The Park Avenue Princess (The Style Series)

The Park Avenue Princess

The Park Avenue Princess by TheLoveLab

Some men don’t need to bring home the bacon to mate and some women don’t need to cook it. Here is a compilation from The Style Series called The Park Avenue Princess. She wears flowing dresses, high heels, and fine jewelry that is probably acquired through her daddy’s fortune. Her furniture is regal and so is her attitude. She makes the perfect trophy wife and will woo you with her charm if she thinks you’re worthy. But beware, if cocktail parties and charity balls aren’t your thing, you might  be put off by the way she feels entitled to just about everything.

The Free Spirit (The Style Series)

The Free Spirit

The Free Spirit by TheLoveLab on Polyvore.com

As the first male installment of The Style Series, we bring to you The Free Spirit. This is a laid back, cool cat who smooth talks his way into your heart. He sometimes forgets to call because he is so wrapped up in his world of art, philosophy, and relaxation. However, he makes up for his fickle behavior with his boyish good looks and wit.

The Romantic (The Style Series)

The Romantic

A big part of what initially attracts a man to a woman is her visual appearance. And let’s face it, us females won’t say no to a nice specimen…if one was handed to us all strings attached.  Therefore, I’d like to dedicate certain posts to looking great and so was born The Style Series. In this first example, here is a compilation for a girly girl. I call this ensemble The Romantic. I just discovered Polyvore.com and I couldn’t resist :) .  I will make one for the boys soon as well!

DEALING WITH REJECTION, part I

Dealing with rejection in a healthy way is a sizable mental feat. It takes years for people to master this and find positivity in rejection. Ultimately, the goal is to see failure as feedback in order to improve your strategies or to understand yourself and others. Rejection can catapult people into depression and make them nonfunctional and self-destructive. So it is important to learn how to buffer yourself against rejection and to have a healthy outlook which will make you resilient in life and love.

NOT ATTACHING YOURSELF TO AN OUTCOME FROM THE BEGINNING

This is a very powerful concept. This does not mean that you are indifferent to the impact a person has on you nor does it mean that you are closed off from love or from the risks associated when allowing yourself to be vulnerable with another. It means that you are open to love in general and not focusing on creating that with someone who is not open to love or is not open to loving YOU. It is a libertarian concept at heart (see post on Libertarian Love) since it means that you are not wishing an outcome for a person that they may not want for themselves. It is about going into relationships, courtship, and dating situations with the knowledge that the person may not feel about you the same way you feel about them and respecting this and not taking it personally. If you have this mindset from the beginning, you will be able to accept and understand that rejection is sometimes a blessing because on some level that person was honest enough with themselves and you to address some sort of incompatibility.
