Fela Kuti and Rocketjuice and the Moon

Good Afternoon All,

I have been really digging Fela Kuti. I just found out that Fela Kuti the play is coming to Chicago at the end of the month. Those of you that are into tribal music, Fela Kuti was a pioneer of the Afro Beat. There was a play created about his contribution to music being shown in New York. I just found out today that the play is coming to Chicago. Since I am not working, I am kind of hesitant of purchasing tickets; however, I don't have that kind of hesitation when I see a pair of shoes that I like. Well, before I found out the play was coming to Chicago, I have been listening to a lot of Fela Kuti and watching him in conncert on YouTube. The dancers that perform are amazing. It just amazes me where a lot of the dances that you see in urban America come from the Motherland.

While browsing Youtube, I also came across this new super group; Rocketjuice and the Moon. One of the songs I am definitely feeling right now is Hey Shooter. Rocketjuice and the Moon comprises of the Gorillaz creator Damon Albarn, Flea from the Red Hot Chili Peppers, and Tony Allen from Fela Kuti. I was excited when I heard their song Hey Shooter featuring one of my favorite singers, Erykah Badu. The music places me in the Motherland. I can't weight (pun intended) till summer to wear some tribal jewelry, a tribal skirt with a simple tee and some tribal sandals like these:

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 more of a cerulean blue... that same cerulean blue that cause

Dooney and Bourke is Becoming My Favorite Again

Alto Canvas Wide Tassel Bag Amazon Medium Double Gussett Satchel Alto Magnetic Crossbody Florentine Drawstring Florentine Mini Satchel Mauro Governa Crocodile Double Shopper As I mentioned earlier, I am a total handbag and shoe fanatic. I loved handbags every since I received my first Coach bag at the age of 12. As the years went by, I went from being a Coach fanatic to a Dooney and Bourke fanatic, back to a Coach fanatic, and then I ventured into highend designer bags. I have a personal SA at Louis Vuitton, a SA for Celine Luggage Bags at Barneys and the list goes on. One thing I could never bring myself to buy was a Birkin Bag. However, I did purchase a Hermes Evelyn last year and had buyer's remorse so I returned it. I don't know why because I bought about 11 bags last year ranging from Bottega Veneta, Celine, Gucci, and Louis Vuitton. I could of owned about five Birkins by now. I figured Birkins weren't quite my style along with

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!
