Fashion Friday: Snap Button & Studs

I have been more than inspired each day, by the ever so amazing {and equally as gorgeous} Fashion Bloggers that I have stumbled across over the past 2 months. Just to name a few, and seriously I mean a few, I honestly think I follow more Fashion Blogs than I do Tea Blog...

These Ladies... make me love getting dressed every morning. I have always had a great love and desire for Fashion. Through High School I actually had full intentions on taking Fashion School after graduation...however Event Planning found me and the role of a Wedding Planner I soon took at rip age of 19. 

My love for clothing, accessories, shoes and of course purses has never been so grand since discovering these gorgeous beauties and their blogs! I had no idea their was people out their as crazy about their attire as I was. Yes Mother...your right...you do learn something everyday. Okay, Okay...Chalk it up (1 for you and 0 for me).

I design and make a great deal of my Hair Accessories {as you have seen here} and have printed and stored many DIY Accessories that I have full intension on making in the near future (as soon as my Craft Room is back in order after Renovations). ...love Maegan, I am pretty sure I have printed off ALL your DIY Fashion Accessories you have on your blog. Thanks for being so dang crafty!

I have been pondering this addition to my Blog for a good month now, however what has seem to seal the deal comes all thanks to my girl Eboni Ife at The Fashionista Next Door. I won a Contest she was having for a Free Pair of Jeans from Old Navy (thank you again Eboni for that) ... I went out, got my Jeans {Women's Skinny Cords; which you can buy here} that I love and adore just as much as my Creamy Earl Grey (for those of you who know me, that's a pretty grand statement to make). And so here I am....Let this be the first  of many Fashion Fridays!!


PS: I don't know how I will take criticism; ask my husband and he will say "not very lady-like", however I do know that with a blog comes good and bad remarks. I hope that my viewers stick to the quote we all know and love...."if you don't have anything nice to say, say nothing at all".


PPS: However, if someone would like to make a suggestion about what I should/could/would look divine in, please don't hesitate to comment below! I find sometimes I can live inside the fashion box and moving outside it may take a little time. However I have every desire to one day feel confident in the combo of polka dots and stripes or better yet lace and denim. Wow - I said it... that's the first step to recovery I think... isn't it Miss Ife? I bought the Denim and the Lace....the next step is wearing them together. Seems so easy, doesn't it?!?
