Hey Everyone, the inspiration of the outfit above came from the movie Confessions of a Shopaholic.  Unfortunately, Rebecca Bloomwood (Ilsa Fisher) and I have quite a bit in common.  My friends always laugh at me because I usually come home with a ton of shopping bags just like in the picture above.  I of course always give them a little fashion show of all my purchases while they sit there and say things like “Jennifer, Oh my gosh! you did not need both of those tops!” or my boyfriend will say “Jenni! How much did that cost!?”  My response to my friends: “Yes, I did have to get both tops because the pink looked so good on and teal will go perfect with these new white jeans!  So you see, I just had to get both!”  As for the response to the prices of the items:  “Umm… I don’t really remember.”  or  “I promise I got it on sale!”   I can’t help it!  I love to shop!  That is why this fashion blog is such a great outlet for me!  It has opened so many doors and opportunities for me!  I really want to say thank you to everyone who has been giving been encouragement and advice especially Brighton Keller for helping me launch this blog, Jade Younger all the way in New York who has been giving me daily encouragement and  fashion tips (can’t wait to feature her as an F.I.F) and  Jessica Ramirez for coming over before every photo shoot to help put all of my outfits and accessories together.  There are so many other people I’d like to thank and I will in my next few posts, but right now I’m pressed for time.  I’m starting my new job.  Yep, that’s right I’m a full time student with 2 jobs and fashion blog! Busy Busy!

On another note, the photo shoot at 8 am today went terribly because it was freezing cold and raining.  Thank goodness Max is a superb photographer and Gretchen looks great in any scene.  Max ended up getting some great shots and I can’t wait to post Gretchen’s F.I.F next week!  Hopefully the photo shoot this coming Tuesday with F.I.F (Megan Discon) will run more smoothly! Have a great Friday everyone!!
