Looking Polished

Good Afternoon,

I hope all is well and everyone that watched the Superbowl last night, I told you so that the New York Giants were going to win.  I don’t follow football and I can care less who had won; however, I wanted New York to win because it was New York.  Being from Chicago, you can guess that I have a case of big city syndrome.  Anyways, I hope those of you were able to grab a piece of Jason Wu’s for Target capsule collection.  My little sister who lives in the city went to Target and said that by the time she went there, everything was gone especially the small sizes.  One blogger, said the line is kind of boxy.  I don’t know.  I haven’t received my two dresses yet and when I do, I will let you know.
As I mentioned on numerous times, I can be rather random.  Today’s randomness is centered around being polished.  As a kid, I admired women especially older women that look polished.  My aunt was one of those people.  Every since I can remember, my aunt was always polished.  I remember her in her 30s and 40s rocking her LV speedy with her diamond studs.  Her makeup was on point and her hair was cut short.  Rewind today, me in my late 30s rocking my curly pixie cut and my 2 carat diamond studs.  Being polished was one of the things that I aspired to be.  Low maintenance.  When I go to the nail salon behind my home, the nail technicians call me plain jane because I wear my own nails (healthy and beautiful) and no designs on my toes or nails.  Why would I distort my Essie or Chanel polish with embellishments? My jewelry alone are my embellishments.    Being polished, is KISS; Keep it Simple Stupid or Less is More. 

The keys to looking polished are knowing you.  Playing around with make-up choices or clothes that make you look your best.  Fit is always a key.  Clothes that are too big or too small will take away the polish from any look.  Quality is also a key.  I am not saying go out and spend $$$$$$ on a wardrobe because $$$$$$ doesn't equate quality.  Also, stick to clean lines.  Clean lines can always be dressed up with some key statement pieces such as a handbag, shoes, or a piece of jewelry.  Lastly, stay true to yourself.  Knowing the true you and giving yourself credit will add any polish to whatever you choose.

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...

Happy 4th of July

H A P P Y  4 T H  O F  J U L Y  ! ! ! ! ! ! ! I would like to take this opportunity to say Happy 4th of July to all.  I am taking it easy today.  My hubby barbecued some jerk chicken breast that have been marinating over night, some beef hot dogs, some lamb burgers, hamburgers, jerk shrimp, and some chicken quarters.  I did a healthy alternative to my famous macaroni and cheese ( wheat rotini noodles).  We are keeping it light.  My sister is coming over and we are just going to watch some movies and relax.  As an ode to the 4th of July, here are some items that I recommend not only for today, but for all time. Blessings!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
