Bonjour Mon Ami!

Welcome to my blog filled with fashion, shopping and everything in between.
I have had a passion for fashion since before I could say Audrey Hepburn.  But not every toddler can afford expensive kitten heels like Suri Cruise. Yes... I was that child wearing a Minnie Mouse sweatshirt with stir-ups and dirty jelly sandals.  Thank goodness I eventually took control over what I was clothed in, but it didn't happen until I was 12.  

In my tween years I would rummage through my mothers closet (like many other little girls) and found something that changed my world... vintage!  black suede knee high boots and turquoise floral shirts from the 70's.  It was then that I learned that a label is not everything.  Where do you think the designers  inspiration came from?  It's from the game changers, the movers and the shakers and the risk takers.  It's from the generations of women that came out with individual beauty, trendy style and made it their own.  

 Over the years I've developed a type of talent (not to toot my own horn) for finding clothing that has the appearance of designer, but with a lower price tag.  
Through this blog I will share the love I have for clothing and accessories with others and how/where to find pieces in a reasonable price range. 

Fellow fashion lovers all around, do not feel discouraged.  I have just as much respect and love for design as the next person. Which is why I will post my favorite designer pieces while we fade from one season to the next.  In my eyes, no one will ever paint a dancer like Degas, just like no one will ever make the original "Little Black Dress" like Coco Chanel.  There are some things that won't be capable of capturing the same beauty and life as the original.
