Words Of Wisdom

“It’s simple: Everyone should have a black blazer.”-Domenico Dolce

“The best style advice came from my parents: Be honest.  Just be yourself.” -Stefano Gabbana

“I believe one can live many lives through personal style.  Every day is an occasion to reinvent yourself.” -Ralph Lauren

“The time to be fabulous is right now!!!!!” -Lord Darling

Play by your own rules

I’m so sick of all the ‘rules’ dictated to me in magazines!!!!!!

PEOPLE WHO HAVE STYLE FOLLOW THEIR OWN RULES!!!!!!!!

My friend Michelle, on the blog alot, a very stylish gal…I think she looks great. What would she do if Glamour Magazine said, “Pilgrim dresses are so over”?

I just read in ‘GQ’ magazine that square toed shoes are done forever- really?  Such declarations are arrogant, silly, and too general to work for everyone. 

Magazines are great for ideas but don’t ever let them dictate to you what to do or wear.

I also find seeking relationship advice from magazines to be absurd and a mistake.

I like magazines and always have but there are bijillions of other ways and means to find inspiration…like what you like unabashedly!!!!!

Be inspired!

Be inspired!

costumes for the day: Hollidays Holiday 2011

Monsieur Foss et moi are a dynamic duo who have a dilemma- a dilemma in regards to what to call ourselves- not only as a gay couple (partners, boyfriends, spouse, significant other…) but as a familial unit.  As someone who is discriminated against daily- especially when it comes to marriage equality- I wanna rip off a girls ponytail when I hear that, although married, she is keeping her last name.  How unromantic and anyway- follow the rules- it’s a small sacrifice…

Anywho- tell me what you think- Monsieur Foss has a wonderful middle name, ‘Holliday’ and we were thinking that would be our new last name.  I think it has a lovely ring to it- Mr. and Mrs. Holliday- can you guess who the Mrs. would be? 

So these are some of our costumes over the holidays (sorry I’ve not been actively blogging but all the strength I can muster goes into getting through ‘the most wonderful time of the year.’
