Let’s explore the best accessory of all, a confident attitude. I believe that this is very important have in order for people to take you seriously. I also think that it is what makes people stand out to us on the street. What makes a c0nfident attitude? Is it a strong handshake, a determined gait, having good eye contact, speaking well, having the ability to engage strangers or going to pool without stressing over how we look in a bikini? I believe it is mix of those things.

Personally, I know that while I have might have confidence among my friends and in doing things I feel comfortable with, it is difficult to have confidence when I am put into a new, unfamiliar situation. What do I do? Well I am a big believer in “fake it to you make it”. I try to think confident thoughts and remind myself that I can bring something to the table. I also  have some strategies in order to help myself feel confident.

1) try to keep a smile on face, and remember that no matter who I am about meet or see that they are human too. I try to ask lots of questions, because it makes people feel engaged and makes you feel better when you find some common ground.

2) I always try to have have some great lingerie on. It gives me confidence, knowing I look good, even though its just for myself. Plus I always think of the old adage “what if you were in a car accident,and were taken to the hospital do you want to known as the girl with the granny panties on?”

3) Dress to impress. For some reason, I think that being in business attire and heels suddenly gives me a giant boost in confidence! I do believe that they call them power suits for a reason. Love these looks from Nordstrom

4)In general, just try to have clean clothes on, and if for some reason you get got in a less then clean state, make a quick joke and then move the conversation on.

5) Ok, so this is weird but it makes me feel confident if my nails look nice. They either have to be polished or bare, no chipped off nail polish. I feel that chipped nail polish makes me look sloppy, like I don’t pay attention to details or something. Check out these colors here and here

I have to say, that this week I have been rather uninspired by fashion, and so have nothing new or exciting to say on the matter. Here are some beautiful people from The Sartorialist to brighten up your Friday.

I am in love with this outfit. The hat, the scarf, the colors, what is not to love?

I wish I could fly off to Brazil, for a tropical getaway. I love the earrings, the dress, and that drink looks amazingly refreshing.

I think that this shot is very glamorous,  her black outfit and the snow, make her Louboutin heels pop!

Yay! Its the first official Friday fashion post.  So for this week I thought I would focus on one of the physical traits that makes someone fashionable.  Their hairstyle.  One of the first things I notice is people’s hairstyles. Nothing makes someone pulled together like a nice ‘do. It is one of those small touches that can really make jeans and a tee look pulled together vs. the jeans and tee look that says I didn’t have anything else to wear. Here are some things to help make you look more pulled together.

The basics:

• Make sure your hair is brushed and cleaned.
• If your going to do a ponytail make it look nice, not just hair piled on the top of your head.
• If your hair is dyed, especially if it is dyed blond, make sure your roots don’t grow out to much.

More advanced ideas:

• Utilize some nice products/ accessories
• Maybe spray some perfume in your hair;  it will make it smell nice, and if you happen to be cuddling with someone they will be able to catch a hint of your perfume scent
• Experiment, try a new cut or color, or a completely new hairstyle

Finally check out these cute hairstyles!
