    Gaga for Vanessa

    Gaining an hour back really does make a whole lot of difference. Today, I feel recharged. Finally some decent sleep over the weekend. 1st Monday in a really long time that I am awake, not groggy. How about that. Well I guess, I need to work on getting more of this thing called sleep. So, how was your weekend? Anything exciting? As for moi, Hubby & I ventured into Queens (1 of NYC’s 5 boroughs & #2 behind, Manhattan IMO) for some Italian & Colombian food. One thing we miss the most about living in Queens is the food. The choices will make your head spin, all thanks to Queens diverse group…

    The Big Easy

    There’s nothing like a cozy super-sized sweater. That’s why I’m so glad that for fall, designers have showered us with textured, languid sweaters that are not only chic, but BIG on proportions too. To you my darlings, I sincerely apologize for not being able to visit everyone’s blog. I am swamped at work and only manage to steal away for a minute or 2. Personal life is even busier. I’m dizzy & nauseaous as I’m writing this since I haven’t had coffee or breakfast. As soon as I walked into work. Well before 9 am, I’ve been bombarded with requests. I hope all of you are having a great week so…

    Collar yourself stylish

    I love to poke fun of myself & goof around a lot. Laugh & have fun.  Hello lovelies!  I finally found some time to do an outfit post despite being ill.  How’s everyone’s week going so far?  Sorry, I’m not my usual chatty Kathy self.  I’m barely staying awake at work with all the medication I’m ingesting. I hate having asthma & what I hate even more are people with healthy lungs destroying theirs by smoking cigarettes.  Don’t get me wrong, I know its their personal choice and I’m the unlucky one with the bad lungs, but it irks me at times when I’m struggling to breathe & they don’t even realize…

    Tulles of the Trade

    Its tricky to wear tulle, some of us won’t even think of it. We simply decided to sit this one out. Are you sitting this style out too? I figure go for it, take a risk – do or die. Although, I have a few outfits in mind. Let’s start with #1 – paired with my Jeffrey Campbell Lita Fur Pink Cheetah. Start with edgy then dive into something sweet next week with a blazer and some heels. How do you propose we could look chic in our childhood clothes?
