Merci Beaucoup 2012

meeting Scott Schuman and Garance Doré at The Webster

 

what an eventful year it has been, I couldn't have imagined any of it the year before, which is why I appreciate life in the first place because you never know what is coming next. I am so grateful to everyone of you who has given me the opportunity to continue this journey, I've met so many wonderful, creative and energetic people who like to think outside the box and what to make a difference in their communities. I am also so thankful to be surrounded by people who care so much and even more for having so many talented friends, from Creative Directors, PR pioneers, teachers, spiritual leaders, artists, dancers, designers to bloggers. All of these people are the ones that create an exciting atmosphere for all of us and I consider myself lucky to be in that group, hopefully our efforts can inspire others to do the same, so that they can shake things up.

although this was the year I lost my amazing grandmother, I have so much to feel blessed about and her passing in a way is one of them because now I have her as an angel that will guide me through and protect me for the rest of my life. This was also the year that my love proposed to me and I couldn't be more happy...it's been a long time coming. Next year is going to be filled with so many exciting opportunities, changes and surprises, looking forward to it already.

in the meantime I want to thank 2012 for a fabulous year it's been to me and for all the people that it brought to my life, as well as those who I have had in my life for many years...thank you for your undying support. May 2013 be a great year for all of you.

Annie Vazquez from The Fashion Poet, Kelly Saks from Kelly's Kloset and myself at the Miss Trish Shoes designer meet and greet

For the past two weeks I have had plenty of fun events to attend and I have been having a blast meeting fellow bloggers as well as designers and such. Miami bloggers want to build a community and that's exactly what we will do. The first photo is from last Saturday's event at Nordstrom which you will soon see a more detailed post on (even though it will be so late, better late than never right?!). My weekend started on Thursday where I attended the very successful Fashion Bloggers Do It Better event at Ricochet Lounge over in Midtown. Where I got to meet Brian Burkhardt the winner from Project Accessory, check out his and his wife jewelry line Triian, him and his wife where so sweet and he was a blast to talk to. Let's see what this week and weekend bring into my life, looking forward to it. For more photos of Miss Trish Shoe Meet and Greet and Fashion Bloggers Do It Better see my fb page here.

Enjoy the rest of your sunday!
