{Teese me!}

I always find Laura Brown's interviews so fun and I am obsessed with Dita Von Teese.  Dita seems more down to earth in this interview, than I thought she would be.  

{Fierce Collection: Anya Hindmarch Bespoke}

EVERYONE knows that I love...love..love Anya Hindmarch. She is my favorite bag designer in the world. SO, needless to say, I went "koo koo for Cocoa Puffs" over her Bespoke Line. Check out this awesome Mini Movie. 

Enjoy! xoxo

{Fierce Obsession: Erika Bearman}

Okay....sooooo I think its time to openly admit my current obsession with Erika Bearman.  Erika is only 29 and already the Director of Communications for Oscar de la Renta. She is single handedly in charge of bringing the Oscar de la Renta brand to the "Social Networking" age.  Erika is so inspiring because of her young age and her style ambition.  She gets to travel the world with Oscar and wear gorgeous clothes from each season, while sitting front row at every fashion week.  Wowza! A life that I only dream about.

{Fierce Bakery: Sprinkles Cupcakes Chicago}

I have been wanting to try Sprinkles Cupcakes ever since they popped up in Los Angeles. Needless to say, during my travels today, I stumbled upon a Sprinkles shop in Downtown Chicago. Thats what I love about Chicago...you could be strolling the downtown streets and always stumble upon a hidden treasure.  

{Fierce Product: Chanel Le Volume De Chanel}

{Wearing my new Chanel Mascara}

OMG...my new obsession is Chanel Le Volume De Chanel. I have tried EVERY mascara from cheap to expensive and although this mascara has a hefty price tag at $30, it is worth EVERY penny. It makes my lashes really stand out, to the point where I don't have to wear eyeliner.  It's beyond amazing! 

{New FIERCE Beginnings}

A couple weeks ago I teamed up with Minted.com to design my NEW business card. I have simplified my new look and went with a grey, peach and white color scheme on triple thick card stock. I must say, I am very pleased with the outcome.

On a deeper note....

Today, was another pivotal moment in my life where I realized that everything that glitters is not gold.  Life is ALL about forgiveness and moving past people that don't want the best for you.  God is good, even when life doesn't appear the way you want it to look.  My site is not just about "fierce designers and accessories". My site is also about a fierce state of mind.  Having clarity and knowing that your self worth trumps ALL negative experiences in life.  At the end of the day, you must always ask yourself, "Did I give 100% today?".  Because, YOU are the only one that has to answer to yourself.  Celebrate YOU, each and everyday of your life.

Tomorrow is a new day and my light will shine brighter than ever.  Tomorrow is a new day to be the change, I would like to see in the world.

Style for Style,

Gigi B.

BlackBerry: I never leave home without it. Even though I use my iPhone for email, photos, and Twitter, I'll never let go of my BlackBerry. (I'm obsessed with BBM!) During shows, I like to jot down any cool accessories I spy in my BlackBerry notes section.

Stella iPhone case: I love the chain lining and the mango color. And it's roomy enough to stick my Fashion Week badge in there as well. I usually lose my badge the first or second day of shows which is a complete disaster. Hopefully I do a better job this season.

iPod, Nixon headphones, and case: I never leave home without my iPod–especially during fashion week. When I get stressed going from show to show and sitting in the inevitable traffic jams, I tune into Adele to calm my nerves. And when I want to get pumped up waiting for a show to start – the new Kanye & Jay Z album will be on heavy rotation.

YSL hot pink coinpurse: I've never been a wallet person (because I like teeny bags). This is the perfect size for carrying my Business Cards, bank cards, and to stash my receipts for the week.

Chanel lipgloss: So sheer, it's perfect.

MCM notebook: I loved the color of this notebook, and it's the perfect size—small enough to slip into any of my bags & clutches.

I love seeing what's in a fashionista's bag because, I am thoroughly nosey.

{Fierce Etiquette: Derek Blasberg}

 

 

I live for Derek Blasberg. His "Classy" books are always at the top of my list. His philosophy is humorous yet, informative. In this video he teamed up with Juicy Couture to give us... "Eticat"?

 

Haha! Enjoy!

32 and Fierce!

Today I turn 32 and I must say that I have come a long way since last year. I have moved from Saint Louis to Chicago and made some terrific friends along the way. I have been so blessed to be able to move as I see fit. God has held onto me through the good, the bad and might I add...the tears. I have become a stronger woman because of it. 

This year I plan to revamp the MissGDFierce website and do more interviews. So, STAY TUNED! Cheers to being 32 and FIERCE!

{Fierce 4's}

These are just a few items that make me smile.  The diamond "twin crosses" were a birthday gift from my fabulous mother and they are one of my most coveted pieces of jewelry.
