Fashion 2.0: Blogging Your Way to The Front Row- The Insider's Guide to Turning Your Fashion Blog into a Profitable Business and Launching a New Career, Vol. 1

Late in 2011 I made a committment to blog more often.

It has not really worked out. Mostly due to my own laziness and not putting the blog first.

But I have learned alot. I purchased Charlie Gilkey's Planners to help me stay on track with my blogging plans for each month. He really helps you think it through....that was easy. Writing the posts became the thorn.

I also decided to dedicate a time each day to read something new about blogging. Blogging Your Way to the Front Row was one that was heraled as the 'fashion bloggers bible', and although I would not call it that, it is one book that I am glad to have in my library.

The chapter on Relationships was especially helpful to me. Reading the Relationships chapter has helped me to go for it in terms of chatting up other bloggers, and seeking out more exposure for myself-and other entreprenuers who are focused on providing wise women beautiful clothing and accessories.

Myy win is your win...I accidently ordered two copies and would love to gift one of my lovely readers.

Enter below, good luck. (Sorry folks who came by and tried to enter earlier-I messed up my beginning and end dates for the giveaway. It's fixed and thanks for letting me know!)

jia collection reversible dresses | trends with classic staying power

This is a trend I have fallen in love with — reversible dresses. Jia Collection are bound to become classics. The cuts of these dresses can fit many different shapes.

The benefit of many of Jia's dresses is that they are reversible. Invest in one dress. Wear it two, or four different ways. Hand-washable, or dry clean.

Work ready Bettina, $430 can be worn four ways. Love that! Easily glam it up by adding a few baubles and rock it to a wedding.

Jia Spring/Summer 2012 Collection, prices unavailable. I love each one of these and am adding them to my 'most coveted' list.

 

If you are saying to yourself, well I have too much going on to wear one of these dresses, let me tell you a secret; I have a jiggle in the middle, which I easily smooth out with my Flexees WYOB (Wear Your Own Bra) Romper. Prefer panties with your shapewear? Try this one, Flexees WYOB Torsette Body Briefer.

If you prefer a nip-slip instead, Yummie Tummie has a workhorse for you the Lavonne Bustless Slip.

Notable mentions...

Fab Over Fifty mentions me on the following posts: Is she a black sheep or black beauty? And did this daughter dress her mom? Let me know what you think about these outfits.

Coco & Creme posted an excellent article regarding models and the real world vs. what women really want. The article answers questions women already know the answer to, real women want to see real women model the clothes we are being sold.

Music and miscellania...

I'm a sucker for a cellist, but Kevin Olusola takes it to another level when he marries beatboxing with a classical rift. It's fabulous. I had to close my eyes the third time I listened in as his composition took me to another decade of my life-when I thought I was going to play the violin as an adult.

 WTF????
