Find Fall Fashions in Your Closet

One of my Favorite on-line stores is BostonProper.com. Great well-made clothes at even better prices.
I love that they cater to the young as well as the more mature woman.
I was thumbing thru their latest catalog and came up on this adorable outfit.

Cute, right?

I had to have it. 

I am the epitomy of an impulse shopper and zipped off an order for the Bodysuit and Skirt. The shoes/booties were cute but I felt too young for me. *sigh*

I wore this hot little number and felt like a million in it. 

Life got busy and I dropped the laundry ball and failed to get it to the cleaners. Friends wanted to go to lunch and shopping and I wanted to wear it but ... Nope, it was as dirty as

my husbands sordid dating past (We won't go there today to keep this post Rated PG)

Then, it hit me... I had a similar skirt and identical blouse and could re-vamp the entire outfit, go to lunch and be CLEAN vs SMELLY and still look stylish! 

Here it is with a Chanel Mini paired with a Blouse from The Limited I picked up at the mall for $19.00.

The Boston Proper Skirt - $59.00

Boston Proper Blouse - $69.00

I really like this outfit and like the price even more!

Happy Shopping.

Chanel Suit/ Spring

This is a Chanel suit from the 2009 Spring/Summer Collection. It was an impulse buy that I didn't regret later. I LOVE this suit. It is so classy and versatile.
It's made of a stiff but sheer chiffon covered in Chanel's signature Cameillas. I just love those beautiful white flowers. The skirt is fully lined. The jacket has an asymmetrical zipper up the front and also on the sleeves.
Clear vinyl under the collar and the epaulets on the shoulders with  cute Camellia buttons to hold it all together.Chanel always applies a gold or silver chain into the hem of the suit jackets to hold them close to the body and gives you that polished put-together look.
No matter where you bought a Chanel~ when you bought a Chanel~ Your Chanel will never go out of style. The classic lines and superior quality will last forever.  There is nothing sexy or revealing about a Chanel. No slits in the skirts, no low-cut bodices...  Only Elegance.

 quotable quote~

"Dress shabbily and they remember the dress; dress impeccably and they remember the woman." 
~ Coco Chanel

Here I put the suit with a pair of Leather Chanel gloves to really amp up the classic look.

Here it is on Princess Sirivannavari Nariratana of Thailand

Designer Sunglasses~ Chanel & Bvlgari

I am writing this blog sitting in Miami International Airport waiting for my return flight back to Indiana.
People Watching is an art-form down here!
So many interesting people. So many eclectic styles and so many different cultures of people. One thing is constant... Everyone in the Sunny South wears their Sunglasses as #1) A necessity against the harsh rays of the sun. #2) As an Accessory.
Me, being the shallow and superficial person that I am, tend to go more for #2) when shopping for the perfect Sunglasses to frame my face and protect my eyes. Hey! We shop extensively for the perfect shoes, handbag, makeup, etc. Why not add sunglasses to that list of "Must Haves?"
While on a layover in New York City, I stumbled upon my now favorite brand, Bvlgari's quite by accident. I am SOLD on them.
Bvlgari was the very first Designer EVER! Starting in the 1800's Bvlgari designs began in Rome and today are designers of Fashion, Sunglasses, Jewelry, & Watches of the highest quality. I just like their beautiful good looks and sleek lines.

Here are a few that I own...
These are Brown Gradient with Crystals.

My Absolute Favorites are the same but different....
In Black with Crystals

White with Crystals. Lighter Lenses

Heavy Black Frames with LOADS of Fancy Crystals

And then of course... Chanel. How can any Girl resist Chanel?

Watch for my YouTube video and a GIVEAWAY of one of these Fabulous pairs of Designer Sunglasses! (When I get home that is)
Blue Skies Everyone!
