Since being at LGFW and seeing a few SS/12 collections AND booking our honeymoon (woot woot), I am thinking ahead to Spring/Summer. I know summer just ended and we still have to endure the entire winter, but it's fun to dream right? I'm looking forward to a romantic Spring with long flowy skirts and soft pastels.

So I know I said I was going to be more open on this here blog, but some things just aren't meant to be shared... like pink eye. My eye was so puffy and red yesterday and I was still 'contagious' this morning until noon, so I stayed home from work today. I've got this baby on lock down since I can't wear makeup, so here's a chill-out, "sick day" outfit for you.

I know blogs are supposed to make us happy and give us something fun to look at while we struggle through another day at work. But I have made a conscious decision to be a more REAL blogger, not just pretend that life is all sunshine and rainbows, but discuss real life issues. You can't get to the rainbow unless you weather through the storm, right?

Well today, I feel so sick that I literally feel like I'm going to vomit. And not because I have the flu ('bin, there done that), but because a dear friend of mine is going through some really crappy life stuff and I can't do anything to help. I hate the feeling of helplessness and not having the right words to say. I have known this friend since I was 5, and since going through certain difficulties, she has seperated herself from family and friends that love her. I just don't know what else to do but pray, and I know that since prayer can do amazing things, I'm reaching out to you. So please, if you would just say a short little prayer for those that are caught up in difficult circumstances, I know we could make a difference in their lives.

Thank you.

I am not a big cake fan, and never envisioned myself having a typical wedding cake. I am more of a tart...fan. But after seeing cakes like these beauties, I am wondering what to do. I still might go with a combination of cupcakes and a small cake. Stayed tuned to see what we decide. Oooh the suspense.

Since I am not directly involved in the Fashion Industry but read about it daily, I get a little excited to see celebrities such as Jeanne Beker (who was sitting in front of me), Jay Manuel, model Yasmin Warsame, and a few others. I also got a hello from Joe Mimran, designer for Joe Fresh. Here's a few photos and some from my complete outfit from the night.

I got invited to the opening night of LGFW S/S.12 by the lovely Danielle from Hellodenj.
The opening show was held by some of Holt Renfrew's top designers, so here's a few snapshots from the show.
