The pieces in this collection speak to the woman who has “made” it!!! She might not be at the top of her career yet, but she is making her mark. She isn’t the “perfect” mom, but she is growing with her kids. She is there...while balancing it all.
.
.
This is for the “stay at home” mom who is excited for that one chance she gets to dress up and remind herself she is beautiful. This is for that young girl trying to find her way in life but who understands the power her presence commands.

This is for my ladies in the best years (40 and above) who are comfortable with the women they have become. They “own” their skins and make no apologies. This is for us! The MADE WOMAN!!!
