FashionMista is the blog of designer, Katie James. It tracks the progress of the Katie James label, as well as spotlights other designers, quarky products, and includes an occasional boyfriend story.
I had a long car trip to reflect on this (several, actually, in the course of this Thanksgiving which involved Columbus OH and TN with a little bit of DollyWood, pictures of which are to come on FashionMista). Here's what I'm thankful for:
- My job, which has given me Day Job Dollars to partially finance my business.
- My skills and wacky Gemini tendencies to be involved with many things, to combine them into successful things.
- My apartment. Sometimes I forget that I myself and paying for my apartment, its funky colored walls, solid furniture (with extra thanks to my mom who provided strategically placed IKEA, and to a former co-worker who used me as GoodWill to unload beautiful pieces of furniture from her sister-in-law's upper-east-side apartment).
- My boyfriend, who is solid as a rock and always supportive despite times I act a little nuts or find silly causes to roll my eyes.
- My pets of course, who seem to love me despite the fact that I give them the same food for their entire lives (although it is top of the line).
- My family, and specifically my grandmother, who before Alzheimer’s seized her brain, gave me some of the greatest advice. I was tormented with making the decision between writing and graphic design, and she simply stated to do both. Which I now do, happily.
