Happy Monday Luvvies! Isn’t time flying! Already it’s the first week of May; very soon, we’re going to blink and it’ll be Memorial weekend, are you ready? It’s the Spring bank holiday in the UK, so the family back home have the day off {lucky them!}. I hope you had a fabulous weekend.
My weekend was spent donating clothing and thrifting. It was time to clean out my closets, and get rid of things I know I’ll never ever wear again; remember one woman’s cast offs is another women’s treasure. It takes me a really long time to donate my clothes, because I’ve donated items in the past, and then a year later, gone to look for that particular item to style it a certain way, because I was inspired by something I saw in a magazine, only to realize I no longer have it! I did pick up a few goodies, of which, I did not have time to take photos of; I’ll try to post something for you soon. I’m truly addicted to vintage shopping, at least I know, no one else will be wearing what I’ve bought!♥
Wishing you a fantastic week, see you soon!
And remember…

RiRi Woo, the MAC lipstick shade created in collaboration with Rihanna, sold out online in three hours {is that a first?}. I love red lipsticks, and I must say, this is a truly gorgeous deep red. My favourite MAC lipstick is actually called ” MAC Red”; this new red, could become a favourite of mine from the MAC cosmetics range. Apparently, there’s a long wait list; in the meantime my Tom Ford Cherry Lush will just have to do!

Hi darlings, it’s an absolutely beautiful day, with an amazingly blue sky, and not a cloud to be found. After 3 days of dark heavy clouds and the pitter patter of rain, it was a relief to wake up this morning, to see sunlight streaming through my living room. I have a small crystal ball hanging in the window, so I was welcomed to a glorious rainbow spectrum, swirling around the room… Lovely!
The photo above, of the Zara shoes, I mentioned in last week’s post, “Zara Spring Things” was taken by the lovely Evy, who is one of my favourite Instagram friends, and also a very new blogger over at FashionistaOver40. Evy has the most amazing and elegant style, with a fashion stylist eye for detail, and is also a true shopaholic like myself. Please take some time to stop by her blog, and show her some blogger love.
We’re half way to the weekend, and the weather is supposed to hold up between now and then, we’ll see! Wishing you the most Fabulous Wednesday.

Happy Monday Luvvies! After a glorious sun filled Saturday, we steadily went down hill from there. Today is cloudy and rainy, but nevertheless, it’s an amazing Monday. My sister scored this gorgeous Asian inspired jacket at TopShop last week. Nothing beats the original TopShop flagship store in Oxford Street, London.
I remember going to TopShop as a teenager many moons ago, using my well-earned pocket-money to buy the latest trends. Even now, TopShop is always on my radar when I go back home to London, because I’m sure to find a few pieces of unusual clothing/accessories to bring back. What I love about TopShop is they do not repeat anything, once it’s gone, it’s gone!
I’ve visited TopShop in NYC , but in my opinion, they’ve been unable to replicate the vibe of the Oxford Street store. Beautiful clothes though.
I’d love to wish you the most Fabulous and Productive week, see you soon♥

These incredible shoes from Brazilian designer Andreia Chaves, are handmade to order, taking approximately 4-6 weeks for delivery. With a 5.5″ heel and 3/4″ platform, these sky-high heels are a cross between fashion and mathematical engineering. With a whopping price tag of $2,795.95, it’ll be interesting to see which actress/singer/reality show person, will be seen wearing them first.
What are your thoughts about them?
Available exclusively at Solestruck

Happy Wednesday Darlings, here are a few of my favourite things from Zara. I’m totally in love with this fuchsia pink suit, talk about making a statement when you walk into a room. Yes, all eyes will be on you!
Loving this double-breasted waistcoat, I love the extended cut of the armhole, there’s so much you could do with this; dress it up or down, a classic go to item.
Looking for that easy to wear, comfy weekend dress? well here it is! Also comes in Coral and Makeup (nude). As I’ve said before, yellow truly is the colour of the season!
Cocktails anyone? Be the belle of cocktail hour in this little yellow number.
Add a pair of silver strappy shoes to any of these ensembles, a must have in any Stylista’s wardrobe.
all items available now, at Zara
Well we’re nearly half way to the weekend, I hope you’re having an amazing week so far. We’re supposed to hit 75 degrees in DC today, so I’m going to try to enjoy the sunshine, while I can, because who knows when it will disappear again!

