Tight doesn't mean it's RIGHT by Mia Anita

1. Living in L.A., I don’t know how many times I’ve seen a chic stumbling in heels she can’t walk in wearing a Melrose original that another chic 3 blocks up is also wearing. It’s like an epidemic here on the West. And granted our weather is much nicer than the rest of the U.S., I just don’t see that as an excuse to have no originality and willingly become the 3rd triplet of the evening wearing the same fit 2 other chics – in the club - are wearing.


Now the sameness factor is only a minute issue when speaking of L.A. fashion, the first epidemic is the How tight can this go disease. Now don’t get me wrong, I’ve had my day wearing the tight of the tight – American Apparel – but at a certain age that ‘ish has to GO! Women not understanding their body shapes, which will be discussed in the upcoming ebook – look out for that – step out of their houses wearing colored saran wrap wrapped around mom’s freshly baked cellulite and pulge muffins. Just because the dress was cute in the window on a size 6 mannequinn should be a tell-tale sign, this is NOT the item for you. Also, women without curves, just say no. I understand thin women are able to wear whatever they want because we live in a society that is JUST now starting to accept there are women larger than a size 8 walking around these streets, but that doesn’t justify how a tight dress looks on you when you have nothing growing from your body to help fill it out.

This is not a diss post, this is a dish post, on real stuff. The day of the ultra-tight, bad quality attire has come to a close. The need for individuality and body type style is screaming loud-and-clear come get me. Just because it’s tight, does not mean it’s right, that goes for the 110lb. and the 280 lb. It’s ok to wear clothes that fit, but please take into consideration your skin, veins and muscles, as clothes these days aren’t made to fit just your skeleton.

Trish McEvoy Make-Up Planner - Bespoke Make-up on the Go!


Mrs. McEvoy was really onto something when she created her patented line of travel-friendly make-up planners. On my visit to Nordstroms yesterday, I had a wonderful experience with one of Trish's artists, Rachel at the Grove. She taught me at least 4 tricks to make your DIY attempts look the same as spreads and shoots. As we were talking, she showed me the make-up planner and how it is customizable to every woman. As soon as she pulled out this-and-that colors and swapped in new ones of all different shapes and sizes, I was sold. The colors - no matter if blush, bronzer, eyeshadow - are all magnetic so it's super easy to switch and go. Why I like it so much is because most women now-a-days are constantly on the go. The amount of time we have to get a sufficient amount of sleep, eat, get dressed and then have the audacity to try and primp ourselves in the mirror can really be a joke. If you're like me, you're in the bed up to an HOUR before you have to be at work and the thought of putting on anything that evens, tones or illuminates is impossible. Having to lug around a suitcase full of make-up is also a joke and quite frankly, a lost cause. This planner would let me plan the night before or even the Sunday night before my week and would allow me to take 5 to 10 minutes in the bathroom at work and bust out a whole new face without jeopardizing my precious snooze hits. GENIUS! Or if I get an impromptu invite for drinks, etc. I can refresh and go either in the bathroom or in my car. It's like having a full-equipped portable bathroom vanity with you at all times! No this is not a plug nor am I getting paid to say this (although I wouldn't be mad at the offer ;)D I just really liked this idea and product and think it would serve a lot of women who value upkeep but don't have enough hours in the day to do full-out sit-downs and set-ups.



I hope this really helps some woman or women out there who's been having this issue for a while... Good Luck!
