"Thoughts"
Ever since the third grade when I was handed an agenda to keep track of homework I have had an obsession with writing down every to-do, every task, every piece of work that must be accomplished in a day, week and month. I know there’s a scheduler on my Blackberry, but I really prefer paper. I take my day planner with me everywhere, it’s a requisite for all bags I buy to be able to comfortably fit my day planner, as well as three to four lip glosses at any given time, my BB, a mini can of hair spray, an idea notebook, several pens, my ipod and large leather wallet. As the year ends, so must my time with my current planner, and on to the next, which I got from Santa yesterday. A lovely, pink leather day planner just waiting for fresh ink and new dates.
Wearing: H&M sheer army green shirt, Joe Fresh pink waffle-knit shirt, Express wool skirt. Tights from Safeway.
Grey studded heels from Zara. Dior Haute Couleur Lipstick #361.
I can never get enough stationery.

But let’s not let this rain get us down, shall we? Last night was Ginger’s Snowball party, yet this morning I awoke fairly bright eyed and bushy-tailed (how long have I been waiting to say that??), I suppose that’s what just a few cocktails and calling it a night early will do for you. The party was pretty fabulous, if you’re from North or West Vancouver, it was a definite reunion. Lovely to see all your faces again and to catch up! And that dance floor, we tore it apart. I expect pictures will be surfacing soon!
But on to today! I’m just about to jump into the car to drive over to West Vancouver to spend a little Q.T. with Mum and Grannie, and pick up Marie’s Christmas present. It’s adorable.
Wearing: H&M sweater, Zara pleated leather skirt, tights from London Drugs (all quality, all the time), Rockport boots found at Winners, Marc by Marc Jacobs necklace, Michael Kors watch, Gianni Chiarini leather carry-all. Cranberry Shimmer Body Shop lip balm.
I first started using this lip balm when I was 15 when I found it in my Christmas stocking, ever since it’s been a nostalgic piece of the holiday season.
My Rosy Christmas:
Above: Roses on my desk, my new side table and lamp, festive decorating on my coffee table.
Happy Holidays readers, and thank you so much for visiting my blog! I appreciate it! Oh, and here’s a photo I posted earlier of Marie’s holiday wear.

From the woman who said, “some editors, they have that, they know all the designer from the beginning of the nineteenth century. They know this is triple cashmere, this is simple cashmere. Maybe they went to fashion school. Me, I don’t. I just get a feeling about what is exciting. It is all just from feeling.” There is now a very tall pair of lace-up stiletto boots to fill at the top position of French Vogue. Carine Roitfeld, the eponymous editor in all her smoky-eyed glory, has decided that January will be her last month at the magazine. March will be the last issue she works on.
I’m not sure how to feel about this. I adore her persona, reading about her, seeing what she wears to the collections, etc. But, often French Vogue seemed to be a little off to me in its accessibility, I could never really connect with the magazine in the way I hoped to by buying it every month (for approximately $12 each time – not a cheap commitment). Though, French Vogue flourished under Carine. The big question is, who the heck will be her replacement?
The article:
In a surprise move, Carine Roitfeld said Friday she will step down as editor in chief of French Vogue at the end of January.
“It’s 10 years that I’m editor of the magazine,” Ms. Roitfeld, one of the most influential editors in the fashion business, said in a telephone interview. “I think it’s time to do something different.”
She informed Jonathan Newhouse, the chief executive of Conde Nast International, that she wished to pursue other projects. “I have no problem with Jonathan, and he understood me very well,” Ms. Roitfeld said of her ideas for the magazine, which featured bold photography and expressed a cool, physical, erotic fashion ideal.
Ms. Roitfeld often did the styling for photo shoots. “I had so much freedom to do everything I wanted. I think I did a good job.” But she added, “When everything is good, maybe I think it’s the time to do something else.” She expects to complete issues through March. She said she was not sure what she would do after that. “I have no plan at all,” she said.
On British Vogue’s Web site, Mr. Newhouse said, “It’s impossible to overstate Carine’s powerful contribution to Vogue and to the fields of fashion and magazine publishing. Under her direction Vogue Paris received record levels of circulation and advertising and editorial success.”

And, for further enjoyment, a video profile on Roitfeld from CNN. No snacks necessary for this video experience, but perhaps you better go add a little more smudgy eye liner to your look, and throw on a pair of dangerous heels.

