Fridays are "My time".................

Most of you who know me, know I work as a Dental Hygienist. I  love my work and have been doing it for 13 years. Being a Doctor, Dentist, Hygienist, Nurse....etc is sort of the career path most everyone in my family chooses.  Dentistry allows me to have a successful career working 4 days a week, which frees up Fridays to work on my passion and new business.  My mother is my "go to" to bounce my own creative ideas off of and get her input.  She always has a project going and is always making new window treatments, rearranging furniture, or adding some flair to different parts of the house.She is my business partner in this handbag adventure and is helping me with the designs and samples.  Mom is the seamstress in the family and helping me polish up my sewing skills. We are both perfectionists, so we keep tweaking the samples. They are coming along and we are now anticipating the new launch to be done approximately January 2012. It will be a Spring Collection.......still clutches and shoulder bags and of course a few surprises,



These are a few handbags I ran across today................



        Marc Jacobs 'Crosby Thompson' Top Handle Satchel


            Sling with Double Chain Rebecca Minkoff

     Lola Bag...............Francesca Collections

Classy and Fabulous.................................

I love, love wearing a statement necklace.  Wearing a statement necklace with monochromatic hues with the rest of your look, unleashes a very polished look. It also draws attention upwards towards the face and eyes.  It also can help create balance with your figure. My favorite monochromatic looks are black and camel.  According to Ralph Lauren, black enamel jewelry,all camel colored outfits with glossy black shoes evoke "international glamour".

 

Love the above jewelry all White House Black Market. One of my all time favorite stores.


                            

Pair the jewelry with the "Vasa Wave" dress from Nordstrom and the Vince Camato Pump.




As I am sewing my samples, I am having fun fashion blogging.  It is fun to visit all the sites and piece them together. Enjoy!

A girl should be two things : Classy and Fabulous.~ Coco Chanel

Style is forever...........................

When you think of classic and timeless styles, which designer automatically comes to mind? To me........ Coco Chanel.  

Coco brought us the "little black dress", replaced the corset with comfort, and introduced women's trousers and the cardigan jacket.  She introduced timeless classic styles which continue to evolve with each generation.  Fragrances like Coco Chanel Mademoiselle ( my all time favorite!!!) and Chanel No.5.  

                                                       

"Where should one use perfume?" a young woman asked. "Wherever one wants to be kissed."~  Coco Chanel
