Got style?

Do you have style?  I'm not talking just putting on pretty clothes, but true style.  A "swagger" if you will.  What is swagger?  Well, it's that essence that surrounds someone when they walk into a room.  They look cool, chic, and seem like they got it all together - swagger!  So, back to the original question, do you have style?  I'm going to hazard a guess and say yes.  Many of you may be snickering and thinking "yeah, right.  If I had style I wouldn't be subscribing to Daily Glam!".  Well, all I have to say to that is this - We all have a sense of style, it's just a matter of knowing how to make that sense of style a reality.  Here are our top 5 rules to creating a "insert your name" style.

1.  Comfort - You can't rock something you are not comfortable in.  I learned this the hard way.  My clothes are always comfortable but my shoes - Lord have mercy.  So, I had to learn, that if I wanted to look good, feel good, and have 'swagger' I had to invest in some nice, comfortable and trendy shoes.




2.  Mentor - We all need a mentor - no matter who we are!  We have mentors in our careers, some of us in our personal endeavors, so why not have a mentor for clothing?   Find someone or more than one person whose style/look, you love.  Then make it your own.  This person could be someone famous, it could be a program like Daily Glam, it could be anyone.  Mimic and make it your own.





3.  Makeup - Let me tell you one of my pet peeves.  A woman who is looking well put together and then doesn't wear any makeup.  It's like going to an elegant dinner party with beautiful crystal with spots all over.  You may think I'm being dramatic but I'm serious!  Even just a little powder, mascara and gloss can make all the difference.  If it's a matter of not knowing how to put on makeup - don't worry.  Contact us, we will be happy to help you.  



4.  Quality clothing - I have to say, I've worn really cheap clothes and really expensive clothes, and I have to admit, the expensive clothes helped me to walk just a little more swagger.  Ok, let me reword this, there are poor quality clothing and high quality clothing.  The high quality clothing wins every time.  Don't get me wrong, I do not invest a whole lot of money in my clothing.  I find sales - LOVE finding a great sale.  Love second hand stores too!  But I know what quality made clothing can do for you.  Trust me, it's worth it.





5.  Confidence - The most important ingredient to creating your own style.  You have to rock the confidence.  If you don't feel like you have it - FAKE IT TIL YOU MAKE IT.  I'm all about being genuine, don't get me wrong, but sometimes, you have to create that confident diva you know you are before you actually feel like that confident diva you know you are.  Get what I mean?  Sometimes, our feelings have to catch up with our decision.




I wish I could go on and on because truly, I could write a few pages on each of the above.  However, stats tell me that making this blog any longer will lose your attention SO if you have questions and want the answers, contact us at info@pinkinkimage.com.  Your question may be one of the questions we answer on the blog!!  Also, send us pics.  We love to see pics of you and your swagger!

Til next time,

Follow up Blog to the Bridal Show - A must read!!!

How many of you are married? How many of you spent your childhood working out in your mind the wedding of your dreams and thought you had it all figured out? The most exciting day of your life was when you got engaged, and you had the ring, and you chose the date, and you knew just what type of place you wanted to get married in, and so on and so forth.

Then you attended a bridal show.




What is a bridal show you ask? Let me tell you. It is a place where hundreds of vendors - specific to a wedding service - are gathered together in a room. The booths are decked out!! You would think you were at a wedding reception if you saw some of the booths. We had a beautiful one as well, designed by the talented Kay Habib of Skill Decor. Skill Decor specializes in home staging, yet Kay turned her talents to the Pink Booth to help us show the audience what an all encompassing experience it is to be a Pink Ink Bride.




So, was Pink Ink there? You betcha! And did we tell brides that Pink Ink would help them make their wedding day memorable? Yes, we did! Were we being honest? Absolutely!!! You see, through our years of working with brides and hearing what they want, we decided to create services specifically for the bride and her wedding party. All with the intention of making her life a little - well actually A LOT - easier.

From listening to our clients over the years, we understand that the "big day" has often been planned by the bride with the support of her friends, loved ones and/or an event planner. Pink Ink recognizes that in all of the hustle and bustle of planning the event, often times the bride spends a great deal of time trying to also ensuring her personal needs are met.



Pink Ink’s bridal services are specifically geared to help and support the bride, as well as the bridal party if you so choose, with everything necessary to bring the people and event together in style!
You’d hire an event planner to create a beautiful space wouldn’t you?  Now you can hire a Pink Ink stylist to help you plan and execute the more personal details that will make you truly shine!

And with our Pink Ink Preferred Network, Pink Ink Brides can also receive additional value and/or discounts from premium local businesses that can provide you the services you will need from now until your wedding day. 

Still not convinced?!?! Contact us today for a free phone consultation. We'll show you how Pink Ink can help turn the vision of you, and your entire bridal party, on your wedding day into a reality!

The latest hottest accessory - Zipsessory! LUV!!!!

We don't often focus on accessories, but it is necessary.  
We've told you that to make an outfit your own, or just different from how you usually wear it, changing the accessories is all you need to do!  
Well, check this out.  For those of you who don't know what a Zipsessory is, it is basically an accessory for your zippers.  
Yes, you read correctly, an accessory for your zippers!!!  



Ladies, you know all of the times you wish you had a partner or a roommate who could zip up the back of your dress because a) your arm isn't long enough or b) the zipper thingy is too short?  Well, Zipsessories helps with that problem AND makes you look stylish at the same time.  Brilliant right?






Shelley Bair, the creator and CEO of Zippsessory says that like many great and innovative products, Zipsessory was created by accident!  Shelley had purchased a pair of knee high boots and removed the price tag.  the plastic hoop remained on the boots after she took the price tag off.  When she did them up for the first time she found that it was much easier to pull up the boot zipper with the plastic loop.  However, the plastic loop was not all that "pretty" so she wondered if anyone made nice zipper pulls for zippers.  Her answer was "no".  So Shelley, being Shelley, decided to take matters into her own hands and Zipsessory Inc was born!  She created her own sophisticated, ingenious jewelry for zippers and this product eventually evolved into a whole product line of zipper jewelry.



Even your accessories can be accessorized!

Ladies, let me tell you how ANY BODY SHAPE, ANY HEIGHT, ANY COLOUR, ANYONE can wear a Zipsessory and look good!!!  I should also mention that 

a Zipsessory gift set will be in the swag bags of the 
2015 Golden Globes!!!  

Isn't that exciting!!!!  




Do you want one, or two, or three?  Shelley is not a Hollywood Star or living the glam life in Beverly Hills.  She's from Oakville, Ontario!  A mother of three and a pharmacist to boot!  So, check out her website, contact her and make an order.  Christmas is coming and she will custom make gift sets for you and your loved ones.  You can also go to Trend Trunk to check out the Zipsessory product line.



Even boys will love Zipsessory!!

I love when simple brilliance equates to glamorous!!  Woohoo!!!!