I’m taking a page here from the book of Emily, author and brilliance behind the blog Cupcakes and Cashmere, who often does posts dedicated to 5 things that make her happy, like this. In this awful, dreary grey weather it’s easy to get down. Lately I’ve been finding happy moments in little things. Here is a short list of things that are making me smile right now:
1. A new Canadian magazine
2. My Christmas advent calendar and a holiday drink from Starbucks; peppermint mocha, extra whip cream!
3. Mandarin oranges – these little goodies come in their own wrapping paper and remind me of Christmases past, specifically Christmas Day when without fail there is always a mandarin orange in the toe of my stocking.
4. A messy table full of craft supplies and glitter: my Christmas cards are finally done!
5. Muddy heels. No shoe was spared in an effort to take the best picture possible on today’s venture with Jamie Hodge. Browns ID patent leather heels.
6. My $3.50 umbrella that looks like your average $30.00 clear plastic umbrella (available at the dollar-plus store). Who doesn’t love a good deal??
7. The sweetest part of my day, every day, is curious little Marie. This kitten can really be a handful sometimes, just last week she made a real mess of my suede boots (heart break!), but I love her little furry face too much to ever be upset with her.
What little things make you happy every day?

Welcome to the StyleStruck guide on how to be chic. These are points that lend themselves both to a chic appearance and a chic lifestyle. Anna has also weighed in for us here at StyleStruck.ca.
The StyleStruck Guide to Being Chic (and How to Avoid Being Un-Chic.):
1. Always avoid yoga pants on the street. For that matter, avoid all yoga wear on the street, unless of course you are in fact on your way to a yoga class in which case you are indeed, very chic. (Please carry yoga mat with you to ensure we all know where you are headed and to avoid chic/un-chic confusion).
2. Avoid leggings as pants. This must be followed by a, “duh.” Leggings-as-pants is by far the easiest way to declare yourself to be a fashion victim, and nobody wants that. Nor do we want to see your hoo-ha or bottom as leggings so do display.
3. Be organized and prepared. Ever notice how truly chic women are never scrambling or anxious? Always stay calm, collected and poised. Whenever I feel the stress monster coming on, I just recite to myself, “cool as a cucumber, cool as a cucumber.” (Okay, that’s a lie. If I was feeling stressed and someone told me to do that, I’d probably club them, or swing my over-stuffed purse in their direction, and with this season’s craze for metal and stud details, that would be a very effective way to make them shut up.) In any case, keeping your cool is a key part of being elegant, and we all want that.
4. Be up on current events. Give your local news station’s, as well as a national news source’s website a scan to ensure you have an understanding of what’s going on in our world. Smart is always chic, and no one wants to be the person who is clueless when someone mentions that North Korea and South Korea may engage in war. That would be slightly embarrassing, and may have happened to me a couple weeks ago, but not again.
5. Lipstick, gloss, balm and tint are all easy ways to look polished.
6. Avoid looking like the place that trends go to die. Meaning, don’t wear all the trends at once, but rather mix a trend or two at a time in with your own style. This is what having “style” is all about.
7. No matter what anyone says, heels always elevate a look. Although, let’s avoid the pin-thin stilettos and gargantuan platforms for day, shall we ladies? Save those for night and for when you want to have a “shazam” moment.
8. Always be polite. Again, duh. Though, this seems to be less important to people these days, which is really a shame. Etiquette is an art that needs to be practiced! Be appreciative and respectful, it will be come back to you. Now that we find ourselves in the holiday season it is a prime time to hone your etiquette skills; when someone invites you to a party do you: a. RSVP right away to let the host plan her numbers b. Ignore the invite and wait until other offers come in (this is THE WRONG answer, unless you don’t want to be invited anymore) or c. Do not respond at all. I sincerely hope you all chose A.
9. If possible, ice your outfits (as in icing on a cupcake, not bling), with high-end accessories. I know we can not all afford designer pieces, I myself am not in the position to do this. But, a few well-made, good quality accessories can really make an outfit look luxe and take it from ho-hum to fabulous. A few tips to doing this: scout for deals! Look for products made from natural materials, such as leather. Almost every designer piece I own was found in a sale. (Hint: The Holts designer sale is currently happening…) Even if your outfit is worth $100 all pieces combined, it can look expensive with the addition of a designer bag or beautiful shoes.
10. If you’re having an “I have nothing to wear” moment with your closet, stick to neutrals in a monochromatic palette. There is no easier way to look chic than wear a head-to-toe look in a neutral tone like grey, black, cream, white or beige/tan. Mixing textures adds interest, as does a little gold or silver jewelry, depending on the neutral you choose to go with (I like gold with white, cream, beige/tan and black, silver with grey).
Now, for Anna’s (as in Wintour), take on How to be Chic:
1. Do not eat. If you insist on eating, choose celery sticks and a cube of cheese.
2. Do not be comfortable. Style is all about wearing runway looks into day including corsets, sky-high heels, oversized furs and tight leather everything.
3. Always, ALWAYS wear your sunnies everywhere. Even if you can’t see because it’s dark inside. Even if it’s raining outside and there is no possible need to shield your eyes from bright light.
4. Always wear heels. What do they mean by, “flat shoe”?
5. Operate with a sense of authoritarianism. Make sure everyone knows who is boss.
6. Be chilly. A cold demeanor will ensure… well I’m not sure what it will ensure, except for not having any friends. But who needs friends when you are impossibly chic?
7. Don’t bother learning to drive, or walk for that matter. In the chicest of lives you will always be chauffeured and sitting – preferably front row.
8. Only shop the most current racks of designer fashion. It is imperative to maintain appearances.
9. Chic people only need 8 points of advice. If you need anymore, clearly you are not meant to be chic.
Love, Anna

