New features, New Fashom!

on December 14, 2017

Fashom started with the idea of sharing every-day-style and celebrating body positivity and self-love. We have offered a social platform that allows users to share their daily looks, comment on them, tag brands, and like them. During this journey, we gathered a global community of over 100,000 fashion enthusiasts.

We had recently introduced our peer-peer styling feature where anyone could become a style adviser. But now we are ready to take us to the next step.

Fashom now offers styled outfits for your budget and personality!

Fashom’s team is very excited to present this new offering to our audience in the US, where one of our professional stylists will curate 2 outfits for you based on your preferences. Unlike other platforms, Fashom offers a selection of items (10-12) on the app that you would want us to ship. You keep what you want and shipping & returns are free!

Loving it, aren’t we? We have spent several months on getting ethical, trendy and budget-friendly clothing, shoes and accessories. As an introductory offer styling is at no cost to you.

Fashion says “me too” style says “only me”

on December 5, 2017

We believe that your body is a great gift that you should care about and show that you love it. Amazing outfits not only show your beauty and express your personality.

Such representation of culture and personality is displayed by ‘Asmaa Elamrousy’ who is a Community Engagement Coordinator for an NGO that is called the Muslim American Leadership Alliance (MALA), which dedicated to promoting diversity, leadership and celebrating Muslim American heritage through storytelling.

Asmaa told us about her different styles of dressing depending on the environment. For a normal workday at MALA, she tends to rock comfy shoes, blazers, dress shirts, long vests and flattering bootcut pants. But her personal style preference is to wear statement accessories, heels, embellished jackets, sparkly/sequin dresses, leather jackets and hats for her artist’s lifestyle.

In this photoshoot, Asmaa is dressed in a burgundy dree top with navy blue bootcut pants, she wore burgundy half boots and put on a navy blue hijab scarf that matches with the clothing colors. She chose to wear a grey bag to add contrast to her outfit, in addition to a long necklace with a cute squared pendant.

Stayed tuned to know more about how Fashom is styling with a personal touch.

Style is something each of us already has, all we need to do is find it.

on November 29, 2017

Fashom’s story began when we found that all fashion apps were flooded with photoshopped images. As a mission, we created a family of Fashom users who believe in being themselves in front of the camera. We are now ready to take the next step.

We don’t believe in changing anyone, we want to help you look the best version of you. Very soon, Fashom will offer brand new styling features but you have to wait for it:).

A couple of weeks ago, we invited some members of the Fashom family in New York City to showcase our new features.

Kerlon Francis works as an IT Analyst and is also a business owner of an e-commerce store “Kay The Shoeist”.

She told us that she loves her shoes and for a day to day outfit she would match it with a statement necklace. Being busy as an IT professional, it often poses challenges to manage time. That’s where Fashom wants to help all those busy women to bring their best out to the world.

Kelorn’s style is poise and bold in those wide-legged trousers, striped top with a statement necklace and high heels.

We believe you don’t have to change anything about you, you are beautiful just the way you are. You are probably as excited as us to see what’s coming next, but all good things come at the right time! Stay tuned…

Style Tips for Tall Ladies

on November 22, 2017

Being tall is not an obstacle to look fashionable. In fact, it gives you the opportunity to try on different styles that others who are shorter than you can’t. All what you have to do is to play it smart.

Here you are some tips that we think will make you look more beautiful than you are:

Love your height. It is what make you unique and special and you should be proud of it.

Try everything on: when it comes to clothes and shopping you should try everything. Don’t say it might not look good on me, first try it and I promise you that you will be surprised.

Don’t be scared of heels & wear beautiful pair of shoes: Believe it or not, first thing that people will do is to look at your shoes. They want to see how tall is your heels. So don’t make them see that you are wearing ugly shoes. And don’t be scared of wearing heels. Actually heels give you more self confidence and make you look sexy. Also look at all the tall models who wear heels on a daily basis. So don’t listen to anyone who tells you not to wear heels because you are tall, it’s all about you and what you really want.

Shopping online: You should know your measurement. Some of the models on the online stores aren’t that tall as they look so you should know your measurements and compare it with the model measurements, that are usually provided online, to know if the clothes will fit you or not before purchasing them.

