Designer Label Whores……Open Discussions Tuesday’s

Hey HAWTies Hey,

Last night watching ‘The Real House Wives of ATL’ they bought up a very good point!! Label Whores!!! Why it is soooooo important for a woman to rock expensive clothing items & more importantly why is it a must that others must know she is rocking the most expensive ish!

Not sure on how the life is in the ATL but I know here in the Bay we have our own type of swag, so yes you will see labels out here but its mixed with what I like to…….Bay Swag! LOL. You have to come here to truly know what I mean by that. But if you travel to Southern Cali…….You may find that you will see a lot of Label Whorish abilities.  I kinda think it depends on the duckets in your pocket……..

I hardly see women with money, (You know them when you see the classy ones!) flaunting around stating & buzzing folks in that she wears nothing but Red Bottoms. I mean why would she? A women that is truly successful within herself & her business will not care about the status but her respect status!   HAWTies, have y’all ever seen Orpah stunt’n on ‘em talkn bout I got all red bottoms……Ummmm no she is to be worried about how to buy a whole country &  run cable networks.  Honestly who has time or concern with who knows what or who I am rocking on any given day.

Is there a certain type of women or girl that is considered more than others a Lable Whore? Are there reasons for one being a Label Whore, like being poor majority of your life or shopping in thrifts stores all your life. Or is it a way to fit in or be better than other women, to be in with the popular crowd.  I mean Im sure that there could be plenty of reasons for loving designer labels, but why? Is my question, why are they SO super important, now please dont get me wrong were not talking about the ladies that rock designer labels & not flaunt were talkn to the other Heffa’s out there. Style is much more than a Label………..

I wanted to know how a few of my HAWTies felt about this HAWT topic, Here’s some HAWTies Clappn’ off

Daunte C.,

“Depending on the person, like you,  you don’t wear designer clothes but you work with what you got, &  Its looks good!  I’m not into labels but ummm……..

It’s not what you rock’n but how you wear it!”

Nathifa B.,

“I think labels are irrelevant and people who put extra on labels don’t need to …they need to let others appreciate their style and not the labels”

Angelique L.,

“Ummm can’t say I really have one. the ones I have come encounter with, seem to use labels as leverage to cover insecurities of something else
I love designer labels but don’t feel like I need to announce what designer I’m wearing like some feel the need to do”

Nicolle M.,

“Well u know I like to wear designer clothing, so I can’t say anything negative!! lol I stay in the Baby Phat & Dereon.

I am starting to expand tho and get stuff that looks nice
Dante W.,
“Its fine if they can support they own habit”
Rozalyn S.,
“Just my general opinion I mean if you got it flaunt it ya know I’m personally not one.
If you got the money to buy things that you want and can afford it there isn’t anything wrong with it no matter what the label is it could also be that someone is just simply infatuated with buying designer brands, some do it for attention and some don’t
 
some do it to fit in or validate their success
 
hell or even just feel better about their worth”
Brandon A.,

“Its nothing wrong with it, as long as u don’t brag about.

Red bottoms are HOT,I think that a women who wears those items are hot. hell if u can afford it rock it. and if u get it as a gift without laying on ur back then ROCK IT! 

So hell Label Whores! Rocks!

I’m a whatever I can afford Label Whore lol yes the clearance rack lol

I love clothes like any other Diva does, but honestly I don’t really care about labels as long as I look nice in it & its comfy on me. But I may not care about them because I don’t have money to go out & blow, but then that made me think well what if I did have a gang of money in the bank all my kids education is paid for & my mom & my future grand kids are set for life (that’s a RICH BITCH in my books) would I then want every Red bottom & Gucci bag known to man………………………. Honestly Maybe not!  Would I own a few labels sure but not my whole closet. I know there are way more important things in life other than how much my shoes are or what the color of the bottom of my shoes are. Plus I so stylish I don’t need a label to define who or what I am! WHOOP!!!!

HAWTies I would love to hear from you all on what you feel about so-called “Label Whores”, Who do you all think is one of the most Famous Designer Label Whore around?

Everybody’s favorite ‘Girlfriend’ Tracee Ellis Ross proves she doesn’t take herself too serious as she poses for the March 2012 issue of UPTOWN Magazine. Inside, she dishes on experimenting with fashion, being shy until she let her hair go naturally and what she’s learned from her mom, Diana Ross.

TREND SPOTTING………………………….. Faux FUR!!!

HAWties I know most of us cant even stand to think the thought about rock’n a Real Fur! So thank the Fashion Gods for Faux Fur!!!!!!!! Those old school Faux Furs n your grandma’s closets are making a come back. Faux furs this winter will make you feel elegant and keep you warm on those nippy days. So if you don’t have one, making a trip down to your local thrift store could give you more options in style in varieties for a cheap cost! So you can rock this trend effortlessly this season with these helpful hints & pics. Please trust & believe that you will see a lot of this, well depending where you live! LOL but why not be a trendsetter in your area or school if no one else is… Check it out HAWTies.

  • Keep it simple & Tailored – look for jackets/coats that have darting (vertical seems that run length of the garment), which gives the coats a more tailored shape , YOU WANT A SHAPE!!
  • Remember that Fur adds bulk to your frame, AGAIN YOU WANT A SHAPE!!
  • If you got a bigger frame, your might want to option for a faux fur vest instead of that floor length faux minx.
  • If your top heavy, go for a mid-thigh or longer coat to avoid  adding bulk to an already  bulky area.

 

 

 


Minimal – Delicate pieces with light details; trimming or fur collars make for simple features that still make a statement.

 

Vest Style - Try pairing your vest with tighter, close-fitting shirts to balance its volume. As well loose, peasant-style tops can create a chill, bohemian look.

 

Accessorize – If you’re hesitant about leaping right into a fur vest or jacket try a dash of detail;  boots, hats, earmuffs, bolero … anything goes.

 

 

 

Faux Fur dont’s:

Overdue it – Covering yourself with head to fur just ain’t cool! Try to only invest in one piece and use it wisely. Disclaimer: my comment under the images was an exaggeration, don’t wear everything at the same time!

Nasty Patterns – Some patterns just aren’t for fur, In my opinion, leopard prints, zebra, or any shapes.

 

Shoddy Synthetic – Horrible texture and nappy looking furs are a NO, NO..pay attention to this!

I hope this helps you all out HAWTies, now please send over pics of your Fauz Fur outfits to Fancydeeva@gmail.com so I can post you lovies!!!!!!!!!
