Unleash Your Inner Rock Star To Attain True Style!

"'In my rear view mirror my life is getting clearer."

(Lost Highway, Jon Bon Jovi)

My annual pilgrimage to Montana allows me giddy moments of pure joy as I belt out the lyrics to songs like, "Bad Medicine," while soaking up the gorgeous scenery with my best cheerleader beside me - my dog, Shadow. This glee got me thinking about how some of my customers would benefit so greatly from a little "me-time" of their own.

It is times like these that build your inner fighter - the confidence that keeps you on your own team. Confidence is the crucial ingredient and foundation of being stylish - not age, size, or looks. Without confidence, a woman will never be able to look at accessories, colour, sparkle ... and life without fear.

So, rather than mimicking other people's style from a magazine, unleash your inner rock star, embrace your confidence, and try something new, bright, and sparkly.

"'cuz if there's something better baby, well I haven't found it yet..whoa oh oh!.."
(Bon Jovi, "Bad Medicine")

Remembering To Bet On Ourselves

Anyone who knows me... even a little, knows I aspire to be the fourth Dixie Chick. Even without my supreme adoration for them, their "Shut Up & Sing," movie is such a fantastic inferno of inspiration to do whatever you want. The fashion is also STILL spectacular as an added bonus. I totally suggest you re-visit this movie again soon.

In the movie, record executives suggest the Chicks take the safe choice of accepting a tour sponsorship because of fears that it might not sell out. Natalie Maines' response is, "It would be harder for me to work on a tour...knowing that I didn't bet on myself when I knew I should. ...If you take a gamble on yourself, it lights a fire. It makes you fight! ... BRING IT ON!"

Bring it on, is right. Never lose sight of your power to achieve anything you want, even when all odds seem to be against it. ROCK ON!

The Grip of Twilight

The Grip of Twilight:

Who would have thought that SO many of my late nights and early mornings would be completed OWNED by this book series? Not me.

Stephanie Meyer's use of words certainly creates an electric craving between Bella and Edward that leaves the reader wanting a vampire like Edward for herself. When you add this chemistry to a little vampire adventure, the result is a book series that has taken my imagination and given it a ride that it has been craving since my very real dream of singing on stage with Steven Tyler of Aerosmith.

The Bella Twilight Jacket:
It is no wonder, then, that I am carrying the Bella Twilight jacket at Changes Vancouver and on my online store (www.changesclothing.com). The jacket is designed by BB Dakota, and is the same one worn in the movie forest scene where Bella tells Edward, "I Know What You Are" and the ballet stuido vampire brawl scene.

The jacket is fantastic because of the fleece lining, hood, fit, and the many pockets, not to mention the button detailing. The two front pockets are perfect for your keys, wallet and cell. This jacket is perfect for summer evenings and well into fall. I love mine.
