"We will Rock You" "Everybody We will Rock You!" "We are longing for stories like this" Rami Malek - Best Actor, Boemian Rhapsody "Any little girl who's practicing their speech on the telly, you never know.  I used to work as a cleaner, and I loved that job.  I did quite a lot of my time imagining this."  Olivia Coleman, Best Actress, The Favourite I Paid My Dues Time after Time I've done my sentence But committed no crime And bad mistakes I've had made a few I've had my share of sand kicked in my face But I've come through And I need to go on and on, and on, and on We are the Champions my friends    Lyrics from "We are the Champions" - Queen  The 91st Academy Awards Sunday, February 24th, 2019 was one for the ages.   Yes, Hollywood is the Champion with no time for losers.  Hollywood is the champion.  Hollywood is the champion.  The energy, excitement, wit, grace an acceptance spe...

My Fav's For Friday, February 22, 2019 I believe it is time to wish for spring and summer after another snowy and bitterly cold week here in the Northwest.   Here are just a few items to uplift the spirit and think of end of winter.    Frye - White Leather Sneaker My Treasure and Bond white sneakers bought two years ago are scuffed and showing a bit of wear.  I wear them everywhere and love them.   However, time to locate for another spiffy white sneaker.  I can only wear sneakers made out of leather as I am allergic to other materials.  Luckily, I found a leather sneaker that will be a great replacement.  Pair with jeans, shorts and evoke and image of Audrey Hepburn.  The impeccable weekend foot attire or for everyday during the warm months to come.

"If you can't stop thinking about it - Buy it" Here are several items that have sparked my interest for the glorious week of February 15, 2019.  Hopefully, you all had a wonderful Valentines Day with loved ones.  With the arctic weather freezing the country we do need a pick me up until sunshine and heat become the spring norm.    Thus, I think it is time to reward ourselves.   Don't forget you are your own best friend. Thus splurge, smile and shop.  Kate Spade - The Pink Coat  "The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel" (Amazon) classic coat.  This coat is exquisite.  It runs large so size down.  I am actually a size 2, which is surprising since I am a size 6 in everything else.  On sale!

Live, Light, Love - Enlighten Me Please! Reading fills the soul, the mind and educates more than any other art form.  Opening a new book is similar to charting an unknown course across the open sea.   There isn't a day in my life that does not involve reading a book whether for pleasure, curiosity, for a book club, to learn something new or to help understand myself or others along this journey called life.  My latest is called The Gown by Jennifer Robson.  The novel is set in London after WWII and in present day Toronto, Canada.   The story is about those that created, designed and embroidered Queen Elizabeth's II, wedding gown during the aftermath of WWII in 1947. Life was bleak, little food, destruction, poverty abound yet two women from different backgrounds forged a friendship that lasted and was never forgotten.   Which brings me full circle in finding a couple of books that expound on what is friendship, what is love, what do...

The Daily & Weekend Favorite This post contains affiliate links. I will be compensated if you make a purchase after clicking on my links. Jeans are a constant staple in every fashionista's closet.  In our fast pace lifestyle, jeans are a must and will be worn over and over again.  Additionally, put away athletic wear unless going to the gym.  This style is on the way out and is never appealing.  Dr. Oz on The Today Show recently stated that wearing athletic wear all day gives one the idea that they are slimmer.  However, after several washes, these numbers stretch out almost an inch!  If you want to be stylish day and night sport a high quality denim in black, grey and dark blue.   The skinny jean is universally fabulous on women when combined with sweaters, coats, jackets, long blouses, boots, flats and pumps.   There are many brands to chose from when seeking a perfect fit.  The department stores are ov...
