How I Became A Pimp

Posted on November 11, 2014 by LFFL

It all started one day when my dad innocently put one of his pimp hats on my head. That girl didn’t stand a chance of being the same person again ever since.

My walk changed, my strut changed, my attitude changed, my fashion sense changed. Now you know! It runs in the family.

Move back and give me room, people! THERE’S NO STOPPING ME NOW!

So, if you have nothing else to do today, find pictures of yourself as a young-un and see if you still have the same fashion sense now that you had then. See if there was a specific moment in time that made you the person you are today.

Take-Away Life Lesson: Never underestimate the power that just one accessory can have on transforming who you become in life.

Pimpin’ At Fashion Week

Hat—Target
Tie—Men’s Wearhouse

Here I am on my way out the door to go to Fashion Week this past September and what an amazing time I had!! I always get excited when fashion week rolls around twice a year when it does.

It’s always fun to attend the shows and it definitely always gives me yet another reason to dress up—which I absolutely love to do!

Here I had some fun with accessories I pulled from my closet. I had no idea how the look would turn out but I made sure to give myself plenty of time to play with different accessories and different ways to wear them—until I finally had a look I was happy with.

None of the accessories here are anything fancy or expensive and can be found and bought pretty much anywhere in your city. So give it go!

So, if you have nothing else to do today, find a hat, a tie, and/or different accessories you can play around with to wear to the next outing you attend. Do something a little different from what you normally would with your look and find new ways to spice it up every now and again.

Take-Away Life Lesson: Everyone should always have a go-to pimp-look that can be pulled off at a moment’s notice. Yes, they will look and stare—but SO WHAT! There’s a reason they are doing so—IT’S GREAT TO BE YOU!

Fashion Week For Spring/Summer 2015

Posted on November 5, 2014 by LFFL

As anyone knows, I just LOVE fashion week when it rolls around. There are always several shows to choose from to attend that week and I usually go to at least one of them.

For this particular week, I chose to attend the show where some of the “Project Runway” designers were showing their collections. I mean, after all, I used to watch “Project Runway” on television all the time at one point—though I haven’t in a very long time.

Casanova, Michael Drummond, Laura Kathleen, Joshua McKinley, Althea Harper, and Anthony Ryan were the six designers who showcased this particular evening and let me tell you—I was expecting a little more from some of them since they were “Project Runway” designers.

I, personally, thought the “regular” designers from the shows last season presented much better clothing than some of the “Project Runway” designers did. So I was a little disappointed—but I had a fabulous time nonetheless.

I mean, some of the fashion you see on the guests attending these shows are sometimes worth the entire experience. It’s always a fun time!

So, if you have nothing else to do today, go to a fashion show for the loud music, the drinks, and to mingle with the other guests while at the same time knowing you may not be impressed with a lot of things coming down the runway.

Take-Away Life Lesson: Never get your hopes up when attending an event just because somewhat “famous” people are going to be there. We’re all human after all.

A Lovely Charity Event

Posted on September 27, 2014 by LFFL

All dolled up and ready to leave for a charity event. I had never been to a major charity event before this one and always wondered what it was like to attend one.

All the donations for this charity event went to one of the local hospitals for cancer research—always a good cause.

I arrived there early enough to see the stage being set up for music, a lady practicing her aerial stunts, and the tents being set up with tables, chairs and whatnot.

Aerial acts.

The tents, food, and a famous country singer.

And, oh my. Food was EVERYWHERE!!! So many different restaurants had their own little areas where they were giving away samples of their food to all the attendees all night unlimitedly. I just loved seeing so much food surrounding me. It was a dream come true—to be surrounded by various types of food and unlimited eating! Heaven!

Everyone was dressed in their finest attire. The men were, oh so, very dapper in their suits and ties and the ladies so lovely in their cocktail dresses and 4-inch stilettos. It was all very high-society, dahling.

So, if you have nothing else to do today, find a local charity event in your hometown and attend it while dressed to the nines in your finest attire. You’ll have lots of fun and help out a good cause at the same time.

Take-Away Life Lesson: It’s always nice when you can give your money to attend a fun event while at the same time knowing your money is being put to good use and was well worth the cost to attend.

Top & Jeans—Victoria’s Secret
Belt—Express

I’m such a fanatic when it comes to the World Cup. Here I was on my way to meet a friend at a sports bar to watch the USA play Portugal.

Though the color red is missing from this ensemble, I thought it was pretty fitting with the white and navy blue stripes for what I grabbed from my closet in such a hurry. Had I not been so excited to leave, I probably would have worn a red belt rather than the gold one. A pop of red could have made the difference.

So, if you have nothing else to do today, mix your team’s colors into your attire before heading out for a fun time.

Take-Away Life Lesson: It’s always better to calm down and give yourself time to fancy yourself up and think through your options so you’re not left regretting that one tiny accessory that could have made all the difference.

While out enjoying the World Cup games, there was no mistaking who this guy was cheering on. I’m going to say the clothing speaks for itself.

So, if you have nothing else to do today, take a risk and wrap your country all around you from head to toe while out watching the games—or just because that’s how you want to dress every day. Should be fun times for you.

Take-Away Life Lesson: Your team can always feel the love when you show your support whether near or far.
