And two months after my last post….

I just can't believe it is almost Thanksgiving! Where has the time gone? I've been staying quite busy! Since my return from Europe I did 4 fashion shows, 3 Express covers, and work with 2 national publications. And I can't forget all of my gorgeous brides that I have had each weekend since my return along with my boudoir gals and model test shoots. It's been one busy season!! The national publications I worked with recently are Glamour magazine and Ladies Home Journal. I have to say I'm really excited to see my work in Glamour magazine. Since a young girl, I stared at pictures in Glamour trying to figure out different looks and it was that magazine that helped me figure out I wanted to do makeup for a living. I definitely think this is a step in the right direction. Check out January's issue of Glamour and look for a story titled, 'Women Under 40 in Politics.' I did the hair and makeup for a young gal by the name of Jill Hazelbaker who is John McCain's director of communications.

I would also like to announce a few changes with my website and direction of my business. For the past few years I've been operating under Beautiful by Victoria. I have decided to drop the business name and simply work under my name, Victoria Stiles. My new website, which just launched this week, reflects these changes and my website url is now simply www.VictoriaStilesMakeup.com. Of course you will still be able to get to it by going to the old url but I'd like to start directing clients to the new url. I made these minor changes in order to give my clients a more personalized feel. I'm not a large company and will never take my business in that direction so I basically decided to 'brand' my given name instead of doing business under a fictitious name. Hopefully this change will also help my clients understand the nature of my business. I am the one and only who answers emails and phone calls. I'm a one-woman-show and proud of it!!
