{something about me}

happy sunday hunnies!

hope your weekend has been lovely.

two weeks ago thee wonderful miss erin was awarded for her fabulous blog filled with life's treasures such as family and friends with touches of flowers and her love for knitting. make sure you visit dropped stitches to find out more about miss erin, her blog is filled with enjoyable reading material and fantastic images to match.

i am delighted and honored to say that miss erin has sweetly and graciously passed on her award "the versatile blogger" to le passion for fashion and cannot thank her enough for having thought of me that way. 

gazillion thank you's miss erin ♥

with this award comes a fun little task of having to divulge you with some facts, seven to be exact, you may not know about little ol' me which i'll try to keep fashion related as much as i can.......

1. as miss erin i too know how to crochet and love it. find it fun and a perfect stress reliever. just haven't done much of it lately. i've even found a great place to gather with likes alike for an evening of crocheting and making friends at the famous la knitterie parisienne. i thank my grandma mona for my first knitting lessons starting with granny squares.

2. when i was little maybe 6, 7 or 8, i'm sorry don't remember the exact age but somewhere in that range i experienced my first high heel feel and walk which only lasted for a moment. my step-grandmother, mom and i were all delighted and in love with the idea of little girl me in my first heels but my step-dad (RIP) was no happy camper, he opposed by saying i was too young for them and asked both his mom and my mom to take them off and return them. you may think this was a bittersweet moment, but not all, i love my step-daddy who was more of a father to me (that is another story though), i don't even remember being sad or mad or even throwing a tantrum over my step-dad's decision. in fact i appreciate him looking out for me in this way and in wanting me just be me at that time, a little girl.

3. miss erin shared her first job, so i guess it is safe to say that mine was at chuck e. cheese's, how fashionable is that? he he. and no i never dressed up as chuck e. for kid's parties as much as my hubby and some of my friends may like to joke, but i did take robin williams son's birthday reservation and even got to see him in person, wearing a yellow rain jacket, funny thing i don't remember rain that day.

4. i'll confess i'm a glossie junkie. love them much, i've decided to become a subscriber to most of them since they are less expensive this way.

5. madonna! my favorite icon till this day...as a teen i listened to her music religiously and tried to emulate her by dressing in black, wearing black rubber bracelets, crucifix jewelry and aqua net teased hair

      6. although nothing became of it, it was time well spent on my weekends as a teenager when i attended modeling school. i still have fond memories of those days, my teacher was sweet as a dove who taught us how to pivot and pose, how to coordinate and create great looking outfits and most of all poise and elegance.

7. as much as i love black...yellow seems to touch and fill me with charm. maybe it has to do with our current season or maybe not. whatever it may be i cannot have enough of it and already find myself buying and buying more of it when out shopping.
