Miz Moss has been one of my all time favorite fashion inspirations to date. Embodying a frame of 5′ 7.5″ in a business of Glam-o-zons that tower over her petite frame, she has managed to make millions. You look at her & one can understand why.  Cruising around recently on this blog dedicated to the Icon, I couldn’t help but notice photo after photo where KM had a glass of champagne & a cigarette or just the cigarette in her hand. It made me want to run to the nearest 7-11 and buy a pack of smokes and then plop myself down with a bottle of bubbly. In those moments looking at those pictures, I realized that I wanted to relive “my old story,” the one where I kept searching for that glamourous life outside myself. {PSST…its all here inside my petite 5′ 5.5″ frame} I kept hearing myself say, “Kate Makes It Look So Damn Glamourous!”  I even called a friend & his response was, “Yah, the visuals are cool aren’t they?”

Several years ago I made a conscious choice to change my lifestyle. Too many late nights, not enough attention to the details in my life & I was deeply missing a consistent yoga & meditation practice. That tired feeling in the morning was no longer serving me. SO, I decide to challenge myself &  it is the best thing I have ever made a commitment to. I realized that it was hard to show up for anyone else when you can’t even do it for yourself.

I am living a life of optimum health, one of PERSONAL EXCELLENCE, being the best that I can be. It all starts with you! If you want to be of service to others, you first need to be of service to yourself.

SO Kate,  you do make it look so damn glamourous but I know the truth & how that glamourous life feels &  living your own TRUTH my friend, is more powerful than glamour! I’ll take this BEAUTIFUL life any ole’ day!

Why don’t you give it a try? Start with a 30 day challenge & see where it leads you! Chances are you will not be disappointed.

The Latest Obsession with the woman at the other end of this computer IS the play on {PATTERNS & TEXTURES}

When it comes to such a topic, are you brave enough to push the envelope or do you coward down to the same ole combinations day in & day out? Uniforms are essential but the manner in which we combine makes all the difference when it comes to a fresh spark!

Friday Fashion {LOVE}

Recently cruising around the internet, I took a fancy to this series of fashion images. The play on color, pattern & texture are divine and create whimsy to the feel of these photographs.

Love The Hair {Looks like batting from your local fabric shop was interlaced through out!} Superb!

I find it necessary to revisit the not so practical side of fashion, to spark the imagination & creativity of the brain. Take this fuel and then apply into the everyday. Perhaps it is the manner in which we stack some bracelets or mix patterns after close observation of this “form-does-not-follow-function” way of fashion. The cues for creating are everywhere. Either way, fashion should always be FUN!

The Ides Of March are upon us next month which will mark the one year anniversary of this blog. Do you remember the first post? Hard to believe a whole year has gone by, right!?  This woman kept a diligent pace for you all year until this month. Computer glitches reared their ugly head plus sometimes the events of life just get in the way. I am excited for 2012 and to experience this thing called life & to see where it takes us. You will come along for the ride, won’t you? It wouldn’t be the same with out you!
