Greetings, all!

My last post was 2 weeks ago, and I definitely do not like that at all… but sometimes life gets in the way of one’s hobbies. Between being a single mom, working full-time, being a girlfriend, a friend, and all the other titles and obligations intertwined therein… sometimes my favored blog hobby is unfortunately neglected. Sorry!

About blogging… particularly when the blog’s focal point is fashion…

All of the looks that I pull together, in reflection of my personal style, require a lot, but not in the way you’d think… Not only do I take a bit of time to get [somewhat] dolled up, I’m talking hair styled, make up and nails done, but I also work with a couple of photographers (mainly Chris or Brittany)– whose schedules may not always align flawlessly with mine; and then finally, I also need to figure out what to do with my daughter while I go out for a shoot. As much fun as it is to create works of outfit art through fashion and style, there is indeed a lot of effort behind it… but I have fun, and when the time is there, it’s worth it.

Speaking of fun…

What’s going on in your world??? Mine has been the typical go, go, go! Lot’s of day trips like taking Alena to see The Little Mermaid at the Chicago Shakespeare Theatre in Chicago; and date nights, like seeing Rob Thomas play at Ravinia with Kai.

I cannot believe the end of July is closing in. My July will end with a trip to Annapolis, MD– starting tomorrow! After work, the boyfriend and I will be heading to the airport to fly out there for the weekend. Kai lived in Annapolis, for several years, before returning back to the Chicago area. (Which I’m glad he did, otherwise we likely wouldn’t have met!) So he’s taking me there for a long weekend to check out a city that he loves.

Be sure to follow my Instagram, as I will post daily photos of our trip.

That’s all for now!
