Soul Couture Stationery

I absolutely adore stationery and there is something about receiving a hand written note card that makes my heart flutter. In this fast paced world of instant messages, e-cards, emails, social networking and crazy abbreviations we’ve gotten a tad bit out of touch with the human heart which make me wonder if we’ve lost it all together and have now adapted to this new way of life. Even our postal service is struggling to stay afloat because the sale of postage has gone down and it’s primarily due to technology. The family owned Hallmark in my neighborhood that had been in business for more than 20 years had to close its doors due to the decline in card sales. Technology can be both good and bad all at the same time.

When I started Soul Couture (formerly Trendy Tee’z) I use to send a hand written note to each and every one of my customers thanking them for their support. I would sometimes also include a blank note card asking them to use it to bless the life of another woman. There is something about a handwritten note in my opinion that gets the endorphins flowing which in my opinion is a natural healer.

I’m glad to announce that my Soul Couture stationery will be available for purchase in early March. Each one of my tee designs will have a corresponding piece of stationery that will be bundled together to create an assortment stationery.

Girly Girl

I'm a true girly girl. I love things like lace, ruffles, pretty skirts and sexy shoes. I've gained a few pounds over the years and believe it or not my self esteem has suffered a little. I don't feel as confident in my clothes as I use to. I've been participating in the biggest looser contest at work and I'm glad to announce I've loss 3 pounds. I know that may not sound like very much but for me it's a huge accomplishment. I only have about 15 more pounds to go and I'm going all the way.

Spring and summer is approaching and that means a lot of entertaining will be going on. Birthday parties, evening cocktails and just hanging with a few of my favorite girls. All of these outfits are so my style. Of course I put this together using Polyvore so the prices of some of these items are off the charts. I'm not a big department store shopper I tend to lean more towards boutiques but I sometimes find many of these looks at H&M, Forever 21, Target, Express and sometimes online.

Michelle Obama

I will be the first to admit that I don't have a true love for high fashion.  I do sometimes splurge on some over priced must haves but at the end of the day I'm a regular girl that earns an average salary and I'm always on the look out for a great bargain and usually H&M is one of my first stops.

Our first lady appeared on the Today Show this morning looking beautiful as ever in this polka-dot cutie from H&M that's available for $34.95. Although the yellow pump would not have been my shoe of choice I did think it added an extra splash of color. One of my biggest fashion pet peeves is being too matchy.

Have a wonderful day,

Soulfully yours,

Dy

A Symbol Of Strength

Never before has there been such a hairstyle as the afro! Encompassing all that is good about curly hair, the afro is a symbol of justice, equality and human rights. During the 1950s, the afro shone as a great beacon of hope for the oppressed and was the SOUL of the African American community.  The afro symbolize strength. 

My Natural Beauty Splash tee has remained my number one seller. To purchase please click here

Soul Sistah Pam Grier
