School Picture Day

I jokingly have been calling today, School Picture Day, because for the first time in nearly 10 years the entire museum staff had a group shot taken by a professional photographer. We also had departmental pictures, senior staff and individual head shots taken.
...so what do you wear on the day the day that your picture is going to be taken...the picture that needs to last at least 10 years?
I went with something classic, yet colorful and fun. ...i.e. a lot of J.Crew with lots of pearls and fierce heels.
I also switched out my work bag (something I do about once every 2 weeks or so) from my light blue
Jelly Kelly to my big pink leather Kate Spade tote.

I also started putting the final touches on our trip to Dallas this weekend...and continue to work on the two bags. Busy day!

I also want to give a BIG BIG shout out to two talented bloggers who recently gave me a shout out. The great and talented Ms. Kristin Pearce who's blog I love to read everyday and to the lovely Stylestance Blog a chic and fun look at how to bring a daily dose of style into your life. So a special thanks to these two talented women. Take a look on their blogs, and read the fun they have to offer.

One of my dear and talented friends...who also writes a great blog...Kristin Pearce is having a trunk show in her home today and tomorrow.

Kristin makes the most beautiful pieces of jewelry which she sells on her etsy shop ( http://www.etsy.com/shop.php?user_id=5562104 ) and at several shops around town and in corners of the states.

I always rely on her for great pieces that I know I will have for the rest of my life.

If you want to know more about the trunk show--- email me.

What to wear...what to wear...

Ok--First I want to say I just spent nearly 9 hours with the Miami-Dade County Commissioners public budget hearing. ...so if this doesn't make too much sense...sorry.

Anyhow...some of you may know that other than art and my work at the museum the other thing outside of my family and friends that make me happy is...fashion.

People have been asking me, "What are you going to wear?"...well I am wearing something very special to me.

My dress is of my own design, hand made in Managua, Nicaragua.

My necklaces, bracelets and earrings are handmade by Kristin Pearce, a dear friend and talented designer here in Miami. You should take a look at her etsy shop for treasures you can call your own.

Tomorrow morning I will be hanging the show at 9:00am...and then I will be arriving at Books and Books at around 5:45pm. I am beyond excited and overjoyed at the support I have received from you all this summer. I can't wait to share tomorrow night with you...and if you cannot be there physically I know you will be in spirit.

So thanks! I will try and blog before the opening...if not you know I will after.

Cheers!
