From The Editor: "I can't whistle or wink!"
I've been tagged by Boutique Mix to post 7 random facts about myself. Well since I'm new to the whole Meme thing and am pretty sure that I'm probably the last person to get tagged. I am going to switch it up a little bit. I will post 7 random facts about myself and 1 quote. Yes, I'm changing the Meme. I have no idea if this is legal or not. I may get arrested by the Meme police but I'm willing to take that chance. So read on for 7 random facts about me, 5 which are quite embarrassing I might add...
Random Fact #1: My best friend is my dog Maji. She's half pit-bull and half chow chow. I rescued her eight years ago from some guys that were going to use her as a fighting dog (think Micheal Vick). I admit, she can be a little aggressive at times, but she's such a sweetie to me!
Random Fact #2: My favorite movie of all time is Steel Magnolias (knock it was on last night). I can't even tell you how many time I've seen this movie. At one point I had actually memorized every word line for line. You've just gotta love Trudy!
Random Fact #3: I have this habit of writing my name over and over again in cursive when I'm bored.
Random Fact #4: I can't whistle or wink!
Random Fact #5: I had trouble determining right from left for the longest time! In fact I didn't solidify the difference between right and left until high school when I started driving! I know pathetic. My excuse? I actually believe that I missed that day in the first grade. They never went over it again!
Random Fact #6: My very first boyfriend now lives in New York with his lover! He was the first boy I kissed in the fourth grade when he got off the bus and ran to my house to confess his love for me! He picked some flowers from my mothers rose garden and gave them to me and then we kissed (g-rated)! Yes it was magic! Throughout junior high and high school are romance remained platonic. We both took vows during our junior proms to save ourselves until marriage. I recently found out he lives in the NYC with his lover of five years! If only I had seduced him in high school... LOL!
Random Fact #7: My favorite place to shop? Thrift stores. I guess there's just something about being able to walk into a store and knowing that absolutely nothing is out of your price range. On rainy days I'll got to a consignment or goodwill store and literally spend hours just shifting through the racks looking for great pieces to add to my wardrobe. Hands down, my favorite finds are usually accessories. I love vintage jewelry, belts, scarfs and handbags. Of course every now and then a store attendant completely drops the ball and prices a designer item at a price much too low. My most recent score, a classic Chanel white quilted handbag for twelve dollars!

What I Just Bought: Easy Glamorous Pieces at Pink Mascara
As I gear up for the warm weather of summer I am looking for pieces which are glamorous yet low maintenance. This summer proves to be ultra low-key and fun as I plan to embark on getaways to sunny Sedona, vibrant Vegas, and Puerto Vallarta, Mexico. When I'm not traveling abound, relaxation will take precedence on summer weekends. Weekend jaunts will include The Cape, The Hamptons and New York City weekends shopping in Soho, dancing in the Lower Eastside and brunching in New York's infamous sixth district, Hoboken.

The beauty of this piece is it's versatility. Whether it's paired with one of Springs fun printed skirts, trousers and heels, or simply worn with a cover-up on the beach, this swimsuit sets the stage for easy glamour. It's even great for worn with just a sun hat and heels while strolling around those sexy poolside bars in Vegas. Plus I'm absolutely crazy about canary so this piece is a must-have all the way!

My philosophy on handbags, invest in a high quality bag in a neutral hue yet trendy shape, which can be easily carried day after day with regaled affection. Purchase fun and funky styles in the form of clutches and canvas totes. I have been on the hunt for a versatile Spring bag for some time now! Don't get me wrong I love my Botkier but hey now that the sun is shining brightly it really is time to retire my gray leather bag for a more fun functional style in a lighter hue.

This is one of those statement pieces that just says it all. I have always been a big fan of Milly but this is my first official piece from the designer and I just adore it. I think the beautiful print as well as the gold coin embellishment sets just the perfect balance between easy and glamorous that I plan on delivering this season. It's perfect paired simply with a flat metallic sandals, wind-blown hair and a sun-kissed face. I can't wait to wear this dress!

