Blessings To All. I would like to take this opportunity to say Happy New Years.  I hope 2014 is a very blessed year for you.  I have been rather busy this past couple of weeks. Dealing with things in my personal life beyond my control and the year end blessings that the Creator has bestowed on my family.  My husband and I received job promotions in which were not expected. Also, we had some unexpected FBI activity in our home due to a bank robbery that occurred behind my condo.  It was a scary experience and inconvenient.  However, the job promotions were the silver lining and people were not hurt. I was reading an article the other day about the surge and popularity of blogs.  Blogs are used as a personal diary or account of the writer which can be viewed by many people all over the world.  Blogs can be a way to promote a business, personal interests, or vent out your personal feelings.  What I retained out of the article is t...

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 ...

Blessings To Everyone, I hope all is well.  I am re-cooping from cooking Thanksgiving dinner and working a full eight hours at Ann Taylor on Black Friday.  It wasn't too crazy; however, the store became really busy within the last hour of my shift.  It takes a patient person to work retail when you have 6 different questions coming from 6 different women at the same time.  However, I welcome the challenge because it tests my limits.  Anyways, I am sitting here typing and stretching out my new Christian Louboutin Geo Pumps ( http://www.barneys.com/on/demandware.store/Sites-BNY-Site/default/Product-Show?pid=502682721 ).  As I mentioned in earlier posts, I have the most difficult time with shoes especially Christian Louboutin.  Every pair of Louboutins that I bought, I had to send them back to the store.  I like the Geo pump because of the low kitten heel.  These shoes are more realistic for me to wear than the sexy skyscraper shoes...

Hello All, October is here!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!  This is my favorite time of the year.  The crisp air.  The changing of the colors, and of course my birthday.  My birthday is coming up in about 2 1/2 weeks and it is a special one.  I will be turning the big 4-0 .  Most people have qualms about getting older and I am one of those people.  However, I look at getting older as a blessing.  Hopefully you have learned the lessons and you are able to move on.  I look back on my life and there are some things that I could have done differently; or I lament over not being where I want to be .  As I really look beyond that, I am exactly where I need to be at the moment.  I am a work in progress.  Society pressures us on what makes us successful.  Success is measured on who you know, what you know, what you have, and where you live.  I am reading a book called The 7 Laws of Success by Herbert W. Armstrong.  What I have...

Blessings To All, http://pinterest.com/pin/7388786862094560/   Wow, it has been a long time since I posted; June 30th.to be exact.  I have been really busy with work and my personal life.  As I mentioned before, I am thinking about a new direction in which to take this blog.  When I don't blog, that means that nothing inspires me at the time.  I have been just going with the flow of things and just taking it easy.  I have embarked on a journey of minimalizing my closet and my life.  I am definitely trying to cut down on buying things that I am not going to use and really concentrate on using the things I currently have.  My motto is, whatever I bring into my closet; I must take something out.  I find myself holding on to clothes that I wore when I was about 40 pounds heavier because of the quality and not being able to find something quite like it.  Now that I approach the end of my 30s, my taste have definitely changed and re...

Blessings To All, I am finally getting my groove back when it comes to blogging.  This Sunday my hubby put his cooking skills to use with some dry rub hot wings.  They were delicious.  Anyways, I went to Target to check out the FEED for Target line.  I found out about the line while browsing through a magazine at my hair salon.  The advertisement caught my eye because of the denim vest being shown.  You know I collect denim shirts and vests.  Also, I always love the FEED line because of its RED campaign a few years back. FEED was started by Lauren Bush Lauren who is a model and activist who happens to be the niece of George W. Bush and daughter-in-law of Ralph Lauren.  Proceeds from FEED for Target with every purchase will provide meals to children and families across America. What good way to give back while looking great.  More information about the FEED projects can be found at  http://www.feedprojects.com/ . Here are of my ...

Blessings To All, I have not been inspired lately to blog.  However, I received a notice this morning that Google Reader is shutting down on July 1, 2013.  So, I am trying to figure this whole thing out.  I will be back shortly.  Have a great day. <a href=" http://www.bloglovin.com/blog/3406596/?claim=khwym5yd3vv">Follow my blog with Bloglovin</a>
