10 things you must have to be stylish

If you think style can’t be bought, you totally haven’t seen Victoria Beckham lately!
Here’s some things you must have this season if you want to be fabulous:
1. Expensive shoes
Shoes totally make or break an outfit. Cheap ones spoil your whole fabulous ensemble, whereas expensive ones make anything look good. Especially if they’re Manolos.
2. Expensive bags
Vuitton bags are totally chic and classic and just show that you have the best, most classic taste. You’re really smart to buy them because they’re great investments — they’re never going to get any uglier!
3. Expensive, impractical dresses
Have you noticed how practically every new wunderkind designer makes fussy, hard-to-wear dresses? It’s because that’s what stylish people wear, so you should too.
4. Designer label everything
No designer label? Toss it. It can’t possibly be good.
5. Some fabulous vintage
No wardrobe is complete without some fabulous vintage. Not thrift-store vintage (ew! smelly), but real vintage: vintage Chanel, vintage Dior, vintage Balenciaga…
6. That thing Carrie wore on Sex and the City
Sarah Jessica Parker totally has personal style. If you want personal style, you should wear what she wears.
7. A huge makeup collection
Makeup makes you feel feminine and special, plus it hides all your imperfections. You absolutely get what you pay for, so make sure you buy the good stuff. Creme de la Mer will totally make you look 15 years younger. Start young and you might get to look like a toddler again!
8. Big stacks of magazines
If you don’t buy magazines, you’ll never know that military was totally over last month but is back in this month. At least according to Glamour. Vogue’s been saying it’s over all year.
So really, you just shouldn’t wear military, and if you didn’t buy magazines, you wouldn’t know that and would end up being totally out of fashion.
9. An eating disorder
You can never be too rich or too thin after all. Plus, if you die of anorexia, you’ll almost be as skinny as those fabulous African famine victims so you’ll look amazing in your coffin.
But remember, if anyone asks, you just have a fast metabolism and you eat junk food all the time.
10. A sense of humour…
…to laugh at all the ridiculous style advice out there.
Happy April Fools Day!

I started to get a sick feeling as I was reading this post and then quickly scrolled down to the bottom and saw that I sure as anything had been fooled!!
I love the sarcasm…personal style is exactly that: personal. So as much as people look to magazines and celebs for style direction, really and truly, without sounding too corny: it’s all about what you like and what makes YOU feel good. But great post!
Quite funny, if I hadn’t bumped into a few more on my feed reader before this I might have fell for it!
I was thinking ‘hang on, this doesn’t sound like BQ’
You definitely had me wondering for a minute. Good post! I’m adding it to my Weekend Pulse on 4/2 on the Pierce Mattie PR main blog–be sure to look for it!
fOOLED! And there i was reading, composing my rebuttal…..
Gotcha! :D
after reading the 3rd one I knew something was wrong so i scrolled down to see what was up..LOL.
Great April Fools Post! I started to fall for it too! I was thinking wait a minute, really? No Way! But I do have too many magazines that are calling for the recycling bin~
You had me there! I bought into #2…. and then I knew you must be kidding as I kept reading. Thanks for that April Fool’s joke!
*laugh!* I thought you were being serious for a while, and I was going to mercilessly slam you ( I have no tolerance for people who can’t think for themselves)- but it’s great since you’re joking! Woo!
Ooooh thank Goodness you have a sense of humour!
I was getting a little testy and fired up reading the Fashionsta List!
:-P
LOL
Good Work
Hi Moonstar!
I still laugh my butt off reading Sara’s list. She does have a great sense of humor. After all, she sometimes gets my jokes ; )
