Now to the very day of the book signing event 9-12-2018, this was my first book signing event, I was nervous which I guess was normal. I did not know if my friends and fans would show up cos it was raining yes you heard me right it was a raining day but as luck would have it the rain stopped before noon, can I get a Hallelujah for that.
The good news is that the location I choose was a very beautiful  café called Chez Laurant, Arthur Scheirisstraat 13 in Zottegem.
I choose this venue because it was cozy with good atmosphere and attitude. The hospitality was also super. It was a perfect location for my book signing  event.

One of my photographers came from Holland to cover the event with this I say thanks to Martin Photography.

As you know the event was 14.00 hour Europeans time but I decided to do a mini shoot before my guess arrived.
At 15.00 hour all my guest had arrived, and they got welcome with a glass of champagne and a signed copy of Style and Concept by Rita Roland Volume 1 and 2.
It was an amazing experience for me and I enjoyed every moment of it, so did my friends and Fans.

After the event which was 19.00 I went with my friends for dinner at Volpe an Italian restaurant in Zottegem.

We had fun the whole day that is why me and my team decided to use this opportunity to say a big thank you to everybody who made that day a success.

She is a woman from African descent, who loves to travel. She has traveled around the World, and she is fascinated by the retro look. Despite the advancement of modern culture and technology, she feels that the beauty of the retro look should not be underestimated.
She says when going for the retro look that color is very important.

As she is a woman who loves colors she gravitated to the color blue which is associated with depth and stability, the color blue goes further to symbolize trust, loyalty, confidences and intelligence, that is why it is a popular color among big companies, hospitals and airlines.

Since blue is the natural color for water and sky, it has a very calming effect on the human psyche, that is why the styling is effortless. For this outfit you have to keep the accessories minimal because the dress already scream glamour, sophistication and elegance.

LE BERGER HOTEL BRUSSEL

Le berger is a very lovely hotel in the center of Brussel with a historical art deco. It is 300m from the metro station so it is very easy accessible with public transport.

There is an Italian restuarant and bar.

For this shoot we wanted to go back in time to see how the people from this era lived and the economic situation.

THE 1930 ECONOMY CRASH FANTASY BOOM

The depression of the 30s did not affect everyone the same way. Many rich people felt no impact at all, and were blind for the suffering of others.

The 30s were the beginning of the ready to wear fashion age. During the 1930s great depression companies started researching and implementing cheaper means of clothing manufacturing.

Clothing style were less extravagant, but the shapes of these dresses were designed to show off a woman most feminine features- most of the dresses were either slightly gathered or pleated.

The ideal 30s woman was tall and slender with a very small waist and narrow hips. Since most women were not blessed with slim hips and a small waist, shoulders were exaggerated with puff sleeves.

Ready to wear became popular because clothing could be mass produced .During this era the zipper became a standard in the finishing of garments because they cost less than buttons.

A woman would not wear her house dress out of the house, to shop, run errands. she would need a smart afternoon or day dress.

Characteristic of fashion in the 30s

  • shoulder pads were frequently used to broaden and square the shoulder of dresses
  • For women in business a well tailored suit was a must
  • Silky dresses became more popular
  • Empire waisted lines which were tied in the back were popular
  • Women usually wore gloves outside the house. The gloves would be worn to match their shoes and handbags
  • Makeup such as rouge and lipstick was frequently used to brighten pale faces
  • Women tended to keep their hair fairly short
  • Artificial eyelashes were popular
  • Wool, silk and cotton were the most popular fabrics for women’s’ fashion

Being on a tight budget was no excuse for sloppy fashion. It was considered a woman’s duty to shop smart.

Women who could feed and dress her family on a dime were praised. They were considered a good steward of the husbands money.

FABULOUS SINGLE LIFE Sponsored post

Rita Roland --6

Single women should not just sit and wait for Mr right, they should use that time of their life to rediscover themselves, and do things that make them happy.

Don’t forget dressing gorgeous is a must never reduce your worth to make somebody else feel comfortable. Live your life to the fullest.

Complement yourself and reward yourself, it is all about self-love.

Go for dinner, go to the cinema, seek a whole life don’t wait for somebody to do it for you or with you. Stop being frustrated about your life do the things you love and guard your heart, most people heart is broken because they did not guard it.

Keep your heart from been carried away by ghost. Don’t beg somebody not to hurt you rather guard your heart and give it only to somebody who deserves you.

Do things that are interesting, try something new. Life is too pressure to just be waiting.
Avoid people who don’t allow you to be yourself or those who silence your personality.

Live and budget within your means so that you don’t need somebody to help you. Cos when you are in need this will affect your happiness, personality and thinking.

It will also make you to make poor decisions, don’t allow dollars, or euros to control your decisions. Don’t look for a messiah to get you out of trouble but make intelligent decisions. Do things for your mental and physical well been.

Dress up beautiful  you dont need a date before you dress up  dress for yourself. I decided to try something new, I went for cruising lessons it was a very nice experience and had also made me confront my fear for water and took shoot amazing pictures.

It was a very good exercise for my mental wellness.
