Does Your Style Match Your Personality?

StyleStyle is and has always been something that’s intensely personal. If you want to be able to communicate your personality to the rest of the planet, fashion can be a great way to do just that! Your choices in apparel can communicate so much about all of the things that make you tick. Your choices in accessories can do the same exact thing. It doesn’t matter if you have a demeanor that’s flirty, girlish and lighthearted. It doesn’t matter if you have one that’s straightforward, no frills and rather serious, either. Your choices in clothing can tell other people practically everything they need to know about you.

Clothing Choices and Freedom

Making choices regarding clothing can be one of the most freeing feelings possible. It can be a pleasure to shop for clothing, especially if you are shopping online at Modvisor. Modvisor is the place to read reviews while finding brands and stores that fit your style.

Not all shopping is fun. It can sometimes be stressful, too. If you want your clothing shopping missions to be particularly successful, then it can help greatly to relax and take it easy for a bit. Don’t give yourself too much pressure. Don’t give yourself any time limitations, either. If you force yourself to purchase a clothing item within a specific period of time, you may end up making a decision that isn’t “you.” You may end up choosing a piece that doesn’t successfully express who you are. Remember, fashion isn’t something that you can’t ever force. It’s something that has to come 100 percent effortlessly to you.

The most fashionable people in the one are the ones who are effortless. If you look at fashionistas, they almost seem like they rolled out of bed looking as chic and cool as they do. You don’t imagine them obsessing over their outfits and accessories for hours and hours in front of their bathroom mirror. The key to looking like a million dollars is making things look and feel as simple and fluid as can be.

Honesty and Style

If you want to shop for clothing that makes you feel liberated, then you need to exercise honesty at all times. Be aware of the styling choices that work for you. Be aware of the ones that don’t work for you, too. Try every single clothing item on in the dressing room. It can even help to bring a trustworthy friend who has your best interests in mind. Take all sorts of things into consideration while you shop, too. Think about your preferred materials, cuts, and patterns. Think about your specific lifestyle as well. Are you shopping for apparel that’s suitable for daily wear on the job? Are you on the lookout for apparel pieces that are appropriate for errands, social gatherings, weekend relaxation or anything else? The quicker you can identify your shopping needs, the easier it will be for you to get things done.

Your objective should be to never try to follow the crowd. Following the crowd fashion-wise will only make you fall flat on your face. If you attempt to emulate another individual’s fashion sense, it will never appear or feel authentic or genuine to anyone else. The only thing you can do is make the most out of your own fashion sensibilities. Try to be the best version of you possible. That doesn’t mean, however, that you can’t seek inspiration from fashion magazines and similar outlets. If you spot an appealing outfit in a magazine or anywhere else, think about what you can do to give it your own twist. Think about how you can infuse it with more character and vitality.

StyleNever wear anything that doesn’t make you feel totally comfortable and at ease. If you walk around in a manner that’s awkward, you’ll feel awful. You’ll make everyone else who is around you feel awkward and unpleasant, too. Style should be all about feeling terrific. It should be about feeling amazing in your own skin. If you walk around in an outfit with your head held high, it will encourage the people who are next to you to do the same. Fashion is infectious in contemporary society. Feeling incredible is just as infectious. Your aim should be to make style choices that make you feel like anything in the world is possible. It should be to go with your instincts at all times as well. Your instincts matter.

Etsy Love: These Keychains Are Pretty By Themselves

Keychains KeychainsI’m the type of lady who does things out of order sometimes. I once bought a huge jewelry box on Etsy even though I didn’t even own that much jewelry to actually put in it. So when I spotted these keychains from Alexandra of GypsoulCo, I thought, “Uh-oh! Not another temptation!”

I know what you’re probably thinking right now: “Melissa doesn’t have any keys, does she?” Well, you’d be correct on that front. I don’t have any keys that necessitate the use of a keychain and still…I want all these pretty and colorful baubles! They’re the perfect blend of simple with the color and a pop with the soft colors, don’t you think?

Keychains KeychainsPlus, I love how the cactus one reminds me of my Arizona adventures in 2007. You know I’m a sucker for baubles with meaning!! So maybe I could even use these as good luck charms — you know, like something to bring me good luck in my writing endeavors! Check out these beauties for some cheer and inspiration…

Which is your favorite one, friends? Are you a big fan of keychains or do you prefer to keep your keys plain and simple — in other words, just throwing them in your bag?!?!? xoxo

🦁Style Guide: Lovely Leo (the Astrology Sign, Not DiCaprio)♌️

LeoDo you hear that rumbling, friends?? It’s loud and it’s fierce and it’s a VERY powerful roar! It’s the mighty lion — or, rather, it’s the season of the lion. Yes! If you’re as obsessed with all things astrology (who isn’t?!?), then you know that the universe is currently clutched in the reign of the Leo, which just so happens to be my astrology sign!

Although, I suppose it shouldn’t be too surprising that I was born under the Leo sign, based on all the classic traits I share with my fellow Leos. We’re natural leaders. We’re fiercely loyal. We love taking center stage. And we’re romantic, passionate, creative and determined. Sounds exactly like me, doesn’t it?

I’ve actually had this idea for a Style Guide saved as a draft since last year, so I thought today would be the perfect day to talk about all things Leo fashion and style. From cozy shirts to delicate gold necklaces to fun, whimsical socks, show off your Leo pride with these fashion statements…

LeoLion socks, $1.90 | Statement stud earrings, $4.90 | Lion with a crown t-shirt, $20 | Gold zodiac constellation necklace, $11.99 | Lion ring, $59.50 | Lion tote bag, $12.69


Well, friends, I have a strange urge to watch The Lion King now! What about you? Which Leo pick is your favorite? And, I’d love to know…what’s YOUR sign? Does it match your personality? xoxo

Etsy Love: The Cutest Cat Pins For Your Cat Lady Personality

Cat PinsI suppose my cat lady flair is coming out because I’m SO EXCITED to post about our new cat tomorrow (shoutout to Whitney!), but how adorable are these cat pins from Etsy shop Niaski…

United Kingdom-based designer Nia asks this question: “What if your favorite artists were cats?” Well, we don’t have to wonder too long because Nia gives us an answer in the form of her collection of — you guessed it! — cat pins that resemble famous painters and artists. Just a few of my favorites include Salvador Catli, above, as well as…

Cat PinsVincat Van Gogh…

Cat PinsPablo Picatso…

Cat PinsKitty Warhol…

Cat PinsFrida Catlo…

Isn’t that such a cool concept for an Etsy shop? Plus, the likeness to the artist is spot-on, if you ask me!! It’s the perfect blend of cat-like features and the artists’ trademark looks!!

Which is your favorite, friends?? xoxo

P.S. Remember these cute kitty mugs?
