Happy Cinco de Mayo!

And a very loving happy birthday to my baby boy!

Yep, 11 years ago, I welcomed my beautiful son to this world. I chose to not show the picture of him now, for obvious reasons. But I could not let this day pass, without acknowledging his life.

Why?

Because he's my life! I work as hard as I do-just for him. As a divorced mom, I have to work double time (be both mom & dad), to make life good for him. While watching him eat his birthday breakfast this morning, I wondered, my God, where has the time gone? Trust me people, try like hell to enjoy every precious moment with your children.

Furthermore, I'm sharing one of my favorite pics of my son and I. Taken at the age of 3, I can so remember buying those beautiful baby Tod's loafers for him. I eventually gave them away, but now wish I had kept them. They were his favorite shoes! And the boots I'm wearing, I can recall (fondly) plopping my AmEx card down for those Italian babies (which I still have) at Bergdorf Goodman's in New York city...ahhhh the memories of a good buy.

Can you remember your all-time favorite purchase of shoes? I'd love to hear your stories. Feel free to share.

Have an awesome day!

p.s. margarita anyone? ;-)

Saying good-Bye To 4 Decades of Fun & Fashion!

Hello Everyone!

Tomorrow I say good-bye to the best year of my life! That's right, my 40th year has been filled with so much fun, whirlwind luv affairs, yes, some love gone wrong, triumphs and even joyous tribulations (we all know,what doesn't kill ya, makes you stronger)!

But as I look ahead to what the next 40 years will bring, I'm overjoyed with excitement! I've learned that life is definitely more fun when you live it out loud. You must learn to laugh at yourself. Don't sweat the small stuff; and you must treat EVERYONE from your garbage collector to your President with the same respect! Furthermore, when you go outta your way to brighten someone else's day, what comes back to you is immeasurable and immensely satisfying.

O and my beloved fashion...how do I love thee! Fashion has been such a huge part of my life, since I was a poor black girl in Oklahoma. ;-) I never imagined that fashion would take me to the runways of Paris, New York City and all points in between! It's truly my first love.

That's why owning Ms. Heel.com is such a pleasure. I jump out of the bed early and go to bed late at night, all because of the love I have for this lil venture. My birthday wish to you all, is for you to find what makes your heart sing and never stop pursuing it!

Please enjoy these pics from my 40th birthday last year and I'll post some new pics after all the celebrations my friends are bestowing upon me...I'm so blessed; hope you are too!

p.s. the last pic was taken by my good friend Lisa. She said I was laughing and smiling in my sleep (after our night of partying in NYC); hence, she gave me a new name-Sleeping Beauty!
