Bordeaux, Bordeaux, Bordeaux

Greetings Everyone!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!














I took a week off to gather my thoughts and post something meaningful.  As I mentioned, I am random.  However, I don't like to post anything just for the sake of posting things.  I have Fall on the brains.  It seems like it has been Summer forever.  You know in Chicago, Winter is coming.  I am wanting it now more than anything because of my allergies and for the fact it has been hot for too long.  Bordeaux has been on the brains.  Bordeaux is defined as the the port city in southwestern France which is known for its wine of the same name.  Bordeaux to me at this time is the color that is attributed to the wine.  For Fall 2012, bordeaux is the color. There are other colors that belong to the bordeaux family known as wine, oxblood, or claret to name a few. Above are some of my finds to celebrate the oncoming season.  I love reds normally and have yet to love, love the darker reds until recently.  The floor sets in Ann Taylor remind me of the transition from Summer to Fall.  I hope you enjoy my selections along with a warm glass of claret or bordeaux.

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...

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