Classsic Persona Inspiration

              Style is defined by clothes, of course, but more importantly persona ( or attitude) . So every stylish young lady needs a fashion and a persona icon. There is alot to choose but il give a shout out to my favorites... For all of us,  stylish young ladies: five classy ladies who will always be timeless fashion/persona icons.


 


Audrey Hepburn: funny,but serious, light hearted but   sentimental, cute but mature, self-assured but caring, beautiful inside and out, and to top it off timelessly chic..  Her recipe of beauty  are words to live by: (in pic)






Katherine Hepburn:  honest, strong, independent, self assured and dressed for herself and noone but herself. When other people downtalked her and her style, she stayed true to herself and  rose above the stupidity... ( round of applause for this lady)....

Bette Davis: strong-willed, dedicated, fiery,  passionate about her career. She never settled. This was hard because at the time she was starting up the movie business was dominated by men. Women's characters were  shallow and played up the gender stereotype of the weak-willed woman. Bette Davis blazed the trail for other actresses by standing up to the industry, so she could get substantial movie roles that portrayed  strong determined women. She was rewarded with a career that spanned six decades, and a legacy that stands today...

Doris Day: beautiful, talented, relatable, charming, respectable, she never cheapened herself. She proved that you don't have to sell yourself cheap to be famous. She is a true role model for young women everywhere.

Marilyn Monroe: smoldering, glamourous, self-assured, confident and pretty life smart. Take a look at these proverbial quotes:  

"When it comes down to it, I let them think what they want. If they care enough to bother with what I do, then I'm already better than them."

"Imperfection is beauty, madness is genius and it's better to be absolutely ridiculous than absolutely boring."

"We are all of us stars, and we deserve to twinkle."

"It's better to be unhappy alone than unhappy with someone."

"Women who seek to be equal with men lack ambition." 

"its better to be hated for what you are than to be loved for what your not"

Theres soo much more but for the sake of time and space heres a link to the rest...

A Little Mystery Goes A Long Way

  

This weekend I went for a pleasant bikeride on the beach. Unfortunately  I left my earphones at home. (no Best Coast  no happy..frown.. )But actually  maybe i should say "fortunately" . Since I wasn't listening to anything I could really take in my surroundings..And I got lots of blog post inspiration.(people watching, wierdos galore.) One thing that particulary caught my  blog post eye was just the lack of mystery.
        I mean girls in skimpy string bikinis, guys in thongs ,letting absoulutely evvvverything hang out..Im all for loving your body, comfort in your skin , taking risks and all that. Buuuuuttt when you are wearing those things its..well ..it isnt much better than going around naked. Most people dont want to see that (hopefully)...
            Also since sooo many people go on the beach half-naked, you get lost in the crowd of bodies. Since you're practically naked someone who's decent (just wants to get to know you) probably wont feel comfortable talking to you.You really miss out because sometimes the beach is a good place to meet people. Depending on the beach (if you're a regular local and whatnot,) its possible to make friends or meet potential girlfriends/boyfriends. What you really want  is someone interested in you ,not your body.  Im pretty sure that   if  people wore a   bathing suit  that shows only about 60% of skin and flatters their body shape.. they'll find people will want to look, even talk to them for good, non-creepy reasons.


Im sure that you all have seen string bikinis and thongs..so im not going to include pics ..but here's some pretty chic swimsuit ideas for girls            (guys: for you its simple. Just two rules (1)trunks suffice, no no more than suffice..theyre great awesome.. (2) otherwise when picking swimwear remember Do sporty  athletic Dont (emphasize don't)  come anywhere close to walking male anatomy lesson)


See.. if you cover-up alittle you get smoldering, mysterious but approachable, and beautifully stylish....win winn winnnn...  X)
