Good Evening All, Many, many, many blessings.   I hope everyone had a great Thanksgiving.  I had a wonderful Thanksgiving amongst my family.  I just wanted to share with all of you guys that I am a very blessed to see another year and was able to spend time with my family and  have plenty to eat.  Lately, I have been playing around with a lot of fragrances.  I love to layer my fragrances where they can linger for many hours.  My dog also loves the way I smell. He often rubs himself on the floor when I spray my fragrance.  Well, I want to share with you some finds I recently bought. I like to play the role of a scientist when it comes to smelling lovely.  Here are my favorites of the moment. Many, many, many blessings!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! http://www.neimanmarcus.com/p/Diptyque-34-Boulevard-Saint-Germain-Solid-Perfume-diptyque-/prod154000147___/?icid=&searchType=MAIN&rte=%252Fsearch.jsp%253FN%253D0%2526Ntt%253Ddiptique%2526_r...

Good Afternoon and Many, Many, Blessings Yesterday was my birthday. I know, you have a birthday every year and what?  This is my last birthday of my 30s.  I have been MIA from the blog for over a month.  I just didn't feel like it.  When you get a little older, you just don't care about things that may appear trivial.  Not to say that this blog is trivial because I hope that it reaches many people and help them along the journey of life.  I felt this blog has been a blessing to me because it was an outlet for me when I lost my job.  I hope that my life experiences and things that I write about touch others as well.  I am very thankful to see another birthday.  http://www.anntaylor.com/ann/product/AT-Apparel/AT-MHL-GRAPHICS/Merino-Wool-Blend-Chevron-Skirt/292459?colorExplode=false&skuId=12455416&catid=cata000016&productPageType=fullPriceProducts&defaultColor=6600  http://www.anntaylor.com/ann/product/AT-A...

Good Morning, I have been lazy lately in regards to keeping up this blog.  Like I mentioned when I first started this blog, I am random.  I am a person who gets bored with things very fast.  Don't get me wrong, I like talking about random things that mostly involve around fashion and looking your best.  However, as I get a little older and gain wisdom, I find that there are more important things to talk about.  I am a blogger, who follows other bloggers and I find that everyone is pretty much talking about and doing the same things.  I can put pictures of myself in various outfits and post them on the blog (which I have done) but I find that other bloggers do this as well and what is the fun in that? One thing on my journey to self awareness is that I tend to do the opposite of what everyone else is doing.  In fact, that was one of the few lessons I received from my parents growing up.  If everyone else is going right, you go left....

Blessings to All, I am such a slacker. I have been really slacking from writing lately. I have some sort of writer's block. One thing I can say, the Chicago area is transitioning into Fall. I cannot wait. It seems that is has been hot forever. I am welcoming a new change of season. Some of the things that I love about Fall are the brisk, cool air. It is not too hot or too cold. I love wearing the colors associated with Fall... warm colors like black, tan, camel, brown, taupe, red, and etc. I love the textures that represent Fall i.e. leather, cashmere, wool, tweed, and suede. With every post, I like to leave you with a couple of my favorite items.

    http://www.jcrew.com/ Blessings to All, I have been having fun lately. My best friend from Philadelphia came to visit for the weekend. I had a sleepover on Friday including my baby sister and daughter. We went to this fabulous little African/Asian store called Global Infusions. They had a girl's night out with food, wine, and live jazz. It was pleasant. It reminded me of my time in Japan surrounded by Oriental Furniture and incense burning from India. I have been on a mission trying to find the right denim shirts. I love denim shirts. I think they are the must have to any wardrobe and can be considered a classic piece. Denim shirts can be dressed up with a pair of slacks or skirt or dress down with leggings, khakis, or little white shorts. It is something nautical about a denim or chambray shirt. Here are some suggestions. http://www.eddiebauer.com/catalog/product.jsp?ensembleId=43403&catPath=&viewAll=n&pg=1 http://canva...

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 ha...
