SIOS - Abstract Painting Party

I'm back at Strong is Our Sexy talking about how to bring some fun to your walls, as well as your day, with a painting party! 

When it comes to decorating your space, you want make sure to include lots of personality.
YOU ARE UNIQUE, and your home should reflect that!

Custom art is a fun and inexpensive way to brighten up your walls, and really let your style shine. Now some of you may be intimidated by the thought of making “art”, but I’m not talking about recreating a flawless rendition of Monet’s Water Lilies. Art is anything you want it to be! If it holds meaning to you, and makes you happy whenever YOU look at it, it’s perfect.


If you’re still not warming up to the idea of painting something by yourself, get your favorite ladies together, pop some bubbly, and have a PAINTING PARTY! Doing something new and intimidating, while surrounded by your friends, somehow makes things SO MUCH easier.  Am I right!? 

Visit Strong is Our Sexy for the full instructions on how to make this abstract piece!

SIOS - Chambray My Way

Playing some Strong is Our Sexy catch up before the weekend! Check out my article about how you can dress that wardrobe staple; the chambray shirt. 

Fall is here, people!
The beautiful trees with now amber leaves are a sure sign that it is, in fact, autumn. This time of the year is hands down my favorite. Nothing beats holding a warm beverage in your hand, crunching leaves under your boots, keeping cozy with a big scarf—safe from the crisp air—while picking out the perfect pumpkin (and hoping that said pumpkin doesn't get smashed in the street by the annoying group of boys who live on your block).
Heaven.
OK, so the pumpkin-smashing isn't so great, but there really is something special about the change of season, and the perfect balance it brings between a blistering summer and frigid winter.
The fashion that follows is also a reason why I am such a fall fanatic. Give me riding boots, chunky sweaters, and a color pallet that matches those gorgeous leaves I mentioned. One piece that I think should be in everyone’s fall fashion collection is the chambray shirt. This shirt is so versatile; it can go from casual to professional with just a few swapped accessories, and is great for layering on days that start out chilly, but end a little warmer.


To give you some inspiration, I've created a little fashion show to demonstrate how you can wear this classic piece all season long. 

(Please excuse my awkward poses. A propped up iPhone just doesn't give you the direction you need to be a successful model...psssh!)
