• Fall Fashion is around the Corner!! One of the favorite things I would do with my mom growing up was back to school shopping. Those that know my mom are fully aware that she's a fashion plate. I remember always absorbing everything I could from her copies of Vogue, Glamour, Spiegel and whatever fashion magazine/catalog that would be around the house. As I hit my teens, I would love to read Teen & Seventeen to prep me for the coming school year. This year, while looking at my closet and lamenting about how I have *nothing* to wear, it dawned on me. Yes, I'm between sizes, but I need more *updated* clothing to fit my new persona of "entrepreneur" or whatever. I know I rock the shoes like one, but my clothes are lacking. They are a bit too casual in my opinion and I need to amp it up a bit. So this fall, I'm on the look out for some great tweeds, herringbones, rich jewel tones like amethyst, sapphire and ruby, and a *great* bag to really go with everything. One more thing to look forward to in Philly - shopping!! And I better find a good tailor!! Clinton & Stacey would be so proud.
• Speaking of fashion - there's gonna be a revamp of FashionistaPlus.com. We're going to go with a new look, new feel and just rockin' a whole new fashion vibe over there for the plus size fashionista.
• There's something invigorating about networking that really gets me going. I found some podcasts on iTunes this weekend for PR stuff and it's a whole other world. Not only do I get to check out What Not To Wear, but also hear some business related stuff that is rather refreshing.
• Also on the PR front, I took part in a conference call today about a retreat scheduled for next year and found myself getting into the mix rather than standing on the sidelines. For a quasi-shy gal like me, I guess I had a bit of what would they say - chutzpah?
• Finances - yes, I know I keep saying that I will get to the finances and put stuff on eBay, but honestly, time is scarce. I've got way too many irons in the fire and I need to strike a balance. However, I was able to get my first *official* check from the new PR company this week and, while it was only for a small amount of billing, still - nice to have. It will pay for part of those yellow shoes.
• I can't wait to try the new Sarah Jessica Parker fragrance, Covet. I loved "Lovely" and I am intrigued by the new commercials re: Covet. I've got a gift card to Macy*s so that should alleviate some of the cost.

Here's hoping you all have a fabulous week!!!
