Playing on the Side

What exactly are the official rules of playing on the side or what our generation may say the side chick/male? Is it making sure that you don't call him or her after a certain hour; is it making sure you know and respect your role; or knowing that you won't be the number one priority?

Being on the sideline is never a good option. When you are on the side you get all the bad deals; lack of respect and you don't even get recognize. There are so many women and even men that have played these roles all their lives and have settle for what they think is right.

Does being on the side make you self-conscious? Does it lack self-respect? The main question is Does being on the side make you happy?

Playing that role can get old and it can lose its expiration date. Are you going to get tired of only getting half of that person, are you going to get tired of calling around a certain hour, or are you going to get tired of meeting up at places that people won't go too.

Love is all over the world and in order to find that love people can't just settle for anything. When you settle for playing that role of being on the side you will always get everything on the side. No matter how people may think that it is right for them to be playing the side. In the end the only thing that is going to change is the way your heart hurts.

So to all the people that may be playing that role stop asking yourself these questions: Why do I like him? Why do I like her? Why do I think I love him or her? Why is the sex so good? Why is he with her? Why is she with him?

Keep Calm And Go Shopping!!!

So as summer slowly approaches us fashionistas are looking for that one particular item that we know will start our summer wardrobe off on the right foot. Some people feel that online shopping is the way to go because you can get pieces that other people are not mostly likely to have. In my personal opinion I think that everyone should try different stores, don’t just go to that same regular store to purchase items.

So with that being said let me introduce a new and up and coming online boutique named Primp &Proper. The creator of this brilliant idea is a girl named Whitney Lane who is a native of the Washington DC Area. She is a 2010 Alumni of Temple University. Her eye for fashion is just remarkable; she can put any print or pattern together and make it look flawless. Many would say when they see her that she is very outlandish with her fashion and she is what people would call different. Whitney has that eye for fashion and she would find herself helping other fashion forward women look just as beautiful.

Her boutique offers everything that every girl can imagine. With the help of her seamstress she designs every piece with love and compassion.

Whitney's ultimate goal is to one day open up a few stores in the Washington DC and then make her business into a small franchise. She has been planning this franchise for about two years and everything is finally coming together. But no worries for you fashionistas she will be launching her store on bigcartel.com on the first week of June and her official website will come shortly after.

While Whitney  is all about  serving all nationalities she wants to make sure that her business are African American owned she wants to build her team in that fashion. With her franchise she also wants to showcase other up and coming artists, designers, photographers, models and etc. As of right now she has all women apparel but in the near future she plans to showcase other people’s merchandise and accessories on her website as well. So I highly recommend going to her site as soon as it launches and just Keep Calm and Go Shopping.

Vintage Heaven… Mila and Fire

What is Vintage? Is it those new Missoni jeans? Or is it the funky feeling you get when you wear a printed blouse? Two vibrant, fashion forward young women started every vintage lover’s dream. They started their own online vintage shop.

Mila and Fire are two friends that grew up in Washington, DC who always had a flair for fashion; their style is very unique and untouchable. Their online vintage store started very small at first, with pieces just for women and they sold them off eBay for little of nothing.

 They offered every type of vintage clothing you could think of, from outlandish prints, nice form fitting trousers for the average working girl and amazing vintage accessories. I was there number one client every week. Whenever I wore some of their pieces all eyes were on me. People would be amazed at the prints I was wearing and how they stood out.  Shopping at my favorite vintage boutiques in Georgetown, did not feel the same.  Mila and Fire vintage had my heart! Their pieces show your true personality, along with making you feel like a true fashionista.

These two fashionable women are filled with a lot of talent and they have revamped their online store to a more modern up to date site, they have also open their fashionable minds to vintage men clothing  and are doing a fabulous job.

 I can see many vintage lovers traveling to U St or even Georgetown to visit their boutique one day because these two women are beyond talented. Mila and Fire has managed to bring the global vintage fashion industry to our homes.

So if you are ever searching the web for local vintage boutiques I recommend going online to www. Milaandfire.com and check out some of their amazing pieces and I guarantee you will find something that will bring out your fashionable side.
