Summer Inspiration

It's been raining for days here in The Burgh & it doesn't seem like it has any intention of letting up, so I HAD to relocate, I decided to browse the net to find some summer inspiration for work & play :-)

When I think of Summer Attire, I think cool, flirty, sleek, and managable fabrics, now we can't forget that it has to be versatile for the workaholics who choose to play after work :-)

 2011 is calling for a BOLD attitude, to go along with the selection of Color Choices, and the Accessories that are available to compliment our ensembles.

Hope you guys enjoy the pics, they are from the Austrailian Fashion Week Spring/Summer 2011 Show

Phasion for Thought

Hey Good People,

 What inspires your daily dress...
Is it Originality, T.V, Magazines, or Your Mood Etc.

Do you have a "Go to" item that you can rely on, or a favorite piece that you know will be as versatile as the days flow?  

Step into the Lab & let's take a look in your closet, PHASIONLAB's gonna give you what you need to continue to look Fabulous!!

*Your closet needs to have form & function...let your personality show on the outside while setting the trends
 
*Your outfits should be able to go from sunrise to sunset...a quick change of an accessory i.e shoe, top, or handbag can be the Rx needed for your Wardrobe

*Last but not least, make sure your purchases work as hard for you as you do for them, versatility within your wardrobe is a Must!

Know what works for your build, to go with the Style that you have Created, NOT one that you are emulating :-)

Until next time Stay Phasionable!!

Talking Phasion

On Weds May 4, I was able to meet some very interesting young women while doing a Phasion workshop at Job Corps-Pittsburgh. It was a delight talking with the girls as I shared some pointers on complimenting their body types, there were prizes raffled off, laughs to be had and it was an enlightening experience for everyone.

In our society there are so many young women, whom if they had an ear to listen, proper guidance and an opportunity to make something their "own" they would benefit from the knowledge received.

I challenge my readers to raise the standard on day to day dress, by setting the example for our younger men & women to follow. It is imperative that the phrase "wysiwyg"(What you see is what you get) does not end up being the bottom line for our future men & women in the workplace, but that they learn to show an interest in presenting themselves in a Phasionable way.

Until next time,
Kia
