Slightly more alive today and thanks to some of my favorite things. Flowers, always …. Miu Miu handbag, adore …. Pink cupcakes, my weakness and PINK shoes, well, no explanation needed! Right?

Whenever your spirits need lifted, just gazed and dream about your favorite things. Imagine yourself in them, wearing them, feeling them, it always works for me.

Happy Wednesday Luvs

My perfect day would start off with my desk looking similar to this one!  Type A personalities must always have everything in it’s place. The clean lines of the white are so inspiring and lends itself to my taste.

The only thing I see missing are my favorite Swarovski pens and maybe a crystal paper weight.

Happy Tuesday Luvs

Victoria’s Secret is seriously one of my favorite places to shop online. Always the 80′s ROCKER Chic at heart, so I will never conform to the norm!

Edgy, sexy, and feminine are what I tend to lean towards. With that being said, ummm I am over 40, sooooo I have to be cognoscente of that when selecting outfits. And that is why I love VS. Not only can you find fun and flirty, but you can actually find garments with just enough cover-up to be appropriate!

The pants above are so comfortable to lounge in, and when I’m poolside it gives me a great option to wear with my bathing suit top. I paired it with the t-shirt {second pic}, to complete the flowy & billowy look.  It works!

What are your choices for summer wear, where is your favorite place to find lounging attire?

Hope your week was FAB-ulous!

After a long weekend, some of us take more time to get back into the routine of life. Lovely dinners, with champagne kisses close off this Memorial Day. And now it’s Tuesday, back to reality.

“Make new friends but keep the old ones; one is silver and the other’s gold”

Hope your Tuesday is FAB!

Luxurious linens and breakfast in bed, after fun filled weekends is the best. Just enough time to reflect of moments spent with family and friends you cherish.

With our lives so busy these days, I feel it is important to take the time for ourselves. Even if it’s only for an hour, just enough to secure your thoughts and compose your future dreams. One of my favorite times of the day is when the lights go off and all is still and silent. I usually have a candle burning on my bedside table and my drapes open to gaze at the stars.  The peacefulness of a candlelit room, the flicker of the flame against darkness is so soothing.

It’s now time to blow this candle out.

Sex and The City Part 2… Is there a more girly movie ever made … I don’t think so!

Just love every thing about these movies.   As the release of SATC 2 approaches the ladies are gracing so many covers.  The clothes alone make it a must see.   So much glamor…Can’t wait for the release!  Grab your girlfriends, play dress-up and have a blast with our favorite fab four ladies of New York!

Below we get a glimpse of what we can expect, along with the price tags!  Oooo La La ….

Start the drooling now.

Tonight when I got home I did my usual routine, change my clothes, wash my face, make a cup of cappuccino and turned on E Entertainment news.  After the shitty week I’ve had, I needed some superfulous news, no CNN for me tonight!

That’s when I saw the story about the Showest Awards held last night in Las Vegas.  The clip showed Sarah Jessica Parker wearing the most beautiful dress I’ve ever seen.  I quickly grabbed my remote and hit pause!  As I sat here just gazing at this masterpiece, I wondered “who could the designer be”?   Ah yes, Marchesa of course, I found out quickly, as I began my feverish internet search.

This dress has all of my favorite elements, BLACK yay, lacy, ruffles, sexy, but not over the top sexy,edgy with a Rock and Roll look, although it could use a few inches added to the length.

I’ve decided this is my most very favorite dress of all time! I just love it!

As I was reading this weekend I came across some of the most fabulous accessories  to make any outfit pop!

The Accessory: Platform Sandals
If you’re game to show a lot of leg, accent pieces like thigh-grazing miniskirts with chunky sandals. A loose silhouette, as seen on Fendi’s runway, will keep the rest of your body under wraps—and further emphasize your endless stems.



Double Cuffs
Slip on a pair of statement bracelets for a striking (and unexpected) addition to an understated dress. Tyra Banks accentuated her asymmetrical sheath with a square silver set, while Demi Moore accessorized a strapless number with massive cabochon cuffs.

Colorful Clutches
Freshen up last year’s dress with an oversize clutch in a fun shade. Eva Mendes chose an aqua bag to accent her long lace gown, while Gabrielle Union carried a bright yellow patent clutch that matched her narrow belt.

Gold Shoes
Why match your shoes to your clothes when you can highlight the flash of your every day jewelry? Both Kate Walsh and Carrie Underwood brought out their bangles with the addition of 24kt heels—just think what a gilded pair could do to your wedding band.

Bright Scarves
Both warm and colorful, these double-duty accessories frame your face and brighten up your outfit. Claudia Schiffer added contrast to her black and white look with a shocking pink and acid green print, while Malin Akerman dressed down a black-sequined tank with a teal infinity scarf.

Neon Heels
Hotly-hued shoes are the perfect antidote to a monochromatic look. Claire Danes turned up the heat on a little silver dress with crimson peep-toes, while Sarah Jessica Parker gave an all-black outfit a whimsical touch with beribboned hot pink heels.
