2018 Fresh Start - Apparel




New Beginnings, New Chapter









The New Year of 2018 has opened with promise, hope and a fresh chapter in life.  The beginning of a new year for me is always anticipated with upbeat enthusiasm.  There are adventures to be had, unknown challenges and joys to behold and embrace.   Many after the holidays feel sadness with the completion of the whirlwind holiday month of December.  The chaos, gift giving, visiting friends, dealing with families, enjoying winter vacations has been finalized for another year.  Often in January the weather can be dreary, which in turn can send people down the rabbit hole.   Yet, even Alice in Alice in Wonderland found the astonishment of each day and was ready to accept a spot of tea and a new page in life with vigor.  It is a glorious beginning even when it is raining, snowing and dark out. These are the days to grasp creativity and to focus on self rather than others.   While you are building, painting, writing, working, working out, laughing and partaking in daily life, there are a few pretty items to adorn oneself bringing cheer and loads of rainbow color.  Hold onto your hat, smile and bring in the New Year of 2018 with your own personal sunshine!

Statement Furry Fur








Stop Traffic Fur Scarf:  I know, it is real fur, but I couldn't help myself.   The fur was so pretty and the combined hues were sensationally sublime.  The fur is also extremely warm with a tinge of color transforming the beholder into butterfly.  Well, maybe not a butterfly but you get the idea.  Charming piece and goes with everything.

Little Baubles Please!










Earrings with Flair: The following earrings are a burst of energy and filled with flirty fun.  A must for the brrrr cold, resort vacation or just everyday life.  Every look in a mirror will bring on a wide smile.  They do not break the bank either and maybe retro or a bit trendy.  However, sometimes a cheery piece is essential.

Bedazzle friends and family in 2018.  Find a little sparkle from apparel, accessories or lipstick to brighten the day.  And, remember to fill the mind with new ideas, be curious, have unique adventures, worry less,  read books, focus on being positive and ignore negative energy from any source that spreads fear and hate like wildfire.  Instead, like Audrey, look for the good in people, work together and not against and understand that you are truly not alone.  Get out there and enjoy the energy of a new chapter in your life.  Go on - you can do it - spread your own personal sunshine!
