Fashion vs. Style, what’s the difference between the two? Do you
feel that people get these meanings confused? We consider fashion a creation and a perspective of individual designers. Whether it is clothing, accessories, make-up, or home décor, fashion represents the innovators behind each design. Style however, is a form of self-expression reflective of one’s personality, moods, thoughts, and passions.

Have your ever committed a fashion crime? Do tell the details! (Cari) On my 21st birthday, a few years back, I began the celebration with family and friends for lunch at Benihana around 2:00pm.   In the natural birthday girl spirit, I chose to wear a multi-colored sequin top and matching pants.  To finish off my look I stepped out in patent leather sling back heels.  With all eyes on me, I absolutely commanded the attention of everyone dining that afternoon, to quickly find that the looks suggested.. “What does she have on?”  Embarrassed and quite uncomfortable in that moment, I must share with you the lesson behind the madness.  Sequin is fine; but there is a time requirement (particularly after 5:00pm) and a dosage amount (only one sequin garment per look ladies).

(Kay) In Summer of 2011, excited to have received an extended invitation to attend a friend’s pool party, I briefly read over the Evite and heading straight to the mall to grab a new swim suit and cute cover up. Unfortunately for me, upon arrival I discovered I was the only one in a bathing suit, Gucci flats, and a sarong.  What I thought was a summer fun in the sun pool party was really a formal going away party.  Everyone was dressed up in heels and after a quick glance I noticed there were flowers and pink bubbles in the pool.  Embarrassed and confused, I ran back to my car and pulled up the Evite on my phone.  I realized that I missed the fine print that read: Semi Formal Attire. Too humiliated to return, I sped off and headed home.  Note to self: Read the entire invitation and make sure you are dressed appropriately for the occasion.

What are 3 things that every Glam-Aholic should have in her closet? Every Glam-Aholic should have a great pair of fitted blue skinny jeans, a little black dress, and a nude pump in their closet.  These pieces are timeless and always come in handy.

If you could trade closets with any celeb, who would it be? (Cari) I would love to trade closets with Blake Lively who is the perfect representation of the 3 Stylish C’s: Casual, Classy, and Chic.  Her style is polished, yet her looks feel effortless. 

(Kay) Ciara has transformed into my style icon and I would love to trade closets with her any day.  Her style is chic and trendy, whether she is dressed up or rocking a more tomboy look, she always looks amazing.

What tips can you give our Confessions Of A Glam-Aholic readers on how to achieve stylish looks? Don’t play it safe! Push the envelope and experiment with color, textures, patterns, and materials.  We like to say if it feels wrong, it’s probably right.  Style sometimes forces us outside of our comfort zone into a place of daring creativity.  When putting together a look, it’s okay to be inspired by fashion trends, runway looks, and celebrity style, but in order for it to feel natural and personal, you have to make it your own and find a connection that speaks to you.

  1. I just found this blog randomly and I must say I’m instantly addicted. I find myself always trying to push the envelope and try new things but one clothing item I find impossible to add a twist and edge to is dresses. They all seem the same and too safe… Any suggestions on how to add personal style to them?

  2. Hi Alisa,

    With dresses I like to really play it up in my accessories (bags, shoes, scarves, hat, jewelry). If you have a printed dress try to mix things up by rocking a contrasting printed shoe instead of a basic solid color pump. What about an LBD? These are so fun to style because your options are endless! Just remember to try something you’ve never done. Dresses maintain a certain level of elegance when we put them on regardless of the style, so be sure to keep your jewelry simple yet funky! Throw on a chunky statement necklace, oversized clutch handbag, and a nice lip, and you are all set my love!
