Tallulah has been going through a trying time medically. Get the full story here. Any help would be greatly appreciated. I love this little fur-baby more than I ever thought possible. 

A Moment of Dreamy Designer Shoes

Neiman Marcus brings to mind wonderful, shoe-rrifc memories. I associate it with graduation and growing up. One day, pre-ceremony, my mom took me to this famous department store, full of designer goodies. It felt like a momentous occasion. I glimpsed the glamorous shoes that lay in each lovely corner. As a fan of fashion, it made me to happy to sit among the bright, high-end accessories. That day, we were on a fabulous mission. She wanted me to own Chanel flats, the kind that go with everything. We left with beautiful ballerina slippers and a pair of glittery Guccis on sale. They were a gift, nay a symbol, for newfound adulthood. The extravagance and glamour of the shoes brought me to tears as my mom handed me this gift. There are bloggers who own designer everything, but it may seem silly, as a thrifter and dealmaker, being handed a beautiful designer item meant the world to me, especially at that age.

Although Chanel doesn't sell online, I gathered my current favorite shoes on the Neiman's website.

Getting My Groove Back

This year had some ups and downs. The job search was tough, but I also traveled with mom and spent holidays with family. Right now, I'm dealing with a mysterious medical situation involving Tallulah. It's crazy stressful, but getting better day by day. Keep your fingers crossed!

Due to stress and holiday treats, I definitely put on weight. It doesn't feel great to grow out of my fabulous dresses. Voodoo Vixen sent me this look and, although it's currently snug, the silhouette made me feel sexy at a time I needed it most. I usually go for A-line silhouettes, but this dress made me feel good about my curves at any size.

I'm really excited for the new year and planning new projects! I hope to get more involved online and "get my groove back" in a number of ways.
