RE-ROUTE...ARE YOU ON THE RIGHT TRACK FOR 2013?

Twenty-Twelve is almost to a close  for some that means it's time to make promises to yourself, resolutions to the universe, or adding new and improved lifestyle  goals to twenty-thirteen's agenda.  For others it's a time of soul searching and cleansing. Where do you stand as of today? I must say for myself this was a year of renewed spirit, re-discovery, obstacles, and tested blessings.  Tested Blessings are things, situations,  and people God wants you to see.  Life isn't perfect and on a occasion the universe will show you just that.  How you deal with it can be seen as a blessing or barrier. Opening yourself up to the blessing of making changes is God's way of offering a subtle whisper.   Ignoring the whisper only makes the sound louder.

This year I not only had several plans re-routed, but also monumental changes to key individuals in my circle. While re-positioning my team, I also had to be a supportive associate, partner, friend, sister, daughter and most importantly "Child of God" just to name a few.  As various blocks were removed from my life, I also came to realization that this was a year of re-structuring.  Re-structuring is a blessing from God for you to re-build the foundation. When your foundation isn't strong the structure will start to slip and if you're building a structure on a high mountain over looking the most beautiful existence of landscape. That's a pretty high fall to take without the right team. 

Location, Location, Location...

In order to position yourself  on the right location it may call for a new construction team to design the future-scape you so desire.  In doing that comes with consequences; Consequences that associates, friends, and family may not understand.  But it order to have a well diverse team that  supports the foundation, YOU the owner must make changes that not every one agrees with.  As we're going about our day-to-day in life one must keep in mind one word- "LIFE." It is your life and you can only live it for two people yourself and God.  This is why it's important to have a productive, positive team in place who supports you immensely. Through the clear sunny days, cloudiness, fogginess, and turbulent  storms. 




God will often take you through what doesn't feel good to receive something far greater. Although directions are giving along the way, God's Positioning Satellite (GPS) may not always be followed.   Life is about having the right seeds to plant to produce a harvest of substantial blessings. If there is a bad seed planted during your season, you'll need to dig deep and start from scratch.  Starting from scratch is a phenomenal opportunity to get things right. Right equals re-setting the navigation, Right is having another chance to re-plant better seeds,  Right is God's way of saying "I love you", Right is re-routing  while aligning the tools to create a harvest that you "RIGHTFULLY" deserve.  As we say good-bye to twenty-twelve do not feel guilty about leaving the bad seeds behind.   Twenty-Thirteen is the beginning of a New Season.  In order to produce the harvest you desire its time to plant seeds that produce growth.

Soulful Reminder: Luke 8:15 And the seeds that feel on the good soil represent honest, good hearted people who hear God's word, cling to it, and patiently produce a huge harvest. (Holy Bible NLT, 2007).

You can't excel to the next level without passing the test and passing the test always comes with a Testimony.  Share your testimony with our readers so they may experienced a year of substantial harvest in "Twenty-Thirteen 2013."

Until next time (2013) live FABULOUS...

Take Six with Impact Radio Host "On the Go with Tiffany Patton"

Tiffany has interviewed some of the most prominent musicians and inspirational motivators in the industry. ASK KIMBERLY Take Six is a Q & A of six personal questions of celebrities in the Fashion, Beauty, and Entertainment industry who are dancing to the tune of their own beat while staying true to self. 

Impacting You: Sprint, Soul, and Body

Tiffany N. Patton, a native Detroiter, is the host and producer of “On the Go with Tiffany Patton” (OTGWTP)  a late afternoon Jazz and Neo-Soul radio segment which airs weekdays (Monday,Wednesday & Friday), 2PM-4PM on Impact Radio Network online or via mobile app with 50,000 listeners a week. Tiffany's Co-Host Yancyy, a native Detroiter, is a gifted saxophonist and composer. He has also composed with Grammy Award winning producer, Phil Davis. Yancyy was the headline artist for the Smooth Grooves European throughout Germany and Italy. In September of 2010 and  June of 2011, Yancyy was the headline artist for the Alaska Jazz Festival and in September 2011 his music was selected for The Weather Channels’ playlist.

