How Exciting!

Christie and I ( Possession Obsession ) met up with Ivey, founder of Pink Soles, Inc to discuss and internship and we got it!  We are now helping to plan the Ultimate Fall Fashion Event, which takes place October 20th.  We are so excited!!!

Pink Soles is a non-profit, contemporary initiative focused on promoting the advancement of breast cancer research and awareness.  Last year, Ivey took on promoting her non-profit by producing her first (annual) fashion show. Seeing the photo's and hearing her passion about the cause convinced me that I HAD to get in on this! Here's a bit of what happened last year ~






Here's the big kicker....I may have a chance to design for this event as well! What an honor that will be!!! I'll have to work fast though. Better get to sketching.

fresh take

Every couple of months there are a few of us gals who get really bored with our look - so we try something new. 

Shoes that take you to daring new heights. A new dress that tests your limits with the current "hot" trend.  A new lip color that compliments your pearly whites...

Well I decided it was time for a Fresh Take on my own new look by getting a drastic hair cut...don't get me wrong, I was terrified.  But it was so worth it.  I decided to chop it all off and try out an asymetrical bob!

 I was especially nervous because my natural hair is soooo very curly

But it just felt like the right time for a change in my life.  What I have found after warming up to my new look is bold confidence.  There isn't a heap of hair to hide behind anymore! When I carry myself upright with grace, it is noticeable and accentuated.

I also don't look like a teenager anymore haha! I'm twenty four now, and I feel like I look a bit more my age, am taken a bit more seriously...but not too seriously, of course.

It really is amazing what a little haircut can do.  For all you gals feeling a bit bored with your look, i highly recommend being brave enough to try something a bit drastic, and totally new!!!
