GUILT that ugly word...

Good Morning Petites..hope everyone had a fabulous weekend!!!!Today I would like to discuss GUILT....Has anyone ever had guilt after you bought something or ate something??..I am sure everybody has at one point or another..The word alone is so very ugly and I read somewhere that it is a useless emotion..So what do you think? I think there is a big difference between feeling guilty about something and over indulging yourself..Huge difference..I don't think you should ever feel guilty about treating yourself to something nice..Don't you think your worth it...Too many woman out there have this mentality that that they don't need it..its not necessary..etc..But its really not about that..Its about the small things in life that make us smile...Most of these woman that think like this are miserable..they are always unhappy about this that or the other..They need to see the big picture here..Now on the other hand you have the woman that overindulge in different things and somewhere along they lose the meaning of a treat...So you see that's the difference..I have always been a firm believer in treating yourself good..And I stand by my word..Don't feel guilty about buying that new perfume..you have been eyeing up for months or those shoes that your foaming at the mouth for..why would you feel guilty...you deserve it...You work hard everyday in what ever you do...Treat yourself..Guilt is not a word I would like in my dictionary....its a stupid word..and a word all of us should just forget..lol...until the next time...xoxomish

Guilt is perhaps the most painful companion of death.

FAKES vs. THE REAL DEAL

Hello my petites...hope everyone is well today...its almost the weekend...yeah!!!..Well today's topic is somewhat of a huge debate...and its causing much controversy in the world of Fashion..so I would like to discuss it..so shall we..I am sure all us Fashionista's me included have gone to handbag parties and bought fake bags..guilty as charged...And I can say honestly that I would be soo happy to have my new fake designer bag just like everyone else..well I never gave it much though until recently...For Two Reasons...

The first reason is this...HarpersBazaar recently started a campaign called Fake is never in Fashion...and wrote this article that blew my mind..They stated that these fake bags are supporting terrorism...child slavery and taken jobs away from millions of people..I could not believe it...I never thought that something so insignificant to most could be so dangerous...Pretty bad huh..To read the whole article I will post a link at the bottom of this post...

The second reason is this and your gonna either laugh or think I am the biggest snob ever..( really im not)..I take a lot of pride in my outfits..I do go to great detail to make sure everything is just so..so imagine my surprise when
I see someone who is looking less the fashionable with the same bag as me!!..I hate it..Most of these people do not understand the meaning of these bags..They scream fashion..chic...and most importantly STYLE...So now when you have these less than Fashionista's walking around with designer bags..that look like they just rolled out of bed..you basically want to scream..I have friends who can afford to go out and buy real..yes real designer bags..and imagine their surprise when they see someone who paid $30.00 for a $300.00 bag..I dont know..its weird..right..I knew this sounds very snobbish but its really how I feel..I buy items because I like them..and not for anything else...so please forgive me for sounding this way..I just take my clothes and outfits very serious..Let me know how you all feel..I would really like to know if I'm not the only one who feels this way..

So basically at the end it does come down to a moral thing and for some it wont bother them and for some maybe you will think twice..And I not gonna say a word either way..but this..these bags are meant to mean something..The designer's who created them were screaming Style...so please wear something decent with them..Coco Chanel is probably rolling over in her grave right now...until the next time...mishxoxo

THE SALON

Good morning Fashionista's..hope everyone is having a fabulous day...Did you ever smell the smell in a hair salon?..Its definitely a smell you remember right?..good or bad...Anyway..you know how smell is used to put you in certain moods?..well last week I was at my hair salon and I was just sitting there under the dryer waiting for my hair to be done...and I got real with my surroundings..did that ever happen to you?..well its does to me when I let it happen..so anyway..I started looking around and watching everybody..and I thought to myself this is a really cool place..Its where woman come to get pretty..Cool..everyone is usually happy and theres really hip music playing..I think I like it...And there is style and fashion all around you.. I think I love it...And as I look around I see woman doing hair and nails..I think to myself these woman are like drs. in the fashion world..they fix people and make them feel better...Do you agree?..There is nothing better then a good haircut..the way they blow your hair out and you feel just fabulous...Of course there is those tragic moments when you get a god awful haircut and you want to kill someone..lol...but how much does that happen...and if you say all the time..then you definitely need a new stylist..I love to get my hair done..its like the best..hell I like being pampered period..its true bliss..So now when I walk into my hair salon and smell that smell I will be instantly transformed to a positive being...and I also came to this conclusion that day..in my next life I want to be a stylist!!!lol...see ya Thursday...mishxoxo

SUPERHERO

Good morning petites..hope everyone is well..I am so sorry that I have been neglecting my Fashionista's lately..please forgive me..I have been a little crazy lately..But I am back and ready to go...So here goes..A couple of weeks ago I was driving my kids to school and my youngest son asked me if I had done something for him and honestly I forgot..Well did he ream me out..anyway I calmly said to him..I am no longer a superhero..Conversion done...but is it?..A couple of days later I find myself thinking about the same conversation...I started to recall the moms of the 1950's ( think Donna Reed and Mrs. Cunningham) These woman were the CEO's of their family..They did it all..Took care of the house, the kids and their husbands and looked fabulous doing it..And they were always happy and never stressed..Weird huh...they were superheros in my mind..lol..So the questions is do I want to be like this..I don't know..I definitely like the part of looking fabulous..lol...but were they the true stepford wives...or the the modern day superhero fashionista moms..I would like to think of myself as a Fashionista mom..but believe me..you will not catch me vacuuming with heels on or saying "Yes Dear..how was your day dear". I think thats a little crazy...but I do like idea of taking care of my house and my kids and dressing fabulous..thats sounds great..The woman of the past seemed to have paved the way for us today...They have made it possible and certainly acceptable to be just this..A Fashionista Mom...So the next time your stressed or god forbid forgot to do something..just put on your Superhero outfit and transform yourself...mishxoxo
