Ok for anyone that knows me, I get obsessed with things really easily. Most of the time, I get obsessed with really stupid things that no one cares about. Case and point this new sweatshirt dress that I bought at Old Navy over the weekend. I can’t stop talking about it because it is the most perfect specimen of clothing. It feels like you are wearing your favorite over-sized, worn-in sweatshirt only it looks like a normal dress, so it is socially acceptable to wear to work. I wore it meet with a potential new client yesterday.

I keep promising more fashion posts, and then it basically doesn’t happen. Why doesn’t it happen? 1) I was not born to be a model. I had a very short lived, awkward career trying to break into the world of “plus size” modeling (definitely a story for another time). I hate poising and I laugh when people take my pic. Yeah, thank god I am good at PR because my modeling career would have never worked out. 2) I love fashion, but I hate getting dressed. I have been this way my whole life…I would much rather get that extra
Now, that she is actually in law school, it freaks me out how fast time As a follow-up to the lamp I gussied up with a little decoupage, I give you a nightstand to place it on. No hardware required. This is a project that can fill any crafter’s desire. All you really need to know are the materials I used to construct it, then you can be on your way… Materials: Wooden crate from Michael’s Crafts (I used one of the 40% off coupons you can find online for this) 4 Wooden blocks (2″x2″) Wood glue Mod Podge Sponge brush Book pages or other paper materials to decoupage I was going to wake up early, and get work done…didn’t happen. It is a rainy Sunday morning, so I have an excuse! I have just been sitting here for hours surfing the web, and I came across this NY Times article, “Four Executives on Succeeding in Business as a Woman,” by Adam Bryant. It is a long article, so I am here to make everyone’s life easier, by giving you the Cliff Notes version. I think each of the four women interviewed gave killer advice, so below are my favorite tidbits. Amy Schulman (Pfizer): Executive I have been doing a lot of speaking at PRSSA chapters around the country; it has seriously been awesome to see so many people excited about PR. Honestly, before I started doing these speaking gigs, I was going through an “over it phase”. When I woke up each morning, I just wasn’t all that excited about my job anymore. This is really bad when you own your own business, and a major key to success is being positive and energized. Needless to say, talking with college students that are excited about their careers is REALLY infectious. I have been getting I am a very unorganized person. I have always been, and I probably always will be. To me, organizing and cleaning seem like a waste of time. When I have a few extra moments, I could watch all my TiVoed episodes of Real Housewives or I could be a responsible adult, and organize all my business files and clean up my apartment. I will give you one guess about which one I always pick. With that being said, I am always looking for easy ways to keep my life organized. The reality is if I continue to grow my business, I am all sorts of sucking at life today. I went to ACL this weekend, and for any of you that know about ACL, it is a marathon music festival: 3 days and hundreds of bands. Needless to say, I am not really functioning today; it was totally worth it though. I wasn’t going to do a blog post today because I need to focus on my real job (aka my bank account is looking pretty sad). Just so you understand the intensity of ACL, this picture pretty much sums it up (photo credit: Crissy Borges). Read More I am seriously determined to make #letsbrag a thing. Why? Because I think it is important for us girls to share our accomplishments, and truly be proud of the things we have achieved. There is a big difference between being proud and excited when you do something awesome vs. being boisterous and obnoxious. I was super excited to that Nicole from writes like a girl did a post this morning about the things she is proud of in her life. I wanted to make sure y’all see it, so click here!!!!!! Also, while you If you work in PR, it is essentially part of your job to stay informed. There are a few PR blogs that I peruse every morning to get new tips, ideas and recommendations. I thought I would share them will y’all! Let me know if I am missing any must-reads. 1) PR Couture This is the perfect place for all of us fashion PR girls. I love that PR Couture is a marketplace of contributors sharing their two-cents; every time I look through it, I always find tons of tips that I can use to make my business |