Say hello to jumpsuits and high waist pants: Jumpsuits and tall lady make the perfect combination. Also the high waist pants will look gorgeous on you.

Shop brands and collections that are designed for tall ladies: Most of brands do that now, they make a special collection for tall ladies. You can shop from them and that will make the shopping process much easier for you.

Choose a tall celebrity: one last tip is to choose a tall celebrity and try to follow her and look at her clothes and outfit styles. Celebrities like to look stunning so they go to fashion designers and professional people to dress them. So it will be very helpful for a tall lady to see what is new in the fashion world for her through those celebrities.

Sustainable Women’s Beauty Brands

on November 22, 2017

Green brands are officially making a name for themselves in the beauty industry. Organic and natural beauty brands have officially opened the doors for environmental lovers who want to use skin-care and cosmetic products that are sustainable and conscientious to our environment. Below we have compiled a list of three individual brands that use natural/organic chemicals to produce their cosmetics and skin-care lines. These brands also refuse to test their products on animals.

AVEDA

BASED IN | USA

PRODUCT RANGE | Hair, Makeup and Tea products

PRICE RANGE | $$-$$$

Aveda’s brand is based on the combination of wellness, beauty, and plant aromalogy. This company is phenomly known for their organic and natural hair products, but they have also branched out and crafted their own makeup and tea brand. Aveda is considered 90% organic and does NOT test their products on animals.

BURT’S BEES

BASED IN | USA

PRODUCT RANGE | Makeup and Skin-care products

PRICE RANGE | $$-$$$

Burt’s Bee two main ingredients in their products are beeswax and willow bark, which immediately goes to show their commitment to using organic and natural chemicals in their makeup and skin-care products.

TARTE COSMETIC

Dressing in Public

on November 12, 2017

Have you ever thought why women wear dresses and men wear suits? Why it is not the opposite. Why people see it is normal for women to wear pants, trousers, suits and even ties, but it is not that common for men to wear dresses and high heels. Why society changes only for women when it comes to clothes but it is hard to change for men. Who put these rules!

I think that the answer is social acceptance. Humans always find it hard to accept what is different. In many cases, they can deal with it but can not accept it that easily. They will always be afraid of what is new and different. Most philosophers stated it that people hate change they like everything to be the same. That’s why people at the beginning of every new and different idea or phenomena they start to fight it and hate it but with time they start to adapt it and accept it. History shows many of these examples.

When it comes to dressing and choosing what people wear in public, they only want to choose the things that will make them fit in the small community that they are entering. That’s why you will find a great pressure on a new student, for example, who are new to a school. They normally take too much time to choose what they will wear and if what they wear will make them look amazing in order to be easy for them to fit in the new school.

Also when someone starts a new job he/she will take time to find the good attire that will fit with the company culture and he/she will ask a lot about the dress code of the company in order to look like everyone else in the company.

Dressing like everyone makes people feel comfortable, but what about what you really want to wear. What if you want to wear a jeans and shirt and just to make your hair a ponytail and go out to a party, why we should dress up and wear our best clothes. Is it because of people acceptance or because we are afraid of what will people say.

I remember one time I was in New York City and having a walk with my friends and saw a man wearing a pink bikini and riding a pink bicycle. At the beginning, I found it was awkward but when I saw him again later, I was very happy and admired his courage. He didn’t care about what will people say, he cared only about what will make him happy.

The problem with us is that we are scared from other and from what they will think and say about us. But do you know what? LET THEM THINK! The most important thing in this life is to be happy.

Life is too short and we have to please ourselves and not to focus on what people say or think. And believe me, people will not leave their life and their problems to only think about what you are wearing they will look at you just for a second and then will ignore you and ignore what you are doing. Just be happy with what you are and what you are wearing this is what really matters.

From Day to Night Outfits in Seconds

on November 8, 2017

Ladies, we’ve all been in that unbearable position where we’re rushing home from work in order to put together a sassy ensemble for the night. By the time you’re finished throwing an outfit together and your shoes on, it’s time to run out of the door and begin your night. Well, Fashom has a solution for this unbearable common struggle that all ladies seem to share.

