Happy April and Holy Week

Spring is definitely in the air.  This week is Holy Week and unfortunately the weather here in Chicago is not as nice as it was two weeks ago.  This is a very special week celebrating the resurrection of my Savior.  It also brings back the fondest memories of me in Japan, 2005.  I remember attending sunrise Easter service under the cherry blossoms.  Japan was the most favorite place for my family and I.  One of the things I remember most is my daughter bringing home origami.  I think my daughter was obsessed with origami at the time.  Well, one of my favorite bloggers Wendy's Lookbook showcased an origami blazer by Patricia Chang.  The blazer can be seen at http://www.wendyslookbook.com/2012/04/spring-origami-structured-blazer-lime-dress/sed.

I am sort of obsessed with origami as well.  I purchased an origami skirt and dress with origami skirt from Spiegels and Newport News respectively.  Since I lost weight, I am on the hunt for some abstract pieces.  I love clothing that has an edge while at the same time being timeless.  The skirt and the dress comes in neutral colors that I love which will allow me to dress up or down. 

Holy Week and Spring is a time for renewal.  A time to get a second chance to get it right.  For me it is a time to re-group and re-invent myself. 

Blessings!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

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!

Happy New Years 2015!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

                                                               . Blessings to All,  It has been a long time coming for this post. The last time I blogged was back in May 2014.  Fast forward to January 1, 2015.  I am very happy to see another year.  I am so glad that 2014 is in the past.  Today is a time to look forward to new opportunities.  On my agenda this year is to get better and wiser.  I am on the path of eliminating baggage out of my life. I am very much interested in the minimalist movement.  A minimalist voluntarily simplifies their life.  It can include buying less things, reducing consumption, working less, and even eliminating toxic things from your life.  I always admired the Japanese culture.  They practice minimalism; however some may argue that is due ...

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 ...
