Memo 059: Turban Fever

To: All

From: Me

Date: May 7, 2013

Subject: Headpiece of the Summer

_______________________________________________________________________________

By golly, I've figured it out!

I'm declaring here and now that, all summer, I'm wearing turbans! It's so perfect. It's my top knot for the summer, ready at a moment's notice!

This turban here is from The MCB Shop. The best thing about it other than that it's super fabulous is that I didn't have to sit in front of my computer for seven hours watching You Tube tutorials to learn how to tie it. I just put it on!

Literally, what more can you ask for in life?!

Blazer: Zara, Top: ASOS, Pants: Zara

"Well, I'm not sure if I can style for other people"

"I mean, I've never done it before"

"I'm not sure if I want to work with individuals"

"I can't even shop with other people!"

Excuses! Excuses! Excuses!

Well, no more. My dear friend, Maya, constantly and consistently reminded me that she would be more than willing to be a guinea pig in my fashion experiment. So, I tried it.

I'll admit, we struggled a little. She was unsure about the Zara dress and the ASOS Regal Dog necklace. "Well, I just need to see it styled" she would repeatidly say. In the end, she trusted my eye and it all came together!

Without further ado, I bring to you Werked! It's a new section that will feature people that have been styled by yours truly.

Memo 058: May Flowers

To: All

From: Me

Date: May 1, 2013

Subject: First Day of May

_____________________________________________________________________________________

I am literally taken aback at the speed at which these months fly by!

Especially when May sneaks up on me. It's my birthday month and it has become a check in point with myself. The more I question where I am in life, the more that I realize that I am exactly where I am supposed to be.

Instead of beating myself up about what I haven't done since last May, I'll reflect here on what I have done:

Traveled to Barcelona, Rome, Paris and the Dominican Republic
Experienced the best and worst (yes both!) 5-month reflection period of my entire life
Started this awesome blog called The Werk! Place
Conducted my first media coverage at the MIM Rocks Fashion Show
Took a wine tour in Napa Valley
Served as a Bridesmaid in my BFFs wedding
Witnessed one of my favorite linesisters/friend get married
Hosted my first baby shower
Started a new job (same company) with an awesome schedule
Took ski lessons in Lake Tahoe
Went to my first Phoenix Sun's Game
Created my 2nd Vision Board
Finally, closed the door to some feelings that should have left long ago.
More importantly, I've grown.
