I must say, I’ve been wanting to do this post for a while now. Just trying my best to get my thoughts in order, so here goes. Is Beauty Overrated? Now I ask this because I happen to think the emphasis on beauty is ridiculous. People obsess over it, and some believe that’s o.k because we live in a superficial world and if you don’t look good then your not getting opportunities or a man or blah blah…Look beauty is subjective no matter what. One of my favorite models is Stacy Mckenzie, and I think she’s beautiful, but growing up people called her ugly. I’ve seen people who others may consider beautiful, but i beg to differ. I would never say who though, because being negative is not productive so I’m gonna be a good girl and keep that to myself! Any hoo, being beautiful is something no one can achieve especially if they’re relying on the opinions of others. So the key is to treat yourself with respect and take pride in the way you look. Before you walk out the door say frankly to yourself “Am I presenting myself the way a person who respects themselves would”?

Now, This is a great opportunity for me to practice what I preach because I never use to care how I looked and thought that if I did, it was vain and superficial. This is not the case, just because you want to look your best does not make you self absorbed. When I started to work in fashion I quickly had to change my tune. And this is really sad for me to say but I’m just now really realizing how interesting make up can be. Its fun to experiment with different looks, its a shame I didn’t start earlier. So this is the kick off point to what I call the “Blueprint” of style and so the first post in this series is called “Makeup”. And don’t forget to leave a comment :)
