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...

Blessings to Everyone, I am sitting as we speak babysitting my 2 month old niece and watching Joel Osteen.  I am on the computer just surfing the Internet and thought I have not posted to my blog in a couple of weeks.  I am going to be honest:  I have to be inspired to write something I think maybe meaningful to my readers.  I initially started this blog as a vehicle to inspire others as well as others inspiring me.  The topic of today is obeying.  Joel Osteen was speaking about being obedient to God.  My Spirit led me this morning to talk about eyelet.  I was inspired by an interview at with Christina Minasian at http://stylelikeu.com/blog/designer-with-style-christina-minasian/ .  Christina is the designer behind Pencey.  One of her starts was styling for the talented Lauryn Hill.  Lauryn Hill spotted Christina working at Ralph Lauren wearing Adidas soccer shoes, Seven jeans,and a men's yellow cable sweater over an eyelet blo...

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 differen...

Blessings to All, E very year designers alike come out with the trends for the new year. Pantone http://www.pantone.com/images/header/hdr_logo_en-na.gif   announced that emerald is the color of 2013. Other fashion insiders stated that 2013 is getting back to the basics. Black and white is the color that everyone should have in there wardrobe. This is not hard for me since the majority of my wardrobe has always been black. As I mentioned in earlier posts, I like what I like. When you have an authenticity about the wardrobe you choose, you will always be on trend. That is why I like my black and white and of course nautical stripes. My love of nautical is very close to me because of my stint in the United States Navy. Here are some of my favorite pieces.  http://www.loft.com/loft/product/product%3A292737/LOFT-promo-bucket-spring-1-exclusions/Stripe-Roll-Sleeve-Cotton-Sweater/292737?colorExplode=false&skuId=12912209&catid=catl000012&productPageType...

Happy New Years 2013!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Praise the Creator we have made it to another year.  I hope everyone had fun celebrating New Years Eve.  I kept it light.  The family and I had a taste for some Outback Bloomin' Onion and wings.  We assumed that the restaurant opened normal business hours which is 4PM.  However, we arrived at 4PM and much to our amazement, the restaurant was full with a 60 minute wait.  The family and I chose to grab our food and take it home.  We had a great time last night.  I enjoyed my 2 lobster tails and vegetables while being engaged with a bottle of wine.  The whole family watched Sons of Anarchy until me the party pooper went to bed at 9:30.  I am looking forward to the new year.  After reflecting on the previous year, I have made some large strides in being a better person.  Instead of making a New Years resolution as I always do, I am going to continue on my journey of servicin...
