Women of Style: My Favorite Stylish Bloggers

Women of Style: Stylish Bloggers / www.vanessahwood.com

The late, great Karl Lagerfeld has been credited with saying, “Sweatpants are a sign of defeat. You lost control of your life so you bought some sweatpants.” As I scrolled through Instagram this past weekend, I saw a dozen or so memes about when it would be acceptable to change from your daytime sweats into your nighttime sweats. Because of this somewhat lackadaisical attitude towards “getting up and getting dressed”, I felt inspired to feature 13 stylish bloggers in this month’s edition of “Women of Style”. I figured we could all use some fashion inspiration, so put on your best […]

Friday Favorites: Instagram Bloggers

Instagram is my favorite form of social media, simply because pictures are literally worth a thousand words, or in this case, a thousand #hashtags. Some days I can’t wait to open my Instagram feed just to see what people post. Instagram is a treasure trove of beauty, indulgence, food, fashion, love, and life. I follow people, models, magazines, businesses, as well as friends and fmily. I follow fitness, beauty, fashion, and celebrities. I watch as people travel, party, change their hairstyle or haircolor, announce their pregnancy and then the birth, announce new business ventures, celebrate birthdays, anniversaries,  and deaths, and […]

Summer Fashion: Make It Your Own

“Don’t be into trends. Don’t make fashion own you, but you decide what you are, what you want to express by the way you dress and the way you live.” – Gianni Versace I’m not one for trends. I like the trends, but they don’t always like me or my body shape. So Gianni Versace was right when he said “don’t make fashion own you.” I dress for comfort and for the way I live.
