"Big Mama" Rocks!!

Many of you have heard me talking about "Big Mama" lately. She is a gal down in Texas who does a fabulous blog (http://www.thebigmamablog.com/) that I thoroughly enjoy reading. So imagine my delight when she suggested doing a scarf giveaway on one of her "fashion friday" blog posts. I had no idea just how many followers she has until this morning! It is only 8:37 and she already has 161 comments from ladies who have checked out my site!!! To be honest, I am kinda freakin' out! I feel very exposed at this point... Thankfully, all the ladies have left such encouraging and wonderful comments that I am pretty much walking on cloud 9. Thank you, thank you, thank you, Melanie (a.k.a. Big Mama)!!! Now, go to her blog, check out her post, and follow her. It is way worth your time!!

New Scarf Collection...Deidra's...and a Lovely Hostess named Karen!

Wow! what a wonderful night in Ali J Boutique world! I had met Karen McLaughlin at a past sale, and she then contacted me about a home sale. She decided to hold it at Deidra's and what a great turnout she had! I would say more, but I believe the *pictures* tell the story beautifully!

Next is one of my *best* models... My Mom-in-love, Bev. She is always sooooo put together with her style, so I am honored that many of my scarves have made it into her wardrobe!! Way to rock the green reptile sheer scarf, mom!

And lastly, the youngest entry in the contest, but definitely with a mind of her own.... My lovely daughter Emri.

Yay, Yay, Linds----Ay!!

I was very pleasantly surprised that my sweet and {ultra-fashionable} cousin sent me a picture for the scarf contest!! Woooopeeee! The word is getting out about my blog!

Here is the Lovely Lindsay's picture- she took a thin scarf, twisted it, and wrapped it around her neck a couple of times, a la a necklace... Very creative, very cute!! Thanks Linds!!!
