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 more of a cerulean blue... that same cerulean blue that caused a fiasco in Devil Wears Prada movie.  It is a perfect blue for the spring.  I had my heart set out on the royal blue but received cerulean instead.

Dooney and Bourke has become one of my favorite brands.  It takes a break from the $$$$ price point of bags that I have become accustomed to. The quality is impeccable and they come in a lot of fun colors.  There is something for everyone from this line.  I tend to buy their more higher end lines such as Alto and Amazon.  I don't mind because it beats the $$$$ you will spend with other brands.  Dooney and Bourke is kind of an equestrian type brand.  I like the equestrian style:  riding boots, a crisp white shirt, dark denim jeans or riding pants, and a nice coat.  The bag can be purchased at Dooney and Bourke or Zappos.com at http://www.zappos.com/product/7927947/color/350038.

 Blessings!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    I just ordered this bag in natural and found by googling it with images. The blue is beautiful. It might end up too big for me (I'm 5'1") but we'll see!

      I love this bag. I am 5'2 and it is just right. The bag will soften up over a couple of days.

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!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
