Love Lite

 Part of being fashionable means maintaining a warm and inviting home. One that smells yummy,provides a relaxing environment and a haven away from the busy life we lead.

I like to rely on candles and fragrance oils as  well as flowers and plants to do that.
One of my favorite places to shop is Yankee Candles at the Bellevue Square Mall. 

 Recently, I went in to purchase a chocolate candle for Valentine's Day and when I was at the checkout, the sales associate told me about a raffle that they were having. I didn't think much about it, and said "sure,why not"and honestly, who couldn't use a few more lovely candles and reed defusers in their home? I walked out never giving it a second thought. 

 A few days later,I received a callback from a very sweet lady that told me I had won the raffle!!

My "prize" were two large jar candles one in Picnic In The Park, and Blue Summer Sky as well as Summer Wishes fragrance oil/reed defuser. These make my little studio smell like a fresh spring day! 

Thank you so much for the wonderful gift. I love how it makes my tiny place so welcoming at the end of my day.

Until next time~

Love,Fashion,And DVF

It isn't everyday that a girl gets to meet reality tv royalty,let alone a global brand ambassador,but today I was blessed with the opportunity to do both!

The House of DVF reality star,Brittany Hampton, made an appearance today at the DVF shop in Bellevue Square. I can certainly see why DVF herself chose this sweet,outgoing,well-spoken lady to represent her brand.

I teased her a bit about bringing the rain,and spoke with her about her experience on the show.Brittany herself is a designer, and is hoping to launch a line of her own,and was grateful to have had Diane as a powerful mentor,stating that she was such a "powerful voice" and role model for young women these days. I couldn't have agreed more! She is looking forward to having a hand in the selection of the next brand ambassador, which will happen during Season 2 of House of DVF,which is casting now!

 I got a personalized styling session with Brittany,who encouraged me to embrace my fair skin and red hair and to not be afraid to  wear bold colors to show off my eyes.So often we hide behind black and gray.
Brittany chose a wrap dress that would enhance my porcelain skin in shades of pink and purple,and I also fell in love with a laser cut emerald green dress,which was very hard not to walk out of the shop with!

It might take a little doing,but those two dresses will be in my closet at some time in the future.

I am looking forward to seeing the new spring collection as it arrives at DVF in Bellevue.

 Thanks for hosting a wonderful event.
Until next time~
