Goodbye to Another Year

G O O D  B Y E  2 0 1 1 ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! !

I am so glad that 2011 is coming to a close.  The first part of the year was fabulous.  I got my kitchen and patio remodeled, the cars of my dreams, meeting my current hairstylist (you are a peach, Janine), my husband turned 40, and I received a pay raise after 3 years from my job.  The second part of the year was a nightmare, with the exception of finding a church that I love, having a visit from a dear friend from Philadelphia, and starting my first blog.  I had issues with my extended family and I lost the job that I received a pay raise from in November.  There is always a reason for everything.  If I hadn’t lost my job, would I have started a blog?  Probably not.  I am taking this free time to analyze my thoughts and randomly write about things that are most dear to me.  As this year comes to a close, and the previous 37 years, I am looking forward to 2012.  A new year to get a second chance, a new year to get it right, and a blessing to be alive to see another year.

I want to take this opportunity to wish everyone a Happy New Years, and to all of my blog readers around the world; Russia, Germany, Colombia, Malaysia, and of course the United States.  Stay safe, and if you drink, drink responsibly.  Take this time to reflect and love one another.  Signing off for the year!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Blessings!!!!!!!!

Dooney and Bourke Florentine Smith Bag in Royal Blue

Good Morning All, I have been enjoying this nice Chicago weather we have.  It has been around 70-80 degrees for almost two weeks now.  It is kind of creepy.  I went to Culver's yesterday to get one of my favorite treats, a three scoop lemon Ice and while in the drive through I see a big bumblebee.  Spring is definitely in the air.  I am waiting for the ball to drop.  Will we be getting 6 inches of snow in May?  Anyways, I got a new bag.  Well, I exchanged a bag that I had bought about two months ago for this bag.  It is the Dooney and Bourke Florentine Smith Bag in Royal Blue.  I had purchased this bag in white/tan for the spring and had a change of heart.  I like white bags; however, they don't wear well.  Eventually they will get some kind of color transfer from denim or they will yellow overtime. I have a Chloe and Marc Jacobs bag that did that.  Well, the bag in my opinion is not royal blue in person.  It is ...

Is Blogging Dead?

Hello To All. I have been missing in action from this blog since 2015.  I am the type of person that gets bored with things quite quickly.  I have a question for you today.  Is blogging dead?  There are millions of blogs out there covering everything from fashion, food, homes, wine, and etc.  With the fashion piece, Instagram has taken over the need to post a  blog about what a person is wearing and what the audience should buy. However, is it quite necessary to share with the world everything that a person does in their life. I am signing off with this open ended question; should you leave things to the  imagination?  Ponder on that question; will you. Until next time, many, many, many, blessings!

Louis Vuitton Dog Advertisement

                                         Louis Vuitton Montreal, Canada  July, 2009 I know this is random; however after looking at numerous publications such as Vogue over the past two months, I couldn't help but to love their new advertisement campaign featuring the Japanese Chins.  I lived in Japan for about 4 1/2 years and I fell in love with Japanese Chins.  I loved them so much that I purchased a cute little male Japanese Chin from a non-for-profit organization in Lake County (Chicago, Illinois).  I was tickled to see how my love for Louis Vuitton and Japanese Chins were brought to life
