Shopping in Los Angeles Garment Distric

For most of you that don't know me I LOVE TO SHOP! All though I do admit since having Lincoln that has deterred me from the shops. Buuttt thank goodness for web shopping. :) When I get the chance to have business trip to LA I always take my Bff Wendy to help me not to spend so much. She really is just there for my husbands protection (lol)
When we first get there we hit up our favorite shops, then head over too the Alley area. We then like to shop at the little fabric shops around Michael Levines to get odds and ends. Michael Levines if you haven't been there YOU MUST GO! They have all the amazing prints, but they are much pricier than other fabric shops of course. I wish I would have taken more pictures of my trip but, I was too busy shopping. Fabric is my addiction and I need counseling according to some people. But who cares right? All you ladies like cool new prints all the time. (So I always tell myself)

Also I have to add in about my blogging. I am not a writer at all (my typing is Oribble without an H because H's are EW!) Jimmy Fallon Soo I basically type how I talk Ha! Anyway thanks for dropping in see you next time.
xoxo

One of the most rewarding thing to me is to be able to Give. I have always been notorious for giving

from my wardrobe or what ever I had, when someone commented they liked it. Even if they were my favorite Ugg pair of boots ha! 

Gina Lee from Gina Lee Photography Redlands, CA. Asked if I would donate to their stash of goodies

they were going to take to a Village in Guatemala. I felt honored to be able to participate in their mission. 

Just wish I could have gone myself. A few Photographers went out there for business and were able to open their hearts to give a little piece of the US to them. Hats off to those ladies that blessed the Villagers of Guatemala

Below is just a few shots of some happy little princesses that received our gifts.

Job well done!
