My Style!

Just a follow up since last weeks' craziness..... I’m feeling a lot more rested because our newest project just wrapped up!  Yea!  Check out the What’s New section on our site to see the latest finished stunning new CBH.  I just love all the sparkle and of course have tried it on a time or two while making sure there wasn't a stone left out of place.  I think this jacket is tastefully flashy yet sophisticated.  Here’s a peek!



So what's my style, you ask? Personally not too exciting, but I will let you be the judge.... here are some recent snapshots of me in my everyday clothes, and a few fun dress-up ones too.  I'm pretty classic, maybe even a little conservative for everyday style.  I've noticed as I get older, or let’s say..... more mature as a woman, I'm drawn to quality classic pieces.  How boring!  More and more my feminine side is drawn to the warmer tones of reds, browns, pinks, colors with a golden hue like butternut squash.... subconsciously I think I'm trying to offset the cooler grayish blue circles I notice under my eyes that seem to get more noticeable by the day!  I'm sure you know what I'm talking about!  LOL !

I like nice quality clothes that last because their style is simple, they're well-made, fit me great and aren't real trendy.  I tend to favor timeless solid colors, not many prints, maybe an occasional stripe or a single statement piece. Overall I prefer a clean look, not too fussy.  I will admit to being a sucker for good accessories, nice boots, bags, glasses, or a scarf.... but not the popular over-the-top celebrity styles.  Most are wearing way too much and way too many pieces altogether in a single outfit for me.  I will say I am fond of a little shiny gold detail here and there, a nice buckle or clasp detail on my handbag or pair of heels.  I have many friends who shop a lot and always look very cute and stylish.  They are well accessorized and in the latest seasons' trend.  They look great, but I wouldn't say I fall in that category!  My day-to-day style may be less than exciting..... But I love to play dress-up any time I get the chance.


Luckily this summer I've had some fun getting all dolled up!  I enjoy being a girly-girl and wearing my party dresses whenever there's a chance! Celebrations are a lot of fun because outside the show ring life isn't always so glamorous :(  Besides those special occasions there is one other super fun time of year I always look forward to, Halloween!  I still have as much fun putting on my costume as I remember when I was a little kid. This is a favorite holiday of mine because…… you guessed it, I love to try to outdo myself every year getting more and more elaborate with my costumes.  Most of my best creations are a combination of thrift store finds and kitschy homemade pieces stuck together with the help of my favorite tool, my handy dandy glue gun!

Having the privilege to get to design and create in my daily life is an important outlet for me, even if sometimes it gets a little stressful!  I hope all you gals are enjoying exploring your personal style and wearing what makes you happy, both in and out of the show ring, whether you’re the type who looks forward to slipping on a coveted pleasure jacket before entering the ring or maybe you're more of a dress down comfort casual type girl.  For me most of the time nothing sounds better than slipping on my favorite pair of worn-out old jeans.  I hope the clothes we make have a special place in your wardrobe and are some of your most favorite things to wear!  I hope you feel confident and beautiful every time you wear Heather's Hot Couture.  Our clothes are made for fun and should make you feel good.


Sincerely,
Heather
