THIS IS A PUBLIC SERVICE ANNOUNCEMENT * throws glitter confetti*
I know, I know, things have been a little dry around these parts. What can I say I got busy, life was in overdrive, I had to redo my floors (*ahem I'm a midtown renter ahem*), the dog ate my homework...stop... In all honesty I've been focusing on wrapping my pretty little natural hair vintage loving head around what it means to be an entrepreneur (if you missed it I opened an online vintage boutique over HERE). Thus, my lovely little piece of internet reality got tabled. Alas, it's a new year and, dare I say it, a new me. I've refound my passion for writing and sharing it with the masses and I've rediscovered my love of the electic fashion life.
Expect some new things to emerge on that's so chic. Hopefully I haven't lost all of my wonderful readers, and for those who just happened to find me cause I had a I LOVE KATE SPADE moment last year, or I gave my previous little heart over to sephora and ulta during the spring and had copious beauty posts, WELCOME. There is soo much more thrift amour posts up my sleeve, interior loves to share, and of course beauty crushes to be had.
Check out my guest post on KPFusion where I offer 10 thrifting tips to make everyone a super chic thrifter.

This blog began as my outlet to share my passion for a fashionable lifestyle. As I have gone on this journey I have deepened my understanding and drive towards my love for all things stylish not too mention soo many opportunities have come my way.

I truly hope that the site is more stream lined and less cluttered. As always, as I grow, so will this blog, so this will forever be a work in progress. I am excited to offer new types of posts and resurface some oldie but goodies that I sort of have fallen by the wayside. With a new name, depicting the essence of who I am and what the blog is about, I am excited to continue to bring beauty and style tips that are budget friendly and that are so chic.

While perusing my favorite blogs I came across this post by the fabulous Jillian of NuSophisticate. She has decided to offer a $500 scholarship to one lucky fashionista. To enter, the scholarship hopeful most be enrolled in an institution of higher education (fashion school, college, grad-school is all applicable) and post one picture in their most style worthy ensemble. Once the entries are posted Jillian will let her readers vote on their favorite entry. The catch is, in order for the contest to be held, those interested have to submit an email expressing their interest in participating. If enough people express interest, the contest is on. So ladies, get those emails in. As Jillian so appropriately stated, $500 can go a long way on on things such as funds for books or a pair of fab new shoes, both of which are necessities for any college diva.
