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.

The Man Repeller pays a visit

ahhhhhhhh. <-- that's me screaming

I don't even know where to begin, if you are a fashion addict like me than you know who this leading lady is...none other than Leandra Medine best known as The Man Repeller. And I had the pleasure of meeting her at The Webster Miami for an afternoon meet and greet on Sunday January 15, 2011. Weirdly enough I wasn't all that nervous, for those who know me know I am a nervous wreck! As I was led through the section of the boutique were she was comfortably standing by just chatting away with her dearest followers I couldn't believe my eyes, I thought to myself "wow this is really her" of course other gals were taking their chance with her so I had to prance around patiently before I got my chance to have a one-on-one chat with her. I glided over to her when I saw the opportunity and I wasn't surprised to realize how friendly she was, you see I have this power not many of you know.

Leandra is so friendly she makes you feel as though you have known her all of your life. There was so many things I wanted to talk to her about but of course I didn’t bring them up, like have you always love fashion? how do you measure your success? or even where do you get inspiration from? I think I was in a state of disbelief the whole time and I hope she didn’t think I was some bland awkward girl with nothing interesting to say other than I love your blog! Well I am lying I did get to talk to her about a few things like people accusing her of a liar for having a boyfriend (now fiance) and not standing up to her image of the Man Repeller, to her family owning a home here in Aventura (so Aventura natives keep your eyes open you may just spot the Man Repeller wandering around),

Thank you for coming to Miami Leandra!
