Well, a Sugarluxe Girl knows that beauty and brains are not mutually exclusive. Having a savvy fashion sense, a deep love for Jimmy Choos or by all means, wearing the color pink doesn't mean that we can't possibly be...Smart. Sensible. Successful.

The point is, we constantly have to prove that we are all of those things and more.

But we can't get caught up in the complaint that some people might think that how we look is more important than what we say. We think the trick is that if looking polished gets a person to to pay attention to you then you clearly have a chance to be heard…and that can make all the difference.

It's in that moment that you have the opportunity to alter expectations. Don't dumb yourself down in order to be less intimidating. Anyone worthwhile and with self-confidence should find your combination of good looks and clever wit to be quite sexy. So show it off.

Yes, hard-core feminists of yesteryear will protest that we feminine feminists (a.k.a. girly girls) of today have thwarted their efforts to create equality.

To that, we can only acknowledge their work and sacrifice. Thanking them for getting us to where we are today…which is a time and place that allows us to not only be proud of, but to really flaunt our femininity and prove to others that the notion that a girl can't be both beautiful and brainy has gone the way of the spiral perm.
