Holy Moly!

No plans to blog today because I have been a HOT mess over the last 48 hours. So, all I want to say is THANK YOU!!!

I was named as Wallis' U.S. Blogger Ambassador today and my head is still spinning.



I have so much to say, but can't comprehend the words. So, I leave you with this video and a whole bunch of hugs!

Thank you for everything. I can't wait to see what's on my horizon.

Never forget to give Him the glory, to follow your dreams and to not give up on yourself.

Shoot for the stars, people. I sure did and look where it got me.

I hope to be an inspiration for all the big dreams YOU have.

Thank you from the bottom of my heart! To all my Alvin Yellow Jackets out there, watch out, Nolan Ryan. Kidding, just kidding!!

xoxo

Congratulations Shanna! Your blog is one of my favorites. You are so deserving of this! Not only because you know fashion but because real women like me can relate to you. I am not a blogger, just a Christian mom and wife who enjoys fashion and doesn't like to spend a lot of money on it. That is why I love your blog! You are just real. Thank you for that and I'm sure you will do great!
