maxi dress (piper street) / diaper bag (lily jade)

The thought of making the switch to carrying a purse to a diaper bag used to be a scary thought. Now that I have been in this baby stage for 2+ years I love diaper bags way more so than purses, true story. I love the durability of diaper bags, how many compartments there are and how I am always carrying around treats, water, and wipes. I am addicted to wipes and will carry them with forever, they have saved me in many and most sticky situations. I  am partial to these designer diaper bags from Lily Jade super cute and great price!

What you are looking at is pretty much my uniform for this upcoming fall and winter. Last year I wore nothing but booties, which I still love, but this year I have added in some over-the-knee boots. Again these are my first pair. If you haven’t guessed already my blog is about helping myself and others learn how to be fashionable. I have always loved fashion, but I had a love a dance more. Now that I am older and dancing is more limited and it is less about me and more about my children, I now have found a love in fashion. It first started with dressing my kids and now as I no longer wear dance clothes 24/7 I am stepping into my own. I have had tons of help from my husband, he is the real fashionista in the family. Without him and his fashion sense there would be no Birdalamode, how sad would that be:)

It feels so good to be blogging again. I took a couple days off (3) because I was filming a commercial and man that was a lot of (fun) work. I got a small dose of what it is like to be in a huge production. It really is more work then anyone can really comprehend. I have done plenty of shoots, and have been in a Kotex Commercial before but I have never been in a production this big.

We worked from 8am to midnight sometimes earlier and sometimes later for a couple consecutive days. I spoke with other actors on set and they said this was nothing. When comes to a real movie, which several of them had done before, they said it was like that for months.

I have gained a whole new level of respect for those who are in the movie business. I really loved every min of it. And hope to do more projects like this in the future. I really am so inspired by this experience.

I think the absolute coolest thing that the camera crew did was when we would film at midnight they could make it look like it was mid day by putting a white back round on the windows and bright huge lights behind it. After we were done filming I would go outside and be shocked that it was night.

I am so thankful for this experience and for all the talented and awesome people I met and became friends with. I can’t wait until it airs.

I always like to jump the gun by starting think of fun cozy fall outfits. Can you believe this is my first pair of UGG boots! Crazy right! I have the slippers, but never bought the boots b/c I thought I would look short and stumpy. Just how I avoided wearing the color red my whole life, thinking that red would make any zits on my face look redder,  I now am totally embracing my new love of my UGG boots!
