long story...

Whew!!!
I have definitely missed blogging.
Even if its a single word...I intend to write something more often. I doubt content has ever been a problem, so get ready!
Here's a hint...should I mention that in this year alone I have been to Nigeria twice?? A lot of family stuff to deal with.

So needless to say, there is tonnes to blog about!!

Stay tuned...

Updates - Feb 3, 2008

While growing up, I think every single person I know, wanted to be older.
I can't wait to get older so I can go out when I want to.
I can't wait to grow up so I can buy what I want...
I can't wait to grow up and move out...
The list goes on and on.
We are all grown up now and we wonder why we were in such a rush to get older. We can go out now at will, but the problem is figuring out which of the million and one things you want to attend, how long to stay there for, what to wear, what to bring...a whole different set of issues. Being an adult comes with a lot of responsibility.
With Fashion Week upon us in NY, our number one issue right now is how to split ourselves into a million places at once!! Never an easy time. But making it happen is crucial to keeping track of everything.
So to all the tweens out there, enjoy your youth and the fact that there are no pressures on you YET!!! Give it time, its going to come whether you like it or not!!! To all the fashionistas - Welcome to FASHION WEEK!!!

Holiday Sample Sale - till Jan

I know its been AGES!!!! Forgive me!! I havent had the same dedication as I should to blog anymore. But I am making it my new years resolution to be better!!

I have been super , super busy, but I am going to take a quick second to let you guys in on the best kept secret in town. I recently visited my friend's new store right beside Century 21 downtown. Though its not a sample sale per se, it does have sample sale - type pricing. His jeans are all in season...True Religion, Seven's , Citizens of Humanity, Frankie B, Joe's Jeans and much more. Check it out.

The address is 2 Cortlandt Street, 2nd floor off broadway(right next door to Century 21). As long as I have been complaining about getting a pair of True Religions that I really love, I finally bought a pair of them with the help of Stephanie and Kian. Thanks guys!!!!


Please show them some support ...tell them I sent you!

Updates next week!!

Christy Bareijsza and the Versatile Shopper....7/29/07

Even if I cant blog much...I can show what I have been up to, right?

Christy Bareijsza of The Red Carpet Events is one of my best friends and an amazing event planner. Remember that you heard about her here first!! She is well on her way to the top, especially with the calibre of events that she currently has under her belt. Kindly join me in wishing her all the best in the upcoming weeks as she tackles her busiest week ever!!!

Here we are about to go out for a night on the town. Should I mention that all pictures you see of her, were styled by me?? Well, I thought that was obvious!!

What else have I been up to??

Styling and shopping of course!!!

Espy awards 2007!!!

I feel like every post starts with an apology...

And I realized, I needn't apologize for being busy, reading my posts half of the time you can clearly understand exactly how jam -packed life really is for me.

My client was in town again, yay for me!! Pictures should surface tomorrow of him at the ESPY awards,in L.A in which he was nominated!! I think it was for best NFL player or something like that... It will air this weekend (pls don't ask me when, I am too tired to go and check)...This time he was beautifully decked out in an amazing Tuxedo!! Black tux, black shirt (if he didn't change anything ), pocket square, traditional glossy tuxedo shoes...he looked sharp!! Very handsome...(sorry folks, but I cant give it all away...he likes his privacy!!!)

As far as celebs go, I couldn't ask for a better client. He truly is a great person and a pleasure to work with...join me in wishing him well in negotiations...

Thanks to my 2 favorite people who always make sure I have whatever I am looking for...Carl and Hope @ Paul Smith. The both of you are a pleasure to know. I am truly happy we met and I look forward to working more with the both of you. Who knows what the future may hold.
Here's to building your dreams...

For discerning individuals, the Paul Smith Fall Collection is pretty intense-seriously!! You really shouldn't miss out on it, especially since i have already put in pre-orders!! Seriously THAT good!! Make sure to ask for my people down in Soho...



As per me???

Looking for more clients, the search goes on. Pls remember there are referral fees...

xoxoxo

BET Awards and celebrity clients...

