Notes. Quote of The Day

"Fires can't be made with dead embers, nor can enthusiasm be stirred by spiritless men. Enthusiasm in our daily work lightens effort and turns even labor into pleasant tasks."
- James Baldwin

Affordable Style. Nine West Fall 2010

Nine West Fall 2010 Preview





Affordable looks for the style conscious should always be on the radar. If you can save some cash and still look great - that's the best. Nine West always has really good 'Get The Look For Less' options. Here are a few pieces in line with the 'military' inspired trend for fall, which I might add; the look never seems to completely go away. I've never been a huge camouflage fan, but these pieces really work.

Fall Fashion 2010. Elizabeth & James
























Feathers are another trend for fall, and I like the way they are worn here. Model Chrishnell Stubbs is featured wearing Elizabeth & James for Neiman Marcus in the Alita Ruched Floral Dress and Feathered James Blazer; nice.

In My Beauty Bag. Lemon and Rose Hand Cream

















I just bought this Carol's daughter lemon and rose hand cream a few days ago before a business trip. It smells delicious and makes my hands feel extremely soft without leaving a greasy residue; simply divine.

Beauty.























I've always found a beautifully done head wrap really chic, especially when you add bold jewelry.
