Wow, wow , wow that’s all I can really say! Summer was a blur filled with home projects, a quick trip to spend time with my mom, it had been three years since I had seen her! Sprinkle in a bit of poison Ivy and here I am already into the groove of the school year and working hinchology on new and different paths that I am very excited about!




When was the last time you put yourself out there, like really put yourself out there?! For me it was time square fashion week and magic sourcing at Javits center!
When Dee Rivera asked for me to be part of her dream team and manage the back stage with my bestie Rita, there’s no question the answer was Yea Yea Yea! I found myself using my teaching skills more than ever! Diverting upsets and putting a smile on when a frown was facing me! I had never worked with models before and was a bit nervous but have to say they are amazing!
They truly were the sweetest ever! Dee believed in me, she took the chance that I would do right by her! And it payed off!! Forever grateful!




Now going to Magic Source! Completely different story! The vendors are there to get whole sale sales! Me being there for press is a whole different ball game! I’m there to show highlights for IG and my blog!! P.s. thank you for having me! Some designers we’re grateful, happy even to have me! Others watched me with a side eye! Maybe they didn’t understand that I was there to show off the latest and greatest looks for the season and for local boutiques!!
Any who, glad to have had the experience and thrilled to connect with those that got it, they get that free advertising is something to never turn down!!




Looking at what’s to come from runways and Magic source, fun prints, color pops and metallics aren’t going away, and thank God, cause they are favorites!!




As you look through IG, tik tok, local boutiques, Vogue even, you are going to see layers, layers and yea you guessed it, more layers! Oh and yellow.
When there is a trend out there do you shop for it? If so where! Is it New new for full price or off to a thrift shop? What’s your cut off? Where do you draw the line, financially at least?
Glad to see the fall season! I know I said I’m doing my blog posts once a season but buckle up I’m going to be popping in your inbox a bit more!
It’s time to talk fashion, confidence, next steps and new chapters!
For today two take always!
Be brave and go for it! Never think you can’t always think you Can!
Make lemons into lemonade or olives into a dirty martini! Another words make the moment the best you can! Life doesn’t become happy, you have to actually live life happy! Smile, be kind, humble and grateful! This is the key to living your best life!
Well until next style fam,
Xo,
