07 Sep Behind the Scenes – My Nate Berkus Show Appearance

A few weeks ago I let you guys in on my big news, I’ll be appearing on The Nate Berkus Show. Well, now I have an air date for the show: Thursday, September 15. So of course I hope you’ll tune in, tell a friend, tell your mama and set your DVR.

I can’t tell you how exciting and humbling it was to be a part of the show. Nate was as sweet {and cute!} as he appears on television and the team of producers and assistants were absolutely amazing to work with. Like seriously, I  didn’t encounter a single person who wasn’t a pleasure.

While you’re waiting for the show to air, check out behind the scenes pics snapped by my homie Danielle {aka The Style & Beauty Doctor}. She was on hand as my moral support, photographer, lipstick applier and all around calming spirit who kept me from freaking out at my first television appearance.

I don’t want to give it away and tell you what I’m doing on the show but of course it involves thrift shopping. It took me about two weeks to prepare for the segment and my nerves finally set in when I reached the studio. But that quickly went out the window as there was more work to be done.

Late minute prep before heading to a quick rehearsal.

Makeup time!

Of course I don’t want to show you my full outfit, you’ll have to wait for the big reveal on the show. But you’ve actually already seen the dress before, it’s a previous Thrifty Threads post.

So once again, thanks again for all your support guys. The show airs Thursday, September 15. Check your local listings to see what time it airs in your area.

Quick Testimony: When I first started Looking Fly on a Dime {formerly known as Living Fly on a Dime}, I had no idea where I wanted to go with it. The idea to blog came out of a Gchat conversation I had with my ex-boyfriend’s ex-girlfriend. I just knew I wanted/needed a daily outlet after being laid off from my job at a fashion magazine. However, two years later, I’m proud of what I’ve created and the lives I’ve been able to touch through my love of thrifting. Earlier this year when I went through the drama of having to change my blog’s name due to trademark issues, I was ready to give this whole blog thing up. The stress left me emotionally drained but I’m so glad I didn’t let a major hurdle stop me. Whether I’m appearing on television or receiving an email from a reader who now embraces thrift shopping because of me, it’s all worth the hard work. Whatever it is that you’re struggling against, keep moving forward and water your dreams!
