I actually didn’t know what a la mode meant until I saw the below scene from Little Miss Sunshine:
Of the fashion. Sometimes it’s hard to remember that fashion doesn’t just cover clothes. It extends to just about every area of life where we have a choice.

Your Home
To begin, it’s important to think about your home. In most places, there are some areas to live which are much more desirable than others, and it isn’t just because of their value. A place can become fashionable simply because people like the way buildings have been built or because of the local shopping in the area. This doesn’t mean that it’s easy to choose the right options for you, though, and you’ll have to move to take full advantage of this.
If you’re not prepared to move, you still have some options to help you along the way. Interior design is just like clothing, and the most popular styles and themes will change all the time, making it hard for a lot of people to stay on top. To avoid this sort of issue, using sites like Pinterest can give you a good idea of what is popular when you’re decorating. Don’t just consider the styles which are popular, though, as these might disappear very quickly; think about options which have been around for awhile, and don’t seem to be going anywhere.
Your Belongings
Getting your house in order is just one of the steps you can take towards a more fashion-oriented you. Along with this, though, a lot of people will like to think about their other possessions, too. A product like a car, for example, can easily be unfashionable, especially if it comes from the wrong manufacturer. Along with this, phones, computers, and other electronic devices can also be chosen with style in mind. It’s important to consider functionality at the same time with something like this. But, in most cases, the options available will all have the same capabilities.
Your Other Half
I got lucky in that my Kendall is keenly aware of his style, but I know that not all guys are into clothes and looking sharp as he is. (We actually got a sweet compliment from our wedding photographer about our style together.) By looking through this site and that, you will be able to gather loads of helpful resources as you’re styling your sweetie. Tip though: just because you like something doesn’t mean he will. Kendall will never wear a floral, and I just have to get over that because I don’t want to change him… I just want to shop for him!
Your Lifestyle
Finally, it’s time to think about the way that you live your life, along with some of the areas you shouldn’t change based on fashion. In recent years, one of the biggest fashion trends to hit the world has been fitness. Nowadays, more than ever, people want to be fit and healthy. Embracing trends like this is a great way to improve your life, while also doing something for your social standing. Of course, though, you shouldn’t do things simply because they’re fashionable, and there are loads of areas you should avoid following others in.
Politics is a great example of an area like this. In the modern world, social networks and other forms of media make it very easy to keep up with the world of politics. But, unfortunately, they can also make it a lot harder to know if you’re getting the facts. Along with politics, any other major life-changing decision should never be made based on other users of the internet. If you need to get your hands on information like this, it’s best to leave it to professionals to give it to you. Blogs are a great resource, and so are businesses working in the field you’re interested in.
Hopefully, this post inspires you to start working harder on fashion in all of the areas of your life. Not a lot of people look at fashion or trends in this way. Instead, they will only consider their clothing, ignoring some of the more important parts of life. Of course, though, fashion is for those that want it, and you only have to take it as far as you want to.
