This quote fittingly describes the woman I am today! I truly do find delight in anything ridiculous. You must be able to have a good laugh at yourself and at life, and shout out loud… Who cares! Once you let go of all the nonsense, life becomes much more Enlightening, Free, Exhilarating, and Super Extraordinary. Get yourself a Lively and Playful disposition TODAY!
As my sister (my staunchest supporter) recently told me “Twinkle Twinkle You’re A Star” That also means YOU!
Here’s a cupcake for you!
Happy Wednesday Dahhlings

After the extremely hot and humid summer we had {100+ degrees, 20 straight days} I’m actually glad Autumn is finally here, with temperatures ranging between 65 and 75 degrees. The mornings are now chilly {at least between 35 and 50 degrees} so you now have to dress in layers; but by mid morning/afternoon, its blue skies and gorgeous temperatures.
Here are some of my suggestions for key autumn transition pieces. I know you must have some variation of these looks in your closet.
Purple!! One my absolutely favourite colours. And yes, I will be creating hats similar to this one… Love It!!!
My best purchase of the season ~ Zara Studio Coat which is now sold out
The Maylana’s Closet “Grand” Cowl ~ 85% Wool, 15% Alpaca ~ More colours on the way!
Always have a pop of colour!
oversized sweaters, cowls and extra long scarves are must haves!
Very much in love with these Steve Madden “Fraankie” Boots ~ For $150 they’re a great purchase, compared to others. ~click to buy ~
This is is going to be an ongoing post, I will be posting more ideas for your fall/winter wardrobe, as well as posting some of my own key pieces.

Happy Monday Sweethearts! How was your weekend? Mine was restful, the weather was gorgeous, and honestly I did not accomplish everything I wanted, but I relaxed, got another cowl started, and had a wonderful and creative exchange of ideas with my sister, as to how we want to expand our entrepreneurial endeavours.
I did not go to the Women Who Rock exhibit at the National Women In The Arts Museum as I mentioned in Friday’s post, but I promise, I will be stopping by soon; so that I can tell you all about it {I’ve got until Jan 6! :-)}
A little artistic amusement for you!
And lastly, I found these gorgeous yellow suede wedges on Pinterest, they have absolutely nothing to do with anything, but I felt they would brighten your Monday {they’ll certainly brighten mine}; plus I LOVE THEM!! I hope you’ll check out my Pinterest boards, {there are 35 and counting!}. If you’re a Pinterest addict like I am; follow me, let me know, and I’ll follow you; I’d love to see what you’re up to. Creativity is what life is all about!! Click here to see boards
Wishing you a Fantastic and Productive Monday

I’m really thanking God it’s Friday today. Another long grueling week is coming to a close; but the weekend is finally here, and I’m going to enjoy it to the max!!!
I just found these chevron striped Louboutins and they have already made my morning while drinking my cup of hazelnut coffee. I’m hoping to find other images of this shoe, so stay tuned.
I’m also planning to visit the Women Who Rock exhibition, which is an interactive retrospective, spotlighting more than 70 artists at the National Museum of Women In The Arts; here in DC until January 6. Blog post on this groundbreaking presentation coming soon.
Have yourselves a Fabulous, Extraordinary and very Chic weekend.

In my opinion Oprah is looking pretty fierce in this white tuxedo ensemble. Photographed by Terry Richardson for November’s Harper’s Bazaar; Oprah talks about why it was time after 25 years, to leave her infamous talk show, which touched many people’s lives the world over; and move on to create and run OWN {Oprah Winfrey Network} TV cable channel.
The statement I admire from most people’s favourite billionairess, is “When you have reached the peak of a mountaintop, which is where I was with the Oprah show, you have absolutely no worries. I’d been in the right space at the right time, and I’d done that in the best way possible for 25 years. But you have two choices: You can come down from the mountain and spend the rest of your days thinking it was so beautiful there, or you can create a vision, look upward, see the next mountain, and start the climb all over again.” My question to you is… Which path would you choose?

I had a really productive weekend; I photographed and uploaded some new inventory to my Etsy store, drafted a few potential blog posts and was all around very productive. Having your own business, truly is a beautiful thing; lots of hard work, but totally worth it. Stay tuned to the beautiful crochet cowls coming from Maylana’s Closet and the gorgeous knits coming from Sassy Knits; my big sister’s entrepreneurial venture in London.
Speaking of big sisters, here she is being her usual fabulous and gorgeous self; seen here with the extremely talented Omar at his concert in London on Saturday might; plus another pic with Jade {Baby Spice’s hubby}. I miss my big sis and hope to see her soon. Love you Al!! Smooches!
P.S. In case you’re wondering the beautiful clutch bag above is by Miu Miu.
Here’s a little Omar for you ~ One of my favourites, There’s Nothing Like This
Wishing you a Beautiful, Productive and Amazing week!

Do you want everyone to know you’re an elegant book-worm? If you’re like me, you always have a book in your bag {though some prefer Kindles or Nooks, I still prefer paper}; well you can with these beautiful quirky reinterpretations of hardcover literary classics; recreated as book clutches by Parisian designer, Olympia Le-Tan. Chanel and Kate Spade also have their own versions {I love the Chanel one above}. For those of us who’ve been around a while, we know this trend is not new.
I remember the Vogue magazine clutches of the 80’s, glossy elongated envelopes created with classic Vogue covers. I wish I had one now! These unique treasures have lately been seen on the red carpet of various events. The clutches are retailing between $1120 – $1420. What I do love about the Olympia Le-Tan clutches is that they are lined in beautiful Liberty of London fabric.
It appears the Olympia Le-Tan clutches, which appeared around 2009 are becoming collectors items, because the more popular titles have become hard to come by, and of course are selling on eBay at ridiculous prices. If you are DIY inclined (the route I would go!), here is a link by Scibbit which shows you step by step how to create your own book clutch for a fraction of the price. click here; and here’s another tutorial from the Huffington Post; creating a clutch from an actual book. click here

Happy Monday Dahhlings! Here we are at the start of a new week; another chance to accomplish something extraordinary! I hope you had a wonderful weekend; It got a little chilly yesterday, but that’s autumn for you. What’s on your to do list this week?
Remember to always do what Marilyn’s asking… She’s right!
Have yourselves a Fabulous, Inspiring and Beautiful week.
P.S. As I was about to post “Have An Amazing Monday“, I found this beautiful quote posted on my Facebook timeline, and had to include it.

So much has happened since my last post a week ago! Fall arrived, new contract keeping me busy, attended a very elegant fashion affair; and now I’m nursing a horrible head cold. So here’s a quick post for you, until I’m feeling better.
I found these colourful Missoni inspired shoes by Betsy Johnson and thought they were worth posting. Click here to purchase
I’d wear these beauties with a black menswear inspired pants suit accessorized with a rose gold clutch in order for the shoe to make it’s own “quiet” statement.
See you soon Dahhlings!

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!
