My son's 22nd Birthday...

Not to brag about my son, but what can I say... he is the best. There are no words to express HOW MUCH I love him. Alex turned 22 last night and I still feel like he is a baby! Well... I guess all moms must think the same way of their children :)

Years have passed since Alex came into my world only to brighten it up. Having my kid has been the best thing that has ever happened to me. Most moms say you start feeling unconditional and true love when you have your kid, and it is completely true!

Last night our family celebrated his B-day at our local Italian restaurant. Watching him order his dinner made me remember when he was little boy. I clearly remember when I had to feed him and make decisions for him. Now years has passed and he has changed into a successful independent individual that makes only good decisions.

My husband and I have raised him well, teaching him honesty, respect and values. Not without arguments and sometimes fights, but knowing that in a family lots of love and understanding make the most opposite positions come together. I know it has worked out so far. He is the sweetest “boy” there is in the world. We have passed obstacles in life and this helped him to be a stronger person. I know God has listened to my prayers all these years!

Alex: you only brought joy and love into my life :) I love you my “Little boy”

 

Love,

Pat


Color Alert: New Pure Elements.

Hey! How was the weekend? Mine was pretty good, caught up with some much-needed rest, haha! 

Now, some of you may be familiar with my line of solids, PURE ELEMENTS. I'm reaaally excited about it and it's had amazing reception so I'm thinking, why stop? 

Last season I launched the line with 10 brand new colors, and now I've added 6 more to match my newest collections and whatever you have in your stash! 

Let me introduce them to you:

Parisian_blueWEB(2)

Parisian Blue. Well, the name says it all; let's just say, if you were going to Paris tomorrow, this is the tone of blue you should use to make your cocktail dress. 

Dark_citronWEB(2)
Dark Citron: I really like this green cause it's so vibrant and easy to use! 

Tender_greenWEB(2)
Tender Green: Very similar to what's known as "mint green", is definitely the color of the season. Trust me on this one guys! 

AshWEB

Ash: Grey just got better! A soft tone that goes really well with vibrant colors. Specially for modern projects!

Quartz_pinkWEB(3)
 
Quartz Pink: Because there's no such as thing as "too much pink".

CaviarWEB(2)
Caviar: To be quite honest I'm not much of a black kinda girl, but it is a classic! Now I kinda wanna make myself a little black dress. Don't you?

Hope you like my color choices, any favorites? Any color suggestions? Would love to hear!

All work and no play...

Makes me a dull girl. So that's why last night the girls & I headed out to Neiman Marcus where Fashion Night Out Miami was taking place. It's the second time they're holding the event here in Miami, but it was my first time! We were all freaking over "what to wear" haha! But I think we did pretty good; you tell me!

I wanna thank the girls for getting all dolled up and coming with me to Fashion Night Out! We had such a blast, and we're definitely doing this again next year!

Alright have a relaxing , fun-filled awesome weekend everyone!