Recently I sat down for an interview with journalist Meagan Gill of the Kwantlen Chronicle. Here it is!
Thank you to Meagan for interviewing me and writing such a lovely article. Much appreciated!
Xo StyleStruck
To all the lovely people who read my blog for posts on style: let’s keep fresh in the world of social media, shall we? I just came across this video posted to Twitter and had to share. Check out how Facebook plans to revolutionize the way we interact with each other, and keep track of our conversations.
Incredible what Facebook is doing.
A few more Formspring questions that need answering! Thank you for your questions! Please note that if you don’t get an immediate response it’s because I’m planning on using your question for an upcoming Formspring-dedicated post!
1. What’s your favourite part to running your blog?
Every single part of it. I love the creative side of developing post ideas, whether it be a photo shoot, a story idea from a far off PR person, a video or just pictures of my cat. I adore reading feedback from readers, meeting readers (shout out to the lovely girl at Giovane Cafe who recognized me last week!), and of course attending events. I love it all.
2. How long does it take you to create a blog post? When do you know if its “blog-worthy” of an outfit or of anything?
Each post is different. Some posts take 15 minutes, others take a day or so of deliberation on wording, photos, etc. I don’t know if there is a “blog-worthy” standard at all. When I want to publish a post I always stop before making it public and think, “Is this something that my readers will enjoy? Does it fit within the brand I’m trying to create?” At times I feel a little challenged with this because I aim to reach a readership that enjoys both frivolous posts like new shoes as well as a biz related topic, such as Prezi as a new presentation tool. So there is worry there that a post may be too girly, but then I have to remember that my blog is also an extension of myself, so if I find it interesting, generally it gets published.
3. What’s your current job?
I get asked this a lot, generally I don’t answer because I think it’s a bit weird to post where you work on the internet. As much as I love you readers, I don’t want one of you showing up at my work places. That said, I feel comfortable saying that I work at Best Buy Canada headquarters and spend a little time there each week, with the rest of my hours done from home. I also dabble in a little freelance social media and fashion work, ex. fit modeling for Fidelity Denim. In addition, I spend a few nights a week serving tables at a local casual-fine dining restaurant – I like to shop, if you haven’t noticed. ; )
4. So are leggings totally out? I thought they were okay with tunic style tops? Are skinny jeans still cool?
MY MESSAGE HERE IS THAT LEGGINGS ARE NOT PANTS. THEY NEVER HAVE BEEN, NEVER WILL BE. I don’t want to see every crook and cranny of your, um, area. Wear a LONG sweater, or tunic. Or, better yet, throw away your leggings. If you read my NYC posts, you will remember that I was a giant hypocrite and wore leggings for the flight to NYC (traveling is a whole other story, and I wore a long shirt with them.) I really hate the way they look, thing is, I know they don’t add any bulk, but ladies, they are the most unflattering things. I swear they make thighs look double the size that they look in good denim. And most tunics only emphasize this. Skinny jeans will never be out, I think we are passed having only one style of denim per season being “in.” However, let’s keep in mind that tapered pants are probably not the most flattering for all sizes of women. We must wear what compliments and flatters our own bodies, regardless of what the magazines say. What do they know anyways? They show us the trends on stick-thin 16 year olds. *eye-roll*
5. If you could add anything to your wardrobe right this moment, what would it be?
A YSL bag-any kind, flat tan leather boots and a great big cashmere plaid scarf.
6. I have a red tommy hilfiger designer purse and I have never used it what should I wear it with?
Considering that I have no idea what this purse looks like or what it’s meant to be used for – evening, day or work, I’ll give a recommendation based on the colour. I ADORE red. Let’s assume this is some kind of day bag and you want to wear it during the fall/winter seasons. I would pair it with dark denim and a navy pea coat (I don’t love black and red together, although if it was a black leather bomber I think I would feel differently). If you’re looking for a practical look, how about a cream sweater under a white puffy vest for the festive season? Accessorize with a plaid scarf that has a little red stripe in it, or perhaps a tan/caramel scarf. On that note, own any tan/caramel coloured sweaters or jackets/coats? What’s more chic than tan and red? Oooh and add red lipstick. I know this is a little different, but my Kate Spade purse is a violent shade of hot pink and sometimes it’s challenging to pair it with a casual outfit during the colder seasons. Last night I wore it with all sorts of black textures (leather, denim, wool and cotton) and hot pink lipstick. I was rather pleased with the effect; the lipstick tied it together.
7. What three things do you think a PR/marketing person must have to make themselves successful in the business world?
If I had the answer I’d be out there running some crazy big PR operation! *One day!* But I think gumption, a unique view and unique ideas and a big personality are all key to becoming majorly successful. (Why isn’t majorly a word? Perhaps the Oxford dictionary ought to be introduced to Victoria Beckham, who is majorly major. Oh wait, I just looked it up, it’s counted as slang on dictionary.com. Just FYI.)
8. What do you describe your style as?
Oh good heavens, you may have noticed that my style changes daily. One day I’m nautical, the next preppy, the next more rock and roll. The continuous theme may be that I feel more comfortable in conservative clothes – as in clothes that don’t expose a lot of skin as opposed to boring, plain clothes. I adore pattern and texture.
9. I bought a black skinny tie from H&M’s men’s section. i bought it for my son, but I’d like to wear it at my business-casual job. Any thoughts on possible outfits?
Ooh! I love this question! I think a good tie on a woman is hot! I think you could really pull off the tie with a good quality v-neck style cardigan. I say good quality, because if the cardi is a cheapie (while those are great), the look could come off a bit teen punk. I say do a chunky grey wool cardigan with dark jeans, or dress pants if you have to wear those to the office. Heels are a must to keep the look feminine. It’s also important to remember that the silhouettes of your clothing will really lend themselves to either making this outfit a smash or an “attempt.” Go for a fitted white shirt, a cardi that shows your shape and fitted jeans. Hope that helps!
The question and answer period is now over. (Until you ask me more questions).

