A “Wu” Pieces ~ A Full Wardrobe

February 7, 2012 By Leave a Comment

This past Sunday, Target launched their Jason Wu for Target line. I went to my local store before getting ready for church service and bought 5 pieces from his line. They were the exact items that I wanted as I previewed the line, waiting for it to launch.

Here’s what I bought -

 Now, add in a few basic staple pieces of clothing, like a black skirt, black pants, jeans, a black cardigan and a denim jacket – and here’s what you get!

Wardrobing

January 29, 2012 By Leave a Comment

Years ago, when I was studying image consulting, I came across a collection of books entitled Real Chic. I loved the clean and simple wardrobe clusters that the books were known for showing. I can also appreciate InStyle magazine’s similar method of showing entire wardrobes in easy, beautiful pictures. I’ve always wanted to create these sort of fashion collages myself.

Well, I recently found a site called Polyvore that allows me to do just that – and I love it! Here’s my first collection entitled “Saturday Brunch” where I show you entire wardrobes that anyone can duplicate (and these are actual (or very similar) items that are in my closet).  :-)

Enjoy, and stay tuned for more collections from yours truly!

Christmas, Coffee & Cupcakes

New England Coffee holiday flavors

Cinnamon Sticky Bun & Gingerbread Cookie coffees

This past, mid-December, I had invited some of my friends and family over for a Christmas gathering. I affectionately named the event on the invitations, “Christmas, Coffee & Cupcakes”.

To my sheer delight, a couple of weeks before my event, my friends at New England Coffee had asked me to do a product review of their holiday flavors; Cinnamon Sticky Bun and Gingerbread Cookie. So, what’s better than to add a “coffee tasting” to my event for the ladies who’d be coming over?!

Here are some of the comments from the tastings;

Cinnamon Sticky Bun Coffee:

  • Very good. I can taste the cinnamon and it’s not too strong.
  • I like the cinnamony smooth taste. It would make a good dessert coffee, and would taste good as an iced coffee drink.
  • A delicate bouquet of spices. Would make a delicious dessert coffee.

  • Cinnamon aroma, and flavorful with very little sugar or cream.
  • Nice flavor. I would definitely purchase this coffee.

 

Gingerbread Cookie Coffee:

  • Delicious, not too sweet. Very flavorful.
  • Absolutely wonderful – smooth flavor. I am a true coffee drinker and I love this coffee.
  • Nice, smooth, wonderful taste for the holidays or any time. Love it, love it!!
  • Very mild flavor.
  • Mild flavor, I enjoyed it.
  • Very comforting and delicious. I’m not a coffee drinker, but I really enjoyed this flavor.

   Thank you New England Coffee, for adding some extra “spice” to my 2011 Christmas gathering memories!
