My life as a singer, songwriter, new mom, champion for children's causes, and fashion enthusiast. I'm crazy for jazz, blues, old school R&B, and pop. Have also recently added kids music to my "repertoire". I'm also all about fashion, glam, travel, and helping others. But most of all, I'm loving life being mom to my sweet daughter, Ruby, adopted from Thailand. A lot of things to be grateful for and here is where I will share my stories, music, photos, and words of inspiration. More posts and tweets on my website blog www.macimiller.com

Friday Fashion: Teeny Bunny

I had to do it. When I saw this fab outfit on Etsy.com by Teeny Bunny, my heart just swooned! By now you all now what a retro-loving gal I am so when I found a 1940's-looking ensemble for my 4 year old I click and purchased almost faster than my computer could handle!

This week's fashion is modeled by my sweet and sassy lil Miss...my daughter, Ruby.
Next on my wish list would be these gorgeous dresses:
Are these darling or what? 

Click HERE to go to the Teeny Bunny Shop. Gorgeous dresses, well made, and beautifully constructed.

Fashion Friday: Green & Black Holiday Packing

As I was packing for the holiday weekend I followed a simple rule a friend of mine
taught me years ago while on the road: Pick 2 basic colors and a 3rd for accessories.
This makes it so easy (and also lightens the load!) because you need to pack less shoes
and accessories. This week I found some fab finds at Macy's. A gift card I got for my
bday was burning a whole in my pocket and begging to be used. I found 2 great pieces
by Inc. International Concepts - the black faux fur vest below and a gorgeous green
and black printed top (not shown). I so loved the color combo, I packed all black and
shades of green. Enjoy the fashion and have a fabulous holiday!
