Building Relationships

I had the pleasure of getting in touch with NBC Host of Open House NYC and LXTV Sara Gore and her stylist Kat Rappaport. They are very sweet down to earth ladies. Here is Sara wearing her Regal Sovereign fishbone earrings and bracelet on this mornings taping of LXTV.

The Art of Balance.

After talking with friends about life and being a working mom, I have to admit it is quite a challenge to do it all. I find myself drifting a lot from one thing to another...my focus needs to be corrected. I allowed doubt and excuses to put things off but there is no room for that in my life. I am surrounded by people that encourage me and set great examples. Everyday I am inspired by people like my friend Leslie who is a mother of 3 and has managed to be consistent and dedicated to her blog. Not only that, Leslie has created a way for other bloggers all over to collaborate and support one another. This builds a since of community and encouragement. I feel me having one child can't even compare. I am eternally grateful for people who stop at nothing to pursue their goals and do a damn good job at it. Here is to being up for the challenge and putting my best foot forward everyday. I am not putting myself down in anyway as I know I have had some amazing accomplishments. The fact of the matter is acknowledging what needs improvement as I strive for perfection in my ability to balance. #BLMGirl

The Art of McQueen!

Alexander McQueen was a genius! His designs were more than just fashion; they were a work of ART! No other words can describe his talent. See for yourself...

Presenting Alexander McQueen at the Met.

His legacy lives on. This exhibit is a must see. Extremely dark with extravagant avant garde bodies of work. Running through July 31, 2011 "Savage Beauty" features more than 100 ensembles and 70 accessories covering his 16-year career, from the majestic to the macabre. Clothing spans from his 1992 Central St. Martins postgraduate collection based on Jack The Ripper, to the final runway collection, "Angels and Demons," presentated after his death in February 2010, and steeped in religious imagery.

The art of doing it yourself

I love to shop but sometimes I find it hard to purchase something when I know I can make it myself at a lesser cost. My boyfriend calls me cheap but so what. :-P I'm not ashamed to admit that I am frugal with my money; it goes hand in hand since I am crafty I don't mind taking time to do it myself. I saw this cute vintage inspired twistable headband at American Apparel. It came in solid colors as well as some cute vintage patterns for a retail price of $14.

Like I said...I couldn't bring myself to spend $14 on a headband when I know darn well I can make it. I went ahead that very day to get a spool of 18 gauge wire for $3.25 as I already have scraps of fabric at home, a sewing machine and wire cutter.

If you don't have a sewing machine at home a needle and thread will do. The sewing machine my grandma gave me sure comes in handy! Voila! Low and behold my very own twistable vintage inspired headband for only $3.25 and I have extra wire left to make more.




Doing it yourself sure can save you in the long run!