 Take Six with Impact Radio Host "On the Go with Tiffany Patton"



Take 6ix Ques #1. As one of the host for Impact Radio what would you like our readers to take away from listening to the show On the Go with Tiffany?

OTGWT Answer: That God desires for us to live a life of balance, desiring one to be whole in every area of your life. Most importantly he desires for you to be uniquely you for his love is unconditionally. He is not like man and doesn't  love you based on conditions, his love is unconditional. God doesn't want us to look at the outward appearance, however focusing on our inner spirit.  God is not into religion, but is "Big" on relationships and having an opened one with you, welcoming you just as you are.

Take 6ix Ques #2. If God spoke to in a dream and said "Tiffany I'll grant you any blessing you like." What would you ask for?

OTGWT Answer: "Supernatural Wisdom."  Many times when I look back over my life experiencing adversity, trials or tribulation, it was truly based on me not having the proper wisdom concerning that situation.  Wisdom provides you the counsel to be the BEST in every possible situation while enhancing your ability to make sound decisions in your day to day life causing it to trump emotions and feelings. Supernatural Wisdom gives me "Godly Wisdom" concerning all situations and  guides me on making decisions not only for myself, but others as well.  

Take 6ix Ques #3. Name six of  your favorite interviews that you had the pleasure of showcasing on your show and provide one word that exemplifies each guest interviewed.


OTGWT Answer: 

1. Musiq Soulchild "Love" 

2. Dr. Maya Angelou "Profound"
3. Lamman Rucker  "Charismatic"
4. Jonathan Butler "Humble"
5. Earnest Pugh "Worship"
6. Lisa McClendon "Infallible"

 
Take 6ix Ques #4. Tiffany, as a female host in a male dominated industry could you provide a Golden Nugget of Inspiration to our readers and any young lady who is seeking to tap into the entertainment industry?

OTGWT Answer: Be true to who you are and who God has created you to be.  "Your" unique divine gift shall make room for you.

Take 6ix Ques #5. As Twenty-Twelve comes to end what were two highlight's from the show that left a lasting impression on you?

OTGWT Answer: There were several highlights that planted a seed of impression on me, while I definitely  can provide two; three is a charm. 

(1) Dr. Maya Angelou, stated in our interview how powerful we are as individuals.  If we would only tap in and be conscious of it (paraphrasing). By sowing love and kindness as simple as smiling at someone  walking down the street can totally change the course and direction in someones day. (2) The Quincy Jones of Gospel, Ben Tankard's  lasting impression is  there's no limit as to where you can go in life. Embrace your calling, while simply  changing your way of thinking. Ben states "you don't know how much you're not doing until you meet someone who is really doing" "what goes from the heart goes to the heart." and (3) Radio Personality, Frankie Darcell mentions sometimes we may have plans and visions for our life and press with such intensity towards how "we" think our lives should go. So much so that we don't stop long enough to see if our way or will is God's will for our lives.  Sometimes God will allow a thing to occur (so intense that it is intended to gain your attention) something that the enemy meant for your demise however, God allowing it for your direction to be changed from your will to his will. In the long run...The very BEST plan for your life. 

Take 6ix Ques 6: To truly get to know someone its important you ask the right questions and seeing that I know you fairly well, but our readers don't lets give them an inside scoop to what's next for Tiffany on the Go?

OTGWT Answer: In the New Year, I have plans to literally take my show on the Go, occasionally stepping out of the studio and producing more intense thought provoking shows. Being one of the voices for Impact Radio provides me the platform to utilize my voice in a greater way.  Invoking change by sharing stories of inspiration, grace, and  whispers from God that  not only make an impact on our listeners, but allows him  to remove the  limits off  ourselves while freely moving us from a place of complacency to a place of purpose in life. "Giving Back"  Giving back weighs heavy on my heart  and one of  my mission's for Twenty-Thirteen. Operating and being more involved in Philanthropic Causes to increase awareness and change that its not always about you, but helping others in the process of this thing we call life. And lastly, but certainly not least putting the finally touches on my book while pursing my mission in ministry and theater plays.

