Glossy Chaos Explained - Because Life’s Messy & Fabulous

Messy can still be beautiful.

✨ What Is Glossy Chaos? ✨

Let’s define the vibe.

It’s the mid-meltdown outfit change.

The lipstick applied while waiting for your doctor’s appointment, job interview (and overthinking everything).

It’s glam in the middle of grit — beauty with baggage and style under pressure.

If you’ve ever packed a serum for surgery recovery… worn lashes to a biopsy… or added a fresh nail topcoat to face the day after bad news — you already get it.

Glossy chaos is reinvention in real time.

It’s not perfect. But it’s real.

And it comes with sparkle. 💄✨

P.S. If you’re new here — or wondering where I went — I took an offline pause.

After a year away, breast cancer free (yay!), I’m back with a fresh name, a sharper voice, and a little more sparkle. ✨ A Fashionable Blog is now Real Sheryl Says — a space for glossy chaos, product crushes, and style with soul.

💌 Subscribe to stay in the loop (and in the glow-up). I’m just getting started. 💋 Thanks for being here!

P.S. {Personal Note:

Formerly known as “A Fashionable Blog” (2011–2024), REAL SHERYL SAYS has officially moved! I felt it was time for a fresh start — new location, new vibe, and here we are on Substack.

You will still find posts from AFB archived here — spanning fashion week dispatches, men’s style, and the wonderfully random (yes, including that unforgettable NASA suit tie moment when I was a VIP at a NASA night launch in South Florida — go read it, it’s a gem).
Also, prior to 2023 you’ll see my sign off signature using my birth name. I legally changed my name to Sheryl Saint Clair — a shift that reflects who I’ve become — yes, I blogged about it). The stories are still mine. The sparkle definitely still is)

Thanks for reading — I’m glad you’re here.
