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!

Happy Monday Luvvies, have a Productive, Amazing and an extra Chic Monday.

One of my favourite liqueurs is Patrón XO Cafe. This super smooth coffee liqueur which is a blend of Arabica coffee and premium Patrón Silver tequila, is one of the nicest drinks to have.
Great on its own; or try, half a cup Patron XO Cafe, a couple of tablespoons of Carnation milk with a few cubes of ice in a blender, rotated on high, will cause you to have created one creamy and potent cocktail. Try it in your coffee one Sunday morning, you’ll never look at coffee the same way again!
Happy Wednesday!

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.

While perusing the ever so addictive Pinterest, I came across this gorgeous painted pumpkin, which was featured in the October issue of Chatelaine Magazine.
It was the vibrant colours which really caught my eye. It never once occurred to me to hollow out a pumpkin, then paint it and fill it with flowers. The good thing is, you don’t even have to hollow out {less work!}, you can just paint as is and viola, a beautiful piece of art created by you!
Thanks to Chatelaine Magazine, this is a DIY project I will try in the near future. Get yourselves some sample size paints at Home Depot or Lowes and paint away to your heart’s content. Who would have thought!! Off to the supermarket I go!

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.

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?
