[dropcap custom_class="whbr"]Fashion Week is quickly approaching and it seems it is more or less back to where it was in 2019. This was the last time I was in Paris and I found that trends I saw there arrived on American shores about 12-18 months later. In general I feel like Europe is ahead of the trends to a degree, I guess because in the States there are two major cities that are super fashion forward: New York and Los Angles.[/dropcap]

https://youtu.be/KsMccg4Zu1o Hi everyone, well it is now mid summer and hot as you know what, though it seems like it has been hot since the get go, or should I say HUMID. I am just getting around to posting this video on what I ...

[dropcap custom_class="whbr"]Well folks it has beeb a minute. Things have been crazy for me. Selling a house and moving is no joke. It was quite the ride. I had little to no time to devote to the blog or my YouTube channel. But things are finally settling down. I have been in my new place about a month now, and today is the first day I have had some extra time to be able to sit down and get this video uploaded.[/dropcap]

This shoot actually took place a year ago! But with everything I had going on in my life as well as the photographer Pierre also being quite busy and having to wait for some releases and then life getting in the way we had ...

[/bigletter]Well I could not make it to PFW this season, actually not since 2019. I really miss Paris and hope I can travel there again soon. As many of you know one my favorite things to do when I attend PFW (and NYFW) is interviewing other attendees on what they are wearing and what inspired their looks.[bigletter]

[dropcap custom_class="whbr"]This Fashion Week was a quick one for me as in one day. I have a lot going on right now with selling my mom's house, closing and moving. Between that and a full time job I had no time this season to focus on Fashion Week. No time to prepare, no time to attend shows, and pretty much just super wiped out from all that is going on in my life.[/dropcap]

[dropcap custom_class="normal"]Hands up, who likes to watch those jaw dropping transformational makeup tutorials? One can’t deny that they can be quite eye popping and fun to watch, but as fun as they are, these types of super dramatic makeup applications are not going to be your go-to for heading to work or running errands. Truth be told they may even be bit much for drinks with the girls.[/dropcap]

[dropcap custom_class="whbr"]We all know the last two years have been rough. And I am sure we are glad that 2021 is over. In addition to world events I lost my mom in 2020, nothing can really prepare you for that. It is a slow climb out of mourning but there is light at the end of tunnel. Life can be difficult we all know that, but it is true that time heals all wounds, or least lessens them.[/dropcap]
