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

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.

So what do you think of this Chic look,  I think Jennie Garth pulls it off perfectly.  And for those days when your hair is having a mind of it’s own, it could be just what you need.  My two favorites are Jennie’s and Maria’s, the first and last picture.  For me I need a little height on top otherwise I just feel like I didn’t do my hair!

Are you going to experiment with this so called new style?   And how perfect would these looks be for SUMMER.

Whether you dress the LOOK up or dress it down, find your own style of braid which looks best on you and give it a try!

Is their anything more beautiful than Spring?   New beginnings, cool breezes, and flowers.. . . after falling for the wispy fabrics and pleated chiffon in erin fetherston‘s recent autumn/winter collection, was reminded of the enormously beautiful bouquet of pink peonies on the sun-drenchedjuliet balcony of her paris apartment, and how bright blossoms never fail to make everything feel like spring . . .

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.