For all the skeptics out there, please tell me you’ve become a Twitter-using, LinkedIn-posting, Facebook-liking social media know-it-all, (Vancouver needs more “social media experts”). Social media is as legit as any form of traditional PR, just look at where Electronics retailer giant Future Shop is looking for their next group of employees, Twitter and Facebook. I came across this article in the Vancouver Sun just this morning and think it’s a must share:
Job-hunting 2.0: It’s who you know and how you know them
This past week I joined dozens of fashion loving social people at Opus for an Obakki showcase. I do have a small post coming, but in the meantime, here’s a photo that Anthony Sedlak, entrepreneur and chef extraordinaire, took on his iPhone and sent to me. (Wearing: Vintage sequin jacket, H&M oversized tee, and Fidelity jeans, but you can’t see them.)

Lately I’ve been deeply immersed in all things communications. I’ve spent the last four weeks working with a well-known and respected Canadian company at their head quarters in corporate communications. Today I found this video highlighting the benefits of creating a public blog for your company, whether it be corporate or a small operation. BLOGGING IS AN AMAZING TOOL FOR DELIVERING A MESSAGE THAT YOU CONTROL AND SHAPE. Check out the video here and see why blogging can benefit you:
By the way, if you don’t already blog and seek help on how to go about it, contact me! I’m blog-obsessed.

