My Briefing

Hello Who-Ever-You-Are,



I'm Sierra, and welcome to the blog of blunt truth on the fashion industry and fashion in rare form. You might see me dabble in other subjects here and there just to keep you awake, but I like to stick to what I love & hate. I'll tell you now, this is a real blog for the fashionably challenged to the so-called "gurus of fashion." I live and breathe fashion on the day-to-day basis, so I know my stuff. I follow trends, follow my own beat, and drop designers. I'm a freelance writer looking for views. I'm just myself looking for a place to type out my thoughts. I love fashion. I believe in a budget, so don't expect to see me supporting a 3,000 dollar headband; I might gawk at the luxury and find a cheap copy. I hate to be partial, but Marc Jacobs will always have my heart. Any questions? I didn't think so. Prepare to be schooled.

We All Want To Be Fierce

I can't conjure up the idea of ruining an outfit with a completely disgusting accessory to top it off, yet some seem to be able to. Matching, realistic, cute, sexy, genius, futuristic, vintage, bold or even basic sense of style isn't something that floats around their unfashionable brains, the epitome of What Not To Wear. Man, there's nothing like adding a tacky gold sequined hobo bag (un-chic), with a pleather strap I might add, to a very conservative Chanel skirt suit (chic in every possible way)! I just felt the need to let it all out today; since, I've been seeing so many victims walking the streets these days. Don't get me started on the youth today-"Pull your pants up!"

Now that I've vented I can finally get to the process of being a fashion DO rather then a DON'T, my point of view on feeling confident about whatever you choose to wear, and pretty much the key to being...FIERCE!

I like to be comfortable somedays and a complete glamazon on other days. The way you look rides on your mood most of the time, not unless you just don't care for fashion. (This blog probably isn't really for you.) So remember fashionistas, feel great on the inside rather then just looking good on the out! As for becoming a fashion idol, you must remember the basics and some tricks too! From hair to heels, there is always a trick to insure that you look flawless! I'll have a nice list of tricks for you a little later, because I want to get on to the basics.

Every classic fashionista owns a pair of black pumps, a trench coat, a conservative pencil skirt, and pearls (real or otherwise). Think Audrey Hepburn! Audrey Hepburn in Breakfast at Tiffany's

Now if you want to be less conservative, I've got a more modern and younger take on what is classified as chic! You will definitely need skinny jeans, make sure you either go dark wash for a slim look or a light acid wash to really stand out, really accentuates curves on boyish frames. Habitual Acid Wash Jeans

A black bikini or monokini will bring out the sexy SI model in you! Red Carter Slashed One Piece at Victoria Secret

Michael Kors Summer 2010 Monokini

Also, must I remind you that every so-called fashionista could use some clear bra straps and a push-up bra for that matter! Take a little trip to Victoria's Secret, so you can get fitted for a bra; it makes a world of a difference. Something very popular in fashion these days seems to be simple tees. The reason being is that it really can make a chic outfit when you pair it with some skinny jeans and some killer pumps; for the fall, throw a fitted leather bomber jacket over it. The color of choice for these pocket protected tees seem to be just basic white! It makes getting dressed a cinch!

Do not deprive yourself of having fun! Buy some cute, bright leggings that describes your personality. Patterned leggings can turn a boring outfit into something that really grabs someone's eye! The All in Stripes Sweater Leggings at ThKarmaloop.com

Some funky heels really can take an ensemble to the next level, so buy something that is rambunctious! Nicholas Kirkwood for Rodarte-Spring/Summer 2010

As you can see, I can pretty much go on and on about fashion and how to be stylish from head to toe, but I'd be typing forever and you would definitely probably get tired of reading! I'm going to move on to the art of being truly fierce! If you haven't realized it yet, every fierce flame carries themselves with confidence! You must have faith in your outfit, no second guessing! Every diva is confident in themselves, and they don't let people bring them down! Tyra Banks

Also, fierceness comes with not only staying up to date with today's fashion but also by creating styles of their own in the process. The rules of being fierce are so simple. There are no rules! Don't lose yourself!

Chao!

The Beginning

Well, before I open a pure can of fashion whoop-ass on all of you, I'd like to say one thing: thank you. Thank you to all of those who have decided to view my first post. There is a long journey ahead of me, and I promise to keep this blog up and running, so no worries. Now back to what this little post is really about, fashion.

Fashion, what is it really? A system built on trends that condition the human mind, seducing the viewers to believe what they see is how they should be? Is it a simple guideline to be taut with your own personal view on style? No, it isn't any of that, those who think it is need to wake up and smell the fresh box of Jimmy Choo stilettos.

Fashion is for self expression. Designers are artists who create masterpieces, some quality art and some a sad excuse for creativity. I don't remember the last time I saw independent fashion sense, other than Lady Gaga (still not a true original). Heck! I was conditioned by a woman today with some banging shoes! I had to go home, pamper myself, change clothes (loved her outfit so much I copied it), and then check the mirror a million times, a true pity, oh, and then finally left the house. And, with that being said, you see why I'm putting an emphasis on self expression. Be as independent and sporadic as your heart desires! I'm being a complete hypocrite right now, but I honestly can say that I will never do it again. I am going against my own grain as I say this, but being different is what makes you. True words.

Hey! I'm not saying you should walk out of the house with fish tank hooker heels, but be an individual and not a copy! To be honest, I'm the most insecure person when I try to be "different", too scared of what people are thinking as they look at me, are they thinking: "Hey, nice outfit!" or "What happened to that poor girl's other glove?" Riddle me that!

I love trends though; I breath them! Fashion trends keep me feeling on top and fresh. But sometimes the fashion industry loses their realism, but it wouldn't be fashion if it was practical, that's for sure! The newest spring trends aren't to0 bad actually: nudes, military, tribal, romance, pastels, light & flirty, denim, get the picture? I've already got my spring essential list tucked away on my iPod, but I'm not really sure what I'm going to do with a brown pair of combat boots, cute but hard to match up with things. So many choices, so little time until something new replaces what's hot currently. Could it be that I'm getting tired of the same things? I feel as if the fashion world really hasn't come up with a NEW trend. Bringing the 80's back definitely isn't one! Maybe they need something fresh and unheard of, plastic clothing for the new decade? Joking. We might just see it by 2012; it will be a sign that we are all definitely doomed! I don't think I'll be flaunting that trend if it pops up...

Now for my favorite, celebrity bashing and praising! Now first, sense this is my first post, I'll start off with a praise! The winner is Victoria Beckham! I have to give it to her; she is the most fashionable and put together celebrity there is right now, balancing children and a husband! Her outfits are to die for, and her hair is always cute! She's just so posh! On to the bashing--the winner is...............................no one! It wouldn't be right for me to already begin my bashing, need to read up on my 'bloids! Expect to hear some bashing and praising, maybe not the next post, but you'll see some. I kept this post extremely brief and didn't go into much detail on style, beauty, & fashion, my expertise. I promise you'll get a nice little somethin' somethin' by Sunday night. Stay tuned! Happy holidays!

Fashion, style, what is it to you? How did you guys like my first post, hot or not?