It’s been a busy day, so today’s post is going to be short and sweet. Aren’t the Jimmy Choo shoes above just simply gorgeous!! Spring has truly sprung with these beauties. Also the photography is whimsical and beautiful; I imagine an updated and rather stylish Alice falling down the rabbit hole in “Alice’s Adventures In Wonderland“.
I’m also in love with the silver Tom Ford Sandals below, they’ll be added to the “Maylana’s Dream List“, which I haven’t created in quite some time. Look out for new dream list items soon.
I’m on a major health kick right now, and I wanted to share this refreshing detox beverage, which I like to drink often. It’s very simple, lemons, cucumbers and mint! Click on the image to be taken to the lovely “The Denver Housewife” blog; who has more recipe details, and who posted this beautiful bottle on Pinterest.
I want to wish you a Fabulous Friday and a Fantastic and Inspired weekend.

Yellow is the colour of the season. I love love, this very lady like Valentino suit. Let’s hope Zara recreates a perfect reproduction very soon!♥

Hello Darlings! I hope you all had a fabulous weekend as I did. You’ll be happy to know that the Maylana’s Closet Blog Shop is finally open! Right now the bangles shown above from my “Touch of India Collection” are available for purchase; there are also a pair of exquisite earrings {seen in 3rd pic below, 5 sets available) also for purchase. There will be more eclectic and beautiful items coming to the Blog Shop very soon. Click on the link above, and let me know what you think. Please bear in mind, it’s still a work in progress.
Part of my weekend was spent pampering myself, so I decided to give myself a pedicure. Color used was Estee Lauder Béte Noire ,{dark purple} with Sally Hansen Diamond Flash Top coat. {Sandals are by Zara, circa 2009} Ladies, pampering yourselves on a regular basis, is conducive to your well-being, it’s a must!♥
I plan to invest in a tripod very soon, so that I can start taking full length self portraits with my Canon T3i; I realize fully now, that as a blogger, a tripod is your best friend! In the meantime my trusty iPhone is going to have to do. Here’s a peek of what I’m wearing today.
On Saturday I decided to represent my 1st adopted home, New York!!! It was where I lived, my first 15 years in the U.S. I truly miss living there, there is nothing else like NYC! {click on the link, to hear my favourite New York song}. So with a pair of scissors, I slashed the neck of this tee-shirt, and I was on my way; having my own personal New York minute. I hope to take a trip there soon, great blogging material there.
I did not get a chance to participate in the Cherry Blossom Festival on Saturday {I found 1000 other things I needed to do}, but I’m still hoping to bring you some gorgeous photos at a later date.
To round things out, I found this quote on Pinterest and simply love it…
Have yourselves the most fabulous Monday; make sure that YOU make it Amazing!

While going through past posts, I decided today would be archive day. Here is a post which was originally published in March of 2012 {with minor formatting changes}. When I look back on my past posts, I see how far I’ve come with my writing, and if I do say so, I’m quite proud of myself 🙂 Don’t you feel the same about your own writing?
If I’m in the mood, I might post another from the archives… So stay tuned! Happy Thursday Darlings, we’re nearly there.♥
I’ve decided upon Bvlgari Mon Jasmine Noir. This is truly a beautiful fragrance which is already a classic for me. This is the lighter version to the much heavier and in my opinion pungent Jasmine Noir, which reminds me too much of Opium by Yves Saint Laurent {remember that one ladies?}.
I’ve been a fan of Bvlgari fragrances for some time, especially the Bvlgari Rose Essentielle. Mon Jasmine Noir has top notes of golden citron and floral lily of the valley with of course the elegant Jasmine. Sprayed lightly (very important, you don’t want everyone in the elevator to pass out!) you can have yourself a daily “Breakfast at Tiffany’s” moment. Treat yourself! Available at Nordstrom, Neiman Marcus, and Saks.
