Winter Blast.... Bring Out the Big Guns (Parkas, Shearlings, Furs)

Many Blessings,

I am sure most of you are going through a winter blast.  In the Chicago area, it is the norm.  What has been on the minds of most people; those fashion forward people like myself is finding warm and fashionable outerwear.  The outerwear that comes to my mind is shearlings and furs. To everyone's mind it may be that parka or puffer.  You know the parkas and puffers that make you look 100lbs heavier than you are and are hard to walk in.  Well, my fellow blogger out there Feather Factor (http://www.featherfactor.com) blogged about the perfect parka the other day and I just wanted to piggy back on what she discussed with a brand that I stumbled upon.

I have found the most stylish and warmest parka made by Mackage the other day.  This Parka has several ways you can wear it.   There are three layers of zippers to adjust the look of the coat. I had to go up a size in the parka because this brand tends to run smaller. 

Mackage is a Canadian brand that specializes in cutting edge outerwear in tailored leather, puffy, and wool.  The model seen here is known as the TRISH-F3 LONG BLACK DOWN JACKET WITH NATURAL FUR.  The best part of the jacket is the raccoon hood that transforms into a shawl in the back. This is a very funky parka.  I haven't worn it yet; hopefully I can wear it tomorrow if the weather is cold enough for it.  You can find the Mackage coat at http://www.barneys.com/on/demandware.store/Sites-BNY-

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 ...

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...
