Monday

Miss me? I know right, not so much. (Ha!)  Once again my schedule has taken priority in my life. I've been a busy little bee.  Hmmm...I'd say more like a busy bumble bee after this Thanksgiving.  My holiday started out wonderful and ended with a slap in the face.  Not in a physical form but in an emotional form.  Never the less, some good is definitely upon me.

I strongly believe any garment can be dressed-up or down, for that's the beauty of style.

I wore the first outfit to a meeting yesterday for a model casting for my upcoming photo shoot next month.  I am so excited about the collection and the theme of the shoot.  It will be a bitter sweet shoot for me this time, for I will be missing someone very dear to me.  But, the show must gone on and so must business.  Also new in my world,

-pending wholesale orders

-a huge fashion blogger in Brazil was told by a reader to check-out my line.  And now, something's in  the works.

-I'll be doing my first blog give-away next month...SHOES!

-I'll be adding the LookBook Shop to my website (details coming soon)

-I'm going on VACATION! Yes, this....is new to me. Ha!

So tons to be thankful for this year, regardless of the disappointments.  More importantly, I am thankful for my God and my family, for whom without...I would not be here today.

Next post, my first trunk show with my line and details on The LookBook Shop!

xoxo, Loves.

Turning 30

So I'm officially 30 and officially going through a mid-life crisis! Ok maybe that's a bit much but to tell you the truth, something very profound has come over me.  As if I'm seeing my current life in a whole new light, ground breaking almost.  Has that ever happen to you?  Anyways, over all my birthday was great. I really want to thank everyone who made it even more special for me. Love you all tons!

Here are the highlights...

My birthday cake from my mom, it's a Rosca fruit cake!

My shoe fund piggy bank, also from my mom. Love her.

Gifts and cards. Thank you Cheryl, Danette and Maribel!

Then it was off to the Rockwell VT, to celebrate.

My outfit for the night. Loving the mid-waist ruffle detail....

And the print was pretty cute too.

My favorite part of my outfit (as always)....my 4" black, ruffle, velvet stilettos.

Benefit of having a sister who's a stylist; styling you for her own birthday party.  Best part of her outfit, her leather thigh high boots (not shown here).

Opposites attract.

My date for the night. My hubby.

I could eat a trunk load of this, salt and pepper calamari with cucumber..mmmm

Some Moet to toast!

Cheers to me! Can you guess which hand is mine?

So here's to a new chapter in my life....the road to wisdom. Bummed that I had other pictures with friends that didn't come out right.  Anyways, this week I'll be putting together a little slide show of my 30 years of fashion to post here, so stay tuned darlins.  Till we read again, xoxox
