a man i once knew…

he was charming. he was a delicate. he was poised. not to say that he isn’t still all of these things, but i haven’t seen this fella in quite a while, so for now i can only wonder and hope that his charm hasn’t gotten soiled…

meeting others is my forte. i absolutely LOVE to greet the unsuspected. to catch another out of a whim is so invigorating! the spontaneous eye contact, “i will capture your attention if you let me” i tend to think to myself…. hehe. so i did. i spoke to him. we connected immediately. i had felt as though i had known him forever, maybe from a past-life?

we talked for hours, lying on the warm sandy beaches, basking away as others around us threw vollyballs and laughed with their acquaintances.

the distance that separates us will not separate the influences we had on each other and will continue to have with each other : ) he taught me to me direct with my words. i taught him to be a little more confident within his soul and his positive decision making. whatever the traits we absorbed from one another…i am truly blessed to have met such a fine looking fella… fascinated forever. stay stylish my friend.

men to be fascinated over…

pocket square lovin’

sunglasses to die for!

sheen…just look at that sheen!

color, anyone?! who doesn’t adore this! my favorite, you ask: mr. far right! YELLOW + NAVY + STRIPES = N a U t I c A l

take some time to bask in elegance. take some time to soak in one another and be inspired by those that you may spontaneously meet. heck, talk to a stranger TODAY!

pretty ricky!

RICKY LAUREN

she is not only the lovely wife of mr. ralph lauren himself, but as you all know…behind every brilliant and talented man, there is a wonderfully passionately minded woman holding him together : )

ricky lauren most recently came out with her latest book and had QUITE the soiree in New York. sharing a moment with family and friends to bask in her elegance and grace. this wildly talented woman inspires me so. she has the mind and power of an ox, but her poise is simply indescribable! make sure you snatch her latest book to hit the streets – The Hamptons: Food, Family and History.

oh how i covet this love.

love yourtrue being. love your history. love your family. love your food.

behold the ‘evil eye’…

sometimes we cannot always verbally express ourselves in particular public situations in order to protect ourselves from “evil spirits” beckoning themselves in to our auras… there is a little helper i have in mind. meet my little friend:the evil eye!

The Evil Eye is used to guard against malevolence or a wish for bad luck that can be transferred through the eyes (“The Look”; giving someone the evil eye) of someone harboring these inner thoughts or feelings. The Evil Eye is believed to have the power to reflect (absorb or ward off) this type of negative thinking or energy and thereby protects the person or object from the possibility of misfortune.  It is believed that if your Evil Eye amulet cracks or breaks, it has done its job and should be replaced!

Sooo…why not invest in the best protection!

total talker. i mean street style stalker!

i am a true believer that what you wear…is what you generally think of yourself.

you dress for “class”. you think you are worth more than meets the eye. (hint: you should all be HERE!)

you dress for “slump”. you think that you are struggling and trying to hide your true essence. (yucky feelings here)

you dress for “him”. you are in  l o v e . (sigh, envious)

you dress for “her”. this could be for yourself (YAY!) or for competitive and confidence boosting initiatives.

are you a total talker? are you speaking your style TRUTH? or are you simply a style stalker? are you speaking through someone else’s essence and true being? mull this thought for a bit…

here’s some inspiration from the streets to take a spin about on. simply, swoooooon and move on. create your very own palette! display YOUR love for your style.

STREET STYLE STALKING

so much exuberance. excitement. exclamation.

go for yours!

a little more mmmmm BOP!

hubba hubba.

hanson style.

i recently saw a photo of a man, i said to myself, “who on EARTH?!”

it was him…the little boy i once jammed (and i “jammed” hard) to all day, every day. he was part of that boy band we call: Hanson

WOW, it’s more like “HANDSOME!” i mean seeing him, now it like literal, “hubba hubba” action.

okay, fellas, don’t tease me, i know and do indeed recall when he used to look like a teenaged girl, but trust me his style has blossomed!

TAYLOR HANSON

keep on playing, we’ll listen.

same for all of you fellas! the more you “practice” with your everyday style…the better it will sing for your presence!

we’re double cuffing it!

double trouble, baby!

you’ve heard that hanging out with “twins” is often at times much more fun, so why not take this trait straight to your accessorizing!

we’re double cuffing it all. the . way .

the bigger the better, you’ll get a bit more bang for your old buck and HEY, turn a few heads here and there!

D O U B L E  *  C U F F S

“i’ll wear my cufflinks AND my woven cuffs!”

“honey, have no fear…i’ll be daring enough to wear my double cuffs to the BEACH!”

“your reflection will be OH SO GLAMOROUS!!!” , “yours too!” (two cuffs talking, who would’ve thunk it!)

“hmmm, i wonder if i can play kickball in these cuffs, HEY you’ve got to protect your wrists, am i right?!”

“boop boop eee doop, just having a handy dandy, double cuff day…”

“you look a little hammered?”, “well, i am hammerpressed…” (silly cuffs, when will you learn…)

“ya, he passed me a note in the hallway…i was so like, ‘talk to the cuffs!’

what will yours cuffs be saying for you? so many choices, so many possibilities, the end is never near though : )

HUGE kisses and hugs.

xoxo
