Let’s Dance To A New Week…
In Daily Musings on December 3, 2012 at 9:35 am
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
My Target + Neiman Marcus Moment…
In Daily Musings, New Loves! on December 1, 2012 at 7:53 am
Well Dahhlings, it’s finally here! The legendary partnership between Target and Neiman Marcus. What do I think? Well I logged on at 6:30 a.m. this morning looking to be completely wowed and I WASN’T. Everything just looked a little blah and inexpensive, I was going to use the word cheap, but decided to be nice! Now before you start screaming, remember this is just my personal opinion. Yes I know it’s Target (which I love, who doesn’t?), but the collab between them and Liberty of London is still my overall favourite, and nothing has really compared, except the Missoni duvet set, sheets and shower curtain {which I sadly didn’t get}.
The Target website seemed pretty limited, so I’m sure there is so much more in the stores. I did see some nice things in the lookbook which did not appear online, so again maybe you just have to go to the store.
The only items which caught my eye, were the Carolina Herrera stationary set, the Brian Atwood leather gloves and the Alice + Olivia bike at $499. Also, I really liked the Tracy Reese blouse and ceramic plates. I did order the stationary set for myself and my sister because we both love paper {I still might order the Tracy Reese plates}. I thought about the Brian Atwood gloves long and hard, but again, I just wasn’t moved by them. If they’re still around and I see them in person (which I doubt), and the quality is nice, I might cave in. If you find items you love in the collection, or just your thoughts about it, let me know. Visit www.target.com
Happy shopping!
Have yourselves a Glorious and Inspired weekend
Shop Til You Drop & Small Business Saturday…
In Daily Musings on November 23, 2012 at 6:26 pm
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

Monday’s Tête-à-Tête, Pinterest & Other Musings…
In Daily Musings on October 22, 2012 at 12:12 pm
Happy Monday Sweethearts! How was your weekend? Mine was restful, the weather was gorgeous, and honestly I did not accomplish everything I wanted, but I relaxed, got another cowl started, and had a wonderful and creative exchange of ideas with my sister, as to how we want to expand our entrepreneurial endeavours.
I did not go to the Women Who Rock exhibit at the National Women In The Arts Museum as I mentioned in Friday’s post, but I promise, I will be stopping by soon; so that I can tell you all about it {I’ve got until Jan 6! :-)}
A little artistic amusement for you!
And lastly, I found these gorgeous yellow suede wedges on Pinterest, they have absolutely nothing to do with anything, but I felt they would brighten your Monday {they’ll certainly brighten mine}; plus I LOVE THEM!! I hope you’ll check out my Pinterest boards, {there are 35 and counting!}. If you’re a Pinterest addict like I am; follow me, let me know, and I’ll follow you; I’d love to see what you’re up to. Creativity is what life is all about!! Click here to see boards
Wishing you a Fantastic and Productive Monday

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.

Another Chic Monday…
In Daily Musings on October 15, 2012 at 1:28 pm
I had a really productive weekend; I photographed and uploaded some new inventory to my Etsy store, drafted a few potential blog posts and was all around very productive. Having your own business, truly is a beautiful thing; lots of hard work, but totally worth it. Stay tuned to the beautiful crochet cowls coming from Maylana’s Closet and the gorgeous knits coming from Sassy Knits; my big sister’s entrepreneurial venture in London.
Speaking of big sisters, here she is being her usual fabulous and gorgeous self; seen here with the extremely talented Omar at his concert in London on Saturday might; plus another pic with Jade {Baby Spice’s hubby}. I miss my big sis and hope to see her soon. Love you Al!! Smooches!
P.S. In case you’re wondering the beautiful clutch bag above is by Miu Miu.
Here’s a little Omar for you ~ One of my favourites, There’s Nothing Like This
Wishing you a Beautiful, Productive and Amazing week!

Giuseppe Zanotti’s Special Edition…
In Daily Musings, New Loves! on October 11, 2012 at 4:23 pm
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

Betsy Johnson’s Zig Zag Heels…
In Daily Musings, New Loves! on October 1, 2012 at 2:30 pm
So much has happened since my last post a week ago! Fall arrived, new contract keeping me busy, attended a very elegant fashion affair; and now I’m nursing a horrible head cold. So here’s a quick post for you, until I’m feeling better.
I found these colourful Missoni inspired shoes by Betsy Johnson and thought they were worth posting. Click here to purchase
I’d wear these beauties with a black menswear inspired pants suit accessorized with a rose gold clutch in order for the shoe to make it’s own “quiet” statement.
See you soon Dahhlings!
