POLKA DOT PARTY PLEASE

Inspired recently by the glamourai, I decided to pull out some polka dots and throw on an outfit for her little challenge. My photographer did an EXCELLENT job, especially since he's about 4 feet tall! I DO wish I could find some black polka dotted nylons SOMEWHERE, but, alas... no luck!! What do you think? I'd LOVE to win some of her GORGEOUS jewelry!!





(As always, I don't believe myself a model, just having fun!!)

SOOO, KIDS...

How do you combine all the things you love into one project? Fashion, Art, etc? I'll tell you!! I'm going to start my own online magazine!! Yep, folks, it's ON!! I've got my photographer lined up, the online hosting site, and ideas of the topics I want to focus on. This is the focus of the magazine:

"MODEST, FIERCE FASHION YOU CAN AFFORD!!"

I'll be focusing on (mostly) thrift store finds, recycled old stuff into new fashion items, DIYs, self esteem concerning body image, a bit of healthy cooking, home decorating, and... I won't be using professional models. I LOVE the idea of using real women, not photoshopped, and of a range size 2 to 20!!

This is why I'm streamlining my blog--it'll be a location for fashion and accessories, topics that my magazine will cover, and empowering women to see their own beauty in themselves and around them.

CAN'T TELL YOU HOW EXCITED I AM!!!

OH WOW {and am I creepy for loving this?}

Ah, those were the days!!

This just in: I HATE DIETING. the end.

Blog Changing...

I will be either changing this blog to just strict fashion or I may be starting a new one, (there's a method to all this madness!!) I will keep you posted....

My Old Doppleganger

I think this is ME in another 30 or 40 years. NO LIE. Except my eyebrows are different.

But MAN... Her necklaces are like one I just made the other day, but maxxed out as if in my dreams...
