How to Stylishly Fall From Grace

Love From Amazon Reviews

2011-05-08T17:56:00.000-07:00

Check out the latest Amazon review on my book:

I absolutely loved this book! It was like reading my BFF's diary and finding out all the stuff I really wanted to know, only with her permission. What I found most refreshing about this book and Zoe, the main character, was the realistic story it told. No fairy-tale endings, no prince with a glass slipper to wisk her away, just real life - with all its ups, downs, ins and outs.

Too many books and movies try so hard to sell "the happy ending" but what was fabulous about this book was seeing Zoe persevere through her fascinating and often difficult cirucmstances and end up in some ways, right back where she started - just a lot wiser, a lot stronger, and a whole lot more self-assurred.

Most of our lives are probably a lot more like Zoe's than Cinderella's - I know mine is and so are the lives of my friends. So I'd encourage you to get a cup of tea and sit down for a great evening with a new friend...Zoe. You'll enjoy yourself.

YAY!!!

Stored Thoughts

2010-11-22T09:51:00.000-08:00

Sometimes my mind never shuts down.

Ideas, plots and characters seep into the crevices of moonlit hours. I realized a long time ago Post-Its have no leverage in these times. Scribbles, drafts and epiphanies look better in saved document format.

How cool is this digital tablet that records my drafts in hard and soft copy?

Atlanta Shoe Club Coordinator Amanda Viciana, Hair Extraordinaire Mandrill Hardge, me and Fashion Stylist Sheldon Horton

Talk about your shoe heaven!!!

On Saturday, April 24, Jedal Italian Fashion flung open their glass doors for customers to purchase signed copies of my book. Located in Atlanta's swanky Phipps Plaza, guest were treated to sweet treats from Chocolate Pink Pastry Cafe, along with flowing wine.

Dress For Success representative with me and Jedal Owner Jennifer Dainelli

I truly felt like Cinderella, thanks to the Glam Team of Mandrill and Sheldon! Sheldon dressed me in an amazing jersey knit LBD from Wilbourn Exclusives, which could be worn as a one-shoulder, halter or a grecian goddess look! The SATC Samantha Crystal Rose Flower Cocktail Ring was from Inside Crystal's Bag and the baddest fuchsia sandals to ever grace my feet - The Jedal by Marco Massetti from Jedal!

I want to extend a special thanks to Photographer Terance Johnson for his amazing bevy of images! More to come!

Marching Into Spring Book Tours

2010-03-02T18:25:00.000-08:00

Contrary to what the snow-capped landscaping says, I feel the birth of spring. With that comes an authentic breath of fresh air; new beginnings, new attitudes-

New cities. I am amazed at the daily contacts I make from the wonderful world of social networking, and the energy is contagious.

Carrie would be proud...

I Heart Writing

2010-01-27T14:06:00.000-08:00

I am never at a loss for words. But for those times when writer's block does creep its way into my life, it helps to have tools to remind me that the words of a finished manuscript - like love - will ultimately make my heart skip a beat.

Prepping For the Book Signing

2009-09-10T09:23:00.000-07:00

As I await confirmation from a fabulous location to host my book's official launch, I am gathering essentials for an author's book signing:
~ Sharpie Stainless Steel Fine Point Permanent Marker
Encased in chic stainless steel, this Sharpie has already been used to sign the pre-order copies that have been received!

~ VOSS Artesian Water
Hydration is key, but especially when water is encased in such stylish bottles. I have recycled these cylinder glass bottles to display my bath salts.

~ Breath R/x, Sugar Free Mints, 12-Count Rolls (Pack of 6)
Have to keep things fresh and so clean!

~ Purell Instant Hand Sanitizer, 8 fl oz (236 ml)
There will be plenty of hand shaking, so a girl's gotta keep on top of her anti-flu game!

Book Deliveries!

