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.

It is truly a chilly day here in Washington, DC, but the sun is shining brightly, and all is right with the world. I hope you’re having an amazing day and that your day is being productive and successful. My posts have been a little sparse lately because I’ve got so much on my plate, but I promise to start getting my thrice weekly posts back on track.

Speaking of chilly weather, I’m in love with these Calvin Klein boots from his A/W 2013 collection. These are the boots to wear when you’re not in the mood for your 4″ wonders, and need to move about town quickly! I love the square-toed platform and 2″ stacked heel. These are a pair to watch.
Well Dahhlings, we’re half way through this short week, be good to yourselves and stay inspired. Here’s a quote for your day, “To live a creative life, we must lose our fear of being wrong” ~ Joseph Chilton Pearce. I’ll see you soon.

Do you sometimes wish you could clone yourself? Between filling orders, doing taxes, taking photos, uploading photos {and then of course my camera battery died and I didn’t charge the back up!) plus trying to write a draft on my trip to London for this blog, there is just not enough time in the day!
The image above is one of the many photos I’ve taken today, for the Maylana’s Closet Boutique. Being an entrepreneur is extremely rewarding, but there are times when we just need to grow an extra pair of hands.
Excuse me while I try to clone myself! 🙂

Happy Wednesday Dahhlings. Only 6 shopping days to go until Christmas, have you finished or even started your holiday gift buying?
I’ve been busy, busy, busy creating and selling my crochet hats, business has been good, and I’m extremely thankful to all my lovely customers. Contact me at lana@maylana.com for more details.

Within the next day or so, I’m hoping to bring you my personalized and extremely last-minute gift buying guide, for those of you who are still at a lost of what to give {you’re cutting it close here :-)}.
And remember to always tell yourself…

It’s Sunday, and its been a really good day both professionally and personally. I’ve accomplished quite a lot today! I hope your Sunday has been as wonderful as mine. I’ve managed to complete 4 of my infamous crochet flower hats, made some sales, taken new photos for my Etsy store; and with my sister, we’ve managed to dream up even more fabulous ideas for our business. It’s great when you have a business partner, who’s on the same page as you, and then constantly brings added fabulousness and creativity every time! Love you SIS!

The hat above {originally called the Penelope hat}, is a staple of the Maylana’s Closet collection. The quote above, is quite fitting, because creating these hats is definitely one of the things my future self, will thank me for! In a future post I’ll tell you how the Maylana’s Closet crochet hats got started, it’s a story near and dear to me… Stay tuned!! If you’d like more information regarding hats from the Maylana’s Closet Collection please email me at lana@maylana.com

Here’s a glimpse of a beautiful item that’s going to hit the Etsy store this week, it’s GORGEOUS!!
Wishing you a Glorious, Inspiring and Amazing week!

Well Dahhlings. here we are, yet another Monday. December seems to be speeding by; this coming Sunday will be the 15th, meaning we will already be half way though!!! How’s your holiday shopping going?
Wow… I’m amazed at how fast, time is speeding by. Before you know it we will be drinking champagne {or sparkling wine} celebrating the new year.
I’m actually looking forward to 2013, lots of exciting things happening for myself and Maylana’s Closet. I’ll be celebrating the first birthday of my blog on January 5th {look out for celebration posts}, I’ll be going home to London to celebrate an important milestone birthday {watch out for fabulous blog posts live and direct from my hometown, London}, plus my sister and I will be nurturing and growing the vision we have for our business with unlimited passion! We’re going to the next level!!
Why did I post the dress above? I thought it was simply gorgeous. One of my Facebook associates thought it was just my style and he was absolutely right. I love everything about this dress, and with my short hair, it’s absolutely perfect. I wish I knew who it was by, because it would make a lovely birthday dress.
Start your week with a bright light, nothing but JOY will shine on you. Wishing you a Positive, Inspiring and Beautiful week!
And remember to…
Create powerful thoughts of happiness and your body and mind will always remain happy.
Love, Light & Passion

I love love this Chanel floral sweater dress. I’m not sure if it’s from last season or this one {if you find out, please let me know}, but it’s simply gorgeous!!! This dress truly cheered me up today; Chanel always does 😉
Warning! This post will be a mish mash of thoughts, images and inspiration.
Thought For The Day ~ It’s been a tough long week, decisions had to be made in order for peace of mind to be had. Always remember to never ever sell yourself short. There is not enough money on earth for you to sacrifice your self-respect. Always go with what you are truly feeling. Short changing yourself pays you nothing!

Working my fingers to complete hats, cowls and scarves… Stay tuned.

I posted this image, not because of the model {though she is attractive}, but to me it’s a perfect black and white photograph. Add a Burberry trench, and a Birkin bag… Classic! For me this photo screams Chic!

I found this lovely piece of art by Donald Brun on my Tumblr blog ~ See what inspires me ‘here’
Totally in love with this Marc Jacobs Camille Satchel, which appears to be sold out everywhere, even eBay!

Love this quote, it’s always a good idea!
Maylana’s Closet wishes you a Fabulous, Inspiring, and Self Loving Weekend!
And remember…

Let’s dance because this is a brand new week; new beginnings, new experiences! After an insanely crazy, stressful and mind-blowing week last week, I’m ready to start this week off on a beautiful high and positive note.
I’m really excited about this week, my sister who is in charge of inventory, and who has been procuring some beautiful items in London for the Maylana’s Closet boutique, sent over some gorgeous pieces, which will be appearing in the Blog Shop and on www.etsy.com/shop/maylanascloset. I am looking forward to showing you what she’s found. I will be spending most of today photographing and getting ready to upload, so stay tuned.
Speaking of the Blog Shop, I am finally going to open the boutique, which has been on hold for months; watch out for its grand opening of pre-loved, new and vintage items. All transactions will be handled securely through PayPal.
To get our day started, here’s one of my favourite songs by David Bowie Let’s Dance to get you in the Monday mood.
It’s December 3, which means we are in full-blown holiday shopping mode, exactly 22 days to go!! Over the coming weeks, I’ll be posting potential gift ideas, from inexpensive to super extravagant {“Maylana’s Dream List“} What’s on your wish list for the holidays?

Yes I am!!
Wishing you a Wonderful, Inspiring and Joyful week… Go for yours!!!
Love, Light & Passion