Shoes are usually my one weakness! This year I've actually done a remarkable job at keeping shoe purchases to a minimum. Albeit, I have grown quite accustomed to purchasing "investment" shoes in classic hues like black, brown, and tan. I figured with the warm weather upon us it was definitely time to kick off my "functional" Ellen Tracy's for a more carefree and stylish sandal.

What To Wear: Sex and The City Style
-
Carrie (Sarah Jessica Parker) is fearlessly fashionable: her style ranges from uptown chic to whimsy to sex kitten. Stilettos are a staple, and Field mixes designer with flea market finds for Carrie's unique look. Samantha (Kim Cattrall) wears sexy styles that exude confidence. She is a Woman (with a capital "W") and the message comes across loud and clear through strong styles and bold color. Charlotte (Kristin Davis) has a sweet, preppy style that is always accompanied by the proper bag and shoes. Bows, cute prints and feminine styles play up the kind nature of her character. Miranda (Cynthia Nixon) looks like a very well-dressed career gal with chic corporate suits and etheral styles. The Sex and The City movie premiers May 30th. Click to enlarge images.

The Sex and the City Countdown: Are you a Carrie, Samantha, Charlotte or Miranda ?
-
Are you a Carrie, Samantha, Charlotte or Miranda? Turns out that question isn't so black and white. In anticipation of the highly anticipated Sex and the City premier on May 30th, I-Village has posted a quiz on thier website, powered by Astrology.com. Turns out I'm a hybrid Miranda-Carrie-Samantha-Charlotte. Here are my pragmatic results:
You scored 30% Miranda. You chose many of the same answers that Earth Sign-like Miranda, the cynical but pragmatic lawyer, might have chosen. Just like Miranda's had a tough time deciding whether to give in to the affections of Steve the Bartender, you don't give your heart up to just anyone. Miranda shies away from a relationship with Steve because he's 'just' a bartender, not something more conventionally ambitious or stable. Those with powerful Earth Sign qualities -- characteristics associated with Taurus, Virgo and Capricorn -- are cautious in love and seek stability and status over nearly anything else. Earth Signs provide a steady, realistic attitude and they can bring order out of chaos. A little-known Earth Sign fact: Incredibly sensual, you seethe beneath that smart, expensive business suit of yours, yearning for intimacy but hesitant to give up your material needs, your career ambitions or your responsibilities for a passionate moment that might not turn out the way you'd hope.
You scored 30% Carrie. Your answers peg you as a Carrie-type, much influenced by the Air Sign qualities associated with Gemini, Libra and Aquarius. Like confident Carrie, a sex columnist, you're curious and perceptive, always seeking answers and never satisfied with the superficial. An Air Sign influence can lead to indecision and an avoidance of tough issues, like with Carrie and her on-again, off-again attachment to Mr. Big. Forward-thinking, incredibly intelligent and witty, you just exude quirky charm. You'd be utterly bored by someone who's just a pretty face or hot body -- though you don't mind looking and flirting! You're more turned on by an equally smart and funny mate, someone who challenges your mind and makes you laugh. You love to talk, so you need a good listener who's open to playful and eccentric ideas about love and lovemaking.
You scored 20% Samantha. You identify with Samantha's bold and liberated Fire Sign qualities, characteristics associated with the Signs of Aries, Leo and Sagittarius. You're strong, audacious and larger than life -- and you take what you want! Sometimes you can even be thoughtless and selfish, as you get so caught up in craving immediate gratification and excitement that you overlook someone's feelings. Your personal style likely reflects your desires: sleek, low-cut, revealing just a bit more than might be considered acceptable. Watch that you're not coming on too strong, though. You could scare potential suitors off with all your drama. If you seek so much attention, the more basic qualities of the Fire Signs could be burned right out of the picture. Show less skin or cleavage and more of your creativity, your vibrant leadership skills and courageous generosity!
You scored 20% Charlotte. A romantic at heart, you chose the answers that demure Charlotte may have chosen. Strongly influenced by the intuitive, profound and sometimes naïve Water Signs -- Cancer, Scorpio and Pisces -- you're like a mother, a mystery and a poet all in one. Though on the surface you may seem innocent and all about seeking the good in people, beneath the surface, you hide secret yearnings for intimacy, for attachment and ideal love. You're seeking a knight in shining armor, a soul mate, someone who will complete you and tether you to the earth when you get carried away with your fantasies. You're super-sensitive, soaking up the moods of others; you emote freely, crying at commercials and sappy movies. You also provide a shoulder to cry on and open arms for hugs. Be careful that you're not so wide-eyed and trusting that you get taken in by some cunning wolf in sheep's clothing.

