I love to visit the blog of The Glamourai.
She has an amazing style and shows great poses. I share her obsession for Fashion, Interiors and People. She shows glamour in various ways.

I enjoyed especially her posts of Brimfields Antiques Market and Manhattan Casa Apfel. Style icon Iris Apfel is also known as Rara Avis, meaning rare bird. Glamour is also about daring to be different. To combine which normally isn't merged. To bring different styles together and make it your own Glamour.

Enjoy,

STYLEBUBBLE SURPRISE

(click to enlarge image)

The last weeks were so busy. Meetings, deadlines, Amsterdam Fashion Week.
Today I finally found time to visit a few of my favourite sites again. And to my surprise I see the illustration that I made of Style Bubble at her blog at January 31, 2011. Susie posts these great and varied photo series and I love her cheeky way of writing.

Last week I completed a special assignment. For a new magazine to come out soon. More info later at my blog. Every time I‘m glad with the surprising contracts that are being awarded towards me, the people I meet, the opportunities and invitations I get and most of all the people who love me back. I love the world of fashion.

Enjoy,
Nancy
