Personal Shopping Assistant Blog

International shopping day has finally arrived!

This year you officially promise yourself to get extremely productive and don't end up with ginormous pales of pointless purchases. To help you with those good intentions and avoid any temptations we busted three the most common myth about Black Friday. It now looks like a completely different layout of intense shopping.

"The best color in the whole world is the one that looks good on you" - these are the words of the most ispirational fashion figure of all times - Coco Chanel.

There is an explicit diferrence between colors you love and colors that love you, emphasizing that last ones may completely change the way you look, feel and even age. While some shades are naturally meant to be your "couples" and present yourself in the most favorable light, the other ones will destroy your look, adding years, flaws and undereye circles.

How to identify your very own color and find it a proper use ? 
Our fashion experts may have some unique secrets to share:)

Let's be honest - each time we see pictures of celebrities in their everyday life we have that tinsy bit of joy in our hearts. They wear sweatpants and loose shirts, have frizzy hair and look sleepy - just like real humans! Fuuh, that's a relief. 

But wait, then who are those people from all the red carpets and photoshoots, looking so absolutely flawless it actually hurts? Considering that identical robotic copies are illegal in pretty much every country, there's only one answer left - personal stylists.

At some point we all dreamt about having one, but quickly assumed that's impossible, considering that we earn a tiny bit less than a million dollars each month. 

But what if I'll tell you it is?

People love to come up with the rules.
Constantly, vividly, passionatly.

However, when the topic we keep in mind is shopping - there is nothing mandatory you have to do. But hold on before going all crazy - if you want to rock that outfit there definitely are some absolutely forbidden things. And by absolutely I mean completely forbidden.

They say when life gives you lemons, you should be smart enough to make a delicious refreshing lemonade out of those. But there are no instructions on what to do when life just forces you to forget your own needs for a while.

It's always hard to get back on the road after you haven't been driving for a long time or start working after a continuous vacation. Shopping is not an exception and, turns out, sometimes it's even harder to get back on track than we thought. What if you are alone, lost and frustrated in the middle of the huge store with no time or ideas about what you should get? 

Ultimately, the only thing that's left to do is rip off a bandaid.

We're used to them knitting the cutest sweaters and baking the best cookies. 
We're used to them complimenting our education achievements and complaining that we're not eating enough. 

We definitely are not used to them picking up pairs of jeans for us, making us try on one of those hats that "were so popular when she was our age" and forcing us to buy the bale of warm cloth, although it's spring outside.

So what happens when your grandma indeed decides to become your very own kind of fashion expert?

It doesen't really matter whether it's your dad who takes you shopping or the other way around - the outcome is going to be pretty similar.

They are absolutely the best at Sunday baseball games, wise advices and ordering pizza.Their relationship with shopping, fashion and style is not going  too well, though. We were able to identify two kinds of our dad's behaviors during mutual shopping trips and figure out a few ways to deal with those.

Because, you know how they say you can tell what was the best year of your father's life, because they seem to freeze that clothing style and ride it out:)

It seems like you've got the main procedure down to basics. 

Going to the store, buying cloth, putting on a hanger and into the wardrobe. But, for some reasons, when it comes to actually wearing you recent purchases you suddenly start questioning your sense of style, self-sufficiency and even sight, because there's is absolutely no way you are going to put that on. That's when the topical issue of most women all over the world is brought up: why there's always nothing to wear?

Why there's always not enough time to really dig into the whole process or nobody around to give you a decent fashion advice?

And finally: how to figure out a solution and don't let constant hesitation being a choice?
