Sorry I haven't posted for awhile! Here you go... Here goes it!
Memories. Some bitter and some sweet. But they all thread into one reminder; of the days when you were younger. Oh, to be young again! Memories of when there was nothing but time, and never a clock around to remind you of the minutes ticking. With the Y generation flexing their spending power in an economic turndown that means little to them, and the generation still being in the age where youth was just days ago, we could potentially see a trend in youthful product spending. “Adult-size” toys for a booming generation of spenders; sports cars and motorcycles (think matchbox), purchasing and remodeling foreclosed homes (think leggo’s), and oversized necklaces and earrings (think Barbie) to name just a few. And how about that pesky issue of time? It keeps getting away from us, and we all need a method to keep track of it. Why not make it fun and youthful? I believe there will be a big push for colorful, youthful watches for women. Think Swatch, but more updated. These more colorful bands will be constructed in semi-clear plastic, or dress it up with the classic, silver band. Think larger print with exciting, colorful fonts for the number dials. Go ahead. Time it.

Flannels
are back; we are all witnesses to it. Button-down, plaid goodness. Take no
shame when pulling out the Christmas card from 1989. It's as if the last 20
years never happened. Past becomes the present. So what’s happening next within
this trend? My guess is that we are going to begin to see women’s
overalls…again. Before you run to the hills, crying from the memory of the
unflattering denim I speak of, I am referring to a re-vamped version of the
overall. So toss that toothpick,... Continue reading...

It
is all that anyone can talk about. The economy is down. The economy has
plummeted. The economy is at it's lowest in years. Who really wants to be apart
of that? Not me, not any of us. So how do we rise above it? How do we show that
our economical status remains unaffected by the repression we are all denying
partial participation in?
Fashion.
Oh yes, fashion. When the going gets rough, buy the fancy at a discounted
price. For instance, gaudy jewelry is on the rise. Who said rhinestone... Continue reading...

It's becoming soup, this world. We start with the freshest ingredients, chopped into the most delicious chunks, separated into flavors of goodness. And then each ingredient is tossed into the mixing pot as the chicken broth swirls around. As oil lines leave circular trails through the murky waters, ingredients rise to the surface. But every minute, it gets murkier and murkier. More ingredients get added. Where does it end? When do you suddenly realize the soup is ready? That it is complete? A... Continue reading...

And so it begins. Traveling to Seattle and LA, waking up at 4 am, rubbing tired eyes and knocking the sleep from them, I am walking through the South Bay Galleria with the Nordstrom Key Account Sales Rep, aka my team, my leader, my mentor. I suddenly had an urge to share with her something I have not shared with many. Bravery? I think yes. I dream to one day predict trends. And so begins this journey. With a little coddling, I will begin this journal. A journal of my dreams into the journey ... Continue reading...

About Me
Born in the 80's, when the crazy fashion got crazier to counteract the conservatism and politics, and technology took a giant leap forward (think 40 lb Apple), and scrunchies littered permed hair across the nation, a baby girl was born. That's where I enter the world. 25 years later, with tiaras and fru fru skirts behind me (or are they?), I have grown. With passion for success, I have traveled the world, achieved two degrees (they even gave me a Valedictorian nomination for one - what were they possibly thinking?), lived in San Francisco, LA, Tahoe... And now I have come to live in Sonoma. A stepping stone? Yes. Always a stepping stone in my life. Whether it is two steps forward, or one step back, we all do our best to find our place in the world. This is my journey. To see more about me, visit my resume, my portfolio, my blogs...You might just find what you're looking for.
