I’m a southern belle living on the west coast.  I was born and raised in a small town in the great state of Tennessee.  I’ve been in Bend now for seven years and I love it!  I don’t work in the fashion indsutry, but I breathe all things fashion.  I spend so much time on my favorite fashion blogs, reading all the fashion magazines (my favorite is Lucky, Glamour, and Allure), or out about in Bend shopping around for great finds.  I love to check out the high-end labels such as Marc Jacobs, Louis Vuitton, Chanel, Fendi, YSL, and Dior; however, since I live on a budget, I usually set out to find look-alikes of the big labels for a bargain. (Sometimes I get lucky and happen upon the real thing at TJ Maxx for half the price on one of my haunts–yay!) I also love beauty products, particularly make-up.  I have more make-up than I could use in a month but, hey, a girl’s gotta have options!  I could spend a couple hours in the beauty aisles at the department stores and I sometimes do.  I’ll do whatever I have to do in the name of fashion and beauty!  *** Fashion is in the sky, in the street, fashion has to do with ideas, the way we live, what is happening. –CoCo Chanel ***
