Letter To Me.... Here at 30

Dear Tashmere,
 
I'm 30 now... An official adult. No crying or break downs, at least not because of turning 30. It feels good to be older and have passed some of those early growing pains although I will miss some of those days of wreck less decision making. LOL These days I just can't justify those risks, but it's ok. 

I was in love for a while, Dre, the first one I truly loved. I learned that I can't get anything out of someone that they don't have. I learned that loving someone with all my heart has absolutely no say so in them loving me back. I learned to take myself in consideration and to not allow myself to be swept up into my own feelings and to pay attention more. I learned that I can survive a heartbreak even though some days I thought I could not make it one more second. I learned that I should be able to look myself in the face and stand behind the decisions I make and to not let anything take me too far from who I am. This was a tough one... I'm still working and earning to get past this experience.

This year makes my 5th anniversary with the company I work for...(apparently they are always watching) They are the best company I've ever worked for, which I haven't worked for many, because of their laser focus on the goals of the company. I thought about management and I think it's time for me to make that decision to move up or on. I've learned about work ethic, how to adapt to change, how to take initiative, and hold myself accountable..... The relationships I've made here are priceless and some I know I'll be able to have forever. Starting at Northlake then to Lenox and finally Galleria... All my store managers Fred, Brian, Dixon, Sharonda, Tracy, Octavia, and David...... I learned that change is good... You just can't get too comfortable. 

I've learned that people come and go and that is ok. I found out that if I don't learn to sacrifice that every thing I've dreamed of will be sacrificed by default. I've picked up some bad habits along the way and I don't want them to get out of hand. I'm working on cultivating good habits. 

I love you, I have to go, but I will write again.
MUAH

Swim Thick with Francie Maupin

Francie Maupin has been sketching fashions since her preteen years so it was only a matter of time before she put together a line of her own. She introduces The Diva Kurves Collection by premiering, Swim Thick, a line of swimsuits geared toward curvy women. In a market where the bar for plus sized swimwear has been dramatically raised by Monif C, Nakki Muli, and Cacique, Swim Thick is pushing its way into the mix to make sure all the curvy ladies are covered, literally. Swim Thick will cover standard sizes but will also offer options for ladies with bottom heavy proportions so that they will be able to find swimsuits that fit their curves just right. The extra focus on the ladies with extra curves definitely sets Swim Thick apart from other plus size swimwear. We dig in deeper about Miss Maupin and the release of Swim Thick: How did you start? What triggered you to start a swim line? It seemed like every time I would enter a store or boutique and ask, "where are the plus...

#LiveFashion with Stylist Jackie Turner

Fashion is built on foundation. In order to look good from the outside you have to start solid. Words of gold from Jackie Turner, an aspiring stylist out of Atlanta, fashion is her life... Turner is on a mission to become a personal stylist. Her goal is to help women who struggle with self esteem by showing them how to accent their true selves through fashion. Turner believes that when women are able to see themselves in a mirror how they see themselves in their heads, the positive visions, they can begin to accept and express who they are freely. Turner has had to over come obstacles in her own life and so her theories are from experience. Bullying and mean girls had been part of her every day struggle until she realized that she had a voice. Once she started to realize that she was in control of who she was and that she did not have to be what they told her she began to form her own personal style. Soon other people n...
