As a British National residing in the U.S. I am unable to vote. I pay taxes but can’t vote, something I’ve never understood, but I digress. As a U.S. Citizen, whether naturalized or born here, PLEASE exercise your right to vote today. IT’S IMPORTANT!!! I know who I’d vote for if I were able to, but since this is not a political blog, I have no interest in debating the issue.
I can’t stress enough how important it is that you do your part today, because whomever your guy may be; if you don’t vote, don’t complain that he didn’t win; your vote could have made the difference.
Have yourselves a fabulous Election day!
Voting never goes out of style!

“An extra yawn one morning in the springtime, an extra snooze one night in the autumn is all that we ask in return for dazzling gifts. We borrow an hour one night in April; we pay it back with golden interest five months later.”
—Winston Churchill
Well Daahlings, the winter months are officially here in the United States, and the clocks have gone backwards. There are a few exceptions; Hawaii, Arizona, Puerto Rico and the U.S. Virgin Islands don’t follow Daylight Saving Time {I think they know something we don’t!}. I was up bright and early with the birds this morning feeling quite refreshed; but I promise by Tuesday, I’ll be begging for the hour we lost.
Maylana’s Closet would love to wish you an amazing week; I hope it’s Productive, Exciting and full of Love, Light and Passion.

I’m really not into the Halloween shenanigans, but I couldn’t resist posting Countess Dracula Barbie, created and designed by Mr. Bob Mackie. Barbie, who is 53 years young is looking rather vampish in one of his spectacular creations. This was a limited edition doll created last year, which is apparently no longer available, except at exorbitant prices on eBay, and other collector websites. For those of you who love this sort of thing… Enjoy!

Good morning Dahhlings! Well Ms. Sandy came through and did her best, leaving destruction in her wake. She even showed off for me by blowing out the back windows of my home; but I still feel blessed, because a lot of people had much worse damage and, unfortunately, according to news reports, 17 people lost their lives. I’m thankful for being able to see another day!
I decided to post something quirky and chic instead of a depressing photo of what Sandy accomplished; you’ll see enough of that on the news. I hope all my followers and everyone else is safe out there, and stay home if you can, because there is still a lot more cleaning up to do. I’ll be spending most of my day creating blog posts and adding to the Maylana’s Closet accessories and vintage collection.
Look out for a future blog post on my review of a private screening of a wonderful independent movie, titled “A Coward’s Dream“, which I attended on Saturday; I even walked the purple carpet!
Have yourselves a Fabulous, Safe and Amazing day!

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!

This quote fittingly describes the woman I am today! I truly do find delight in anything ridiculous. You must be able to have a good laugh at yourself and at life, and shout out loud… Who cares! Once you let go of all the nonsense, life becomes much more Enlightening, Free, Exhilarating, and Super Extraordinary. Get yourself a Lively and Playful disposition TODAY!
As my sister (my staunchest supporter) recently told me “Twinkle Twinkle You’re A Star” That also means YOU!
Here’s a cupcake for you!
Happy Wednesday Dahhlings

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.

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

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?
As a British National residing in the U.S. I am unable to vote. I pay taxes but can’t vote, something I’ve never understood, but I digress. As a U.S. Citizen, whether naturalized or born here, PLEASE exercise your right to vote today. IT’S IMPORTANT!!!