Take 6ix: That's a tall list of goals. I know with your determination, dedication to your work and Gods divine guidance. I see blessings in store for you personally and your show Tiffany On the Go. I guess that's  why the industry affectionately calls you Media Maven. We thank you for this exclusive Take Six interview, we'll be closely watching as you continue to make an inspiration impact.

You can tune into On the Go with Tiffany on Impact Radio at: www.impactradionetwork.com  Monday - Wednesday 2:00 pm - 4:00 pm and on Friday's from 3:00 pm - 5:00 pm, EST.  Follow Tiffany on Twitter @OntheGowTiffany.  For more details on Tiffany's Radio Show, On the Go with Tiffany your link to Love, Life, and Liberty  view her website at:  www.tiffanyonthego.com

2012 Black Girls Rock Profound Quotes

Black Girls Rock Fashion, Beauty,  and Power: One question that is often presented to me  is What Encompasses Beauty?  Over the years I have shared many quotes as what I think defines beauty although, the meaning will vary with each individual woman. Finding the true essence of what defines your style & beauty must come from within. I believe every woman has her defining style whether its through the twinkle in her eye, the fullness of her lips,  the sway in her stride or the strength in her presence. I can walk-up to an individual and compliment her without a second thought that she is competition. We must learn to support each other, as a team, we can be  more effective standing together, than trying to stand alone.  An inspiring moment I look forward to every year is "Black Girls Rock"  as I sit and watch the show, for me its not about color, but the character these women exude should make any woman strive to be and do better.  Each year I have a take away that I share and below is last years.
Black Girls Rock (BGR)
B~Beautifully
G~Gratifying
R~Remembrance
that "WE" Matter...
~Kimberly~

BGR- Inspires me to look deep within the essence of not only myself, but also the power of other women. POWER isn't just about leadership. Understanding that each one of us is in control of turning the power within on. Owning the inner essence of who you are ; who you want to be, and allowing yourself to have a support team that guides you all the way. While dressing-up and getting GLAM is fun, true GLAM is "God Loves Always Magnifies." To view last years Black Girls Rock.


2012 Black Girls Rock Profound Quotes:I'm thankful for Beverly Bond, Founder of Black Girls Rock, a former model,  renowned DJ, and now executive producer of an awards show, which is named after her organization, Black Girls Rock!. Black Girls Rock!, Inc is a nonprofit, youth empowerment and mentoring organization that introduces music, poetry and theater to women of color. The annual Black Girl Rock awards aired recently on BET  Co-Hosting for a second time were, Tracee Ellis Ross and Regina King.

As Beverly Bond continues to  bring such awareness to the forefront of what are some extraordinary, electrifying, and amazing women in our country. The essence of education and the background these woman exude is priceless, definitely  footsteps any woman would strive to walk in. This year after viewing the awards show I took away various profound quotes from the honorees. Although, many were shared two stood out for me that left a lasting imprint in my heart.

Janelle Monae, Face of COVERGIRL, and Singer
 
"Embrace what is unique even if it makes others uncomfortable."


 









 

Alicia Keys, Singer, Actress, Producer, Wife, and Mother
 
"No one knows you better than you, trust yourself". "We are more than capable. Be on fire and set the world  a flame."

There are a few other woman that I find to be FABULOUS WOMEN for various reasons, to see who they are please visit my Pinterest "FABULOUS WOMEN" Board.  I'll be adding to it weekly and should you have a suggestion, please share in the comment section below.

ASK KIMBERLY...Loving Two Whats a Girl to Do?

 

Q: Dear Kimberly
I'm a single woman currently dating two men, which I'm enjoying the company of both. Is it possible to be in love with two people at the same time?

