One of my favorite television shows which aren't very many happens to be Fashion Hunters on Bravo.  The show entails a thrift store based out of New York named Second Time Around. The shopkeepers raid the closets of New York socialites to sell designer duds at thrift store prices.  The thrift store prices are not what you are use to when shopping at flea markets or Salvation Army, but they put designer duds in the reach of the masses who don't have the million dollar paychecks.  Well, on the season finale so comically named "Crazy for Coco Cuffs", showed a potential co-signer trying to authenticate a cuff bracelet allegedly owned and worn by Coco Chanel herself.  As the show came to a close, it was discovered that it wasn't.  However, I loved the cuff regardless of rather Coco Chanel herself had worn it or not.  I own over a dozen of cuff bracelets.  They are the quintessential jewelry accessory.  My favorites are by Scott Kay and Lois Hill.  I like those designers because of the weight.  The weight is not flimsy.  They will last a lifetime.  Also, I have collected cuffs made out of Japanese china. Cuff Bracelets can add a pop to an all black outfit which was my uniform at the office.

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 ...

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!

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...
