Winter Blast.... Bring Out the Big Guns (Parkas, Shearlings, Furs)

Many Blessings,

I am sure most of you are going through a winter blast.  In the Chicago area, it is the norm.  What has been on the minds of most people; those fashion forward people like myself is finding warm and fashionable outerwear.  The outerwear that comes to my mind is shearlings and furs. To everyone's mind it may be that parka or puffer.  You know the parkas and puffers that make you look 100lbs heavier than you are and are hard to walk in.  Well, my fellow blogger out there Feather Factor (http://www.featherfactor.com) blogged about the perfect parka the other day and I just wanted to piggy back on what she discussed with a brand that I stumbled upon.

I have found the most stylish and warmest parka made by Mackage the other day.  This Parka has several ways you can wear it.   There are three layers of zippers to adjust the look of the coat. I had to go up a size in the parka because this brand tends to run smaller. 

Mackage is a Canadian brand that specializes in cutting edge outerwear in tailored leather, puffy, and wool.  The model seen here is known as the TRISH-F3 LONG BLACK DOWN JACKET WITH NATURAL FUR.  The best part of the jacket is the raccoon hood that transforms into a shawl in the back. This is a very funky parka.  I haven't worn it yet; hopefully I can wear it tomorrow if the weather is cold enough for it.  You can find the Mackage coat at http://www.barneys.com/on/demandware.store/Sites-BNY-

Many, 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 ...

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
