Let's just say - I'm very, very tempted to get a tattoo now...

Since the times when I spent a few years in California, I was tempted to get a tattoo...A petite one, of course. It seemed that everyone in California, especially in the SoCA had a tattoo... At the end of the day, I decided to go to a belly-ring instead, which, I thought, would be a safe bet, because it's REmovable, meaning - any time it's out of 'style' - it could be taken out. Anytime it's out of 'comfort' - it could be taken out.

And then again, this year at the DC Fashion Week - nothing like last year at all - most of the models had tattoos! And I'm not even talking about petite tattoos. I'm talking about the all-arm, all-shoulder kind of tattoos - in color too! I wondered, were I the only person in the audience who've noticed them and thought of it a rather 'odd' trend? Or is it just because the designs revealed more of the skin this time around? What's going on???????

Her bold statements in regards to how the fashion industry works and what goes into the production of one of the most prestigious fashion magazines in the world once again proved, why she's been considered one of the most controversial editors in the history of Vogue. She shared with us the things that most of the fashion industry players are afraid to say out-loud....

The Stylish Simplicity: A Stylish Casualness

There is something about the people, who know, how to dress simple and at the same time - stylish. Choosing one attribute of an overall look that both compliments the whole look and, at the same time, adds an element that makes a simple look stylish and less casual, but casual enough - is, sort of, an art.  I see a lot of people, who try too hard to look stylish by throwing everything that they think defines 'fashion' and 'style' and end up looking too made-up. And then I see individuals, who seem to have an art of 'effortlessness' to them when it comes to putting a stylish casual look together. Here's just a few examples of the individuals who did it right - they look effortlessly contend in the casual style... A nice pullover always adds that element of a stylish casualness, sans the pullover - jeans and sneakers would have looked too casual...