2009-09-06T09:27:00.001-07:00

It's been a week of continuous e-mails and DMs of news that my book has been delivered to customers all over the country!

How to Stand Tall In Quicksand

2009-08-20T06:59:00.000-07:00

Who knew I could balance celebration and travesty at the same time?

In the midst of being full throttle in my Happy Dance on the release of my book, my beloved blog of three years - The Well-Heeled Society - is the victim of a cyber attack! Oy.

While I scramble to save my branding, affiliate accounts and sanity, I still revel in the fact that my growth has evolved into book author. So much so that I placed the order for the 11x17 display of my book's cover for book signings...

Obstacles, challenges, crashes; they will come when you least expect it. But the key is to keep your stance firmly rooted, even when it seems like you're thick in quicksand.

GET THIS: Stiletto Wall Decal!

2009-08-09T10:58:00.000-07:00

Here's a chance to have the best-dressed walls; book customers who order by 12 midnight EST Thursday, August 13th will receive* this stiletto vinyl wall art, courtesy of Trading Phrases!

Host a Book Club Pedi Party, Win a $50 Gift Certs!

2009-08-01T12:55:00.000-07:00

Ah, Zoe. The elusive main character of my book. You may not be able to walk a mile in her shoes, but you can dig into the pages of How To Stylishly Fall From Grace! And what better way to share her journey than by hosting a book club party, complete with a little indulgence!

Here is the list of items you'll need:

~ A Footcandy Pedicure Kit Party Pack, which has the essential pedicure tools for up to 12 guests: pedicure flip flops, toe separators, nail brush, nail file and wood cuticle sticks

~ Plastic dishwashing bins (one per guest from the Dollar Store)

~ Towels (one per guest). Rolled spa-style, they become placecards within the seat of every chair. Tied with a satin ribbon, each towel holds mini bottles of non-toxic nail polish, like the Truth or Dare Zoya Nail Polish Fall 2009 Collections

~ Several pitchers of warm to mildly hot water

~ To make easy pedicure foot soaks from kitchen staples you already have, I suggest the simple recipes of Footcandy

~ But if you want to ensure your BCPP is the bomb, have on hand assorted Wild Woozle Fizzy Hydrotherapy Bath Powders, which are like pedicure bombs in a jar! Available in the scents of Coconut Lime, Margarita, Chocolate Mint Truffle, Mango Passion, and Mimosa Spa, each jar is equivalent to three bombs. Your guests can choose scents à la carte!

~ What's a pedi party without the diva du jour? Make sure to have at least one jar of Zoe's Secluded Beach Pedicure Scrub, aptly named after the book's main character! Disperse a small dollup per each guests' 'station', so she can experience the sensation of chocolate and pomegranate infusion!

Note: I suggest that appetizers and the first round of cocktails are served before the pedi party begins. The discussion of the book should take place while the guests are settled and soaking in the foot soaks/bath powders, or else you will have too many disruptions.

~ For refreshments, honey, it's all about the shoes! From High Heels, Ruby Slippers and Stiletto Cocktails, to Cinderella Mocktails, keep the martini glasses chilled and full! And what an added bonus if you could enlist husbands and boyfriends to act as garçons (bow ties optional!)

There will be a contest to see who has the most stylish BCPP, as I will be asking book clubs to upload pics from their events. The winner will receive a $50 gift certificate from Wild Woozle Soap Company!

So what's the first step? Ordering copies of the book for the club members!

Did You Feel That?!

2009-05-30T16:03:00.000-07:00

Being the creator of Zoe Chapman is exhausting. The nausea, tears and false labor I have been experiencing are not the results of being knocked up; rather knocked down while patiently waiting for her to get some - how shall I put it - work done...

But I can finally announce that there has been a Zoe sighting (albeit wrapped and bandaged beyond recognition). So while we wait for her unveiling, all current and new customers that place book orders for How To Stylishly Fall From Grace will be eligible to win a treasure chest of goodies.
