Wow!!! What a week! This was the longest and shortest week ever! Have you ever had one of those?
I’ve got so much going on; new contract; trying to start and finish up the Maylana’s Closet winter accessory line; coordinate with my sister who is in the middle of creating her own knitwear line, while helping me prepare for the big fashion event I wrote about on Monday click here. Are there enough hours in the day… Help!!
The above photo is where I’d love to be right about now!
Before I slept for a week, I’d take a long soak in this gorgeous specimen of a tub…
Then top my night off with a cocktail called Dark & Stormy… Click here for recipe
Wishing you a Fabulous, Amazing and Chic filled weekend!

I’m in love with these ballet flats from J. Crew. With it’s very lady like, yet edgy, gold chain T-strap. it’s the ideal dainty running around shoe, when heels just won’t do, but you still want to look chic. Also available in black ~ $198 at J. Crew.
I had to post this shot of Linda Rodin from the J. Crew 2012 fall campaign, who is still fierce at 63 years old! ~ Stylist turned beauty guru, still modeling, running a successful skin care line for mature women, among other things. I love this quote from her “You can’t chase youth. You’ll just look older with a face lift.” How true!
This is going to be an extremely busy week, so my posts might be sparse; but I’ll try to send out a few short posts to keep you smiling. Look out for some great images from New York Fashion week, courtesy of my friends over at Medina=Citi {yes the equal sign is deliberate}.
Do wonderful things with the rest of the week!

Click image to see Grace Jones perform Slave To The Rhythm ~ Hula Hoop and all at Buckingham Palace!
It’s been an extremely busy week, so from the archives, here’s a repost of an article I wrote back in June. Ms. Grace Jones hula hooping at Buckingham Palace, in honour of Queen Elizabeth’s Diamond Jubilee. Click on the image to enjoy the video.
This is who I want to be when I grow up to be 64 years old!! My sister called me from London and alerted me to Grace Jones‘ Slave To the Rhythm performance at Buckingham Place for Queen Elizabeth’s Diamond Jubilee… Wow!! There is no one more fabulous than Ms. Jones. Grace appears on stage with a hula hoop by her side, then proceeds to hula hoop through the entire song! She Hula Hoops!!!! Check out Grace’s legs!!!
Grace makes me proud to be a British Born Jamaican!! As my sister says “She is a bad gyal” (in Jamaican dialect). At 64 Grace is still the rocking Glamazon she’s always been.
Big up Ms. Jones! Yes we love the rhythm!
Enjoy the video!

Happy Wednesday Dahhlings! We’re half way there, speeding towards the weekend; so to help you along, I’m sending some cheerful colour into your life.
I Found this gorgeous shot on Pinterest and had to post it for you. I felt the colours were amazing with her exotic almond shaped eyes, and decided that all this sparkle, was just the thing to perk you up, and help you through the next 2 days. WE’RE NEARLY THERE!
I need your help; can anyone think of another term for Wednesday instead of “hump day“? I really dislike that term! Isn’t there something more fun and a little more chic we could use?

Well Dahhlings, another Monday is upon us. I hope you enjoyed your weekend and also Fashion Night Out on Thursday. I saw no reason to do a major blog post on FNO as every “fashion” blog in the blogosphere was writing about it.
For those of you who attending New York Fashion Week, I know it’s as fabulous as all those photos I’ve been seeing on Instagram and Tumblr. I hope to attend Fashion Week in London or New York with my sister in either Febuary or September 2013 {Watch this space!}
There are some absolutely gorgeous peices for next S/S 2013, I already can’t wait; though we haven’t even gotten thru winter 2012 yet! I’ll feature my favourites over the next few months, to cheer you up when the weather gets gloomy.
If you’re still looking for Fashion Week info for 2012 as well as dates for 2013 click here
I want to wish all of you an amazing week; I’ll leave you with a few little tidbits to ponder until next time…
Remember…
And always…

UPDATE: 9.5.12 ~ The La Provocante lipstick is already sold out on the Chanel website 😦 I’ll keep you posted!
As everyone knows Thursday, September 6, marks the nationwide style event entitled, Fashion Night Out {FNO}. To all my followers overseas, FNO is a nationwide event, where every style maven, fashion editor, blogger, and chic shopaholic dressed to the nines, will be sipping cocktails, watching fashion shows, and makeup demonstrations, grabbing goodie bags, and of course shopping at the various participating stores.
Chanel is releasing a limited-edition colour collection, called Les Twin-Sets De Chanel to celebrate fashion’s most exceptional evening with three chic duos for lips and nails. I’m loving the nail colour Provocation and its corresponding lip colour La Provocante {above}, which is a sexy Merlot coloured red; one of the dark sexy colours debuting this season. This duo is sure to bring out the seductress in you! {click on link for a surprise!}.

Happy Labor Day to you Dahhlings! I hope you are enjoying your much deserved day off. For most of us, this is the last holiday until Thanksgiving {not many get Columbus or Veterans Day, unless you work for the Government}, so enjoy it!
Well as you can see from above, this is my 200th post and I’m quite proud of myself. Blogging has been fantastic for me and to me; therefore, I’ve decided to dedicate this post to say Thank You! Blogging has allowed me to meet the most wonderful people on WordPress and other sites such as Twitter, BlogTrends and Instagram, to name a few. I’ve been embraced by bloggers of all genres, large and small, and I appreciate it.
The blogging community as a whole, is like one big creative family constantly supporting each other; I’m happy to be a part of it. So once again, I’d love to thank you all for following and reading my posts, and I look forward to writing another 200, plus many more in the coming future.
This would be a cool bed to watch all the marathon TV shows, which are being shown today ~ I’m an NCIS fan myself!

Very much in love with this handbag by J. Mendel
Today should have been my monthly Object’s of Desire posting, where I would post something ultra extravagant, if I had unlimited funds and/or a Black Amex card. Unfortunately my day started really late, so instead of giving you a half ass post, I’m posting a few of my favourite things.
I’m totally in love with the entire J. Mendel collection, lots of black {my favourite colour} as well as a strong reds, camels and greys. Click here to be taken to their boutique.

I waited for 48 hours and she finally arrived! Yes my Canon EOS Rebel T3i camera arrived yesterday, and I am beyond Ecstatic. And yes, I’ve decided my camera is a girl!
I’ve been wanting a grown up camera for a while now; there was only so much my trusty iPhone 4 camera could do {even with the fantastic editing apps, which I’ll continue to use}. I also had a Olympus digital camera, my sister gifted to me years ago, which also did the trick; but it really was time to start playing with the big girls and boys (or at least in the sandbox with the other newbies).
After reviewing this baby to death, comparison shopping, and reading everything I possibly could about this camera, I finally made the leap on Tuesday; and now it’s here. 🙂
Now if I only knew how to use it!
Have a fantastic weekend Dahhlings, you know what I’ll be doing.
