It's Our Anniversary!

It's been a year today since we opened up our lives and closets to you! We are starting our month long celebration today! First we want to say a few words...

Wow! I can't believe that we have been blogging for a full year. Boy, how time flies when you're doing work that doesn't feel like work. This year of blogging has definitely been a learning experience for me, I've learned a lot about fashion. Although, I am a stylist, I hate to admit that I don't stay on top of fashion news like I should. Writing every week has forced me to be disciplined in my fashion research. I always get complimented on my style, but never really knew that people would be interested in knowing how I shop, and how I put my looks together. From the comments and avid readers, I see that people are interested. I want to thank you for taking the time out of your day to view our blog, rather you comment or silently read, without you there would be no point to our blog. This new year going forward I personally want to bring more of our accessory design into our posts, you know us more as fashionista's and stylists. We also create unique, one of a kind jewelry that we want to share more of with you, through DIY ,giveaways,and behind the design posts. I'm excited about our 2nd year of blogging, and hope that you stick around to continue to watch us grow!

Until Next Time,Ciao!

This day last year we premiered our blog with my first 'Style Adventures' post and I wasn't sure if anyone would read it. My first year as a blogger has been exuberant. Blogging was one of the only things that has been regular for me this past year. I had an appointment several times each week with my computer, with a deadline each day of 11:00 am that later became noon and so on. Today it's more like, just get it done! I have become more relaxed about it, understanding that sometimes ish happens,deadlines don't always get met. Life happens! I love blogging though and that is what keeps it from feeling like a job for me. I love getting dolled up and paying close attention to the details. Even though I have always been this way, it is extra rewarding being able to share my looks with you. I take pride in achieving funky, fun looks that are also inexpensive and sharing great places to shop off the beaten path. I would love to own a closet full of designer items, I own my share but I am more proud of creating the same feeling with less. After 80 'Chris's/Kris's Closets', 11 'Style Adventures', many newer posts and close to 9,000 views, I realize that I am not the only one who wants style for less.  You have been with me through my style ups and downs. You have been there with me through my natural hair transition and struggles. My only hope is that I have helped and inspired you to live in style no matter your budget.  Thank you for a year of love and support!

Be Blessed! Be free! Be fashionable!
