fashionista: A term used to define a woman with a
penchant for shopping and a natural flair for combining both current
and vintage fashionable trends.

In today's Urban society, "fashionista" is not by any means a negative term.
Thanks to television shows like "Sex and the City" rather more specifically,
thanks to actresses such as Sarah Jessica Parker, the image of a "fashionista"
has been modernized into a much more positive, powerful and
successful feminine role.

Forget the shallow, bitchy, materialistic image so many people
are quick to describe. The truth is, it's the new millenium and the
hottest trend right now, is that it's okay to be a woman again.

The "fashionista" doesn't look at her femininity as a gender flaw.
Where some may be quick to label her a bitch, others actually take
the time to get to know her eccentricities.

"Fashionista's" simply look at Fashion as an Art, their own bodies as the
canvas, and the sense of style they develop along the way is simply the
masterpiece.

True fashion ("true fashion" as in the clothes and not the stereotypically
thin supermodels that wear them) is simply an expression of identity and
the people who feel the need to argue that are usually the same people
who rarely see the positive in anything.

"Fashionista's" are extremely realistic when it comes to the world of
fashion, they're also very knowledgeable about the Fashion Arts.

A person's not automatically materialistic just because they buy a designer
suit or expensive jeans, it's often truer about "fashionista's" that they just
happen to know (what is called) a "good hand" in fashion. All that means
is that the person buying the item is aware of the "quality" of that item.
Buying good quality clothes, that sort of fashion, is not shallow. It's an
investment.

A fashionista thinks like this...

Why pay five dollars for say, a white non-label t-shirt when it's just going
to shrink or the hem's going to unravel or because it was only five dollars
you don't really care about throwing it into the wash with your reds? When
you can buy a say, a thirty dollar white CK t-shirt that's in all probability
going to last a little longer, won't unravel, and because it was thirty dollars
you'll actually care to read the "Care Tag" to see how you can better
protect your investment (wash in hot water, with like colours, and most
importantly HANG TO DRY)!

couture: From the french phrase "haute couture."

Unfortunately the "haute" part means "high" and the "couture" part means
having to do with fashion or sewing. This got mixed up in translation and
now "couture" is used to refer to high end or luxury things.

So next time you walk past a bakery offering "bagel couture"...
feel free to call them idiots, unless they actually sew their bagels.

limo heels: Shoes that are typically high heels, exorbitantly
expensive, and from couture designer brands that necessitate the wearer to
be driven around town less they get them dirty or have to walk very far.

Fashion magazine editors are often seen wearing their limo heels at fashion shows.
