My New Obsession is Sewing...who ever would have guessed?

I randomly took a sewing class at The Workroom, located in Toronto. It was one of my eager attempts to get out of the house and reconnect to the world after having a baby. As it turns out, I loved the class and I swear to you I can't stop thinking about things to sew! I think this would work as a great sewing atelier!

The unexpected discovery I had was that I wanted to sew up a new wardrobe. Hello?! I swear I think it's also due in fact that I refuse to shop for clothes in my post-baby shape! I can't bear to admit what size I am, etc.... I want some time to workout and get back in shape before I buy new clothes!

Where am I? Where am I going? Or Welcome to 2012!!

Can it already be four days into the New Year?! I've been busy getting my daughter her US citizenship and now that that hustle is over and the holiday is packed up and put away. I'm back at my desk and wondering where was I before Thanksgiving and where am I going? Have you had a chance to slow down enough in 2012 to ask yourself these same questions?

It's a hard question...what do I want out of life. It sounds easy if you win the lottery, but unless that happens a girl needs plenty of mojo to tackle the true desires of the heart.

Let Winter Melt to Reveal Your Girlie Girl

Yes, every girl loves the layers of winter, but I can't wait for the snows to melt! I want to feel that fresh, feminine, and sweet. Nothing beats that transition to spring with a long soak to defrost from the cold. I love this fresh steel claw bathtub with the colorful tile photographed by Kathryn Russell {No. 1}. Of course, a lovely chandelier of frills, girlie color, and smart recycled materials can add drama no matter what season {No. 2}. These special chandeliers made by Magpie were snatched by the buyer, Keith Johnson of Anthropologie, and ended up in one of the Obama children's room! Very Girlie Girl!

Time to shimmer with Tarina Tarantino Sparklicity Shimmer Dust.  Shimmer is the perfect touch for the girlie girl look. I always throw a hint of shimmer to my neck and shoulders. It's just so alluring! Sexy lingerie always helps too!

Need more ideas? New York Fashion Week 2010 is loaded with new inspirations for the girlie girl. Try something frilly and over the top, something eye catching, and head turning by Marchesa {No. 4}. The label is named aftered a socialite which makes sense as you wander their collection-so goddess, so fresh, so lovely...ah..now if spring would just arrive sooner then later!
