The Great Disappearing Rougini

Okay if I said work had kept me super preoccupied it would be an understatement. I'm working on this before I have to go do something work related for about an hour or so well probably closer to two hours. Then I need to rush back home so I don't miss a very dear friend's wedding in world. Beyond that I was sent a nice blogger back to review some items from a new shop, at least I think it's new, called W3rd---west 3rd for those of you that were slightly confused for a second lol. I took the photos but hadn't posted them. I'm posting my two favorite items from the pack even though I can say the t-shirts were all very well made and cute. I'm going to show you the necklace called Kick Rocks and a page boy hat cause well I just like page boy hats. The necklace's structure is neat and unusual and unlikely to be on 20 million avatars so if you want something eye catching and probably just going to be all yours for a while this is a great piece. Finding hair that doesn't eat the hat entirely can be a tiny issue but it's cute. I'll try to catch you up on things later.

Hope Your Holidays were Festive and Light!

Not sure why I'm waiting until the final weekend of my vacation to write something up as I've been off forever lol but eh whatever. I'm rested now and actually have news so I guess that could be part of it too. I was feeling a little housewifey so this picture is from my kitchen. I love the fact that the colors can be changed whenever I want them to be different or to not clash with my outfit for example. It's been a good few weeks. I got to go visit family over the holidays which was great. My niece is adorable and I hadn't seen her in quite some time so that was a blast. Well except the 15 times I had to watch Wall-E but even that had a nice moment cause she basically used me as a chair most of the time and got cranky when I moved. She was exhausting though so I'm not sure if I'm ever gonna want to be more than Auntie Rouge. The trip down was kinda hectic and because of it I realized pretty quickly I wouldn't be able to do a fashion show that Sami was nice enough to invite me to do Sunday after the holiday. We got home super late on Sunday and then stayed up even later but it's been a quiet restful week with more good food and really just good times all around.

I've got my name in for a few other contests. Didn't place in My Precious Princess contest with Agnes Finney which was slightly disappointing because I thought the pictures Maddy took were fantastic but I did add to the portfolio/flikr and that is never a bad thing. And through some weird fluke there were only like 10 contestants in Angel Dessous for January and while I didn't place there either that meant I got an outfit again so yeah free stuff lol. I have entered Mon Amour's covergirl contest which seemed to just consist of submitting a picture but I'll have to check on that. I submitted pictures for the Face of Beningborough and was slightly shocked truth be told that I was selected but uber happy about it. Didn't know we got paid to be there too so perk lol. I'm still waiting to hear about Miss Fashion 2010 as to whether I've been selected as a model or not. If so yippee as it sounds like and interesting contest. If not eh, it's another chance to get my face out there. And there's a Maniera casting tomorrow so yeah for that too.

Anyhoo, I hope all of you really did have a great holiday and that things are as wonderful as you imagine in 2010.

Love ya
Rouge
