Letter from the Editor

Would you believe it if I told you the first time I purchased a fashion magazine I was 18 years old! I subscribed to Elle Girl my first year of college and it has been on every since. Growing up in the far North you'd think I would have fashion spreads all over my room since the age of 12 because the fashion scene upstate is no scene at all. Everything is slow and behind. Truthfully no one ever told me what to wear or how to wear. I just wore what I want although no one agreed to it. When most of the girls were rocking Jordan sneakers I wore bright color converses and bowling shoes. Stone washed jeans with a motor leather jacket was my favorite ensemble. No one ever got me at all! I was weird when it all came down to it. Any one who knows me will confess to you some of my most tragic or beautiful moments.

Magazines are affordable fashion philosphy! You can always use them for reference and as a paper back stylist! I luv to read The articles because all fashion writers see things differently. It is important for me to learn from others because it helps me grow. Fashion is an art I deeply appreciate and every thing around me is an inspiration to write or style. It is amazing how many fashion stories and show themes I come up with just by riding the train every morning through NYC. Amazing!

The Political Stand!

It is July 4th and I am riding the train to meet up with my loved one in BK and thats when I spot this weird but hot get up.I look over to my right and I notice a young man wearing a red, white, and blue plaid shirt. This is an obvious cliche for the holiday but his brown cowboy hat that has an Obama 08 for President pen on the side of it really blows me away. You have to give him credit because this presidential election is really touchy and sensitive, people just do not want to talk about it. The fact that he is young pulls the trigger so you know I had to go and chat with him.

I tell him his outfit is hot and ask him about the inspiration behind it. He tells me basically he dresses like this everyday and he just want people to stand up for who they are what they believe in. He ask me who I want to be president and I tell him Obama he says "well I'm voting for John Mc Cain".

My Partner in Crime!

My partner and crime Madame julissa is always around the city getting the job done. When things get rough she never complains she just look at me and say something crazy. We both will laugh and fight any obstacle that comes our way. She is such an interesting character but of course a fashionable one! Checkout her ensemble...... it is so her.

Sex and the City

I have never ever of all my 23 years witness girls going mad to see a chick flick! But of course when it comes to Carrie, Samantha, Miranda and Charolotte the world of the fabulous and glamorous goes wild. The Sex and the City movie is the biggest thing out for the ladies this year besides the notice of Hillary Clinton running for President!

The SATC is all about being YOU to the MAXIMUM. Ladies all around the world can relate to the women in SATC. It is about spending those countless nights and days with your girls. Rather it is shopping, crying, traveling, partying, complaning or driving each other crazy you know it is the experiences that make you closer.

This flick is an inspiration to all who watches it. It is about dreaming and believing anything and everything is possible! Most importantly doing all of it in style!
