This weekend I climbed my Everest. Of course Im not referring to the mountain, I’m referring to the fact that I faced a fear that was placed into me after a near fatal motorbike accident. A few years ago while vacationing in Greece me and my ex BF decided to rent a bike while on the island. Both of us had had previous experience riding so it wasn’t anything new. About 3 days into the holiday, I met a very tricky sharp turn and found myself flying off the bike going head first into a stone wall. I lost my eyesight for about an hour and suffered a skinned knee cap, a concussion, a gashed foot, and bruised ribs. The near fatal part lies in the state of my crash helmet, which was not only crushed inward but has also picked up a nail which was now embedded into the helmet. I should probably also mention that, of the three days we had the bike, this was the first time that I decided to wear the helmet. This is another reason why I believe in guardian angels.
After a short stay in the emergency room, a painful recovery and a ruined 2 week holiday, I told myself that I would never ever get back on a bike again. Not that I was ever some serious riding enthusiasts but I’ve always enjoyed riding whenever I got the opportunity and enjoyed it very much. The accident happened 8 years ago and for the first time since then, I decided to not let fear keep me from doing something that I enjoyed. So I got back on the horse, so to speak, and went riding with my friend on his new bike. I loved every minute of it.
No more letting fear keep me from me from having experiences. Life is too short!

There are many fashion shows where I say to myself I love that look but it’s been a long time since I’ve been inspired as far as styling. What Marc Cain has done with his collection is taken stripes and bold prints and mixed them all up.
This is the kind of styling that I always wished to try but for some reason never have the guts to go through with it. It’s the perfect expression of my inner fashionista.
Not too long ago I started to pay more attention to stripes and Marc Cain’s runway presentation makes me remember why. I especially love the The anchor print sweater!
Last but not least…..My favorite piece from the collection is a dress that symbolizes where I am now in my style. Its simple and elegant and I’m living for it…and the shoes!!!!

The most exciting thing about trolling for hours through Fashion Week runway photos, is the discovery of new designers. This is one of the reasons why I have always been a big fan of Berlin Fashion Week. Unlike London, New York, and Paris where the global labels are showing. Berlin is mostly comprised of local talent that are not yet mainstream.
This seaon Ep_Anoui by Eva Poleschinski’s is that new interesting discovery. The label is described as having” a focus on attention to detail and individuality.
I am particulary a fan of the bold print that she has used to create this bodysuit, dress, and suit. I’m not normally a fan of monocratic suits but the print is bold enough to make a statement but not enough to make your head spin.
What really caught my eye was the fantastic knitted garments used in the presentation. Not since I discovered knitwear designer Mark Fast, have I been truly taken aback by the knitted garments. However, these numbers definitely got my attention.
EP_Anoui has definitely become a designer that I will keep on my radar.

One of the most photogenic, stylish, and gorgeous women on the planet. I had the pleasure of making Leigh’s acquaintance while living in London, England. Unfortunately, conflict of schedules and distance has kept us from hanging as much as I would like. Lucky for both of us, the Poodle that we share keeps us tied together. 
Ladies and Gentlemen Meet…….

Interesting Fact: she thinks combat boots and pearl earrings go with anything. Her dog is her favorite accessory because he’s so damn good looking!

A few weeks ago I received an email from the media company Feedback who represents specialty retailer Versona Accessories; inviting me to their new store opening in Willowbrook Mall in Houston, Tx. As I am a huge fan of fast fashion I was absolutely delighted and even more estatic about my $25 free gift card. ;0
When I arrived and walked into the store, I was almost overwhelmed by the beautiful layout and abundance of fashionionable treats that would excite any fashionista. I also have to point out that the merchandise is all color coded which I always appreciate.
I found so many goodies it was tough for me to narrow them down to just a few choices to really capture the essence of the store. So here are the things I loooovvvveeedddd!!!!!!
How hot are these booties and flower adorned wedges? I have styling visions coming out of my ears. I hope to bring them to you in the near future.
To my surprise the clothes were just as fabulous as the shoes. These summer dresses would set alight any summer party. I especially loved the last dress which is basically a sarong transformed into a stylish dress. I think the skill of doing this is a good idea for a blog post.
Accessories- From casual to elegant you would be able to find all your accessory needs for prices that won’t break the bank. I was impressed with not only the variety of colors, shapes, and style but also the interesing product design. I’m a sucker for interesting jewelry. Check out the elephant bracelet and polka dot hat and handbag. Need I say more?
The greatest thing about Versona Accessories is that it is truly a one stop shop for all the latest trends. It will definitely become one of my shopping stomping grounds. I hope you will make it one of yours as well.

This might not be exciting for alot of people and many of you will say welcome to 2012. However I only recently became tuned into the variety of things that I am able to do with my iPhone pics. I am sorta new to all this technology so I wanted to share what I learned in a couple of hours. There is so many cool things you can do and I hope to take advantage of all of them. I hope you enjoy!
I used Picstich for the board effect and Camera+for the enhancements. This represents the perfect evening. Antonio Valvaldi’s violins concertos and red wine.
My oldest and favorite pair of shoes. I bought them in 2000 and I still love them to this day. I just think the design is so unique and interesting. I used Picfx to get this sunkissed effect.
My New York Style. I did a combo board and played around with effects on PicStich!
