With spring around the corner, everyone has the itch to be outside, see new places, and TRAVEL. I am dreaming of catching the next flight to the beach! So, I made these luggage tags for 🙂 They are 4 x 2 in. , can slide in a plastic cover, and have a front and back side:) Hope these different colors will match your luggage!

Tell us about how you got into being a personal stylist?! I have a B.S. in Fashion. I have 17 professional years of Fashion and Interiors experience. I have done everything from manage clothing stores to owning one to being a department store buyer.
I have always loved clothing and decorating. As long as I can remember people have asked me where I get my clothes, and if I would take them shopping and help them.
So I figured why not get paid to do it? I have the BEST job in the world. It is so rewarding to help someone redo their wardrobe or home. It really has a big positive emotional impact on their life.
How do you stay on top of the fashion world?
This comes very naturally to me because I love it so much! I read a lot, go to the shows (LA Fashion week it coming up), watch TV and movies. You name it I am always watching and learning.
Please tell us about your 5$ Virtual Outfits! I am fascinated…
Well I started this blog as a portfolio for local clients so I could show them what I do. It is very visual! Well then I started getting emails asking for help from people that didn’t live near me, and this idea came to me!
Here is how it works: The virtual client pays $5 per set (through Paypal), I send them a questionnaire, then from their answers and body type lifestyle and needs I put together outfits for them from online stores! You can read all the detailshere.
Where do you want your business to be in a year (or 5 yrs)?
I ‘d love to continue doing what I do, I truly love helping the average women look awesome! I have a couple other projects I am working on as well, but I can’t let the cat out of the bag, yet.
What are three current favorite shops you go to for fashion resources?
Anthropologie, Target, J.Crew
Name three trends you see for the upcoming months that will hit wardrobes everywhere:
1) Wedge Sandals (since we are headed to spring summer)
2) Boyfriend Jeans will continue to be big. 3) I think leggings are going to stick around, so if you haven’t already go buy them 😉
4) Lace also started last fall but I think it is hitting mainstream fashion so everyone should get a pretty off white lace blouse. I know that is four but I couldn’t stop 🙂

I can’t say anything but to read her story. I sobbed the whole way through.
Today is my husband’s birthday….. I know he will be so embarrassed when he sees this, but I can’t help but dedicate today’s post to him. Besides, he IS the man who I am crazy about. We had a lot of fun this weekend celebrating with Valentine’s Day in the mix as well.
(Left – doing Mission Work, Right- during his Rugby days)
The reasons I was drawn to him early on, are still the reasons I love him so much….He is a man of service, he is a leader. We met in college. I loved going to watch him play and coach Rugby. Its amazing how much you can draw from a person’s character by how they act on and off the field. From our first days of dating, he would always find ways to serve me..humbling! And of course, he made me laugh more than anyone I knew…and still does!
Left-Our first 10K, Right- going to a Braves game)
We had so many of the same interests, but if he found out about something that meant a lot to me, he would go the extra mile to make it his interest too. Such as, going to Braves games when he is a diehard Brewers fan, going running with me (which is not his favorite way to excercise;)), making an effort to get to know each of my ten brothers and sisters, encouraging me to pursue art and design, etc. etc.
I know God created him for me. Each day I discover more reasons why…
(Our son Gabriel Joseph, at 2 mo. and 6 mo. with his daddy-who makes him laugh all the time)
Nothing melts a woman’s heart more than to see her husband and child interact. My husband is an amazing father. He works so hard for both of us, and is so involved in our lives. Little G can’t wait for him to walk in the door….daddy = entertainment to him:) We can’t seem to wrap our mind around this little person! He is the face of God to us, and I can’t get enough of my boys!
So, Happy Birthday to my favorite man in the whole world:)
