Fly Fashion: 10 Non- Clothing Items Every Fly Girl Should Own

28 Mar

As a fly girl, you must think outside of the box and your closet. Being fly means you pay attention to the little details that make you stand out from the crowd, it’s the added thought to the small things that shows you truly have style.

1. Gym membership- You have a closet full of clothes, you might as well look your best in them. Keep that figure tight!

2. Flask- Because girls with class don’t need a glass.

3. Umbrella- Face the bad weather with style.

4. Tool Box- Hang your own Warhol with pink tools.

5. Wine Glasses- Red wine deserves a red wine glass and white wine deserves a white glass. You’re grown; you should know the difference and have proper glassware for every occasion.

6. Stationary- Send sweet nothings or say thank you with your own personalized stationary. In an era of Facebook and email, something personal goes a long way.

7. Pen- Ditch the BIC and invest in a good pen.

8. iPhone- Sorry folks, you get judged by your phone so upgrade now. I mean, there are twelve-year-olds who own one, so you should too.

9. Sewing kit- Every fly girl should know how to sew on a button or fix a small tear, save your money and do-it- yourself.

10. Steamer- For those impromptu events when you need to be on your cocktail dress sh*t but don’t have time to take it the cleaners. A garment cleaner will have your dress party ready in no time.

Fly Fashion: Five Clothing Items That Might Make You A Basic Bish

There are certain clothing items that might make you get the side-eye from a fashionista, so why not use spring as the best reason to go through your closet and remove my top five clothing items that might make you a basic bish. Let this article serve as a guide to elevate your style from basic to fly.

 

1. TrukFit- When worn you give off the perception that you have sucked someone off for some TrukFit. Unless you’re Lil’ Wayne or at the skate park, steer clear of TrukFit.

2. Basketball wives earrings- Nothing says basic more than a pair of ginormous hoop earrings with acrylic rhinestone balls. Basketball wives earrings should stay at your local beauty supply store or on Fulton Street in downtown Brooklyn but not on your jewelry stand.

3. Fine Ass Girls (FAGS) clothing line- Speaking of Basketball wives if you’re rocking Draya Michele’s Fine Ass Girls (FAGS) clothing line than chances that you’ll actually become a BBW is slim to none. Keep in mind; real fine ass women don’t need a shirt to state it.

4. Bandage dress- Whether it’s a Hervé Léger or a dress from Rainbow, there are other outfits to rock to the club so give the bandage dress some breathing room and a rest.

5. Barbie necklace- Grown women don’t have time for games so don’t wear a necklace that references a plastic toy.

Fly Fashion: My top picks from Rihanna’s River Island Collection

5 Mar

Rihanna’s collaboration with River Island feels very throwback; like she has an obsession with the grunge look from the 90′s. Although her collection has an old school feel- the pieces are not dated. Below are my picks from Rihanna for River Island.

I was browsing through Beyoncé’s new BeyHive website (her new site separate from her Tumblr where she posts what she’s wearing, doing, hearing, and loving) and I came across these giraffe WALK flats.

Fly Fashion: The Christian Louboutin Sale Happens in Two Weeks

I was really hoping that this sale was coming mid-November like last year so I’d have more time to stack my coins. Nevertheless, I’m excited about picking up a pair or two. This sale is invite only, with a strict door policy but I believe my fly girls are tenacious and creative so where there’s a will, there’s a way into a Louboutin sale.
