ShoeMint celebrated their one year anniversary on November 10, 2012 at Laurel Hardware in West Hollywood, CA. My team and I did an amazing job with setting up the brunch didn't we! It looks so beautiful, to see my work in beautifully captured photos and to say HARD WORK PAYS OFF! It was an amazing day, nice little breeze to have the bunting sway in the trees, and to meet some lovely people.

I just want to say, as a young woman who is trying to find her way, anything is possible if you put the effort in, to never give up. And with Thanksgiving coming soon, I AM THANKFUL FOR THE PEOPLE I HAVE IN MY LIFE!

The last outfit shot of me before my big move out of NYC...

I'm sure the city has much colder weather that would deem my outfit inappropriate, but it works for current conditions here in LA. I tend to throw on a larger piece of outerwear over a spring/summer silk dress in a sad little attempt to mentally hold onto one last ounce of warmer weather.

Thin summer dresses with oversized jackets and shorts with thick chunky sweaters... May seem silly, but when the mornings and evenings have over a 20 degree difference sometimes it just makes more sense.

extra long shadows +

fully beaded sleeves & a tail makes for a fun outfit to shake around in.

With the holidays coming up, we can all justify wearing beaded sparkly things as 'normal' attire. Or for those like me, everyday attire.
