Hey guys
I wanted to take this opportunity to give you guys an update on my personal life..
I AM PREGNANT AND EXPECTING TRIPLETS
Haaaa just kidding
No really I’m kidding, I’m not pregnant.
On a serious note (not that triplets aren’t serious ? nevermind), I wanted to apologize for the scarce posts this week. I’ve actually taken on too many projects (shocker), bit more than I could chew and now I’m having a hard time swallowing.
One project consists of me partnering up with my mother on her export business. She sells [adorable] baby clothes to women in Brazil and I am now pulling looks and selling adult clothes along with her. (She was doing so well that I practically begged her to quit her day job of which she did).
I was explaining to a friend today, that selling to these girls is not the same buy/sell approach of say eBay or Etsy. It’s like an online community and the clients almost demand in having a relationship with their sellers. For the most part, there is a lot of chatting, a lot of catching up and then you finally talk business and exchange payments/merchandise. SO you can imagine where a good chunk of mine has gone this week !
But on a another note, DirtyLace.com is still very much my baby and top priority. And I have some exciting projects coming up for it ! (Which includes a super cute/awesome DIY for mother’s day)
Another project is that a dear friend of mine is traveling to Italy (let’s take a moment to be intensely jealous of her…..aaannd done) and has asked me to be her “JetSet Stylist” - which I love not only the unofficial title, but of course the ability to style someone for a long trip to ITALY ! So you can expect a lot of photos documenting this project :)
In the meantime, SOMETHING TO TRY THIS WEEKEND : ANYTHING NEW
Let’s forget fashion for a second…In light of this post and recent events, there’s a lot of “new” in my life. And new is good! New makes you see the old in a new light. When reevaluating the old, it helps you decide if it’s something you want to keep or replace for the new.
And by all means take this literally (like new workout clothes to help re-motivate you in staying healthy) or figuratively (like a new mental state to help you tackle an issue with a new perspective). And make it big or small ! Whether it’s something small like trying an Irish Carbomb (which I SO planned to do as this week’s post) or something big like changing your career path.
NEW IS GOOD.
Happy weekend
Love, DLace
