Trick or Treat!!!!

I have a daughter for a day!!

Dylan's costume threw everybody off. He originally was going to be a "Hobo" and as you can see from my mom's reaction when she realized that cute girl was not a girl at all but in fact her grandchild. I think we all laughed for a good 10 min. The kids in Dylan's class did not even recognize him. His school had a parade and a singing performance that was totally amazing. So fun!

"Dylena" is wearing a thrifted dress and shoes, mom's sweater, Betsey Johnson necklace and a Bridget Shuster Bag bought at Blue Bee. We had so much fun getting ready together! With my Daughter for a day!

Happy Halloween all!!

Blue Bee Work Series Part I

Wonder what I do all day?

Well, I am going to bring you a Work Series that gives you an idea as to what I do working in Customer Care at BlueBee.com. A little weekly posting,"behind the scenes" shots of me....well working at Blue Bee.

Unless I have 2x the amount of orders I am used to dealing with, on a daily basis everyone whom orders from BlueBee.com gets a written letter from me. That is what I am doing here. The first thing I do once I have all the product to ship out and receipts printed is I sit down and write my letters to you.

It is generally more interesting for me to not repeat the same thing over and over, and more interesting I am sure for you to not read the same thing over and over. I just sit down and start writing. I actually put a lot of time and thought into what I am saying, even if it is just "Have an awesome day, I'll let you know when we get the next shipment of Paul Smith"

Why write letters?

Because it means something. If someone takes the time to spend their hared earned money to buy something they LOVE, have to have, NEED, googled something they saw in a magazine or a celebrity wear, HEARD ABOUT or just Wanted I am going to take the time to say thanks!

This is my most favorite time of the day. I am not dealing with any other issues other than giving Thanks and Enjoy your Rad new threads.

Question: What is the coolest thing a Customer Service Rep did for you?? Or What do you do at your job to make it more meaningful?

Nice Collective - Dots Dedicated to Kylene

Kylene- you totaly rock!

Nice Collective has a hauntingly rad Fall 09 collection for women that I just want to sink my teeth into.

My favorite is this crazy cool(not to mention super warm and cozy) Hooded Cloak.

A Grai Praying Mantis

I have spoken of Grai and the amazing designs she makes inspired by insects.....this Fin Leather Jacket is cut high at the waist and long in the arms. OHHHH so lovely.

If I were an insect....I would want to be a Praying Mantis.

What kind of EXOSKELETON would you be?

Frank & Eileen- a Transiton Piece

Transition Pieces are a key in my wardrobe.

They are the Bridge between my 20's and 30's.

Frank & Eileen make these awesome shirts that are hip, cut sexy, amazing fabric and colors.... but it does not look like my "mom's" shirt, or my "boyfriends" for that matter.

It is MY SHIRT.

And in case you are wondering I am wearing Habitual's new distressed skinny called Ava Skinny Iso Worn. They feel quite amazing on but run a bit small in my opinion.

Now I am ready to transition into the week....Happy Monday all!
