How Oscar De La Renta has Changed My Life.

               How Oscar De La Renta Has changed my life.

I'm sure, you all have heard about fashion designer, Oscar De La Renta has passed away and yes, this is a bit different then what I normally do but I wanted to share this story with you, because Oscar De La Renta is an icon in my book. 

Let's go back to Monday night.                     
My brother Pat said, "PAM! Have you heard?"  I said "About what?" Pat said, "about Oscar De La Renta?"  then he told me the sad news about his passing.  
I broke down in tears and couldn't stop crying. I kept wondering, all evening...why am I, so sad?? then it hit me. 
Now I'm going to take you back with me when I was 13, my mom use to get Vogue magazine, and I loved to look at the photos of dresses from cover to cover.
I fell in love with a dress, I loved this beautiful dress, and, I couldn't get it out of my head, this dress was maybe the Most beautiful dress, I have ever seen! 

(Version I saw, there was no necklace) 

I wanted to know, who made it. My mom looked up the designer of that beautiful dress. It was Oscar De La Renta. 
Mom took out a couple of books about him, out of the library and read them from cover to cover and I learn everything from these books about this man. Who somehow in my own way, became like an Uncle to me. I never knew him but I felt as if, he was family. I talked and wrote about him a lot during fashion week. 
This one dress, got me into Fashion, and this man was truly an Uncle to me. 
About the same time, I fell in love with Fashion. 
I was growing up, maybe when I was 14 and 15, I got very ill and Mom would get Vogue, fashion magazines and books for me.  I saw, how much of Oscar was loved by fashion icons, and how his love for Fashion, changed the lives of many people. I was reading about Jackie Kennedy at about the same time, I was surprised that, Jackie gave an up-and-coming designer a chance!
 I mean, who does that anymore? From then on, Oscar De La Renta, became THEE Designer who dressed the First Ladies. 


There are tons of photos and seasons that are my favorites but I'm just going to post a few.       
                                     Hope you enjoy!

15 Home MOVING Tips! 

1. Hire someone! If you do, make sure you watch how they pack your stuff and watch the movers as My Aunt did and if You don't want them packing Fragile stuff, well grab a Box and pack It yourself, It's easy once you get the hang of it.

2.If you're packing your own stuff, like we did! you will need a ice chest for water and make a small bag with clothing and medicines and things you need for let's say a week, since most of your stuff will be packed. 

3.Try to mark all your boxes and with details if you want to! as many boxes as you can! Ie: Pam's books goes bookcase in third shelf or your name's bathroom.

4.Make sure you turn on water and lights as soon as you CAN! and call the cable man so you can have internet!

 (My mom called as soon as she could and we had internet within two days of moving in) 

5. If you need help packing, please Ask you family and friends for help and if You don't have Money to pay them well, at least buy them lunch or dinner. 

(No one can turn that down and send them Thank You Cards)

6.Make sure pets are with you or with people who can watch them while you are moving. 

7. Pack one room at a time and don't get overwhelmed! 

8. Be orderly! 

9. Get tons of tape and boxes,don't be afraid to ask walmart or stores if they have any boxes, you can never have a enough boxes and tape!  

10. Don't try to do it all! ask for help! and if you're done with your stuff go ask your other family members if they need help! 

11. REST! After you are somewhat done moving, please give yourself time to rest! Because your body has been moving too! 

12. Try to eat at normal times and so your body doesn't freak out! 

13.if you have kids, ask a friend or someone to watch them so you can pack even more or get the kids something to do while You're packing! 

14.Start EARLY in the MORNING! because by the time, you know it it's 1! and 1-5 is PEAK Heat times and I would try not to be out, since it's so hot And if You have to be out, drink water or vitamin water to keep you going. 

15. Take time unpacking! and if you need unpacking,Ask for help!
