Cut it Out

-

Was feelin' cute when I got home from work the other day and decided to take a few pictures.

Outfit: Dress: H&M- OnSale! ; Tights: Target- Similar ; Boots: Marshalls- Similar

Work has been pretty crazy lately so the fact that I was even up to taking my own pictures was a miracle!

Right now at work, I'm working on Cruise 2017 swim.  It seems very far away, but we need to have everything done and photographed by the end of August! It's weird how fashion works sometimes.
Since we've been so busy we haven't had a chance to do our bi-weekly trip to NYC for print shopping.

My design team and I are now responsible for all swimwear brands at FullBeauty Brands (Woman Within, Roamans, Jessica London) and our own lines at Swimsuitsforall (Aquabelle, Beachbelle, Shore Club, Tropiculture, Swim Sexy) It's a lot of businesses to design for!  Each business is one of a kind and there are a lot of specific types of women we design for.



The age range for us is anywhere from young 20's to women in their 70's and 80's, so it's a wide span of women of all shapes and sizes.  It's very challenging trying to figure out what each woman wants in a swimsuit!  But as always our design team is up for the challenge.

Other than work, things have been pretty relaxed outside of my job. I've been planning a few things for my trip to Iceland this October and I'm also looking forward to going home for a little over Memorial Day Weekend!




I'm also apartment hunting for the place of my dreams.  I've been bouncing around since I moved back to the area this time two years ago and I'm ready to be settled in my own place.  Moving is never a quick and painless process so I'm praying that I will find something in the next few months that fit for me and my future cat!

YES! CAT!!!!! Not sure when exactly I'm going to adopt, but I'm gonna do it! Y'all can't stop me! Now that I have my full time job I feel like I can afford to take care of another living thing that's not a plant. Although I do want more of those too! (Cat friendly, of course)


It's been snowing/raining on and off today so I've been staying in and catching up on some TV shows.  I'm hoping that the weather will start to get nicer soon that way I can conduct the kinds of shoots that I want to in the future.

Hope you are all enjoying the weekend; whether you're stuck inside because of the rain or enjoying the great outdoors.

Stay Strong & Style On

David Bowie: Fashion Icon, Rock Legend

David Bowie January 8th, 1947- January 10th, 2016 Although I'm writing this several months after his death, I still wanted to bring forward the importance of David Bowie and his contribution to music and fashion.  I do have to admit, I never was a huge  David Bowie fan,but there has been a number of songs and outfits that have inspired me over the years. In his life, Bowie produced 26 albums, did 14 world tours and appeared in 21 films and television shows. He accomplished so much during his time and his death was a huge loss in the world of rock and roll.  While all of these accomplishments are great, there have been some iconic outfits that have been worn by Bowie in the past years that made some of these moments famous and never forgotten. Life on Mars Some of Bowie's most famous suits were designed by Freddie Burretti , including the suit he wore in the music video "Life on Mars."  Not only did he design the blue suit, but a lot of othe

Polka Dot Queen

As you might of seen in the last post, I really enjoy getting dressed up for special occasions!  This time is was no different.  Usually I end up going out and buying something new to wear to a wedding but in this case I already had a dress in my closet.  A few months ago a girl I worked with at Timberland came by my desk with a dress that she said was a gift from someone but it didn't find her exactly.  She's a little bit shorter than I am and the proportions were off for her.  That's the down side to being a petite girl! (I'm not even at 5'2!) So she was kind enough to bestow it upon me!  I've been waiting for the right occasion to come along and this was it! The polka dot dress from Forever21 has a cute little peplum and also a mesh top which adds character to the dress.  It also has the sweetest peter pan collar and a keyhole back.  The shoes are Carlos by Carlos Santana and I got them for a steal at Buffalo Exchange in Philly a few years back.

Dark Vibes

Hi Everyone! I'm back!....I think. Since I went on hiatus, I've moved twice, got a new(er) position at Destination Maternity and still have been interviewing my butt off hoping that a new job will soon come along. I was really feeling my outfit the other week, so I had my roommate snap a couple of photos when I got home from work.  It's really a shame that it gets dark so early these days.  Don't get me wrong, I love  fall but I don't love how short the days become. The scarf was a gift from an old roommate.  Her boyfriend's mother had given it to her but she didn't want it.  I'm not exactly sure why  but you can never have enough scarves if you ask me! I've always enjoyed black on black on black looks.  The only problem I ever have is my blacks will never match, ever! #gothgirlproblems I got the shoes over the summer from Forever 21. They were the last of their kind!  A lot of women that I work with are also
