Urban Fashion Vocab: Which do you like?
Sometimes when I can’t find the right word, I make up my own. According to my mom, I’ve done it since I was a kid. Though thinking back, I believe it was her that agged me on, for she was the one who taught me boys’ private parts were called ”pee pee ding dings”…no joke – my friends still make fun of me today! Sorry, a little TMI.
Anyway, I recently coined two new fashion terms which you may have already seen in my previous posts: fauxshionista and fashion-spiring. I’m probably not the only one in existance to ever scheme these up, but I am the only one who submitted them to Urban Dictionary…so consider them mine <evil laugh>…j/k.
If you like these words, click on them below (in pink) to give a thumbs-up at Urban Dictionary. You don’t have to register or anything, just click to vote.
Fauxshionista: 1. One who poses to know all there is to know about fashion; 2. a self-proclaimed fashionista with no real sense of personal style; 3. A serial style copycat who wouldn’t be able to get dressed without the latest issue of InStyle or Us Weekly. Use faux for short.
- EX: The sales associate at Nordstrom was such a fauxshionista!
- EX: All the fauxs are anxiously waiting to mimmick Carrie’s outfits from the Sex & the City movie.
Fashion-spiring: Anything related to fashion that inspires – a person, piece of art or outfit, to name a few (fashion + inspiring = fashion-spiring).
- EX: Chloe Sevigny’s fashion-spiring style has helped me take more risks with my wardrobe.
- EX: She stepped onto the red carpet in a fashion-spiring gown stealing the spotlight with camera flashes abound.
Here are a few other fun fashion terms from Urban Dictionary:
Fashionality: 1. one’s personality expressed in their clothing, ‘fashion personality’ 2. one’s nationality expressed in their clothing, ‘fashion nationality.
Fashionisto: The male version of a fashionista, some what of a metrosexual, alot of lables, alot of time spent in the hair studio, the “look” is everything.
Fashionate: One who is passionate about fashion, and keeps themselves ‘hip on the scene’ by continually updating their wardrobe to stay in step with the everchanging fashion world. these individuals are also able to comprise a hot outfit if given the right tools, no help required.
Which do you like??
Hey you!
Regarding the SIWY denim, I find that it does run true to size. However, some people have claimed that going a size up is better. So if you like a super skinny fit, then go for true to size, or if u like a lil more relaxed fit then go 1 size up. I can’t seem to find any S/S 08 styles online which is annoying coz I like the “marianne” ones.
Good luck and can’t wait to see u in ur Siwy! I have a facebook community called “Siwy Denim Wearers”, u shld join it! xoxo

I’m not a myth I swear lol! thanks again for the support girly.
fauxshionista I love it, I think I saw you use it on your website before. I still use a bunch of silly words that my mom use to say when I was younger too!
I hate people that think they know fashion but then dress like crap and they don’t even know it!
