Red = Passion

October Vogue Turkey

Recent Gala Style editorial photo shoot in an grocery store we did as one of my work projects reminded me on how classic chic 60's style outfits, red lipstics and a classic updo can make an old movies kind of diva out of an "average" looking women, more so, nine month pregnant women. 

              
Further, this made me think about the power of red color and what it does to a women.

It gives us an instant sexy feel, evokes our cat like moves and brings out the sensuality in the way we move. 

Wearing those high leopard print heels, short and tight or long and floaty red dress by fashion virtuoso like Valentino and a Chanel lipstic automatically pushes our chest and our butt out, our shoulders backs with a shinny purse hanging of the thin chain and pout our lips in a seductive manner - its almost an animal instinct. 

    

Meowww you go ladies! Just keep your claws in please! ;)

This year dear to pick something red for holidays! You will surely have stories to tell!

Be daring, be different! 

"I had on a beautiful red dress, but what I saw was even more valuable. 

I was strong. I was pure. I had genuine thoughts inside that no one could see, that no one could ever take away from me. 

I was like the wind. "

Xoxo,

Stay.

Why don't you stay...just another day?

There was one thing, I forgot to say,

but wasn't sure if I may,

and I just couldn't find a way.

There was one thing, 

I wanted to do, 

to follow the feeling 

between me and you.

I wanted to do it, but I didn't dare,

I just wanted to ask you, weather you care.

Now when I  know that you do,

and this is something you may want to persue.

I feel less blue cause you gave me a clue.

Tango.

Take the charge, write a song,

Shake it at a party all night long.

Always work hard, 

But know how to love 

and when to put down your guard.

Tell the truth, speak no lie,

Be real strong, never cry.

Take a risk and keep your speech brisk.

Always be proud and stand out in a crowd.

Know your worth and speak the truth.

Show me you care and change your life if you dare.

Do it soon, shoot for the moon.

Life is to short to just play the sport,

don't spend most of your life in a lie on an airport.

Invest some in love, currency is heart.

We both have feelings, thats a good start.

Tell me you'll do it, say it or leave,

You know that I care, but I am not that naive.

If you don't show it soon, I will give up and leave,

It takes two to tango, I need to know that you believe.

Tango

Be a woman. Woman.

Lately I was thinking about modern women bounderies. How free we really are to do whatever we want versus how it used to be before. Granted, there is still a lot to fix in terms of significant differences in pay man vs. women as well as the choices we are still forced to make sometimes - having family or successful career.


But if we want to be completely honest, many of the boundaries are set by women for women.
  Are we so spoiled with choices that now we cannot make one? Are we trying to act so strong that we don't allow ourselves to relax and be gentle and sensitive, and let somebody else to take charge and do something for us?


Here is a magnificant lace & florals fairytale to remind us its ok to relax & enjoy being a women at its fullest. :)

Romance.

Your write great rhymes,

Now I'm like your biggest fan,

Emotions took over,

That wasn't the plan.

It's been now a year,

by this time you should be clear,

You should know if you care,

you should know what you feel.

When I try to talk,

I am confused

because you ignore it and choke,

 this way I'm sure that I will stay bruised.

I am not looking for promise,

nor big romantic speech,

I am not looking for materials things,

nor romantic getaway to the beach.

Live for today, you said, 

Don't think to much ahead,

You should have told me this,

 before we went to bed.

I would like an honest answer,

I just want to know,

are you just having fun,

will you stay or go?

The solution is simple,

sometimes we don't get a second chance,

when we take people for granted,

it can be the final end of romance.

Lets bow to the bow tie ladies & gentlemen!

As I promised to the less fabulous gender, to make you a bit more fabulous, I will post one male post a week. 


Lets call this one a unisex post. :) Since I worked in Rugby RL I am in love with bow tie, as I was shown how it can be worn with so many different looks and make it more preppy/edgy or scholastic. 


I love wearing a bow tie with a white button up, black pencil skirt, yellow cardigan and some fierce heels and when I want to look really sharp, I add red lipstick and school teacher frames. Ouu yea :) You can also wear it as a necklace! Get inspired! Bow timeee!

So lets first teach you how to put one on (if visuals bellow don't help you,check out the video tutorial on the right :)

You are not a preppy type? No problem...Now, lets see how its done - street way! ;)

Or gentleman way or baby way....

Come on you all! Bust into your grandpa's closet & wear it your way!

Show me what you got by posting your photos on La Passion pour la fashion facebook wall!

Xoxo darlings!
