Why White?

I love white. 

I love crisp white shirts. 

I love classic white t-shirts.

 I love white dresses. I love white houses. 

I love white decor, and more.

According to Pantone Inc., 

white

is the best selling color 

for the classic american t-shirt.

And,

More shades of white 
are available commercially 
than any other color.


White projects purity, cleanliness, and neutrality. 

Doctors don white coats, 

brides traditionally wear white gowns,

 and a white picket fence surrounds a safe and happy home.

White affects us mentally and physically.

 * aids mental clarity 

* encourages us to clear clutter or obstacles 

* evokes purification of thoughts or actions

 * enables fresh beginnings (via here)

...centered

...simple

...fastidious

...clarifying

...traditional

'LUSH' Picks!

The week is winding down and our to-do, or to-have-fun, lists are revving up for the weekend! Here's a little help with completing your lists!

Classic Shades!

A classic pair of shades are always necessary! However, when the warmer seasons hit, and we tend to be outside more often, they are even more necessary! Choose wisely, and choose more than one pair! Like shoes, sunglasses compliment the outfit! The Aviator style (every designer has their version) has fashion staying power. Therefore, if you have to choose one pair, this might very well be the one! A 'Lush' pick!

"Look what happens when lace leaves the Victorian era behind. The ultimate girlie fabric takes on a modern twist. Suddenly lace doesn't just feel cool, it is cool." A sexy modern black lace dress is appropriate in any season. A 'Lush' pick!

Spring is the perfect time to decide on a little road romance! Not just for the economic savings and the gentleness to our environment, mopeds, or scooters, are just so "euro" romantic! Whether with the one you love, or just treating yourself, enjoying the outdoors on wheels.......a 'Lush' pick!

Touches of Vibrant Color!

Color, color, vibrant color! Needing a mood lift! Vases full of blooming flowers will awaken even the gloomiest days! A 'Lush' pick!

I Wanted to Be 'That Girl'!

One of my favorite sitcoms was 'That Girl'. Who could resist "Ann Maries" adorable personality and classic beauty? She had a smile that would consume any person. She had charm that would melt any heart. She was full of life. She had a sense of style and the wardrobe to support it. I wanted to be so much like the character. Here are a few pics to reminisce.





That Girl Theme Song Lyrics
Title: "That Girl"
By: "Earle Hagen and Sam Denoff"

Diamonds, Daisies, Snowflakes,
That Girl
Chestnuts, Rainbows, Springtime ...
Is That Girl
She's tinsel on a tree ...
She's everything that every girl should be!

Sable, Popcorn, White Wine,
That Girl
Gingham, Bluebirds, Broadway ...
Is That Girl
She's mine alone, but luckily for you ...
If you find a girl to love,
Only one girl to love,
Then she'll be That Girl too ...
That Girl!

Sorry this photo isn't the best, however, I had to display this dress! It's me!