Wearing: Zara leather jacket that I attached a piece of vintage fur to, Alternative Apparel hoodie, (this season), Dynamite tank, Fidelity jeans, Browns boots, (this season), Gianni Chiarini leather carry-all.
Today the weather felt just right. In fact, it quite suited my mood. I spent the morning trying to be as productive as possible, then ran out for a lunch meeting, and now find myself again at home with Marie. She’s actually sitting right beside me on the desk, edging on the computer. I keep having to push her off because she tends to mess with my typing. She’s the best little companion a girl could ask for! I must go now, press releases and research call my name.
What I get most excited about for fall is playing in the leaves at Stanley Park, big giant lattes, mittens, fur and cozy layers. What do you love about fall?
Traveling with my nerd-box, (computer), as always! Mmmm fall : )

I am lying belly-down on my incredibly comfortable yellow sofa, staring out into the grey sky and rain soaked street. I can’t help but love the rain, when I’m inside of course. And even better, I have no obligations today, thus making the rain welcomed as I curl up with old movies, (Arabesque ft. Gregory Peck and Sophia Loren) and my current flavor of chick lit, Chasing Harry Winston. Marie is also curled up beside me, having spent most of the morning chasing ribbons from my ballet shoes around, last night I pulled out my beloved pointe shoes for the first time in years, and managed to squeeze my feet into them again! Here is a blog post of a random collection of images and thoughts from the past week. Hope you’re enjoying the rain, or sun, wherever you are!
FYI I’m wearing a bodysuit under the shirt, which is from H&M. Pointe shoes by Bloch.
Last week I spent a quiet night at home alone with the lights off and tons of candles lit around my apartment, turned on some Norah Jones and cuddled up with a giant mug of tea. *sigh* Delightful!
Also last week Katie K., (she works at Fidelity Denim), and I went to an event hosted by Alexandra Isenberg of Searching for Style at Opus for Imran Ahmed of the Business of Fashion. Imran spoke about luxury houses’ use of social media, and how some are really embracing it, like Burberry. The talk was informative and interesting, very glad to have been a part of it! A big thank you to Alexandra for putting on such a wonderful event! (And Skyy Vodka for those yummy cocktails!) Apologies in advance for my not-so-great photos this post, my little Canon just fits so much better into my purse than the giant Nikon.
That’s all for now, much more to catch up on and to come! …. I do believe I mentioned I met Lance Bass…
LOVE NYC.
Back soon!

1. Other than blogging, what it is that you do for a living? Well, my current career goal is to work for a corporate company as a PR/Communications specialist so I am working as an intern. I also attend fabulous parties, photo shoots, fashion shows and social media events which is basically a full time job in itself-who will pay me for this?? However, I pay the bills by serving tables a few nights a week. I’m not telling you where, though it is a very nice place.
2. How did you find your apartment? Is it reasonable for the area? I live in Vancouver’s quiet and quaint West End. I have a junior one bedroom with a view of English Bay and pay a very reasonable amount, lower than what most places seem to be going for. I lucked out with my place! I found it by walking around the area looking for signs indicating availability, but I’m sure you could also find a lot on craigslist!
3. What are you biggest pet peeves? Hmm… I think probably inconsistency with people. For example, acting one way then acting polar opposite. I like consistency. That and when you’re out for dinner with someone and they’re rude to the server, not good.
4. Will you take pictures of your flat soon? And your closet? Sure, I can do that very soon for you! Keep checking back!
5. What are your favourite tv shows that you don’t like to miss? Well, I don’t watch much tv since I don’t own one, but I love Gossip Girl, 60 Minutes and 20/20. I can also get pretty wrapped up in any of TLC’s baking shows. OOOH and I love all the “Real Housewives” shows, can’t wait for the DC version to air!
6. What radio station do you listen to? If it’s on, it’s probably tuned into the beat 94.5. I like dance music.
7. Have you met any other bloggers? Who? Are you talkin Vancouver bloggers? If so, then I would say just about all.
8. What’s your favourite restaurant in Vancity? Oh, this is hard. I like so many for many different reasons. If I have to choose just one, then probably Joe Fortes, sitting on the patio with a cosmo and a steak. Mmmm.
9. Do you like twitter or facebook better for communicating? Twitter is great for connecting with the community, but Facebook is better for friends. Phone is best though.
10. What makes you nervous? Not knowing what I am going to wear to an important event, or not have a hand bag to match with my shoes for an important event. Trivial, I know, but that’s me.
11. What’s your favourite ice cream flavor? Chocolate!!
12. What is your target audience for your brand, StyleStruck or blog? Will it grow to be older as time goes on, or stay the same? Interesting question. I think my target audience is a woman between 18 and 30 who appreciate fashion as well as business. I hope to keep my current readers, so that as I get older and continue to blog, my readers will continue to follow me and read StyleStruck.ca.
13. Do you ever do online shopping? No, never have and am not likely to start. Shopping is my cardio and I really do prefer to try things on and see them in person.
14. Would you consider yourself a tidy or an unorganized person? Is your closet organized? I would say I can be a very organized person and that most of the time I am tidy. At the moment my closet is a bit of a mess since I am re-organizing everything as I ready my wardrobe for fall. (Though the time to pull on any sort of a sweater is still months away it seems.) I like to always be clean, but I can’t say that I am always tidy.
15. How would you describe yourself in 3 words? Oh heavens, I don’t know. I would hope others would say I am outgoing, friendly and stylish. I hope. And possibly a bit smart as well.
Well, that’s it for now! I will answer more soon, thanks for asking!

