Thank you 2009

2009 was and is, still, the hardest year of my life.

I lost so many things, I'm surprised I'm even sane. I lost my routine life. I lost my sense of self at one point. I lost my mind. I lost happiness. I lost a best friend. I lost love. I lost money. I lost people I love. I lost relationships I cherished. I lost my apartment. I lost my job. I thought I lost it all.

There were times I experienced pain I never knew existed: pain that cut my flesh into my veins deep thru my bones, nights I cried myself to sleep, and umbearable sadness that derived from my pit. There were times I wanted to give up and loose all hope of getting better. To be truthful, my soul hasn't been the same since. There's still pieces I need to find to put myself in place. I'll be constantly working at that.

But miracles happen around me everyday. I'm surrounded by angels that help me in my life - guardians, guides, messages, signs that keep me moving, growing, and loving. And I'm thankful and grateful to learn about myself, the life I live, and the universe I'm in. I'm fortunate to have the support and energy I surround myself with. I feel untouchable andante certain to achieve my dreams. I'm amazed.

You loose things to make more room for other things - Different things, new things. And I'm thankful for 2009 because I've learned this.

I'm in touch with myself more than ever and I'm ready to share myself with the world.

Thank you 2009

...a NEW look for STEPH's Closet...

I literally grab whatever I see in the morning and put it on - with no concept of matching in mind AT all. Sometimes I look at my outfit and ask myself "the hell am I wearing?"...but then I continue out of the house and go on with my day. It's just my nature.

Vintage Clothing can be overwhelming - especially to some people who have never considered wearing USED clothes. I felt the same way until I embraced the clothes. It's like playing DRESS UP everyday with my clothes. I can never get over it.

I've found it the most successful when I help style clients who are looking for new gear - not that anyone needs major help or anything :) Guidance may help open up their eyes a bit. What I see in a piece could be totally different than what others see. Vintage clothes can be terrifying to wear for some. My job is to make it easier. I LOVE it and we get to PLAY. This is what it's all about - PLAYING!

I play everyday. This NEW look for STEPH's closet is to tie my face to the clothes. I've never really wanted to. BUT, I can show that my clothes - off the walls or not - could be EVERYDAY unique outfits - one of a KIND, exclusive pieces that can create AMAZING styles.

The MAV fashion show at the International Auto Show at the Moscone Center last Saturday was AMAZING.
