In the minds of The Fashion Addicts: Is chivalry dead?


chiv⋅al⋅ry
Pronunciation [shiv-uh l-ree]


(1) the sum of the ideal qualifications of a knight, including courtesy, generosity, valor, and dexterity in arms (2) code of male ethics (3) gallant warriors or gentlemen



Check out this video and listen to Fonzworth Bentley’s opinion

Soooo now that we know what it means & have heard a few opinions, Ladies how do you feel about this topic? How many men have you dated that have opened your car door, pulled out your chair? We can’t speak for all men, but to find one who is still chivalrous is like finding a diamond in the ruff. Back in the day chivalry was a definite in a relationship. So what’s up with men these days? Maybe it isn’t important or maybe they just feel women don’t deserve it because we have such independent attitudes. Whatever the case is, it’s an interesting topic to discuss. So is it dead or just on life support? That is the question. Share your feelings.

The Jessica Simpson line of shoes has some really stylish looks that are usually in the $80 range. I have chose these metallic pumps that are reminiscent of the pewter pumps Miss Rih is rocking.

A little about me: I have so many interests it’s ridiculous! I don’t like to limit myself. I’m absolutely in love with FASHION! Especially expensive designers and labels I can’t afford at the moment. Designers I love include, but isn’t limited to Balmain, Stella McCartney, Christian Louboutin, Alexander Wang, Zac Posen, Herve Leger, Giuseppe Zanotti , BB Dakota, Betsey Johnson, Black Halo, Tracy Reese, Jimmy Choo, Yves Saint Laurent….I could list designers all day, but I won’t!

I love Lucky Magazine, Vogue, Teen Vogue, W, Harper’s Bazaar, Elle, In Style, Allure, Cosmopolitan, and Glamour. Words that inspire moi: LABELS and LOVE! A girl’s life is complete if you have these two along with a great family, friends, and a great man. I have a severe shoe fetish! I love any shoe that is cute and looks good on me. I am also currently developing a jewelry fetish. So we’ll see how that goes. I love bright nails. This is one of the hottest trends to hit the fashion world. I LOVE to travel. If I could have a show on the travel channel, I would jump on that A.S.A.P. I also LOVE to eat, even though I’m a very picky eater. I am very random and believe positivity should be a staple in everyone’s life. I love spending time with my family and my mom is the greatest. I also have great friends that everyone should be jealous of! =) My girls are the greatest. Look out for my posts and always share your opinion! Closed mouths don’t get fed!

Name: Tiffany

Major: Secondary Education

Position: Poor Girl’s Guide, Beauty Benefit’s, and Fashion Fit Fridays.
A little about me (interests): I am probably the tomboy of the group, not that I don’t like to keep it sexy, but you will definitely catch me in high tops and jeans most of the time. I love fitness and I think it is important to stay healthy and keep it sexy at any size. You don’t have to be a size 2, but if you are that’s great too! Being confident and working what you got is important! Each Friday we will be posting a mini video of moi’, doing simple, no gym required exercises to keep up your sexy!
I love to do make up and I plan on being a makeup artist as a side job until I blow up! I hope that everyone can benefit from the knowledge that I share and beauty products and tips, because sharing is caring! Yes I am corny, fun, and witty, and I love it!

Addiction(s): I am addicted to shopping, especially online shopping. I feel like you can find the best deals, and eliminate time, crowds, and the gas of driving to the mall. That’s why I will be bringing you the look for less with my Poor Girl’s Guide every week!

Career Goals: Eventually I will be a superintendent of public schools, or celebrity makeup artist, whichever comes first!






Name: Kayla

Major: Apparel Merchandising

Position: Trend Report and What Were They Thinking?

A little about me (interests): Out of all of us, I'd definitely say that I like to keep
it sexy, but classy of course! I think it is very important to be conscious of trends,
but not necessarily be a slave of them. Not every trend is for everyone; however, than
can make an outfit.

Addiction(s): I am addicted to shopping and hunting down sample sales! It's amazing what
you can find with a little research. My new addiction is branching outside of the college
trap (the mall) and finding new pieces to add to my collection.

Career Goals: After graduation I would like to work for a retail corporation in visual
merchandising or marketing and then later open my own boutique.









Name: Charlotte

Major: Apparel Merchandising

Minor: Business

Position: Stylista, Musicianista, Eye Candy of the Week, Fashion Advice, Designer/Stylist Spotlight

A little about me (interests): I’m the goofy one out of the addicts! Lol I am the one who can always guarantee a good laugh whenever it’s needed (sometimes even when it isn’t). If I had to describe my style I would say that I love try the new trends out to see how they work for me. I love short skirts and dresses but don’t be surprised if you see me in a pair of leggings and Nike blazers! I think fashion can’t be limited to a brief description because I don’t know what kind of look I may be going for that day.
I absolutely adore my girlies and would do anything for them. We are destined for greatness and must say that you guys are in for a ride…
Addiction(s): I am and always have been addicted to piecing outfits together and making things look fabulous… I am also addicted to music; being able to watch two worlds that I love collide has always excited me and I love how spontaneous some artists are these days (i.e. Keri Hilson, Rihanna, etc.).
Career goals: Upon graduation, I want to work for a magazine so that I can work as a stylist for the photo shoots. I ultimately strive to become a stylist to the stars! (June Ambrose Jr. hopefully) I would have reached an ultimate satisfaction once my career consists of both fashion and music.
