This week Beyonce talked to People magazine about an array of topics in her life. What we're most
concerned about however, are her distinctiveheels flats. Since giving birth to Blue Ivy, the new mommy
has been seen with some very nice eye catching flats. From cat shaped leopard prints to shoes that don a
strap around the ankle, flats are definitely becoming a staple in her closet. In an article that is on stands
now, Beyonce tells people magazine "I never thought there would be a day when I wouldn't wear heels.
Now that I have a child, I walk around holding her all day, I'm buying loafers and oxfords. I love them,
because they're comfortable and shorter heels too." While wearing flats might be a new experience for
Bey, other women such as Gwen Stefani and Ciara (another avid heel wear-er) have usually always
made flats an exceptional part of their style. With summer here, (so excited for it by the way) now is the
perfect time to make flats a comfortable part of yourown style and get creative about how you want to add
them into your wardrobe. Depending on how you wear them they can be just as feminine as your favorite pair of heels.

The Girlfriend's Guide: How To Stay Up When Life Get’s You Down.
I believe that style is not achieved by simply having your own individual sense of fashion. There are other components that all add up to equal style. Always remaining inspired is one of them. Essence.com has an article that offers advice for us girls on how to stay inspired, focused and optimisitic even in the toughest of times. Here are tips that they gave written by @DeeCMarshal:
BREATHE: It sounds simple but I promise you one big deep breath in and out will help you. We know the impossible happens in a breath. Every girlfriend reading this right now knows it was one breath that helped you get through the pain of pushing a 6, 7, or 9 pound baby through your birth canal. If you haven’t had that experience yet, know that there was one breath that created man. My point is if you don't breathe you may go down immediately but when you are intentional about breathing you proactively guide your emotion.
PRAY: It is universal no matter what your faith or spiritual beliefs are. When you get the bad news I say remember what you were taught to do in a fire: drop to your knees, turn to your source, lean on the source and depend on your source for strength and comfort. Cling to your source. It is the place you turn to first and remember there is a source that is more powerful than you.
TAKE A STAND: This is about making a choice. When you get a “gut punch” make up in your mind where you stand and what you believe the outcome to be. You have the freedom to choose your position and speak to the situation. If it’s illness you come up against, believe and speak healing. If it’s divorce, believe and speak reconciliation. If it’s job loss, believe and speak promotion. If it’s overwhelming financial loss or lack, believe and speak of your increase in your life. During that first conversation with my mother, I declared our united position out loud. We choose to believe in healing, wellness and long life for my Godmother.
DON'T CARRY IT ALONE: It goes without saying for some of us but I’ll say what we already know— there is comfort in sharing your moment of despair with a trusted girlfriend. Don’t suffer in silence. Share whatever it is you are going through with your confidant.
STAY POSITIVE: While I don’t know the medical benefit, I certainly am a witness that a turnaround is possible just by being optimistic in your time of trouble. This is about choice; you can choose which colored lenses you wear in your situation. I recommend you choose the rose colored glassed because it is that energy to cause vibrations to tap a positive frequency in the earth. Whatever you put out to the universe comes back. It is the law of attraction that says thoughts become things. If you think positive you will attract back positive.
LOVE
WOWStyles.
