Happy 3rd Birthday!

December 22, 2011 Michelle personal

Today is my blog birthday!

The Fierce Glamour is 3 years old!

I can’t believe how fast it seems to have gone. It kind of gets lost on the shuffle of Christmas, but I never forget it! As other bloggers can probably agree, I feel like this blog is one of my best friends. I spend a lot of time and thought on content, posts, pictures, and where it is going. Each year brings a little more growth. This year:

I’ve participated in some big fashion challenges “Bloggers Do It Better” and “IFB Challenges“
You’ve seen more outfit posts.
I hosted my first giveaway and my first Link-up post.
My posts are now featured on BSCENEmag.com.

You’ll see a lot more stuff to come this next year. Better content that’s fresh for you and fun for me to write. I’m hoping to attend the Texas Style Council, feature guest posts, do more product reviews, and host more giveaways. I look forward to an even better future for The Fierce Glamour and hope you stay along for the ride. Most of all, thank YOU for clicking on my little home of the web and staying interested! I appreciate it!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!

A New Dress every day around $1, oh yes she did!

August 25, 2010 Michelle Clothes, fashion

You may have read this report on Yahoo! last week, which is where I found it. But I’m still fascinated and if you haven’t, stay tuned for an awesome read about the creative idea a girl had to save money and get cute clothes!

Concept: “365 days. 365 items of clothing. 365 dollars” [NewDressADay]

Reality: the New Dress A Day blog

Marisa decided that she “will be foregoing trips to Bloomies and Nordstrom for brand new gear. Goodbye to H&M purchases and accessory grabbing at Forever 21. And seeing the “must have” French Connection dress in People’s Style Watch will just have to suffice as a cut out on my inspiration board.

Instead, the only shopping that I’ll be able to do is that of pieces that have been used and worn already. So long to mall trips and hello to sifting through piles of vintage pieces at flea markets and at neighborhood garage sales. Each day for the entire year, I’m going to introduce a new piece into my existing wardrobe that I’ve found from these places. On top of this, I’m giving myself a budget of $1 a day.” [NewDressADay]

So the yahoo article got me interested and I was hooked. I spent the next 2 hours reading through her whole year so far (which will come to an end in Nov.). The stuff she had done is amazing. My favorites are the befores/afters, of course! The fact that she buys these clothes, some that are truly awful to look at much less wear, and turns them into such chic little dresses, skirts and tops is motivating!

After all my reading I was so inspired to grab my sewing machine and head to Good Will and sew my heart out, knowing this wouldn’t work on MANY levels. A) I don’t know how to sew B) I don’t know how to sew. Regardless, I’m getting inspiration and happiness from Marisa’s blog and tune in everyday to see how the muumuu becomes the floral mini! Take a look at some of my fave of her transformations!
