Classic Charm - Houndstooth, Plaids...

Sign of the Times -  The Classic's with Grace and Manners  History, art, fashion and daily life always repeats itself throughout history.  After many years of  the "all about me" cemented by the media, many have grown weary of the selfish and the fake.  It is easy to state an opinion let live completely the opposite, which is frightening and troubling. One couple who seems to live with grace in the public eye following royal and society protocol is the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge.  Their words match their actions which in our current state of affairs is indeed rare.   If a country does not have a set of social mores to adhere too then the social fabric of a collective is broken.  My opinion is the circle of life is turning and most want societal norms put back in place.  Individual independence is important but remembering that you are not alone in this life is imperative.  Thus, grace, manners and yes classic appar...

Handbags - The Daily Life

Image
Fall is Coming! Owning a gorgeous handbag is essential when fall weather makes an entrance.  You suddenly are saying goodbye to summer and reaching for fall apparel, coats, sweaters and boots. Thus, a magnificent handbag is in order. It is important to purchase a handbag that makes a statement, is functional and stands the test of time. Think of your favorite which you use often or daily.  This creation is usually made of quality leather, has plenty of pockets to hold your accessories, makeup, sits well by itself, adds to the ensemble and is a comfort and beauty to behold.  If you do not own one or it is time to upgrade, well I have a few choices. Of course, it is difficult to choose.  All quality pieces acquired in life need to be thought about before the final purchase.   Here are my favorite totes and satchels.   Start fresh this fall with a beautiful handbag crafted to the nines.  Enjoy your life - gorgeous.  You dese...

Gucci Belt Craze

Image
Have One? No? You Need One Pronto! Gucci belts are everywhere right now and have been for years.   These eye fetching belts with the GG logo are striking.  My obsession with Gucci began when I saw a friend of mine standing in the mall wearing jeans, boots, white blouse, leather jacket and THE gorgeous belt.  The ensemble was perfection, simple and elegant.  She stood out amongst the harried shoppers.  Afterwards, I was hooked and began to notice them constantly.  My conclusion is that you cannot go wrong sporting a Gucci black leather number around your waist that is beautifully crafted in Italy.   Well, get on it!  What are you waiting for? Expensive - yes - but timeless?  Of course! Sell out quickly. It is difficult to find one in-store and online.    Links are Included!  The Classic Double G Antique Brass Finish Gucci Cintura Donna Leather Belt - Black, White & Rose ...

Nordstrom Anniversary Sale - The Finishing Touch

Girls Got to Have Fun! If you saw my Nordstrom Anniversary Sale piece, you are set for basics.  Let's now select burning numbers that bring you joy with perhaps some amusement, hidden mystery or charm.  Basic apparel always need a punch of color or accessories to finish off the ensemble.   Thinking about spreading joy with apparel - are you doing this with friends in your daily life?  I have begun to wonder if being nice, grateful and kind has left the planet?  Luckily, I am blessed to have lots of kind and considerate friends but am sometimes taken aback when the idea of being thoughtful and mindful is forgotten.   Maybe it is shows like the Housewives that keep women on edge to believe it is okay to be mean girls?  Does it make one feel better about themselves?  Of course, none of us are perfect and we all make mistakes or say the wrong thing.   My mother always said, "You are not perfect. You will say the une...