Since I’ve added Formspring to my blog, the questions have come rushing in! Rather than answer each question individually, I thought I’d do a post on them, so the questions and answers are shared! Here we go!
1. What are my favourite flowers? Definitely peonies! Sadly, they’re poisonous to kitties so I no longer bring them into my home. I also love hydrangeas!
2. Who’s my favourite model? Hands down Abbey Lee Kershaw! Adorable. (It used to be Agyness Deyn, was who the inspiration behind cutting my hair short a couple years ago).
3. How do I keep my skin so nice? Well, I battle with keeping good skin just as everyone does. Recently I’ve gotten more serious about a skin care routine and now use Skoah products religiously every morning and night. Other than that, I try to drink lots of water, eat well and of course avoid smoking. (Never have, never will).
4. Do you ever go thrifting? What are your favourite stores to get vintage clothes? Yes, I adore vintage clothing, though lately I haven’t had much time to shop. I would say that I don’t have a favourite vintage shop, as each may hold one treasure amongst a sea of not-so-great pieces. But generally Deluxe Junk in Gastown is good, as is Front & Company on Main St.
5. Who do you relate the most with out of the SATC girls? All of them, for different reasons. Just like with the Spice Girls back in the day, one day I’m feeling sassy, the next I’m feeling a bit more conservative. There’s a piece of each girl in all of us, which I think is a large part of the reason Sex and the City has done so well.
6. Do you ever feel insecure about yourself? I used to more than I do now. Of course I have my moments, but as I get older, I find that I face less insecurities. Confidence is key!
7. What personality were you in high school? I was fairly outgoing and friends with an eclectic mix of people. I was very academically inclined and was therefor gung-ho for committees like the student council and grad committee. I was also a tad obsessed with acquiring as many academic awards as I could. I guess that means I’ve always been a bit of a geek!
8. Do I get many hurtful comments on my blog? Occasionally I get a random comment telling me an outfit is horrible. Here’s what I think about negative comments: if that person is reading my blog everyday and continually checking up on what I’m up to, then I will give them the satisfaction of having their comment posted. After all, they’re adding to my number of visitors each day! I knew that when I started a blog I was making myself susceptible to criticism, heck, I was asking for it by putting my life on the web! (To those of you who do make the few negative comments, thanks for reading!)
9. What makes a true and great friend? My very closest friends are the girls in my life who I can tell everything and anything to. They’re the girls who laugh at me, laugh with me and leave the unsolicited advice at home.
10. In social parties, do you go up to strangers and start a conversation or are you more reserved and prefer to be approached by people? Both! I love to chat with everyone! I’m certainly not shy!
Okay, that’s it for now. If you didn’t see the question you asked listed here, that’s because in the past few days since I have installed Formspring, I’ve received a lot of questions. I’ll answer more in the coming days! : ) Thanks for your interest!!
