Damn If You Do..... Damn If You Don't

Good Morning All,

This week has been rather interesting.  I have been really busy.  I start my two new jobs this week.  My main full-time job, I start tomorrow.  I have also accepted a position at Ann Taylor on the weekends.  About 5 years ago, I worked at Ann Taylor Loft part-time.  I need the extra income since I have been out of work for almost 5 months.  I have a daughter that will be going away to college in two years and the hubby and I maybe moving back into the city... Lord willing.  Well, this week I unpacked my summer clothes to go through them.  To my amazement and dismay, none of my clothes fit properly.  I have lost 30 pounds in 3 months.  The weight just started dropping when I took up running.  I now run about 5 hours a week and 3 hours a week on the elliptical machine.  I also weigh train about 4 hours a week.  My body has definitely changed.  I have the V shape going on.  However, I have lost weight in places that I didn't want to lose like my breast and glutenous maxi mus.  This is to my husband's dismay and my body as well.  I have discovered a long time ago, that I am naturally curvy with a lot of muscle mass.  I have an hourglass figure and I don't look right small.  My head looks enormous.  Well to celebrate the fact that I need to go shopping to buy clothes for my new body and job; I ordered two pairs of jeans from Ann Taylor Loft in a size 8.  I gave away all of my size 10 jeans because they were too big.  I received the jeans in the mail and tried them on...... they were too big.  So, off to the post office they went and I ordered a size 6 in the two pairs of jeans.  I hope these fit. 


Members that attend the same gym as me told me I don't need to lose anymore weight.  I am stuck in a dilemma because I love to run now.  I purchased two pairs of running shoes by Puma and Mizuno that I absolutely love.  The running is not only helping me lose weight but I am losing muscle mass as well. When I went on this weight loss journey, I wanted to lose body fat and keep and gain muscle.  I want that lean and cut appearance.  I was told by a trainer to cut down on the running.  I am afraid because I don't want to gain weight.  Any suggestions?

Many, Many 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!
