V&A Friday Night Out... LDN
this pic was posed by Charlotte Trendell a former Lux buyer at Selfridges , just getting into the web while acting as a stylist and personal shopper... facebook.com/CherlieTrendy>>>
Loved these girls from Spain their faces looked liked some of the ancient marble sculptures inside the museum...Admittance is free, like the Met in NY in NYC... I cannot stop stop thinking about NYC, Laural Canon or Buenos Aires to just flaneur and post for a month from there... But I hate modern air travel so can only dream of the americas.... Robert
Remembering New York...
Although we usually don't publish other people's pics... Luisa and I have an emotional attachment to Furla because to celebrate her Green Card I bought her a Furla tote in the late nineties. At the time she was the web designer for Bloomies and Furla was a new brand in NY. The evening of the day we bought the bag, I was with to met with Ron Frasch(rt.) and Malory Andrews to discuss a store visit she was planned to make to BG of HRH Princess Anne prior to a small dinner of senior New Yorkers on the yacht of the late Malcolm or his son Steve Forbes', mainly to discuss the work of Save The Children and other good causes, she supported... During an aside from the main conversation, we were discussing British woolens when she told us that the mill that produces the goods for the Coldstream Guards' red tunics had been on the edge of the estate where she lives with her family since the late 1600's...
"Oh really Mam?" I said. "My father was a Coldstreamer""Jolly well done Robert" she replied as Colonel-in-Chief of the regiment. When Ron joined our conversation, asking "What's a Coldstreamer?""That's in-house-talk" the Princess said as she raised her white gloved hand in a "talk-to-the-hand" motion. I think she immediately realised she was being abrupt... Poor Ron, looked flabbergasted as he graciously accepted her manner and we all moved on...
Finally, I'd love to see that Furla skin bag done huge! with a snake-skin printed on diamond stamped leather, with a shiny plastic looking hand-finish... It could become an icon like Furla's jelly and candy ranges but aimed at very rich women around the world, the ladies-who-lunch. Perhaps Saks could commission three to be auction for charity and Ron could send one to the Princess to be auctioned by one of her charities. That way he could show her that there are no hard feelings on his side... But, I'm sure he is so busy he can hardly remember the day?

You are my everything
How is everyone doing? It is midweek and this means that the weekend is around the corner. The week seems to be going pretty fast and not as stressful as the prior week though I have the same work load. On the other hand, maybe I am a bit excited that I get to relax on this trip.
I wore this outfit on a night out with my hubby. I was going for a simple look while allowing the accessories and my shoes to make a statement. From the scarf to the shoes, you will see how much I love animal prints. Animal prints or leopard prints are more than a trend to me. They always add an edgy look to an outfit.
Wearing H&M faux leather skirt, Michael Kors watch, Express gold bracelet, Forever21/Bakers rings
Zara shoes, Aldo bag, & Express necklace
Hope everyone enjoys the rest of the week!
I am off to continue with my research paper...

Shades of blue
My weekend was spent getting some rest and finishing up my school work for the week. After a sleepless week, on Saturday, I slept most of the day before heading out to dinner with my husband. After dinner, I decided to get a manicure, pedicure and my eyebrows done. I went in with full eyebrows but I came out with barely none--thanks to lady at the nail salon...smh! At least I have MAC espresso matte and bangs as cover up LOL!
On Sunday, I was able to make one of my favorite soup "Okra soup"- I haven't had it in a while. I ended up eating so much that night I could barely get up from my seat. I am a self proclaimed foodie, but the good thing is that I don't really eat a lot of junk food. :)
On another note, this is another busy week for me both at work and school, but the good thing is that I am looking forward to some fun time with my hubby & friends/coworkers in Vegas. I am a Vegas newbie, so I am so looking forward to some fun after work in the Sin City.
Next week is halloween...do you guys have your costumes ready? I have an idea what my costume will be, but you will just have to wait and see. :)

I hope you all have a fabulous week!
Big hugs & kisses