You're more turned on by an equally smart and funny mate, someone who challenges your mind and makes you laugh. You love to talk, so you need a good listener who's open to playful and eccentric ideas about love and lovemaking.
You scored 20% Samantha. You identify with Samantha's bold and liberated Fire Sign qualities, characteristics associated with the Signs of Aries, Leo and Sagittarius. You're strong, audacious and larger than life -- and you take what you want! Sometimes you can even be thoughtless and selfish, as you get so caught up in craving immediate gratification and excitement that you overlook someone's feelings. Your personal style likely reflects your desires: sleek, low-cut, revealing just a bit more than might be considered acceptable. Watch that you're not coming on too strong, though. You could scare potential suitors off with all your drama. If you seek so much attention, the more basic qualities of the Fire Signs could be burned right out of the picture. Show less skin or cleavage and more of your creativity, your vibrant leadership skills and courageous generosity!
You scored 20% Charlotte. A romantic at heart, you chose the answers that demure Charlotte may have chosen. Strongly influenced by the intuitive, profound and sometimes naïve Water Signs -- Cancer, Scorpio and Pisces -- you're like a mother, a mystery and a poet all in one. Though on the surface you may seem innocent and all about seeking the good in people, beneath the surface, you hide secret yearnings for intimacy, for attachment and ideal love. You're seeking a knight in shining armor, a soul mate, someone who will complete you and tether you to the earth when you get carried away with your fantasies. You're super-sensitive, soaking up the moods of others; you emote freely, crying at commercials and sappy movies. You also provide a shoulder to cry on and open arms for hugs. Be careful that you're not so wide-eyed and trusting that you get taken in by some cunning wolf in sheep's clothing.

From The Editor: “It’s my birthday I can cry if I want to…”
Today’s my birthday and with that special personal event comes an array of emotions. Emotions ranging from the wonderment of life to the disappointment of missed opportunities as well as the excitement of the anticipated future and what prospects it may bring. Accompanying these emotions, is the desire to receive love and adoration from those that mean the most to me. This desire is soon illuminated in a phone call from both of my parents swooning over how “they’ve watched their little girl grow up”. I’m the baby in the family and they waste no time reminding me of that “I will always be the baby no matter how old I am”, to the sweet phone calls from my charming niece and nephew as they sing “happy birthday” in unison. Although these birthday wishes are somewhat traditional they just never seem to get old. Feeling loved and appreciated remains splendid.
And alas as the sun peaks from out the clouds corner and begins to light it rays on a faultless day I am positive that today is going to be perfect.
Have a Beautiful Day!

"How Do I Look?"
When you meet someone for the first time - whether it is a new client, or a potential date - they often subconsciously assess "who" you are in less than 20 seconds. Before you even have a chance to smile or say hello, they have already made many decisions about who you are, and what you are capable of doing.
Are they dismissing you out of hand because of how you look?
Would you like your image to enhance your career?
How would you feel if your image could open more doors for you?
Wouldn’t it be nice to be more comfortable in social situations?
Would you like to learn how to take your business or sales to the next level?
Can you imagine what it would be like if customers or employees took you more seriously?
Wouldn’t it be great to know that your image adds to, not detracts from who you really are?
The attitude that comes with a polished appearance, including your outfit and hair style creates an instant impression and an instant judgment about who you are. When you know that you have sought the help of a professional fashion consultant, you project an image of confidence and authority, and you are far more likely to succeed in both your business and casual relationships.
We schedule a one hour fashion consultation to evaluate your current style (this consultation can be done in-person, online or via telephone). Wardrobe and beauty recommendations will be provided, tailoring a plan just for you. To prepare for your personal transformation, you will be provided with an in-depth questionnaire to complete.
To get started, Email us at info@apresentaconcept.com.
