On a Final Note

As some of you may have noticed, we haven’t been blogging much lately.

We started blogging back in 2004, when we began college. We wanted a simple girly website where we can share our thoughts on fashion with other fashion lovers. We finally settled on blogspot, because we were both technically challenged and it was easy. It was really exciting at first. We religiously stalked our blog and our heart would skip a beat whenever we get a comment. It gave us a warm and fuzzy feeling each time.

We just graduated last summer and since then, we’ve been struggling to carry our blog into the ‘real world’ with us. When you’re a student, you’re surrounded by inspirations and you have all the time in the world to take it in and read up on the latest styles and celebrity trends. In the real world, you get so caught up with life that you barely have time to stop and admire your surroundings and be inspired and excited by it. Now don’t get us wrong, we still love to drool over gorgeous dresses and new bags and debate over the merits of the latest trends- just not as often anymore. Blogging started to become a chore instead of something we loved doing. That was when we knew that it was time to move on, even though it took us a few months of thinking and debating with ourselves and each other to realize it, and another few months overcoming self denial to act on it. It’s not easy to give up something we’ve been doing for the last four years, knowing that once we stop, there is no going back.

A little over 4 years ago, we had no idea what blogs were, and we certainly didn’t know fashion blogs will become such a big phenomenon. We didn’t really know where we were heading when we started I am Fashion, but it became something we loved. We considered taking I am Fashion further, developing it into something bigger as so many other fashion blogs have done. But alas, as hard as we racked our brains, we couldn’t come up with a vision of where it can go. And so, we’ve decided that it was time to make a graceful exit and let I am Fashion go.

We’d like to thank all the readers who have stuck with us throughout the last four years. It was your comments, emails and continued presence that have kept us going for so long. We’d also like to thank our guest blogger E, who has helped us immensely in the last few months through this difficult transition period. It’s been an unexpectedly rewarding experience, which will always have a special place in our hearts.

Contrary to popular belief

HG and I did not get into a fight and decided to stop working together on I am Fashion and started our own blogs instead. (Even our mutual friends wondered about it!) We still email each other daily about the intricate details of our lives and random thoughts we have, and feel extremely empty when the other is away and has no access to the internet. When I freak out, she is the first person I call and she is still my maid of honor when I fantasize about my wedding. Our reasons for closing down I am Fashion still stands, though I do think that my later rationalization of it in this blog is a better articulation of how we feel. Dog Fashion

As for us continuing to blog even more regularly than before, I attribute it to the “newness” of our blogs. Starting a new blog is like starting a relationship. At the beginning everything is new and exciting as you get to know the other person and watch your relationship grow and mature. Every up and every down is a significant moment. Then the honeymoon phase eventually wears off and you reach a happy medium, where your relationship becomes a part of your daily life. With any luck, you will live happily ever after in this state with a few surprises here and there to spice up the norm. If not, your relationship will wane and you grow apart, eventually deciding that you are both better off parting ways.

Clearly I’m in the honeymoon phase. We are starting to explore new things together, trying to figure out what works best for the both of us. Every new post is an adventure. Every comment and email is exciting. I want to spend every moment of everyday with it, checking on its progress i.e. stalking the traffic, the incoming and outgoing links etc. It’s an exhilarating feeling that I’d almost forgotten about!

Analogy aside, it is heartwarming to read everyone’s encouraging comments and to know that we were able to leave a small footprint on some people’s lives. We appreciate your support and remember that we’ve not left the blogging world for good. Come visit us some time at our new blogs -(Find the links to our new blogs in the post below).

Tips for Choosing Your Wedding Hair Style

Each bride wants to look her most beautiful on her marriage day. Of course, this may be the most significant day of her life. This is where she and her groom will pronounce their promise of love for each before their family, kin and mates. This is so significant that even a particularly good-looking girl wants to look better, or something else from how she looks each day.

Choosing how you must look in a marriage can be terribly dodgy. If you weren’t counseled by a professional, this isn’t the time to try on new make up and haircut trends – unless you wished to end up as one with the worst marriage fashion. So, to be on the safe side, it’s better to enroll aid from a pro stylist to do your makeup and haircut.

these are some pointers that may help you on what look you’ll be having on your marriage day. * Select natural-looking makeup, as you do not want to look heavily painted particularly when folks come to intend you well. you need to also confirm that even if you’re wearing natural-looking makeup, this still looks well when your picture is taken. * Get a facial to help get rid of the stress in getting ready for the marriage and to clean your skin, in preparation for the day. * ensure that you have sufficient time to prepare your hair. Generally , you might need about 6 weeks before the wedding to make small changes to your hair. If you’ll be changing your haircut, hair color, or length, you’ll need up to half a year. * arrange an appointment with a hairstylist suggested by your friends and family, or with your own hairstylist.

It’s better to bring photos of the dress, headpiece and the haircuts that you want to try.

Also, discuss with the hairstylist what’s going to be the suitable color, texture and the style. * if you’re thinking about having your hair permed or relaxed, ask the hairstylist if she thinks this may not damage your hair. Damaged hair won’t look good and should be tough to style. If you wished to try this, ensure that you continue to have sufficient time to experiment and to undo it if it does not look good. * if you’re thinking about dyeing your hair, consider if the color will compliment your skin color and the color of your eyes.

It’s far better to ask the help and recommendations of a pro for this. * Your haircut should go well with the cut of your robe. If you have a straightforward robe, select a basic haircut. Select a haircut which will be cosy and won’t be tricky to maintain since you’ll have a large amount of things to look after on the marriage day.

* If you have short hair, you will add highlights to improve the richness. You can also have hair treatments or try products that may add shine. * If you’ve a long hair, it is advised that you wear your hair up for a chic look and to attenuate the need for maintaining it, since you’ll be busy all day. Now you have these tips, you’ve got more info when your hairstylist starts making recommendationson how to make you look good on your marriage day.
