Nina Garcia is our prime inspiration for coming up with this blog. We read her books, we see her views and we adopted the word she used so fashionably in the book "Style Strategy" - Recessionista!
Many people would really like the label "Fashionista", it brings about the air of always being in trend no matter what, always being the first to be wearing the top designer's clothes and having an empire of fashionable closet - but, in reality - can we all afford that - is it really worth it?
Is Fancy really the new Fashion trend?
Maybe not. The Resecessionista is the NEW Fashionista simply because we are current, relevant, fashionable, smart, savvy and we make a lot of people happy by advocating this!
You can find out more about Nina Garcia on http://www.ninagarcia.com/ , we LIVE by her books, I got on her "Style Strategy" - recommended by Erra and it's best book I've read in 5 years. It's funny how Fashion can also inspire your dreams! I'm currently finishing "The One Hundred", a more in-depth guide on the what-to-wear and how-to-wear and what you must have in your closet.
The cutest thing about Nina Garcia's books are the illustrations (you feel like a little girl again), and the famous quotes (by fashion giants like Marc Jacobs). You simply can't put it down. I think I have found my best friend :)
We will be giving tips here and there on this book FROM Nina Garcia's famous books, even from her twitter and facebook pages (she's got endless advice on looking good, feeling good and staying happy) - and we try our best to relate it to our lives, our background and the culture that makes us who we are :)
Always play by the rule: LESS IS MORE if you want to STAY CHIC and ...... SHOP SMART! : )
There's more to come!
Love,
Aira Natchiar