Anomalously Dating Plus 1

A: That's a great question to ask, I'm sure you feel tide between the two of them. While you may have feelings for both of the men, that's  a very strong statement to make that you think you love them both. What you're feeling may be a combination of attraction mixed with confusion because you aren't allowing yourself to be connected to just one. Trying to balance two relationships at the same time ones emotions can easily get misconstrued for something stronger, and in the end not a fair trade to yourself or the gentlemen.  I recommend taking an assessment of your real feelings by writing  five reasons for each on why you love them. I want you to truly take sometime to come up with five answers of substance verses surface. I.e: Martin is attractive. (That's a surface answer, not substance). Get down to the core of character qualities. Upon completion, please follow these 3 Steps  (1) Read once. (2) After reading place aside for three or more days, but no longer than five.  (3)  On day three re-visit your answers. I guarantee you once you place your thoughts on paper  things will become crystal clear.


Many think love is a feeling, however its an action that requires the 3C's: Character, Communication, and  Commitment. The 3C's require participation by two and UN-balanced if only one is contributing.  Try to get pass what you're feeling, because  that is clouding your judgment. Things that make us feel good aren't necessarily good for us, take the emotions out of it so you understand what the true feelings are for both gentlemen. After all is said and done and you still have strong feelings for both, the next step is be honest with both men, as  they should have the option to decide if they want to continue dating you as well. Many are confused by the word dating; the definition has  different meaning for many. Keep in mind both guys may very well know that you're seeing them both, but on the other hand they may not. These goes back to the 3C's "Character" is important in a relationship, if you have none, you can't expect to receive it in return.

Lets Chat...Have a  fashion, beauty, relationship,  or lifestyle question,  email  to Kimberly Clark  our Lifestyle Expert, and you just may see your answer here. If  you like to stay anonymous,  please mention when emailing your question over. Your privacy is our number one priority.

Twenty Two Days of Blessings...#22daysofblessings

Although, this quote is extremely profound.
There is an alternate answer. STRONG: Stop turning to self and turn to God.

Let the countdown begin... Today is the beginning of Fall in addition to the countdown of a very special day. If you've followed my Blog this post comes as no surprise, however for those that are new here let me share what usually happens during the month of September. 

In the past I've shared a Birthday love letter to myself  reflecting on the year whether if its good, bad or indifferent. September provides me an opportunity to evaluate life desires, dreams, and ultimate destiny to reflect, release, and  begin again; as its a new season. The evaluation soothes my soul while opening up an opportunity for others to engage, while sharing their triumphs or struggles.

This past year has been a time of happiness, disappointments, but in the end magnifying life lessons. Today begins a new chapter where I'm creating the storyline that can end anyway I desire. Through the process I'll consult with one chief to guide my footsteps along the way for it is he who keeps me strong to pursue the greatest gift of all.  Over the next twenty two days my gift to self  is the most precious gift God has provided me: the manual that makes this thing called life all worth wild. 

Come along with me on this journey as I share #22daysofblessings via Twitter: @weplanevents @_Kimberly_Clark  with some of my favorites passages, Aha Moments, Gods Whisper, and original Food for the Soul quotes by me.  The universe has a unique way of showing you a preview of life occurrences, but don't get to comfortable because the storyline can be altered at any given time. Just when you think you're headed in one direction, the universe flips the script rewriting a new beginning. The lesson in it all trust God.

Reminder: It wouldn't be #22daysofblessings if we didn't share the message, so please feel free to Retweet (RT) or reply with a personal message or words of encouragement that just may be a blessing to someone else.  To further keep the blessing moving,  please include the following hashtag with tweet #22daysofblessings.

#22daysofblessings Day 1: Psalm 22:9  "Yet you brought me safely from my mother's womb and led me to trust you at my mothers breast." "I was thrust  into your arms at my birth." NLT

Until next time live FABULOUS...

Food for the Soul...Unconditional Love

Unconditional Love

No conditions, only commandments

Two words I receive questions on all the time. "Unconditional Love". Exactly what is the meaning of "Unconditional Love". Although, there are many answers I'll share one that is close & dear to my heart. In order to fully give of yourself to another, you must first trust the process that you are capable to embrace all that love has to offer. Stage One: the details...