We understand how frustrating it can be to constantly be in a rush after work so Fashom would like to help with a few style tips. It can be daunting when you try to spice up a dull outfit, so below we’ve listed three styles that we feel are most versatile. These outfits require minimal effort to transform your look from day to night in seconds.

The JUMPSUIT

There’s just something that’s captivating about jumpsuit. Choose a chic, but not too flashy style and watch the wonders you can do. Start your day off in a jumpsuit with a pair of flats and throw a flashy pair of pumps in your bag for later. When it’s time to go out for the night, throw on those heels, accessories, and you’re ready for the night!

The WIDE-LEG PANTS

Wide-leg pants are always a great choice if you’re in need of a versatile look for the day. Choose a pair that is sleek and chic and you’ll be able to transform your outfit from sophisticated to sassy, fierce, and seductive in minutes. Watch the heads turn as you walk by!

The BLAZER

Now I know blazer can seem simple and casual, but you’d be amazed at how versatile it actually is. Take a few notes from fashion icon Rihanna and celebrity “it” girl Kim Kardashian and turns your blazer into spicy nighttime get up.

Do you believe what you see!!!

on November 5, 2017

We are surrounded by photos of beautiful models. We see them in T.V., magazines, internet, and even in streets. But have you ever thought about all these amazing photos? Do you think they are real and they weren’t edited to be more attractive? Two models decided to uncover the truth about these photos.

These two amazing plus size models – Diana Sirokai and Callie Thorpe – decided to work with the professional photographer ‘Karizza’, he took some photos for them and edited them by Photoshop. They said that they looked amazing in both photos, however, their experiment showed that what we see in magazines are not real. These extreme editing made people believe that they have something wrong with their bodies as most of the time they can not reach the idea of perfection that is showed by magazines.

These images of beauty and body perfection that media is trying to implement in our minds may hurt women that feel insecure about their bodies. I remember a campaign that I once saw on social media about the effect of media on young girls. They represented the campaign by a photo of a very young girl that has a magazine opened on a photo of a skinny model and the young girl was holding a pair of scissors in her hand and was trying to cut a part of her belly so as to look like the magazine model.

We at Fashom believe that what Diana and Callie did is amazing, they wanted to tell every girl not to be ashamed of her body and to love it. It’s the only body that you have and you have to love it and take care of it and to stop thinking about the beautiful image that we see in magazines, as most of the time these photos are not real. We know that you look gorgeous as you are and we appreciate the natural beauty that’s why we created an app that will help you in showing your beauty. You can download our app and follow us on our website and social media and show the whole world your real beauty.

For the love of Culry Hair

on October 30, 2017

Two days ago a friend on Facebook added me to a group that gives some tips on how to take care of the curly hair. I loved the idea of the group. Most of the members of the group started to share their stories and struggle with curly hair and with how some people were very cruel toward them because of their hair.

Some societies put standards for hair and how it should be in order to be beautiful. One of the members shared her story about how she was bullied by people because of her curls starting from her mother, father, and siblings till her friends and her school. She said that she used to be ashamed of her hair and she used to straighten it all the time in order to fit in. When she finished her high school she got cancer and she was so scared of losing her hair. She said, ” being a girl with a curly hair was a nightmare, but imagining being bold is a horror movie”. When she shared her fears with family and friends they told her it’s not a big deal as her hair is bad anyway so losing it doesn’t cause a problem.

This cruelty made her feel insecure for so long then she decided that she will overcome that. She started to be better and heal from cancer and started to take care of her hair. She said, “I decided to be myself and love my hair, no more straitening my hair, no more letting anyone to makesme feel less of myself”.

We at Fashom wants to tell every girl that has a curly hair that curly hair is amazing and you should love it and be proud of it. Don’t let anyone makes you feel bad or that you have a problem. Those kind of people have a problem with their way of thinking and with their understanding of beauty. And we can help you at Fashom to have the amazing look that can match with your curls. Follow us and you will find creative tips that will help you in showing your beauty.

Fashom now offers styled outfits for your budget and personality!
