Shoe Clips!

Love these rose clips! Such an adorable addition to any shoe collection. I love the idea of these clips and all the options they have to offer! Plus, I really want some shoes with massive roses on the heels, so this seems like a cheaper and cuter solution!

Gorg Rings at a Pretty Price!

Wow I love these rings! LOVE! I just added these to the Aspiring Couture website under the Bridal Boutique section! The best part is the price, $15! I am working on shifting over Aspiring Couture to offer far more price points and options for all of you out there! Let me know what you would like to see on Aspiring Couture also, I would love to add more and more options and tools for you all as well!

I "less than 3" you

Such a cute concept! I  definitely want both of these items. 

I'm in love, or should I say "I am in less than three". Corny?? Ya, I thought so too.

Check out the ring or the tote bag.

Wedding Wednesday!

Today I am launching my wedding blog, Engaged and Inspired! 

First off, I must thank my wonderful fiance for helping me to create this blog! He is pretty amazing! I have been very excited about the launch of this blog! Of course I still completely plan on building Aspiring Couture more and more to create a great experience for online shoppers! I will be opening the boutique to include a full wedding section pretty soon!

As you can see I have a lot of plans for both Aspiring Couture and Engaged and Inspired, and I hope you enjoy it all! Take a look around and let me know what you think!

I have been a bit MIA recently as I have been dealing with the aftermath of the show, the new engagement and blog prep, and holidays and weddings! Woo, busy month! I promise I will be back in full force this coming week! :) In the meantime, I am working hard to look for some spectacular spriing collections for Aspiring Couture!

( PS thanks to Blogger, I can't seem to upload a photo!!)

Coming on Wednesday...

Engaged and Inspired Wedding Blog

Those that have been following my blog for a bit have probably learned that I have become quite obsessed with weddings.When I became engaged in December I decided it was finally time to become a bit more serious about it! I wanted a place to show my wedding ideas and gain some feedback, show pictures and ideas I just love, and show real weddings, not to mention give me a chance to create relationships with some great vendors, so I pick some of the best for my wedding!

Myself and two of my friends, Melissa and Liz, are all engaged. We are pretty much all helping each other plan and talk weddings basically all the time now! That was the feeling I wanted my blog to have, friends chatting and about weddings and their latest ideas. So we did a little photoshoot (above) of the three of us for the wedding blog! I figure, who better to portray that-than us!

I have to majorly thank Cooper Falk for this shoot with us! He has been willing to do any shoot I need INCLUDING taking a day trip to Napa with me to look at about 8 venues! He also did the shoot for the Jesica Milton collection that is all over my website, and the header of my blog.He also took tons of pics of Winter on the Runway! Major thanks to him!!

Check out the new blog, Engaged and Inspired, when we launch on Wednesday and let me know what you think! In the meantime feel free to follow us on Twitter!

More pictures!

Look at this great model! Lauren was a great model to work with, and she pulled off some pretty great pictures!

She is wearing Liise Wyatt in the top pictures and Selah D'or (skirt available on aspiringcouture.com) in the bottom ones!

Thanks to her and everyone else who helped or came to the show! More pictures are on our Facebook Fan Page for you all to check out!

Keep warm until the end of Winter

Spring collections are starting to surface all over the internet and all over the catalogs! I can't even think with buying a cute sundress at the moment since I am shivering in my boots during this 50 degree weather I have to live with. (PS that's really cold for California-boohoo) Coats, boots, and leggings are on my mind right now. So, I found this coat and I quite love it. Check it out on UsTrendy.

Soon we shall say farewell to winter, and hello shorts, sundresses, and flip flops!

Winter on the Runway pics!

Winter on the Runway pictures are starting to surface! I will show lots more as I get them, but here are some great ones to begin with!

Zoe and Doyle

I love this design. It is very modern and chic but still tasteful. A current trend, and one that I couldn't see going out of style anytime soon, is a raised diamond. You see these in the halo styles and in styles like this. I love the fact that you can see the entire thing, and it looks so delicate.


They also have tons of titanium rings as well. I think this is a great style for a guy as it is not too shiny and therefore glisten in the light! I am going to look into something like this for Ian's wedding band!

New Year. New Goals

It has been quite an insane month! First was our engagement, followed by both of our birthdays (Dec 7 and 9) then Winter on the Runway and then the whole Christmas flurry! With family in town, then New Years, it was just one heck of a month! My last thing is Ian's brother's wedding, then I will hopefully have a minute to catch my breathe and spend some real substantial time working out my goals for 2010!

I have some great expansion ideas for Aspiring Couture and can't wait to put those in effect! Want to host a few more fashion shows, open up an aspiring wedding section and create so much more on what I currently have to offer! This is a great time for me to take a step back, look at my accomplishments so far, and figure out how to take the next step forward-and I am beyond excited to take that next step!

Recently I created a reader's survey in an effort to gain some feedback from readers! I am taking all of that into account and working on creating a blog and online boutique that serves as a wonderful shopping experience for all. Let me know if you have anymore feedback. In the meantime, I am going to be working on making everything about Aspiring Couture better! So excited! :)

Here is to a wonderful year!
