HELLO! ... FROM CYNDI
If you only knew how excited I was to get to this month--for several different reasons! For one, it is the official launch and kick off of SUMMER! Now, while I am an avid fan of the Winter Season, as well (thanks to Christmas), summer is on an equal plane, and further more it’s my birth-month, not to mention Fathers’ Day! This month’s issue was an electric one for me to put my hands to-and as you read through the pages, you may understand why! Do you happen to remember that precious (and somewhat recently engaged) couple, Cassidy & Hayden? If you even read any of their cute love story at all (February’s love issue), you would have fallen in love with them like the rest of us! This month, I’m ecstatic to share that beautiful Cassidy has graced us as Fashioned’s Cover Girl for the June issue! Sharing in the her wedding-day-must-have’s, you will be encouraged to go out and do the same, even if you don’t have a wedding day approaching (and if you do, then it’s double the treat)! Fashion isn’t all we celebrate! It is our joy to showcase strong women who not only have something to say (really, who doesn’t), but women who really put themselves out there, regardless of the opinions of man, not fearing what others might say or think. She’s that girl. For this reason we were ecstatic to highlight a hip, young woman who is as bold and courageous, as she is beautiful--Stephanie Singer! Being real and raw with our readers, her honesty is so beautifully captured as she openly shares about her story about leaving the LGBTQ life to pursue a new kind of love -- this will be an article you will want to read from beginning to end! Not only that, you can hear her story, capturing Stephanie’s heart on the matter in our upcoming podcast on Fashioned Radio! Did I say podcast? YEP! You can find us on Podomatic, and our iTunes podcast will be up in just a few (so keep a look out on Instagram, because we WILL be announcing it once it’s up and available!) With summer officially here, we were sure to cover some of our “Summer Lovin’” bases, which includes a kick-tail feature with fitness guru, Kelsey Lee Hollenbeck! This is both, good news (but for me), bad news, as I’m afraid it’s time for me to get my behind in gear (thanks for the inspiration, Kels)! f you don’t already, be sure to subscribe/ follow her on Instagram, facebook and YouTube for great workout tutorials, healthy eating tips and more! Speaking of YouTube, our fabulous four -- Micaela, Ashlyn, Britt and myself, took the time in the windy city of Murrieta, to film our June host-chat on the importance of dads in our lives! You may have a great relationship with yours, or maybe your relationship between you and your father is a bit estranged. Regardless, check out our Daddy’s Girl chatter and see what these four have to say! BTW, we’ve got makeup tutorials and other goodies on our YouTube channel, so do stop by for a visit! Back to summer! You can’t kick off summer without a fun playlist and some summertime fashion faves! We’ve included some of our picks our beachwear feature will be coming in July ... But don’t let that
keep you from heading to the sandy shores of your nearest beach! With a few other features, we not only covered some fun makeup and accessories, but also fun ways to spruce up your favorite living space! There are many things I enjoy about the month of June, but of the many things this month brings, it is a wonderful time our dads for all they’ve done -- the seen and unseen! We love and are blessed to be your daughters. To those whose dads aren’t around, you are a daughter, to a loving heavenly Daddy. You may not know Him yet, but He sure knows you! Know that you are beautiful, you are one of a kind, you are of worth and you are FASHIONED for greatness! With much love, Cyndi
