Happy Monday friends! If you haven't stopped by in a few days I just had my 1 year Blogoversary, and can hardly believe it! Please be sure to stop back over the next week as I am going to be offering specials of the day on select items in honor of my Anniversary! Monday's are always fun at La Dolce Vita since I have the pleasure of introducing you to one of my Featured Readers. I am pleased to introduce you to Meg of
Kiss My Style. Megan and I became bloggy friends through a social network and boy is she a crafty gal, I just love crafty gals! Please grab a cup of coffee and get to know my friend Meg!
Name:Megan Calpin Hughes of

How did you start blogging? I started it as a portfolio of my work, then I added personal tidbits about our life and now it serves for work, family, promotion of handmade artists and a catalog of upcoming pieces for Kiss My Style.
If you are a parent do you have a parenting philosophy? We teach Hannah manners, sign language, kindness, love, affection & compassion. We believe in discipline, but its very laid back. We say “no” do time outs and explain, we always ask for an apology & a kiss to make up. So far, we have lucked out and she has taken to all that we teach including our love of arts, crafts and music – what a little dancer!
You will never find me without...... my knitting needles & a skein of yarn and lip gloss
Day job:I own
Kiss My Style and design pieces for it. It currently is an online boutique that over 30 artisans sell their handmade pieces. 100% handmade – 100% fabulous! I am always looking for new artists to sell & I currently have been expanding my line into wholesale!
Favorite Stuff: Hannah’s laughs, fiber, yarn, music, the outdoors and family time.
Music: techno, spa, classical, classic rock
Food: Italian & Chinese
Tv/ Movies: True Romance, CSI LV, The Office, How I met your mother, The Mentalist
Reading: I love witchy girl humor like Jen Lancaster
If you had to wear a T-shirt with your favorite saying on it what would it be?Kiss My Style
I love the name of my business b/c it has attitude while being cute at the same time – plus everyone always asks what it means. lol
Favorite stores to shop at:
Etsy, mom & pop shop’s and then Gap & Jcrew – I’m 5’11 and they have long lengths in classic styles that last forever!
Misc stuff from Megan:
I could knit anywhere at any time. I love fabric. Libraries smell good and the outdoors makes me happy. I love my family & my friends and I hope to give Hannah a brother. J
