Stylish with Substance

Stylish with Substance - and that means YOU!

Ella M — Tue, 27 Jul 2010 15:00:58 -0700

I didn't create this blog title thinking it only reflects moi. I believe the name describes every normal woman who loves fashion. Loving style does not subtract from our substance! The problem is some think it does. I'd rather not even face that, but I see now it's true. Not just from my life, but from Internet trends you likely know of. Grechen from Grechen Blogs, etc. just wrote about this,...

I talk about periods. Why do I seem to be the only one?

Ella M — Mon, 26 Jul 2010 19:18:30 -0700

Do periods gross you out? Sure, they do. Are you a woman and you still find them intolerable? Duh. They're even worse for women than for those wimpy men! But as young adult females, we must endure them. But do we not talk about them, even as we all go through them? Why does it seem to me that women opt out of the therepeutic benefits of commisserating over our monthly curses? If a lady's...

Chic Geek: Games + Fashion - Sugar's "Retail Therapy" (+ Strategy Tips)

Ella M — Thu, 22 Jul 2010 14:17:03 -0700

PopSugar has started their own brand new Facebook game, and it's for shopping/clothing. (Why not FabSugar then? Anyway....) In the game, called "Retail Therapy", the player owns her own boutique and buys/sells fashions. One also makes an avatar after him or herself, like usual, but this time we get to download ours for display on the web, etc. That's me (or the Amazonian-me with washboard abs)...

Mag Layout: "Retro Sophistication" Dressing Inspiration

50s are long ... back! Louis Vuitton helped inspire a new hemline, with the past being au courant. A short-sleeved jacket keeps it professional in the sun. ...

Going for Broke. No Wait We Are Broke: The Blog's New Face.

Ella M — Wed, 14 Jul 2010 00:42:01 -0700

Most of the middle and lower classes are going through tough financial times. I'm no different, and my blogging is especially no different. What's worse is I've been as depressed as any unumployed person who feels no purpose. I've even been a bit worse than "woe is me" (Woe am I* ), practically wanting to sing out, "Nobody likes me (my blog), I (my blog) should go eat worms". Yes, just like a...

Fashion Forecasting: My 2006 Prediction of Catwalk's Media Cat Fights and More

Ella M — Tue, 13 Jul 2010 22:39:08 -0700

Mainstream fashion journalists have held beef against the blogosphere for some time now. What I didn't know is that I may have predicted this in 2006. I just found an old article (written in December of 2005 actually, but published January 1st, 2006) with this quote, "... the lines of fashion could be blurred as such that the next issue could be a fight between different sides of fashion and...

Personal Style: I, Lauren-Noelle, Vow...

Ella M — Tue, 29 Jun 2010 06:58:12 -0700

To not let Fashion define me, but to make my personal style show off my personal definitions. I will be well-rounded and above all, loveable. Some new people in my life don't love the moi that is "Ella Mode", etc. That is a big part of me, but it is not me. Sure, these people should go shut up and mind their own businesses, but whatever their issues, these people are now permanant in my life....
