Custom Rosary
That's right people. I am selling original, hand-made, custom rosary. You can take this trend and make it your own with these one of a kind protestant fashion pieces. The pieces do not feature a crucifix, but rather a cross which differentiates them from their traditionally catholic origin. If you would like to place an order, leave me a comment. These wearable works of art are 15 dollars plus shipping (unless you live in the atlanta-metro area). Happy, productive, purposeful shopping!

Black on Black Crime
I believe that one sure-fire method to test one's stylistic prowess is to see how they put together an all black look. Yes, black from head to toe. This would highlight their perception of fit, layering, texture, and personal style. This task forces people to rely on composition skills rather than exciting color to attract attention. I feel that if you cannot reflect your personal style in an all black look, you may want to take more time to cultivate your skills of composition and expression. I will post some example's of this principle soon! Happy, productive, purposeful shopping!

The Gift of Style
Many people do not fully understand the connection between art and fashion. Fashion is a form of art. The only difference between Picasso and Prada is that one masterpiece must be kept in a museum on a wall and the other can be worn publicly for all to see.
This being said, many people are trying to paint a masterpiece without lessons and more importantly without any paint. Certain people are more apt to creating art than others. Many people struggle to create a stick-figure, while a select few can create a fine work of art with little to no effort. The difference between art and fashion is that everyone, by law, must wear clothing at some point in their life (barring the unique situation of birth, life, and death with no job at a nudist colony). Therefore the myth that "I don't need to care about what I wear" is ridiculous.
As I quoted to the lower left, "You are a walking billboard at all times...what are you advertising?". The people who say they "don't care about clothes" have gotten so discouraged with their fashion sense and sense of style that they have accepted the ridicule of others as truth and have created an excuse that says they somehow look a mess on purpose. Friends, this is unnecessary and somewhat psychologically harmful. If I want to be a better basketball player, I must first realize that I am not as good as I think I am. This only happens when I accept what others have told me (people you know and love you; ones who care about you). Secondly, I must seek the advising of a player who is better than I am and consistently utilizes their skills in basketball. I must become equipped as a player. Friends, Fashion is no different. You must seek the help of someone who consistently utilizes their skills in fashion and has an undeniable sense of style.
If you struggle to pick something off of the rack, you will inevitably struggle to choose something out of your closet. A closet lacking essential pieces and personality is an empty pallet. You can have the greatest desire to create a masterpiece, and perhaps even the skills to make it manifest, however without the paint it will never be realized in the physical. This is what we are here for. To give you the skills to create your own masterpieces and the tools to give you the freedom to express your vision fully. Contact us for official consulting inquiries. Happy, productive, and purposeful shopping.

The Forgotten Accessory
What is the one accessory that everyone was born with? That's right boys and girls...it's hair. Hair is the most underrated and forgotten accessory to the average person. Many people choose a hairstyle for a period of time and never consider manipulating it according to the clothing they are wearing for the day. Many styles of clothing suggest a certain hairstyle. If this is taken into consideration you will take your 'walking resume' to a whole new level. A complete look will make people want what you have. Your hairstyle can be the difference between conveying an authentic sense of personal style, and looking like someone else dressed you in the morning and forgot to style your hair. You want to walk the thin line between theme inspired clothing and costume. There is a difference between being inspired by corporate America and looking like you are a secretary for Halloween :) Please stay tuned for pictorial examples of this principle. Happy, productive, and purposeful shopping!
Cost Analysis
Do you find yourself struggling to keep up with the Jones's? Do you turn down quality, stylish items for the more expensive name brand item with lesser style? Well STOP. The reason many people are overly concerned with label and brand is because they lack personal style. These individuals cannot effectively express their personal style, therefore they want the label or brand to make a 'fashion statement' for them that they cannot effectively articulate. This is fundamentally the difference between fashion and style. On a basic level, fashion is what something is and style is how something looks. Personal style is the ability to reflect your individual thumbprint through your clothing and accessories. Ive seen a baggy Ed Hardy shirt worth $90 look worse than a well fitted $2 Hanes v-neck from Walmart.
Style and fit trump label in all areas but quality. What I mean by this is...usually 'you get what you pay for'. Many people err on the other side of the shopping spectrum in this area. Many people will buy 3 cheap items to 'save money' and end up spending more then what they would have spent on a more expensive, quality item that lasted longer. In conclusion, look for style and quality before you look for brand, unless a brand is synonymous with quality. Otherwise you will become a 'slave to name' rather than 'mobile with style'. Happy, productive, purposeful shopping.
