Case of the Monday's

There ain't no free lunches in this country. And don't go spending your whole life commiserating that you got raw deals. You've got to say, 'I think that if I keep working at this and want it bad enough I can have it.'

Photoshoot: The Gift of Life

I recently did a fun maternity photo shoot with my close friend. I researched maternity photography and I loved the idea of embracing the art of creating a life thru film. A great gift is the gift of life!

Happy Monday :)

Happy Earth Day :)

Happy Earth Day!!!

Today I thought about how Fast Textiles (also referred as "throwaway" or "fast fashion") will slowly ruin our earth. A lot of retailers such as Forever 21 are victims of the Fast Textile economy. Just think about when the cost and quality for an item is set low the demand rises. But i am a victim, i do shop at Forever 21 occasionally but they should follow different paths like Urban Outfitters "Urban Renewal" line to make more of an eco conscious step towards a healthy earth! :)

Picture of the Week: Laurie-Ann

Bitchie Life: How would you describe your personal style?

LaurieAnn: I think my idea of fashion was birthed out of dance and the street. Going to the clubs in New York and then when I would go out, I would be queen of the gray shoe, a t-shirt, a jean or leather pant. But when I had to start branding myself and moving up, I began competing on a different level. I would totally get sand plastered on the blogs. I thought it was about “Oh, they would be happy that I don’t care I’m in a 99 cent shirt, there would be no pressure but they were like “Ooo, what is she wearing?” Then I was like ‘alright, let me figure this thing out’. So, it’s still new for me but I guess I’m more about the construction. I love designers that make clothes well. I love the build of a piece, the silhouette. I like pieces that are made really well and I like designers that understand women.

"Construction" goes hand in hand with the phrase Quality over Quantity!