My love for you is unconditional. I'll go the the ends of the earth just for you. You say stop, drop and roll, I'm down no questions asked.  I'll continue to follow your footsteps, trust in your word, believe thy will be done and have complete faith in the process. Why? Because you'll do the same for me.  That's the kind of love you're deserving of.

Soulful Reminder:  "I have revealed you to them, and I will continue to do so. Then your love for me will be in them, and I will be in them." John 17:26 Holy Bible NLT (2007)

Until next time live FABULOUS...

ASK KIMBERLY REVIEW~ALWAYS HIT ON THE WINGMAN

Always Hit On the Wingman by JAKE


America's most trusted dating columnist with GLAMOUR Magazine

Any day is a good day when the UPS man shows-up with an unexpected package. It was the most perfect rainy day. Yes, I said perfect rainy day. I love when there's nothing on the schedule and I can just kick my feet-up and relax. All that's missing is a good book. And suddenly there's a knock at the door, but by the time I get to the door. My handsome UPS driver is long gone, but leaves my package.


OK don't get to crazy now, he knew I was home. Just a note I don;t recommend this unless you & your driver have a clear understanding. Plus you must also take into consideration the Thief. Enough about the UPS man. I already know where its from by the address on the label Conde Nast. I rip it open and see the dating book everyone has been asking for. “Always Hit On the Wingman”. Yes, I've been privilege to get first dibs on and provide my ASK KIMBERLY point of view. Now all I need are some snacks.

First some back history on Jake...

For more than fifty years, Glamour magazine's Jake columnist has served as a dating consigliere for millions of American women. Now, in his trademark no-B.S. Voice, Jake offered this indispensable guide for women. What are men really thinking? Among many other secret girl questions, I wont go into great 411 about. Jake has shared a man point of view insight, since 1956.


ASK KIMBERLY point of view...


I grab the book & immediately got comfortable to read it. Cover to cover all 191 pages of it. Anything relationships I'm all in. Its in my nature... The joyful romantic Virgo. I hadn't even got to the contents page & Jake has me laughing histrionically with his intro page: For everyone woman who's ever worn edible lingerie, Facebook-stalked a guy, or gone to bed with her phone on (just in case) and thought: There's got to be a better way. ROTFL (Rolling on the floor laughing). I can only admit to one and that's sleeping with my cell in the bed. I do it all the time & not because I'm waiting on a call. I use it as my alarm to wake-up in addition to read my scriptures first thing in the a.m. That's my story & I'm sticking to it.


I'll Call You... (Is this you ladies~View link)

On to Jake story...


To give you an idea about who Jake is, he's quite similar to Carrie Bradshaw from Sex in the City. There are a few differences though. Jake is kept anonymous and Jake provides a male perspective for the ladies. Jake provides real life stories, suggestions & insights to do the dating thing better. The book is filled with Aha Moments on Why you should Hit On the Wingman...and 9 other Secret Rules for getting the love life you want. There is also an essential secret on achieving that. I won't give it away, but I totally agree with Jake. Let's just say I'm that girl. Every now & then I found myself in tears laughing, because I just cant believe what women will do all in the name of LOVE. Throughout the book Jake shared some insights, so I tweeted a few with all my tweeps. Here are a few of my favorites


1. The best men don't send expensive flowers (Don't be upset you must read. Jake is keeping it real Chivalry).


2. You've got to broadcast your personality. If you're a nerd, let your nerd flag fly.


3. If he seems like a throwback, that's because he is a throwback.


4. You should fart in front of your guy just once. Just so you have the monkey off your back. (Remember Jake said this not me). I was laughing to myself for a good five minutes after I read this one.


I would love to share more with you, but I like you to experience what I experienced. I can truly say I'm really glad I'm comfortable in my own skin. Once you become the true you. You can most certainly laugh about the silly things & not take life so seriously. Embracing love is an extraordinary moment that can last a lifetime. Discovering who you are first, while connecting with someone else regardless if its for a season or a lifetime. Just enjoy the footsteps as you fall. Just when you do make sure he's the right person to catch you.


