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!♥

On the way to Frozen-Yo, I saw this beauty parked outside. I’d love to take a spin, wearing a gorgeous Hermes scarf, worn exactly like the picture below; blowing elegantly in the breeze. Simply the perfect car {and perfect colour} for this gorgeous weather we’re having. Thank goodness, it’s a little cooler today at 85 degrees {we reached a whopping 91 yesterday}.♥

Yesterday, I posted a couple of pieces, I found at my favourite vintage store; I forgot to post this gorgeous black slip and peach coloured ballerina style nightgown, that I thought you’d love to see. I’m going to try the peach gown with a knee-length tank dress, belt it and maybe an additional vintage petticoat underneath to see how that works. I’ll let you know 🙂
A young lady I met, while shopping, picked up these beauties for $5!!
It’s another gorgeous day, a little chilly, but I’ll take it, because the sun is shining very brightly!

Hello fabulous people. This morning truly looked like spring had finally sprung! After a gorgeous Saturday, a grey and dreary Sunday, today truly is starting out to be absolutely gorgeous. Can we finally exhale our collective breaths that spring has arrived?
I had a terrific weekend, I went scouting for vintage finds, at one of my favourite spots in Maryland, and came across a few goodies. I found this gorgeous brand new sequined French Connection dress, with tags, which retailed last season for $248, selling for under $100,!!! Alas, it was not in the Maylana’s Closet budget!
I also found this gorgeous Liz Claiborne ankle length coat dress for under $5!! I have not been a fan of Liz Claiborne for a number of years now, but this dress was too fantastic to resist. I’m going to wear this unbuttoned up to the thigh with shorts underneath, cinched at the waist with ankle strap flats or high heels depending on my mood, and then paired with a colourful clutch. Very 50’s.
Those of you who follow my blog, know I love Instagram {as well as Pinterest!}; here are some of my weekend images. If you’d like to follow me on IG, you can find me @Maylana.

While going through my Instagram feed, I discovered the lovely boutique Shoxie! When I saw this wrap maxi dress I was completely bowled over. At $125.00, I think it’s a steal in order to look gorgeous, for the upcoming summer affairs, where you want to look simple, yet elegant, and very nicely put together, without too much fuss. I’ve got my eye on either of the black and white striped dresses myself, or maybe the coral… decisions, decisions.
How would I wear? Sky high wedges and a neon clutch (post coming soon); topped off with my Tom Ford red lipstick in Cherry Lush, and I’m good to go 🙂
Make your way to their lovely online boutique here or click on the dresses above to be taken right to them!

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.

Even with the excitement of my impending departure to London, I am crocheting my little heart out. It seems my customers (new and old) have realized I’m going away for a little while, and I’m receiving orders for my crochet hats left and right!. I’m always on the look out for unusual crochet hooks and found the ones below on a site called Simply Art. The hooks above are hand carved in India; I think they’re simply gorgeous! I’ll be ordering a set when I return.
I’ve completed quite a few orders today and I’m pooped!

Hi Dahhlings! It truly has been a very busy last few days, so busy, that I never got a chance to write my last-minute shopping guide among other blog projects. The collage above should explain why I’ve been MIA! It’s been a pleasant problem to have, I truly enjoy creating elegant items for my customers, and this time of year is especially busy.
I hope you’ve gotten all of your gifts, decorations, delicious food and all the other important goodies for the big day. 2 days to go!!!
If you haven’t gotten your gifts yet {tommorow is Christmas Eve!} I suggest you take yourselves to the nearest supermarket or drug store, and buy some of those well-known gift cards! Itunes, Nordstrom, Pottery Barn, anyone?

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!
