And it’s over just like that! I started on this journey of expressing things which I love and creating a brand in May 2007. After many setbacks- being discouraged, lazy etc., I stepped it up in 2009. La:Dolce:Vita still means the same to me now as it did back then. Each day I am working harder and harder to achieve “the good life.” Through the love and encouragement of my family, friends, other bloggers, my network, and readers I can finally say I am official and proud of the progress that I’ve made. I set out to do Fashion Week on my own, with no machine behind me, just the promise that is La:Dolce:Vita. I attended and blogged about a total of 15 events, shows, and presentations! The lack of sleep, the fustration, the chronic foot pain from running around the city in heels, standing in a line dripping wet in the sweltering heat, or literally weathering the storm, taking off work (no pay), and more, it was all worth it! God truly rewarded me this week. I was able to attend a BET party for Monique where I met industry heavy weights, Debra Lee, Andre Leon Tally, Monique, editors at Essence and more. The blessing was too fold because I was able to attend the Oprah Live in New York show with exclusive VIP seats! A dream come true! This week has been one of the best in my life. I was inspired in every way imaginable. I just want to thank anyone who took a moment to stop by my little corner of the internet. We may not have those bright lights yet like the other streets, but it’s getting there. Thanks everyone from the bottom of my heart, I couldn’t have done it with out you. This is only the beginning. I promise to bring you more diverse content from highlighting new designers, trends, exclusive nyc events and more. Thanks!
Yay! It’s a Celebration!
