Winter Blues

Good Evening To All,

Those of you that follow my blog are probably wondering where have I been.  Busy for sure.  Last month I became an Aunt again.  I've been helping my sister because she is a first time mom.  We welcomed little girl Marley to our already female dominated clan.  She is a little darling.  I also have a case of the winter blues.  The winter always bring about change into a new year where you have to die so you can be re-birthed into something new, fresh, and exciting.  The winter can also bring on the comfort foods that I enjoy but my things and butt hate.  I love New England Clam Chowder and my favorite lemon ice from Culvers. 

Today, I purged my purse collection because every year I go though a purging process. Last year it was my weight and this year it is my finances. I took out all the bags that I owned and realized that I had about five bags in the same color and 4 bags in the same styles but different colors.  I was telling my husband how stupid is this.  As you get older, you start to realize the things that people were telling you that now make sense.  I realized that I had purses in my closet that I was holding on to for sentimental reasons (i.e. my Fendi moon bag and Gucci Tote purchased in Yokohoma, Japan).  The bags were purchased 11 and 9 years respectively.  They no longer served a purpose in my now life.  

So, I gathered all the bags that no longer serve a purpose in my life and took them down to my local consignment shop.  I didn't get much for them; however I was able to get enough money to apply towards a new bag: The Saffiano Large City Tote by Coach http://www.coach.com/online/handbags/-handbags_feature_saffiano-us-us-5000000000000332303-en?t1Id=62&t2Id=5000000000000332303&tier=2&LOC=hr1# as shown below.  I was able to purchase this bag with my $100 coupon I received in the mail.  Mind you, in the past I kind of lost favor with Coach because of quality issues, however this new saffiano line is great.  The line reminds me of the old glory days of Coach.  The saffiano bag rivals the saffiano bags by Prada.

I bought this bag as a work bag to carry my extra pair of shoes, lunch, style books from Ann Taylor and other reading material.  I am happy about my purchase and it was well thought out.  I was able to turn my unworn items into 1 new one that I am going to use quite frequently.

I promise I won't be gone this long again.... God willing. 

Blessings......

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!

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 ...

Transition from summer to fall in style.... Ann Taylor Friends and Family

Good Evening All, I have been busy, busy, busy.  Trying to get acclimated to my new routine.  I went to my job today to get my carrot juice I left over the weekend and I left with the task of passing out Friends and Family fliers to people that I know.  Ann Taylor is having their Friends and Family sale beginning on August 2, 2012 through August 5, 2012.  This is the perfect time to save 30% off of your entire purchase.  Ladies, this is the time to stock up on your tropical wool suiting.  Down below I am wearing one of the skirts from the Fall collection. Don't mind the blurred picture.  I still don't know how to operate a camera properly.  I love the nautical themed skirt.  If you are an Ann Taylor card member, you can enjoy a special preview shopping day Wednesday, August 1st.  Also, I am including a promo code to be used online, FRIENDS1 at checkout.
