Color Trends for 2012

As a blogger, I check other blogs that interest me. I have been a frequent visitor in the past year of http://www.purseblog.com/. On the blog today, they talked about the color trends for 2012 in handbags. Pantone, Inc. who specializes in proprietary color space has chosen a color Tangerine Tango as the color trend of the year. Tangerine Tango can be described as a reddish/orange color. Purseblog being a blog for purses decided to find handbags that fall into this color category. One of the bags, a Bottega Veneta Maxi Veneta Hobo was being featured. It is a color called Fire. I have a Bottega Veneta Large Belly bag that I purchased on sale for $1,800.00 about a year ago in Fire. The Bottega Veneta Large Belly bag can be seen here at http://www.neimanmarcus.com/store/catalog/prod.jhtml?itemId=prod138600017&parentId=cat33170732&masterId=cat3650751&index=2&cmCat=cat000000cat000001cat000009cat000019cat3650751cat33170732&isEditorial=false.

When I look at the color that is being introduced and the bag that I already own, I am so glad that I like what I like. I always advise people, to buy what they like and dress according to your body type. When you do this, you will always be in style. Truly stylish people don't follow the majority when they dress themselves, they like what they like. It amazes me that when trends come out, I just laugh at myself and say "I already own that."
Style or swagger can't be bought; it is a given. That is what this blog is about, encouraging others to find their individual selves. Love the person that the Creator has made and find your own destiny/style.

Dooney and Bourke Leather Janine Satchel

Good Evening All, This week has been rather hectic. Dealing with family issues and job interviews at the same time. All is good and the Creator is in charge. I had purchased a Dooney and Bourke bag about two months ago to store my keys, ipod and identification when I workout at the gym. The bag wasn't a great choice and I end up exchanging the bag for a Dooney and Bourke Leather Janine Satchel in gray. At first I didn't really like the Janine Satchel because of the size. I love big bags; however since I have lost over 20 pounds, big bags are starting to overwhelm my stature. I wanted a gray bag because I wear a lot of gray outfits and have been unable to find the perfect gray bag. There are many different shades of gray that tend to be a little taupe or have a bluish undertone. This bag is more on the heather gray side with the beige vachetta accent. It is the perfect bag for the warmer months. The leather reminds me of the Prada S...

I Am Back

Blessings To Everyone, It has been two months since I last blogged. I have been extremely busy with work. I was working on a dress for success event with both my employers that includes Ann Taylor. We created an initiative to teach graduates how to dress for interviews and what to wear for work. At my primary job, we have to create initiatives along with my current job duties. The event was a success. One of the student models was offered a job at the new Loft flagship in Chicago. I also have been contemplating which way I would like this blog to go. The blog started out as a self help for me and to inspire others as well. I want to focus on inspiring others. In the past two months I have been out of town to Pennsylvania, New Jersey, and New York. Going to New York was one of the things I wanted to do before I leave this world. I would say that it is part of my bucket list. I enjoyed myself. You know I love all thing...

Flip Flops..... To Love or Not To Love

Blessings, I hope everyone is enjoying the weather. The weather here in Chicago has been iffy. We are experiencing weather that is normal for the month of April. I can't complain because at least we are getting rain instead of the drought of 2012. Also, many blessings to those that have experienced tornadoes and flooding. With warmer weather brings the love hate relationship with flip flops. In my weekly team meeting yesterday, the Director was going over the dress code (fashion seems to be a little laxed in warmer months) for the summer. One of the things that he mentioned that struck a cord was no flip flops. There has been a lot of debate about the health reasons against flip flops causing arch and leg pain; foot viruses in the locker room/shower room; and fractures from missteps or weather. In the workplace, flip-flops are prohibited in some instances and are considered very casual wear in addition to sweats and shorts. On ...
