Lists, lists, and More lists! But..........

we all know that lists are important! This week seemed to have a plethora of extremely, well-defined lists posted! And, I was more than happy to re-acquaint myself with the necessary reinforcement of reminders!

I live by "lists". I believe "lists" are the very same as writing down "goals".  And, goals, like lists, are meant to keep us on task, and productive, ever moving forward, or upward (whichever fits your direction)!

So..........here's a list of lists!! : )

Summertime Classic Wardrobe Essentials!

If there's one word (although there's more than one, LOL) that I consistently hear when other's comment in regards to my home and fashion style choices, it's "classic". And, I favor mixing masculine and feminine elements! I believe it represents what is truly me--strong with a touch of grace. Here are several classic wardrobe essentials, from J.Crew, that work well together, or as an added touch to the other masculine/feminine pieces in your wardrobe.

Roses are a classic and the most popular flower! Well......it stands true when it comes to the Limited Edition Rampant Rose top, of Prabal Gurung, at J.Crew! Roses.... whether you grow them, or wear them..........a 'LUSH' pick!

Bows........we love them on a wrapped gift, or as a fashionable embellishment! The Limited Edition Exploding Bow blouse and dress, of Prabal Gurung, at J.Crew........a 'LUSH' pick!



A wear-with-everything style metallic leather strappy sandal, in platinum gold............a 'LUSH' pick!

Described as chic, sophisticated and very chunky............the Classic Jenna bracelet........a 'LUSH' pick!
Graceful with lasting significance describes the style of one who wears pearls. Hand knotted pearl bracelet.........................continuously a 'LUSH' pick!

I am a fan of a WELL-MADE, GREAT FITTING, FLATTERING cropped trouser, pant, or jean. And, to put the final touch of my masculine/feminine simply classic wardrobe essentials........the cropped pinstripe super 120's four season trouser.................a 'LUSH' pick!
Choose to make today a beautiful day! xo

Grasping Style!

Style within your reach! Fashion that can be grasped! Handbags! Did I mention anything about Tuesday's posts being focused on obsessions and desires of mine? And yours? C'mon, every email update I receive from a designer, or popular boutique, features seasonal handbags to die for! Sooooo somebody (or somebodies) out there are driving this obsession to create more handbags! Right!? However.......I'm reasonable with my "addictions". I find classic vintage bags from yesterday, at "WOW" prices, that are the "sisters" of today's designs! (OK, I do have designer bags from today, too. But,I love when a precious earned dollar can be stretched.) Handbags that brighten your day, much like the sun........................ Kate Spade!

Vintage! Lemon Zest! Vintage! Mellow Yellow! Vintage! Orange Burst! Vintage! Tangy Tangerine! Vintage! Red Rush!

Handbags that are as colorful as a rainbow....................

Vintage! Rainbow Pastels! Vintage! Rainbow Bold!

Handbags that are Designer signature!

Handbags that keep their sisters close by....................

White City Chic! Vintage! Ladylike! Kate Spade! Gardiner's Bay Farrah! Kate Spade! Lemon Drop Framed Lella! And, this beauty, I had to add no matter! Isn't she 'LUSH'ious?! I gotta "hand" it to having a handbag obsession............ No one should ever be able to snap at you and say "GETTA GRIP"! If they know you well, they'll know you already do! xo
