I haven’t written an Objects Of Desire post in a little while, but here’s one that caught my attention a few days ago. Mr. Tom Ford has released a complete set of his beautiful nail lacquers exclusively for Neiman Marcus priced at $480.00!
This exclusive 16 colour set has every possible shade you would ever need to carry your chic wardrobe from now to next spring/summer to enhance your chic wardrobe. Tom Ford nail lacquers retail for approximately $30 dollars each; why would you buy a $30 nail lacquer? Because you’re absolutely worth it! Again this is an Object of Desire, so maybe Santa will leave this under the tree for you, if you’ve been good this year.

Well today is back to work Monday, after our long 4 day weekend. This is the real countdown to Christmas; how is your gift buying going? Have you started? Are you going to wait until christmas eve; or are you just buying a little something for you?
Have yourselves a Positive, Productive and Exhilarating week!

Well now that you’re 10 pounds heavier and possibly a few hundred to a thousand dollars lighter, due to Black Friday shopping, I hope you had a fabulous Thanksgiving Day; giving thanks for your family, friends and where you are at this time in your life {I hope it’s a good place}.
Personally I don’t get sucked into the Black Friday shopping hype, in my opinion its major publicity in overdrive by the big retailers; I just truly prefer to shop in the comfort of my own home online, or go out to the stores when they first open on a lovely Saturday, and not be crushed in a wave of people pushing and shoving to get that “As Advertised” item.
If you were able to procure that special item you’ve been coveting, good for you, it’s nice when you get that special something for yourself or as a gift for someone else at a really good deal.
Tomorrow, November 24 is Small Business Saturday, and we small businesses count on you, especially at this time of the year. So before you spend all of your money at the big box and high-end retailers, please give us small fry a thought, the beautiful, handmade, vintage and one of a kind items you can find from us are second to none. If you have a small business you’d love to promote, either leave the name of your business in the comments section of this blog or leave your info at my Facebook fan page www.facebook.com/maylanascloset.
You can visit my Etsy store at www.etsy.com/shop/maylanascloset ~ I hope to have more new items uploaded by 2pm tomorrow… See you there!
This beautiful twinset will be available tomorrow 11/24 {around noon} in the Maylana’s Closet Etsy store. Brand new from Portobello Road, London

Happy Monday Dahhlings, well believe it or not this is Thanksgiving week! Where did the time go? A moment ago we were simmering to a boil in 100 degree heat, now we’re staring Thanksgiving and Christmas in the face. Did this year fly by or what? As you’re well aware, this is the official start of the holiday shopping season. What are you treating yourself to?
This brings me to the legendary partnership between Target and Neiman Marcus, which starts December 1, could there not be a better pairing? Two of my favourite stores to say the very least. For me this is nothing short of BRILLIANT!
This is such a big deal that the purchase quantity is limited to 5 per item {no fighting ladies!}. With 24 of some of the most leading designers, such as: Derek Lam, Carolina Herrera, Diane von Furstenberg, Brian Attwood, Alice+Olivia, the list goes on, this is sure to be one coveted collection. {and of course they’ll show up on eBay at some astronomical prices}.
Are we going to have another Missoni for Target stampede, which crashed Target’s website for hours? Stay tuned!
For more info on this legendary collaboration click here
Happy Monday Luvvies, have a Productive, Amazing and an extra Chic Monday.

I’m coming to the end of “The 500” by Matthew Quirk. He is a relatively new author, and I’ll have to say, he really took off with this debut book. Absolutely loving it!! If you’re a fan of James Patterson {which I am}, you’ll love the pace of this thriller. Find it here at Amazon.

It’s been a long stressful week, so, I’ve decided to post some random images with lots of colour; more to cheer me up than anything else; therefore, this post is a little self-indulgent (actually a lot :-)). Here goes… The poster above is an image featured by the Urban Forms Gallery, Lodz Poland. I’d love this in my living room… Yes really!!!
I love all the colours involved with this photograph. Don’t you just love her hand jewelry? I’d love to obtain one of those for myself!!
African glam at it’s best! I want this dress! The only way to go to market!
I’m totally in love with this Zac Posen dress from his 2013 collection
I continue to get asked about this gorgeous wedding dress,which has generated some major bride envy. Australian shoe queen, Terry Biviano’s mermaid inspired wedding gown, was designed by J’Aton. http://www.jatoncouture.com/ As I’ve said before this dress is simply stunning! See blog post here
“Bayala” by Isabelle Sauvineau Now here’s colour for you. Absolutely beautiful piece of art (Copyright Isabelle Sauvineau)
Here’s a piece of art titled “Aquar’elle” by Adrien Donot, that really inspires me. I think it’s the hair, the blackness of it against the rest of her and of course the Vidal Sassoon inspired bob. (Copyright Adrien Donot)
Choreographer, Fatima Robinson, always colourful in her dance.
Although this is not a colour image, the grace with which this child dances in the street, absorbed in his own colourful world, in my eyes makes him graceful and majestic. He appears totally obsorbed in this one movement; the camera has caught him just right. Love this photo!
And always remember to tell yourself…
Because you are!
I hope these beautiful images brought some much-needed colour to your day; they did for me. I could have posted so much more, but this post would have gone on forever; maybe I’ll post more over the weekend. I’d love to wish you an Amazing and Inspiring weekend.

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.

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.

I’m just loving the beautiful red shoes Giuseppe Zanotti has just released. These beauties are a recreation of the red mules, the iconic actress, Katherine Hepburn, wore in the classic movie, Summertime, which was released in 1955 {I love black and white/old movies, the clothes, the style!}.
This beautiful recreation in suede with gold piping, studded with red crystals will truly make you the belle of the ball, this upcoming holiday season.
Find them here at Shoescribe.com

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
