Wordless Wednesday: HELP! The @TheLorax is stalking me! {Photos}

You may remember in February of this year during New York Fashion Week that Ascending Butterfly and The Lorax made the cover of page 6. It was a Wordless Wednesday Post that month, and you can check it out here to refresh your memory. Here is the picture:

Well it appears that I cannot escape that furry ball of love! I think the Lorax may be stalking me as he appeared out of nowhere during BlogHer 2012 and insisted on a photo for his scrapbook!

Hmm....Stalking me much?

I love taking pictures with Mascots, so it was fun getting photos with the Lorax both at Fashion week and now again at BlogHer 2012! (The way some people stalk celebrities, I stalk mascots to take photos!)

Dr. Seuss’ The Lorax is now available on DVD, and for those of you not lucky enough to get stalked at events by the fun loving guy, you can now bring him home with the new BLU-RAY™ 3D COMBO PACK!

SINOPSIS

I know what are you thinking, but butterfly I thought we were going to go retro this week and keep focusing exclusively on inspiration, well in way we are! The thing I love about hanging out with my nieces, nephews and Godchildren is that I get to re-visit my inner child in a healthy way. 

Remember that sweet time of your life, where every stranger became a friend solely by knowing their name? Remember when love was the one thing worth risking everything for? ~ Ascending Butterfly

What we do to find love is our journey! Professional success is wonderful, but finding someone to share the fruit of your labors, makes those fruits that much sweeter.

As an adult is love so simple? Probably not, but it's not quite as complicated as we make it either. 

Today's Challenge: Ask yourself: How far would I go for real love? Could you put yourself out there completely?

MY TAKE:

As I loved Despicable Me, I had no doubt I'd love The Lorax too. I am long time Dr. Seuss fan and I am happy to pass along that tradition with the little ones in my life. 

NOTE: The BLU-RAY combo pack comes with Featurettes and Exclusives!

Dr. Seuss + Universal Studios Home Entertainment = Fun for Everyone!

Weekly Moment of Gratitude + Winners + Fashion Week + Sales Alert!

There hasn't been a weekly gratitude post here for awhile. Not because I stopped living in gratitude, but because life certainly made things harder than I anticipated they ever could be. My hospital stay, the lousy treatment there, knocked me for a loop, emotionally and spiritually. Words of inspiration were very hard to come by in a hospital bed.

While I still don't have answers yet and I still have a long road ahead, I have been trying hard to get back into the swing of things on every level of my life and it hasn't been easy!

This week, I am grateful for:

Ƹ̵̡Ӝ̵̨̄Ʒ -  Fashion Week! I honestly didn't think at first I would be able to handle it, and while I definitely had to pace myself and made sure not to over pack my schedule, I was super proud to be able to say I made it through. I have more recaps to come! Make sure you check out the recap to the F.A.B party which was my favorite Fashion Week party, it had a Philanthropic component that provided monies to a childrens charity called the Toshi Now Foundation. While Fashion Week is always exciting, to me, knowing that something good came out of this particular event made it that much more interesting to me.

Ƹ̵̡Ӝ̵̨̄Ʒ - Patience! As you know my hospital stay put our annual holidays buying guide a bit behind and I am filled with gratitude with how every single brand has stood behind me and shown me so much patience and support.

Ƹ̵̡Ӝ̵̨̄Ʒ - For all those who contributed to the medical fund that was created for me, THANK YOU. And for those that emailed me, and sent me messages of support, THANK YOU. I'll be happier when I can finally put it ALL behind me, but knowing so many people are so concerned for me truly means a lot to me.

Hope all my butterflies are having an amazing weekend!

What are you grateful for today? I'd love for you to write in and share what you are grateful for this week. The more you say it, the more you speak it, and the more you live in gratitude, the more you will find reasons to be grateful for, and the more reasons that the universe will send you to be grateful for. So join me on this journey of gratitude and inspiration. And you can post here daily (even though my list will be posted weekly).

Remember, attitude really does determine altitude.

Ascending Butterfly's Valentine's Day Buying Guide Giveaway #3, sponsored by:

With New York Fashion Week shows, pre-shows, launches and kick off parties my feet are already nervous. Loads of commuting (trains, tons of stairs) and even more walking and standing, coupled with VERY cold weather these past few days and even worse, SNOW coming, keeping my feet warm and happy has been my top priority.

And after battling pneumonia and a collapsed lung, I am definitely all about making sure I am warm enough while out and about! During a time in New York City where Fashion is the top word on everyone's list, how do you keep it fashionable and not end up with a severe cold or worse flu?

UggleBo Brand Clogs

Seattle Low in 'Tan'

About

Ƹ̵̡Ӝ̵̨̄Ʒ - Seattle Low Shearling Boot in color 'tan'

Ƹ̵̡Ӝ̵̨̄Ʒ - Tall Clog Boot on a low-heel Alderwood base
Ƹ̵̡Ӝ̵̨̄Ʒ - Customizable - Fold over the shearling to fit the style you want.
Ƹ̵̡Ӝ̵̨̄Ʒ - Non-Zipper, slip in style for a smooth look all around (pull tabs on top of boot)
Ƹ̵̡Ӝ̵̨̄Ʒ - Available in two colors: Black and Tan
Ƹ̵̡Ӝ̵̨̄Ʒ - Each Clog is crafted by hand

Many people fall under the mis-conception that Shearling is only good in the winter, but if you wear Shearling Boots without socks, you will find that quality shearling actually circulates air evenly and does not cause your feet to sweat, shearling can help regulate your body temperature making it fine to wear well into Spring with your skirts!

Here is a picture of me wearing them tucked under my Beija Flor 'Jennifer' Jean! I love how they are the perfect marriage of the comfort of a clog style, with the fashion forward detailing and the shearling! I've never managed walking on backless shoes so usually clogs with their open back styling are normally off limits to me, I was so happy that Ugglebo offers clog style in boots, and that these are such a perfect heel, not too high so you can wear these all day and your feet don't get tired! Their website has a size chart so you can order the correct size for your feet, these don't run totally on traditional sizing and I sized up about a half a size. Like many people I have one foot that is slightly longer, so the size up was perfect for that foot, for the other foot I put in an insole and found that to make them absolutely perfect for me! I am able to wear these for long stretches and my feet don't feel tired, I love that they are fashion forward, still totally comfortable, and have really held up well, because I love wearing them and wear them often!

My Take

I love supporting companies with a conscience, and Ugglebo is a company with heart! Ugglebo donates 5% of their annual profits to the nurturing, growth and passing of wisdom to disadvantaged children through education. In addition, they also made their Chukka Shearling Boot their Pink Ribbon Riders’ boot, which means that for every Chukka Shearling Boot that you buy, they will donate $20 to the Pink Ribbon Riders, whose mission is to promote breast cancer awareness in the motor sports industry for both men and women, while raising funds for those in need.

And you know how much I love a win/win, there is a 10% off discount coupon for new 'likers' on Ugglebo's Facebook Page! The coupon is valid through January 2013, how cool is that? Not to mention their facebook page has 'sales of the day' prices on select styles, so you definitely want to make sure you are in the know so you can nab your favorite style on sale (and don't forget that additional 10% off!)

While Fashion Week is always super chaotic and totally exciting, for me I'd prefer to spend my time telling you who is giving back. Trends come and go, but a company with the spirit of giving, that my friends is totally fashionable!
