Friday Ramblings…

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 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
The Many Colours Of Tom Ford…
In Daily Musings, Object's of Desire on November 26, 2012 at 2:53 pm
I haven’t written an Objects Of Desire post in a little while, but here’s one that caught my attention a few days ago. Mr. Tom Ford has released a complete set of his beautiful nail lacquers exclusively for Neiman Marcus priced at $480.00!
This exclusive 16 colour set has every possible shade you would ever need to carry your chic wardrobe from now to next spring/summer to enhance your chic wardrobe. Tom Ford nail lacquers retail for approximately $30 dollars each; why would you buy a $30 nail lacquer? Because you’re absolutely worth it! Again this is an Object of Desire, so maybe Santa will leave this under the tree for you, if you’ve been good this year.
Visit Neiman Marcus here
Well today is back to work Monday, after our long 4 day weekend. This is the real countdown to Christmas; how is your gift buying going? Have you started? Are you going to wait until christmas eve; or are you just buying a little something for you?
Have yourselves a Positive, Productive and Exhilarating week!
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
Simply Beautiful!!!

I thought this was such a stunning photograph, I had to post it!
I hope your Monday has been Inspiring, Productive and that whatever you’re doing, you’re doing it with Passion
And remember…
True beauty is skin deep. Not many people will have the patience or the capacity to see it in you.
Treasure the ones that see your beauty and be patient with the ones that don’t.
TGIF… Really!!!

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.
Love ~ Light ~ Passion
