I have been traveling constantly for the past few weeks and decide to do a few posts about packing lightly yet having everything you need at your disposal. I should have taken pics of my bag but I forgot so I will recreate my suitcase, travel makeup bag, makeup brush bag and travel carry on over the next few weeks. I probably will have to go out of town towards the end of the month so the will aid in my finishing this series. Here is a list of my travel essentials from around the web. Packing cubes, my suitcase and my travel purse,brush bag, makeup case and laptop case. My suitcase, packing and laptop case are all pink, Yes I know that's kinda corny but easy to identify.

Chanel tote bag (see more chanel tote bags)

I couldn't find a link to my makeup case so here's a quick pic from my phone.

Wow it has been four years since I posted on this blog but I decided to revive it! I have broaden my horizons and the blog will reflect that change. I will be doing quite a bit of traveling in the coming months, so I hope to chronicle some of my journey here on the blog. My love of shopping hasn't waned so I will include any purchases I make on the trip. I doubt anyone is reading it but that won't deter me from writing. See ya soon, Chances

I'm coming back

I haven't been blogging for a long while, for both personal and professional reasons but I've decided to get back in the game. In the next few weeks this blog will be up and running again with a few changes. See ya soon

Trying something new this season.

My plan or goal is to only get 5 key pieces/additions to my current fall wardrobe. I never pare it down like this, I usually do a wish list and pick up what I like along the way. Well I'm running out of closet space and I'm doing some major saving for the next year; so my disposal income will be limited. I'm having an extremely difficult time trying narrow it down to 5 pieces right now I have 10 that I feel are must haves but I have to cut it down so my final number may be 6. My greatest issue is shoes I can buy 10 pair a season and I can't do this and achieve my goal. So here is what I've come up with so far. I've limited it to one shoe but I know I will buy another pair I just haven't seen it yet. I may not get these exact pieces but this is a blue print.This grouping is subject to changes once I actually get into the stores and see the offerings. Any thoughts you would like to share, does anyone know what they are getting for fall?

A few things I want for fall.

I really love this dress but I said no more shopping for summer clothes, so I went on Polyvore to see how I could winterize this dress. Looks like fall to me. Tell me what you think?

Viva Las Vegas

I went to Las Vegas for a mini vacation. I had loads of fun. Here are a few photos to capture my time and style in Vegas. Boy it was HOT!!! I look kinda crazy in the photos but that's the oppressive heat trying to fry my brain. I wanted to show my favorite travel purse but I only captured the strap in the pic. LOL

I know it's been a minute

I haven't forgotten about my blog, a few tech and time issues have interrupted the regularly scheduled programing but I will be back in a flash with updates. Stay fly and happy! Peace

Late nights, Tequila Shots, and Good Friends

Earlier tonight I went out to celebrate one of my good friends B-days. I decide to wear my Burberry platforms and combine the very popular socks with sandal look. I'm not sure that wearing these shoes was such a good idea since we did tequila shots as a birthday toast.. so balancing was a tricky feat indeed. Thankfully I had a helping hand! I'm very sleepy so this post will be brief.

Outfit, Dress-Helmut Lang, Skirt-Wolford fatal dress as a skirt, Shoes-Burberry, Socks-Target. jewelry -bracelets beaded and a rubber and diamond pave' hearts.

Denim Dressed Up

As always I see something I like and then I go on a search. I want a cute denim dress to wear this summer. Well to be more accurate I want another denim dress, something a little different than what I presently own. The pics above are the type of dresses I want to get because I think they are wearable, and below are my fantasy dresses/outfits that I don't think translate off the runway. I bought one dress already just waiting for it to arrive in the mail!

My Ipod is Trippin LOL

I can't remember what blog I saw this on but I think it's an interesting way to see what type of songs people have on their Ipods, and it gives some uncannily accurate answers in some instances..... Even though this really doesn't reflect my actual range of music loves.
