"It’s a new era in fashion - there are no rules. It’s all about the individual and personal style, wearing high-end, low-end, classic labels, and up-and-coming designers all together."

— Alexander McQueen

Welcome to my blog…I am new to this so please bear with me. 

Fashion is something that I have had a passion for my entire life.  I can still remember as a young child picking out fabrics so my Mama could make my clothing for me.  I was anything but “conventional” in my desired attire.  I wanted belted shirts, leggings, neon colors, and sparkle!!!  My Mama knew she was about to create a monster when I wanted her to make me bright colored M.C. Hammer pants at the young age of six.  From that point on she knew she had given birth to a girl who would love trends, style, and fashion…not always a cheap hobby…but a fun one nonetheless. 

This blog is a new venture for me, as blogging is not something I ever felt I could keep up with.  I would never have thought to start blogging about fashion if it weren’t for a school project, but as I thought about it…I am surrounded by it!  I have many friends who are talented clothing designers, custom shoe designers, hair dressers, custom accessory designers, models, and I myself have worked with makeup artistry.  So I have decided that I want to devote this new venture to showing the world how proud I am of the fashion world that surrounds me whether it is a designer, a company, a person, or an event. 

These are two of my fave models I have ever done make up for...too much fun!

Throughout my 28 years I have managed to meet some fantastic people that I am honored to introduce you to.  These people truly are artists and have a style that is completely unique and all their own.  The passion and dedication that is required for this business is phenomenal.  The vision that goes into making a truly original garment is unrivaled.  I only hope that I can introduce you to some of the most amazing people I have found in the fashion industry that are unique and exquisite in their own individual ways.

As some read this they may wonder, “Why do I need to know this person?  Why does it matter?”  Truthfully, whether you realize it or not, your clothing…style…image…is an outward expression that tells the world who you are.  We wear the clothing that we want people to associate us with.  The girl who walks with her high heels, designer purse, and big sunglasses is not wearing that clothing to leave any question of where she belongs.  She either belongs to an upper class society or wants you to think that she does.  The “indie” rocker chick who passes you on the street with gauges in her ears and three colors of hair wants to stick out…she does not want to blend in with the crowd.  These are conscious decisions we all make each and every day to show society where we belong…or at least where we desire to belong.
