Black is the New Black

Black--my signature color.  In my opinion, there is nothing more chic, confident, bad-ass (and not to mention slimming) than a beautiful woman in black from head to toe.  Don't get me wrong, I love me some color, but you've got to be in the mood to be bold or cheerful or girly--whatever you want to be for the day.  But black needs no explanation.  Black is strong and black is powerful.  Need more proof?  Well, here you go...

Treat the World Better...

I'm thinking it is just going to be one of those weeks that I'm just going to have to put my head down, and power through any way I can.  We've all been there, and sometimes when I get to this point, the best thing for me is to just breathe and find good things to reflect upon.  When I saw this quote today, it put things in perfect perspective.  Just another reminder that things in this world are so much bigger than you, no matter how mad or sad or bad things are.  It takes a lot of strength to turn your feelings around and project back something better.  But this week, that will be my focus.  Sometimes strength is all you have to get to where you need to be.

Just a few things that have put a smile on my face and a pep in my step lately...

Going to see this incredibly talented man once again in a little over a week! Obsessed. 

Um, how amazing is this resort in San Juan Del Sur, Nicaragua?  And the price...pennies.  Booking my room asap.

I have watched this skit now at least a dozen times...still cracks me up!

This post featuring Giorgio Armani Privé collections running from 2005 to present day...ah-mazing!  To wear one of those gowns...a girl can dream!

Sometimes, it's the little things...

Post-Halloween Post

Happy Halloween plus one!  It's my second favorite holiday--how could you not love one where you get to play dress up and eat candy?  Thanks for all the comments on my previous "What to be for Halloween" post.  Although I loved them all, I decided to go in a different route this year and loved my results--Miss Piggy!

Since I was coming from work to my friend's party and to hand out candy, this was an easy choice.  I just put on the wig, nose, and ears and added the boa, gloves and jewelry to what I was already wearing for work.  The kids LOVED my costume and so did I!  And if you're taking kids trick-or-treating in DC next year, let me tell you--East Capitol Street is the place to be.  I probably handed out 1,000 pieces of candy!

So fun, great costumes, good friends and a hostess with the mostess...what more could a girl want?  Hope you all had a wonderful Halloween as well!
