This is my outlet to all things fashion, travel, food, and pure comfort.

Dreams are today's answers for tomorrow's questions

Sleep is important for the body. At least this is my way of assuring myself that spending $500 dollars on a down comforter is reasonable. This is how I rationalize with everything I buy. To all you sales employees: I am your best shopper! I really do beleive when I find a deal buy one item get the next half off, that I AM saving. Others would argue that I'm really just wasting my money because I didn't 'need' the first item and defianetly not the second....But I'd rather live freely and go with the flow. Or the "so called" sales that call my name as I wonder through the money-saving (blowing) mall. Well since I have already invested in a down comforter a few months ago, it is now time for a much needed upgrade on the sheets. I cant have an outstanding comforter and a childish paisely flannel looking sheets. It just doesn't combine to make the perfect sleep combination.

As I was the surfing through many websites this evening, I stubbled across some Hotel Collection Sheets that have my name written all over it. 600 Thread Count, Egyptian Cotten Deep Pocket Sheets. There is a God!



This picture does not do much justice for these colors of comfort!

I would love to have a light girl-ish pink or just a plain white as my sheet color. My bedroom is bright red and I have a plain white down comforter. I also need some accent pillows to pull the room together. Like maybe these:






I still have time to decide what happens with my much needed comfortable bed. For now I am going to sleep on the idea and get back with ya another day. : )

Sad Sad Time

It's a sad sad time right now. Haiti is in everyone's prayers. I really hope that we can provide as much food and security as possible. With the help of everyone, that could be possible.

I was reading an article today about tourism in Haiti as we speak. They are docking ships in Haiti's beaches and providing them with food and water but they tourists are still having fun and enjoying the weather not too many miles away from where a catastrophic event occurred. I agree that it is nice of  Royal Caribbean to keep providing them with money from tourism and providing food and supplies, however, this is a time for mourning and grieving and I just would not feel comfortable at port on Haiti's beach swimming while children and adults are stranded looking for food. What are your comments? Whoever you are that's reading this. : ) Don't be shy.

If you look to your left on the blog there is a button on how YOU can help Haiti. I have already donated money to them. Now I am seeking information on how I could volunteer. There was another article I was reading about all the homeless children without any parents. Just makes me so sad. Wish I could help. : (

Those affected in the Haiti Earthquake are in my prayers.

Wearing a stripe tee

I know what you are thinking....How do you wear this and look hot? I know horizontal stripes are known for having a bad reputation. But I can show you how to make a stripe tee look good casual and sexy! I rummaged through my closet today and found two striped shirts that I will use. I dont remember the last time I've had these on. Stripes are not my favorite. But, with the perfect combinations and accesories I could make it work wonders!

The first look is my casual but office classic look. I paired a long sleeve black and white sailor tee with a gray A-line skirt. A casual tan jacket, brown pumps, and jewelry make this a girly yet casual look.


A boring shirt right, not in a second. : )























Favorite Shoes











The first two are completly out of my price range but this last one I can! Love love love Christian Louboutin!

Swings both ways

And yes I am talking about that! This is my all-time favorite topic to talk about and why not let it be my first post? Picture this: "You're off to work on yet another Friday morning, counting the hours until that big dinner date. What are you going to wear to WOW them this time? I dont have time to change. I guess another shopping spree it is! Or.....

I have always had a problem with making an outfit turn from day to night. But, its actually pretty simple. Key elements to day to night outfits: show some skin (no one says a pants suit is made for everyone), wear bright accesories to give that extra splash of color, add a cardigan to outfits during working hours if skin is an issue, and always have an extra make-up bag for the on-the-go looks. Never hurts to be prepared.

This simple black dress can be paired with a red belt to add some much needed color. For work I adore cardigans or shaws but with this dress adding a a collared long-sleeve or half-sleeved shirt is also cute! I decided on a pink cardigan and red belt with pink shoes. Inspired by First Lady Michelle Obama.Check out her outfit This outfit is good for day or night!