PS... As I mentioned earlier in my review Jake has been around for fifty-six-year's. Now not sure if you really got what I was saying. However let me break it down. There have been over a dozen Jakes during the years. A big part of the deal of being Jake is Jake must be single. “Always Hit On the Wingman” was written by one of the most recent. Without giving to much I'm elated to say Jake has fallen and found the perfect girl to catch him. Honestly that was the best part of reading the Wingman. Never underestimate the wingman.

Until next time live FABULOUS...

A DAY OF HEALING... FORGIVING & FORGETTING

In reflection of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. these two words come to mind this morning. Forgiving & Forgetting. A great man who sought out the unconditional acceptance of others no matter what obstacles he encounter. Although they were high mountains to climb, his persistence in equality set the tone for freedom. Freedom to heal your heart, embrace a dream that you will not be judge by the color of your skin, but the content of your character. 


On this day I honor a leader who took the steps of “Innovation” to make it a universe for all to live without judgment. I ask that you remember this day, but not forget the struggles of the past that have brought about innovation. We still have a long way to go, but greatness doesn't come easy. Continue to build your character to becoming a person of compassion, patience &  grace. Look at others as unique individuals, building them up, not tearing them down by chipping away at their character.

Colossians3: 12-15

Healing...

The healing process of forgiving & moving forward can be the best medicine for your spirit. Holding on to angry isn't healthy nor or you harming anyone, but yourself. Usually the other person has already moved on. In the meantime you are still holding on to toxins in your body that will eventually manifest in your life. Forgiving is a cleansing process that takes time. You must often visit the incident to understand what got you to this place. Regardless if you were the victim or the victor (so to speak) you must come to peace with yourself. Moving on without having a proper burial, will only reincarnate itself in the future. There are no “Winners” in the end.

The Burial-Testimony...

Hi Kim,
 

It was such a pleasure sharing with you on Twitter yesterday. I'm always open to sharing my story if it will help someone. I always tell people to live your life holding a grudge, being mad, angry,bitter, and unforgiving will kill your very soul. One will become sick and unable to successfully live life to the fullest. And truthfully, it will be so hard for anyone to really 

like and embrace you. I'm a witness. To answer your question I grew up hating my father he was an alcoholic who was mean, hateful, prejudice, verbally, and physically abusive at times to both my mother and my siblings.  I never knew what it was like to have a father/daughter relationship like most of my friends did and that really bothered me. My parents divorced when I was 16. I was happy, yet still angry about all he put us through as a family. I'm at total peace now. Even without the relationship. I've learned to be fulfilled in Christ

in all things. Even in the most difficult times in my life.

I now see myself as a survivor (in Christ Jesus). I look back and say it all happened for many reasons. And it all has a lot to do with who I am today. I don't have to live in my yesterday at all for any reason! It's over with its dead and everyone should tell their yesterday to drop dead!

I do hope my testimony will help someone to let go. 

Blessings,

Tywana

Tywana is a fellow event planner & follows me on twitter. Over the past few months she has engage in my Food for the Soul tweets & other postings. If my messages can make you take a step back , thinking of what's really important in life. Then engaging on twitter is a blessing. Tywana sharing her very personal story with me was due to a tweet I posted last week on twitter See below:

My Tweet from @weplanevents: I don't believe N holding grudges. Nothing good comes from it & its not what God desires 4U. Release/move on, but still walk N #♥ UR Thoughts

@TywanaT reply: @weplanevents some may find it hard. But, by faith you can do it. Just know its so much easier to love than it is hold a grudge & be angry.

@TywanaT reply: @weplanevents I'm a witness that life is to precious to live that way.

My reply: @TywanaT You have a testimony to share?

Now for anyone who is on twitter. You know you can only tweet 140 characters. Tywana & I had to take her message to email. Her story was so moving I just had to share with others. You can't let others blocked your blessings, unfortunately it can be members of your family. Although you will go through a deep valley . once you release all the pebbles. The mountain top is clear & bright.

