Tribute to my grandmother!

For every woman, there has been another woman who has influenced their sense of style.  For many young women, its their mothers or grandmothers, for others, it may be a favourite celebrity or even the vague memory of a women they saw for a split second while they were sitting at a cafe somewhere in Europe.  For me, that woman was my grandmother.  She signified everything that was important to me and no  other person has shown me as much unconditional love as she has!  My grandmother passed away 3 years ago, but her influence is still with me.  She had such grace and elegance about her and her style was always impecable.  Here is a little tribute to the woman who has always inspired me:   To me, she was one of the most beautiful people in the world:     Here is a picture of my grandmother and my uncle when he was little:     One of my favourite pics of my grandmother:     ANother one of my favrouite pics - I'm just a little munchkin in this picture:     Its so true when people say to honour those you love while they are still alive!!!!!!!   Here's to you 'Babycia' - I LOVE YOU!!!!!!
