Hi Stylish People! Here we are on another chilly Friday. Can you belive it was 32 degrees this morning? and it’s not going to be that much higher over the weekend. I’m pretty sure the groundhog is in his burrow laughing really hard at us.
While going through my daily emails, I came across this lovely gold plated and leather bracelet on Joyus.com {search for The Perfect Bracelet}. If you’re looking for unusual accessories, Joyus is one of the sites to visit {you have to sign up to be able to shop}. At only $38 dollars for a set of 3, these would like really nice in multi stacks; and with free shipping on $50 or more it’s worth it. I know they’ll be on my list of accessories for the upcoming spring/summer season.
Another little treasure which arrived in my inbox were Cable Keeps by Nice, which are being sold on the Fab.com website, this is another site you need to be a member to shop, but it takes all of 5 minutes to sign up. If you’re like me and the mess of white cable cords, which power all of our various i-devices does not sit well with you, well, here is a colourful and tidy solution. They’re only $12 for the next 6 days, not bad for neatness.
The most important things for me to do this weekend, is to get a haircut, upload some new items to my Etsy store, and create a couple of my Penelope Rosette hats for Easter. What’s on your weekend list?
Whatever you do, have a Restful, Peaceful and Amazing weekend.

Well today is the official first day of spring. With temperatures in the high 40’s low 50’s (plus overnight frost) it certainly does not feel like it. The most important thing is, it’s officially here, which means we have lovely warm weather and blue skies to look forward to.
With thoughts of spring in the air, I thought this lovely floral dress by Haute Hippie at PiperLime.com was a good representation of the weather to come. It’s a little on the expensive side at $565! but I’m sure you can find something very similar at H&M, Zara or any of the other major chain stores. If I find an alternative, I’ll feature it in a future post. Click on the dress or the link to be taken to the PiperLime website.
Wishing you a Marvelous and Amazing Wednesday!

Hi Dahhlings… Here we are again, another Monday, even though it’s trying to snow here, it’s still a beautiful day. I’m feeling so much better after my sluggish week last week; my body has finally caught up to the Daylight Savings Time change 🙂
I had a great weekend; I created a couple of my flower hats in spring/easter colours, as well as sorting and organizing myself, both mentally and physically. It was a recalibration of sorts! I’m still reading “The Secret” which has been a fantastic source of inspiration for me. As I’ve mentioned in a previous post, this is my second time reading it, which has been much more fulfilling then the first time around. I’m coming to the end and I plan to re-read it all over again!
Last week I received my copy of Eat Right 4 Your Type, a book which was first published in 1997 by Dr. Peter J.D’Adamo. The premise of the book is that due to our individual blood types, there are certain foods which are not conducive to our overall health and well-being.
My sister has been on this lifestyle food plan for approximately 6 years, and it truly has done wonders for her, she is testament to me, that it actually works.
The book explains the reasons why certain foods are not good for us, and guides you through the process of eliminating them. to learn more, click here. I’ll keep you up to date on my progress. Click on the image or red link above to be taken to the Amazon website to order yours.
Have yourselves a Creative, Positive and Amazing week!

Isn’t this a great shot of Karl Largerfeld and the beautiful Sudanese beauty, Alek Wek!
Happy Friday Dahhlings… This has been a very sluggish, no energy week for me, I think it’s the time change {still don’t know why we continue to do this}, therefore, my posts have been very sparse this week.
Here are a few more images of the beautiful Alek:
I hope you’re having a fantastic Friday and you’re all set for the weekend, I know I am!
Have yourselves a Marvelous, Restful and Chic weekend.
And remember…

Well guess who woke up late because their iPhone alarm app did not sync with day light savings time? Why do we still do this? Other than that, I had a fantastic weekend, the weather was absolutely gorgeous, blue skies and lots of sun, and of course today, it’s cloudy and overcast. No matter what, we’ re still going to have a great day!
I want to wish you an Amazing, Positive and Productive Monday, and remember…

While going through my Instagram feed, I discovered the lovely boutique Shoxie! When I saw this wrap maxi dress I was completely bowled over. At $125.00, I think it’s a steal in order to look gorgeous, for the upcoming summer affairs, where you want to look simple, yet elegant, and very nicely put together, without too much fuss. I’ve got my eye on either of the black and white striped dresses myself, or maybe the coral… decisions, decisions.
How would I wear? Sky high wedges and a neon clutch (post coming soon); topped off with my Tom Ford red lipstick in Cherry Lush, and I’m good to go 🙂
Make your way to their lovely online boutique here or click on the dresses above to be taken right to them!

Well the 8-12″ of snow never showed up. What we did get was sleet mixed with freezing rain and a dusting of snow early yesterday morning. It was quite interesting and fun to listen to the various weather men {or are they weather persons?) create excuses as to why it didn’t happen.
Oh well I had a lovely day; Skyping with my sister in London, and doing all the lovely indulgent things I said I was going to do. It’s Thursday, so we’ve nearly reached the weekend; therefore, I’ve got things to do, and an empire to run! 🙂
Have yourselves a Fabulous and Amazing day!

Well we’re having a snow day here in Washington, DC. As some of you may know, it takes approximately one snowflake to shut DC down!!! Works for me. We’re expecting approximately 8-12″! We’ll see.
So to amuse myself, these are the things I’ll be doing today: Drinking tea, watching TV, crocheting and reading The Secret {all of this in bed}, while intermittently snacking on goodies. I’m going to throughly enjoy my day.
If you’re looking for some comfort food, here’s a great recipe “Baked Ziti with Spinach, Artichokes and Pesto” I found on Pinterest via “Inspired Taste” , one of my favourite food blogs ~ I’m definitely going to try this one. Here’s the recipe
For an easy snack, here are some easy to make Mini Chocolate-Chip Breakfast Cookies, taken from another of my favourite food blogs “Chocolate Covered Katie“. Recipe here
If your snowed in, have a lovely and snuggly snow day; and if you’re not, have yourself the most Amazing day!

Happy Monday Dahhlings! Another week, another opportunity to do something wonderful and accomplish more than you did last week. I want to ask you a question? Describe one word which sums up your weekend. Leave your answer in the comments section, I’d love to hear from you. The one word which sums up my weekend is… SERENDIPITY! Because I truly did find something fortunate in a unexpected place.
I’m looking forward to reading the one word which you feel describes your weekend.
Have yourselves an Amazing, Productive and Fabulous week.
Love, Light and Passion
