Trust me: I'm smiling BIG-TIME on the inside. I recently wore my newest favorite outfit, cobbled together by two of my most recent purchases- a grand vintage straw hat from the charming Crimson & Clover boutique AND a bitchin' striped blouse from the new Goodwill that opened last week in Midtown. I feel at once modern and vintage, with some sort of Renoir-esque retro thrown in for good measure. The outfit was comfortable and looked sharp- so you know I loved it!

As of late, there's been a lot of opportunities in development, and while I want to wait a bit to officially share it all with you, let's just say I've got some tasty tidbits on my plate and I am looking forward

"Life is short. Break the rules, forgive quickly, kiss slowly, love truly, laugh uncontrollably, and never regret anything that made you smile. Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things you didn’t do than by the ones you did."

Yeah, babies: I don't feel like coloring inside the lines. 

I've been feeling a bit spread thin as of late. Not that life isn't buttering my toast both sides so to speak, but it seems what I've got on my plate is making me lose my focus. And it's been showing in my blog, which seems to have veered off from its fashion focus and is stumbling off the beaten path of, uh, other things, like personal, I guess.  Not sure what. I think I'm working some stuff out. Hope you can bear with.

Firstly, let me say a big HULLO to my new readers and followers! I feel I don't thank you all enough for stopping by my blog, and actually reading the stuff, and for which I AM VERY GRATEFUL! Thank you so much, dear people for getting to know me, and letting me get to know you. I'm now at a generous +300 followers and subscribers, and I am terribly fond of all of you!

If you have been keeping tabs on the 'bud, you of course know that my wo-manifest destiny has taken a turn into the world of freelance & self-employment, and so I have put my moolah where my mouth has been (NOT A PLEASANT VISUAL, TRUST ME) and plunked myself down in a hospitable new abode for the Citizen Rosebud Head Quarters. I've been busy packing, moving and unpacking lately, and I am FEELING REALLY GOOD about my new place! When it is all up and running I'm going to have an open house and of course blog about it. In the meantime, please enjoy these snapshots taken from my iPhone:
