Happy April and Holy Week

Spring is definitely in the air.  This week is Holy Week and unfortunately the weather here in Chicago is not as nice as it was two weeks ago.  This is a very special week celebrating the resurrection of my Savior.  It also brings back the fondest memories of me in Japan, 2005.  I remember attending sunrise Easter service under the cherry blossoms.  Japan was the most favorite place for my family and I.  One of the things I remember most is my daughter bringing home origami.  I think my daughter was obsessed with origami at the time.  Well, one of my favorite bloggers Wendy's Lookbook showcased an origami blazer by Patricia Chang.  The blazer can be seen at http://www.wendyslookbook.com/2012/04/spring-origami-structured-blazer-lime-dress/sed.

I am sort of obsessed with origami as well.  I purchased an origami skirt and dress with origami skirt from Spiegels and Newport News respectively.  Since I lost weight, I am on the hunt for some abstract pieces.  I love clothing that has an edge while at the same time being timeless.  The skirt and the dress comes in neutral colors that I love which will allow me to dress up or down. 

Holy Week and Spring is a time for renewal.  A time to get a second chance to get it right.  For me it is a time to re-group and re-invent myself. 

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

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...
