I’ve been too busy to even post an anniversary post for my blog; which turned 3 this month. Starting this blog has been one of the most entertaining and eye-opening experiences for me. I have met so many fabulous people, formed some great relationships (some in person, others through cyber space) and have been invited to some of the hottest places in town.

Most of all I’ve learned that if you put your mind to something- no matter what it is and dedicate enough time and effort to making it a success, it will happen.

This blog has opened some great doors for me and continues to do so every day, all of which could not have been possible without my readership base, fellow bloggers, Tweeps and the brands who are actually interested in what I have to say.

I promise to bring you better things in 2013 and I think it will be the year where I may even stop hiding behind an avatar. Or not. But really who cares.

Happy 2013!

 

 

 

I used to hate the color red on me. I always thought it looked great on others but made me look somewhat tacky.  But as I get older (and more mature) I’m starting to embrace it. It all began with a little red dress followed by a dramatic shade of red lipstick and then a fabulous little something called Louboutin red soles. And now I’m ready for that red bag. But which one?

I can never get enough of these compilations. The creative process behind them fascinates me, seems like a scene right out of Mad Men. Here’s another list of sexist advertising coupled with a couple of others that should be illegal if they aren’t already!
