THE CLOSET: COLOR ME FLY!

BALLERZ & SHOT CALLERZ

Reprising their Sister Slam Show in the Wimbledon final after a five-year hiatus, Venus and Serena smacked big serves, hit hard strokes from all angles and chased down seemingly unreachable balls, like no one else does. Overcoming an early deficit, Venus beat Serena 7-5, 6-4 Saturday for her second consecutive title at the All England Club and seventh major championship overall. "I'm definitely more in tune with my sister's feelings because one of us has to win and one of us has to lose," the No. 7-seeded Venus said. "You could never detract from winning a Wimbledon, so of course it doesn't detract from that. But I'm definitely thinking about how my sister's feeling." No. 6 Serena, meanwhile, was sullen as could be afterward, as though she had just finished losing to a stranger. Which, it turns out, was the way she tried to view Venus. That the champion's trophy stayed in the family did not ease the pain of defeat."It's definitely not any easier," Serena said. "I just look at her as another opponent at the end of the day." Said their mother and coach, Oracene Price: "Well, you know, she's going to have to learn how to suck things up. Say, 'OK, I'm not going to win everything.'"

DO YOU USE YOUR 'GIFT OF FEAR?'

(Oprah.com) -- If you heard there was a weapon proven to prevent most crimes before they happen, would you run out and buy it? World-renowned security expert Gavin de Becker says this weapon exists, but you already have it. He calls it "the gift of fear." One chapter in Gavin's book "The Gift of Fear" has stuck with Oprah since she first read it. The story of a woman named Kelly begins with a simple warning sign. A man offers to help carry her groceries into her apartment -- and instantly, Kelly doesn't like the sound of his voice. Kelly goes against her gut and lets him help her -- and in doing so, she lets a rapist into her home. "We get a signal prior to violence," Gavin says. "There are preincident indicators. Things that happen before violence occurs." Gavin says that unlike any other living creature, humans will sense danger yet still walk right into it. Gavin says that "eerie feeling" is exactly what he wants women to pay attention to. "We're trying to analyze the warning signs," he says. "And what I really want to teach today and forever is the feeling is the warning sign. All the other stuff is our explanation for the feeling. Why it was this, why it was that. The feeling itself is the warning sign."

THE CLOSET: COLOR ME FLY!

Posted by THE fly GIRL at 12:54 PM

This is for all of you 80’s BABIES! This theme for this Spring it in:

COLOR ME FLY!

You remember all the bold, bright pinks, blues, yellow and greens? Well guess what babies, they’re back and the cuts are fierce and feminine. So get out your notepad, iPhone, or get ready to right click and save cause we’re showing you what you MUST rock this spring. Why? Cause we’re fly and we want you to be too!

THE FITS!

To all my FLY MAMA’S, this spring celebrate your femininity and your body with very flirty, feminine cuts! Try some new shape/length combos: A shapeless coat that exposes the legs, or a great halter (MY fav!) or the hottest cut out right now, the bubble dress!

THE KICKS!

So we already know from previous posts that it’s time to put away the boots and sneaks, right? Right.

So for spring don’t be afraid to go DRAMATIC! Have fun with your shoes. If you choose a bright matte color, try a bold printed heel. And good news, straps are back. And of course wedges are ALWAYS hot.

THE ARM CANDY

And of course what’s the use of a bangin’ fit without a FLY bag?

So maybe you don’t have the heart or the hips to rock a bold color…Not to worry, you too can get in on the latest trend by spicing up basic black with a bright bag.

And the good thing is, this season bags are as versatile as the women who rock them: big, small, clutches to hobos, bright to metallic, there’s something for everyone.
