Fashion Forward

For as long as I can remember, I have been interested in fashion. I get a bit giddy every time my Elle magazine comes in the mail. It's fun to flip through it and dream of buying one of everything. It is interesting how they (Marc Jacobs, Burberry etc) showcase some of the newest, cutest, stylish clothes in the adds. (ie. shoes, clothes, hand bags) They are within themselves pieces of art. I ran across this company the other day called Nadinoo. They are a clothing boutique based in London. Very feminine, whimsy, retro sheek clothing. They came up with a clever way to showcase their clothing,... by creating a lovely music video. Just Brilliant!!

Happy Valentine's Day

"Their fingers seemed to fit together in just the right way- effortlessly clasped,like perfect complements."
- Nicolas Sparks

May your Valentine's day be spent with those you love. Happy Valentine's Day!

Count Down to Valentine's Day....

I was told by my dear husband that he has a surprise up his sleeve. Of course he had to let me in on part of the secret (so that I could get a sitter for the occasion) but I only know that I need to dress nice. I love surprises! It got me thinking "what will I wear!?" A dress? Skirt? Cute sweater and black pants? It's been freezing lately (literally below zero). I am hoping it warms up by Monday. ::crossing fingers:: If it was warm out, I may be half tempted to run out and buy this dress from Anthro.I have been sooo into Yellow lately. It would be worth the hour drive (so excited that we will have one 15 mins away this summer!!!)

Wouldn't this look cute with a sweet pair of red heels and a white cardigan, red belt and flower patterned clutch? Seeing that a new outfit is out of my budget at the moment,..I may just buy a cute colorful scarf instead. While browsing through one of my favorite online store (Liberty of London) I came across these amazing videos! Thought I would share one with you. French woman have a knack for wearing scarfs. They can make any outfit look stylish! So excited to try this out this weekend. Enjoy!

Valentine Dreams

It is no secret, Valentine's Day is my most favorite holiday! There is something to say about sweet red hearts, romance and chocolate. Ooo it's just lovely. There is nothing that screams romance than Paris! I have had the privilege of visiting this city of love a few years ago, and let me say, there is something in the air. The food, music, fashion and people are all so glamourous. At this point of my life travel isn't high on the priority list, although I am looking forward to the day that I can pack a suitcase and head to Europe again. Until then, I will have to go there virtually. Wouldn't a date in Paris France be a dream? Come along with me.....

Quiet Afternoon

Spending a quiet afternoon enjoying the quiet of my home. The sun is out, and it just perfect for an afternoon of sewing. Lately there have been many projects/ideas in my head swirling around. I am feeling inspired! Hoping to finish a few sewing creations and post photos. Until then,.....
