I know I have been slacking on the blog posts lately, but it is with good reason.  March has been a whirlwind and I can’t believe the month is nearly over.

We spent the first week in Miami, at the Fontainebleau wedding planning. We had our tasting, met with our amazing floral designer, photographer, videographer and music, not to mention AMAZING wedding planner and catering manager! We have been getting so much done I am SO happy!!!

My wedding dress, (that I have designed) is in final production now, the fabric is purchased and it is going to be ready so soon! A dream come true – I have always wanted to design my own wedding dress and it is BEYOND amazing and everything I could have ever wanted. It is so magnificent I can’t wait to wear it and show you all!!

Jordan and I designed his TUX and it is getting made.
Invitations went out (most of them anyway), flights are booked, Rabbi is booked, and so many more details have been arranged.

We are in the final stretch of the last 2 months and It’s still going to be crazy, stressful yet fun.

For the second week of March, we went to Washington DC for Jordan to represent New York State for the Small Business Association SBDC for Appetizer Mobile and I got to represent Chic Sketch and sketch congress men, congress women and VIPS on Capitol Hill.

Chic Sketch has been taking off garnering press in Allure, Huffington Post, Glamour, Refinery 29 and many more blogs as well as international publications! Chic Sketch is going global.

This morning I had an amazing interview at my old stomping grounds, FIT (The Fashion Institute of Technology) interviewing me as an alumni to talk about my career!  Big thanks to Professor Cooper!

So, I may have missed a few blogs, and I may miss a few more until after my wedding but I’ll keep you updated!!!

On another note…. Are you wondering how it all gets done and I keep my sanity? Well, for starters – it’s not easy.  But I make sure to work out and meditate as much as I can. Taking time for myself lets me recollect my thoughts, take care of my body, mind and soul so that I can be on my game. And… if the day calls for a power nap (if I have the opportunity) I’ll TAKE IT!!

Hope that inspires you to keep keepin on with your dreams!
