i have been doing some heart testing this past few weeks
and i get the results back today.
going a bit nuts waiting for my doctors appointment.
my symptoms are very emblematic of two different things:
a heart condition that requires surgery
or
stress

i really hope its the latter!

earrings - betsey johnson
shirt - from my upcoming clothing line - http://www.gwiinclothing.com
jeans (i never wear jeans!) - paige denim
chunky sandals - frye

have mercy.
there is nothing like shooting and editing millions of photos of ... yourself.
if i have to see my face again imgunna.. imgunna.. oh imgunna just not walk by any mirrors.

i decided to re-shoot my website because for years people have been saying
"i want to see the hats on a real person!!"
i was always a little bit against this, i like my pieces to be untouched, crisp and unworn.
but, eh i cracked! give the people what they want.
and i actually really like it this way!

also, i have added some pieces to my etsy.
i started my etsy a hundred years ago and never really put anything in it
(hence the 2 sales)
to try and lure some etsy shoppers i am offering free shipping on everything!
(on my website too! just enter "free" at checkout)

want to see?

i closed my ebay shop for a couple of weeks,
i was getting some really difficult customers and it was just too much to deal with.
but now i have re-opened!
*almost everything in the shop is just $20*
everything is 'buy it now'
and sorry to say, but am not shipping outside of the US anymore (at this point)
also, i have downgraded from the "ebay store" to just regular old ebay

so come over and check it out!
