Turn Your Dreams into Reality

Hey Beautiful Girls~

Well here it is Saturday morning and I'm in front of the computer, pajama clad of course with my M&M's and coffee, thinking about how Im approaching my dreams and goals. I wonder how you approach yours? Do you think about them momentarily and then dismiss them or do you carefully plot out a plan of attack? They are a very big part of who you are. Do you realize that?

I've been doing a ton of research lately on goal setting and planning and I've come to the conclusion, you probably have too, that there just isn't enough time in the day too accomplish everything! Right? Nope, we are wrong about this one. All those amazing people we look up to have the same amount of time as you and I. Shocking but true! The problem is being organized and prioritizing mixed with a bit of "I can-do-it-ness". Its the bad "O" and "P" words. So Ive decided to put together an online class, "Designing Your Life on Your Terms". The class will be in late Spring. I hope you will join me.

Special Guest Speaker

Her smile is contagious, her quick wit is hysterical, I am thrilled to welcome 
Debi Beard to the LYC Panel!

House Vintage is my antique and vintage interiors shop located in Solana Beach, Ca.

When I opened my doors 16 years ago I had an abundance of hope and creativity, my budget however was almost non existent. Many years of hard work, faith and resourcefulness have brought some amazing blessings to my business. My shop has been featured in several national magazines and on television, including Coastal Living Magazine and Extreme Makeover Home Edition. With all this wonderful success there have been many challenges as well and I have almost gone out of business on several occasions. It is by the grace of God that my doors are open today.

I have learned so many things though the years about running a retail store and creating art by hand.

I felt I was bursting with ideas that I wanted to share with as many people as possible. My dream was to share my experiences by hosting my own online design show, but there was one small problem, I was extremely shy, and I had no Idea how to use a computer beyond sending a basic email.

I forced myself to take on-camera acting classes and spent every spare moment at Apple learning how to edit video. 

In 2011 I started a weekly DIY show on YouTube.

The old saying, 'still waters run deep' was very true for me, I discovered a side to my personality that was banging down the door to get out!

I had no idea what I wanted my show to be like when I first set out, I just knew that if I didn't try I would be a miserable girl.

I am a firm believer in repurposing and using what we already have to create beautiful surroundings, I married my love of junk, art and design with my off-beat personality and Debi's Design Diary was born.

Pushing myself past my comfort zone has been one of the best things I have ever done. I hope to encourage anyone out there with a secret dream to do the same. My hearts desire is that my videos will inspire you, teach you something new, and entertain you in the creative process!

This year, creative workshops have been added to my shop, We have just installed a beautiful class room where you can come learn in person. We have a full schedule of classes this fall including paint techniques and vintage holiday crafting.

Jean Koss Interview

Jean Koss

 This girl didn't outgrow her dreams, she grew them!

LYC: How long have you had a love affair with fashion?

Jean Koss: Wow, where do I begin? I guess I have to say I really started my passion with fashion when I was 6 years old because I had so much fun dressing my barbie dolls in different outfits. Once a week in the 70s my mom would take my little sister and I to Kmart and treat each of us to a new barbie outfit! As I grew older, I enjoyed putting my own outfits together. In high school, I took a fashion marketing class and learned so much! I have also modeled in fashion shows. I have such a passion that I have studied fashion, on my own, for about 24 years now. I have also worked in clothing and cosmetics over the years. I have had a lot of fun doing closet organizing and fashion parties just for free for family and friends and then I decided it was time to turn my passion into a career! 

Everyone kept telling me to go into business for myself. So after a lot of thought and prayer, I decided to go for it! And I'm so happy that I did! I now teach fashion seminars, do fashion/swap parties, closet organizing, personal styling, and I have a fun fashion blog that I give free fashion advice on! I am so blessed because the good Lord has made this possible for me. 

I'm one of the few lucky people in this world who actually gets to follow my true passion for a living. I thank my wonderful husband, family and friends for all of their support! 

I  just finished writing a book on fashion and am in the process of getting published. We all have to get up and get dressed everyday, we might as well have fun and make an effort to look our best. When you look good, you feel good!