Hi everyone!!
Last time I posted, it was about one celebrity client, that I had shopped/styled for the BET awards show, right?? Well that went beautifully! I can proudly say that I styled Larry Johnson of the Kansas City Chiefs; and he was wearing Gucci. His date was Julissa Bermudez and she looked absolutely stunning!!!

Talking about the awards, I have a few favorite dresses. Beyonce always looks great. The Dolce and Gabbana Belt did her figure justice!!! In my opinion. Others may happily disagree...

I loved Julissa Bermudez's dress (you must see the back of that dress) Melyssa Ford's outfit, Ciara's, Nicole Scherzinger's , The colors in Eva Pigford's dress made her stand out...
Amerie looked great in the yellow number...

The entire Ross family and the Swizz Beats family looked great. I loved the color co-ordination with the Beats family especially. Family is VERY powerful! Its always great to see them all together at these events.

Of course my favorite male walking the red carpet would be Larry Johnson...DUH!!!

Anyway, as far as celebrities go, I now have another one added to the roster. DJ Chuck Dogg is a popular NYC DJ on Power 105.1 FM. He is on the 2-6pm shift from Saturday-Wed. He is a producer, DJ and on air personality...tune in and show him some love! We met recently and I had to dress him for the Entertainment Weekly party last week. He walked the Red Carpet and that makes 2!!! We are in the process of changing his whole look. Stay tuned.

So people...

Here is the beginning of my foray into the land of celebrity styling. 1 becomes 2, 2 becomes 4. I am still available for regular shopping/styling (no egos here, not likely to ever be any either) , so no one should get any big ideas. My email address isn't changing, this will still be my blog(but a little understanding on the lacking updates)...so feel free to reach out! Especially the soon to be brides. I am always available for your consultations.

Have a great day all!!! The links will take you to the pictures on wireimage...not trying to wreck my subscription...

Updates June...

Ok-
I finally made it back to bloggville.
My apologies to everyone...you really need to understand that time is one of those crucial commodities that I never seem to have enough of!!

A few highlights...

Snagged my first non-naija celeb... nothing wrong with Naija celebs o...but the coverage is limited to Naijas...and we know that I need GLOBAL coverage. BET awards is GREAT(which is what this was for)...Grammy awards next!! Can't tell you who or what he is wearing until afterwards. But lets just say the dress code we chose is black and white...and there is beautiful lady in white on his arm! They are going to look FABULOUS!! Stay tuned... I will be glued to the tv on the 26th!!!

My client couple in the UK needed their shopping done...usually a breeze. But this time it was a lot of back and forth... I hate that, but whats a girl to do really?? Kinda comes with the territory.

Several new clients and new connections have been made...

Christy Bareijsza is doing fabulously...I will post her lovely picture from the Operation Smile event, where she wore the Vivienne Tam dress soon (got to get her permission...) we are building her closet slowly but surely. She also has a Mara Hoffman dress too...

Introduced Mara Hoffman to a few clients who had never heard of her. I am the proud owner of several of her dresses and responsible for doing a decent amount of damage during her sample sale. Her dresses are amazing. Especially if you like color...which I do! Check out her website http://www.marahoffman.com/ My stay at home mom client also bought one of Mara's dresses. She absolutely LOATHES shopping! I can definitely not mention her name as she truly loves her privacy...so no picture there....

Gianni Bravo my ever faithful shoe supplier, has just sent me their fall line sheet...LOVE, LOVE, LOVE!!!

Thanks to everyone that bought the frenzii tops...

Still looking for new clients, but then when am I not??

I am trying to update my website...(hasn't happened yet!)

Trying to have a better looking myspace page...(also hasn't happened)

Also still networking ferociously...which means I am doubling up on caffeine to keep up. Quite a few good parties too...

More info soon...but hopefully you understand better now, why blogging is not factoring higher on my list of priorities...Housework , versatile work and mommy work calls.

Geez its tough being a woman, its even tougher being me and wanting to do it all!

P.S.
Hubby and son are fine.
In the midst of all this chaos, I still found time to find a summer camp and to plan a vacation for us.