Dr. Martin Luther King message embodies just that. A dedicated husband, father, leader and peace maker. That no matter what, the dream is possible. It takes a team, but begins with you. I commend Tywana for sharing her testimony. With age comes wisdom. A continued healing process over time that has made her surrender to better.

Today being a day of service in honor of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. "I AM" a work in progress “Innovation”. Honoring Dr. King today is a reminder that "Change" is still needed. I'm doing my part, Will you? “Walk In Love."

If you have a testimony you like to share that set you free. Please reply to this post or email us. Your message just might give peace of mind to someone who really needs it.

Food for the Soul...Expect "Innovation." Forgiving & Forgetting can be difficult. On the other hand forgiving heals your heart while forgetting makes it available too beat to blessings instead of burdens. #growth

Until next time live FABULOUS...

I SAID YES TO THE MAN~NOW I NEED TO SAY YES TO THE DRESS...

The holidays are gone & now we can get back to the basics of everyday life. Some of us at least. For many the holidays brought on overjoyed excitement for surprise proposals and some were expected. A day many women dream of.  To encounter that special moment when you find yourself saying 
Yes, Yes, I'll Marry You. 

While many of us are putting the decorations away others are pulling out the bridal books in anticipation of finding that perfect wedding dress. It actually starts that quickly. After the excitement of going from a couple to a newly engaged couple speaks volumes for two they are ready to be united as one.

drezrehersal Tip... Before you start the process of viewing dresses or anything that pertains to the wedding; Set a budget. There's nothing more heart breaking to have a bride view something they just can't afford. Not a way to start the planning process. Sit down with all those who will be financially involved & create a realistic budget, that you'll be able to follow without going into debt. Seek out a professional to assist if necessary.

Sophistication & Style with  designer Jenny Lee

the details...Now that you have a budget set. There are a few housekeeping items you should review before looking at dresses. Deciding on the ambiance & style you would like your wedding to represent. This is important in selecting the appropriate dress in keeping with the look & feel bride & groom to be desire to have for your dream wedding. Including the perfect venue location. 

the drezrehersal...This wedding season you will see more bridal designs that are simple, soft & sophisticated. Wedding gowns that accentuate the bride best accents while giving her a glow that is undeniable. As a bride-to-be you'll have hundreds of options to choose from. A Fab Favorite for me this year is designer Jenny Lee. Her dresses are life changing & timeless. Life changing as you are making a leap into one of the most important decisions of your life & timeless ; you will look back on year's later not regretting the  dress decision you made. Jenny's gowns are renowned for their fit and support. They are fully constructed both inside and out. Additionally, the gowns are fully lined with silk, so the bride will look & feel exceptional on her wedding day.

the I Do's... TRUST me you will immediately know when you have found thee gown for your wedding day. The feeling should be similar to how you felt when your love ask you for your hand in marriage. All warm & tingly inside filled with emotion's of tears & joy. 


Its your day & your decision. Be influence by the whisper in you, not the team you brought along with you. drezrehersal Tip... Always a good idea to invite someone who isn't too critical or un-supportive of your upcoming nuptials: Mom, Best Friend & even your Wedding Planner. That's it. Too many people leave room for too many opinions, which will leave you stressed & confused.

Once you make your final decision the consultants at Jenny Lee's salon will get your exact measurements, incorporate into a specialized sizing specifications to create a one-of-a-kind fit for you the bride-to-be. This is the closest to a "couture" experience a bride can get & ultimately shows in the finished product.

Let's Go Shopping... Make a day of it with your mom & best friend. Start by driving up the coast to Newport Beach. First stop; Jenny Lee Bridal at Crystal Cove Promenade.  After having your breath taking away by viewing her beautiful gowns. Then have a nice lunch on the promenade while enjoying a chilled glass of champagne in celebration of finding the perfect dress you'll say I Do in. To make sure you receive the VIP treatment at any bridal salon, always schedule an appointment before hand.
