Since February 29 isn't an annual affair, I think it's appropriate to pay tribute to those divas that actually age slower than the rest of us (based on calendar years of course). For me this day is exceptional because I can celebrate my amazingly fashionable grandma. She had style, beauty, brains, and all the confidence in the world, which is pretty evident from this picture of my parent's wedding. And while there's no proof that a passion for all things beautiful has any genetic ties, I'm quite certain that it does and I'm very thankful for that. How else do you explain the parallels that run between us? I only had the pleasure of experiencing her grace and beauty for seven short years after-all.
She was a nurse, an amazing seamstress, a loving mother, grandmother, friend, and a Beauty Counselor. Little did I know back then that I would end up following in her footsteps. She loved sharing beauty and helping women realize that it was ok to spend time on themselves. She knew the powers of perfectly tailored clothing and owning your look. While so many people thought that fashion and beauty were superficial, she knew they had the power to transform - to instantly take you from feeling so-so to unstoppable. I believe we all deserve to feel unstoppable! Happy birthday grandma. Thank you for sharing your fierce sense of style with the world. I'll do what I can to pass it along!
Cheers,
