Summer Handbags!!






Well, it's time to "lighten up" and put down some of those items that you normally carry with you all year long!  Summer is the time for sunglasses, sunscreen and flip flops!  What I enjoy carrying in the summer is my basket-woven bags, fabric textures and of course, denim.  At any age and on any occasion, you can choose bold fabrics and lots of color! 

Remember that with the heat, it is important to carry less make-up or be sure to put it in plastic containers to avoid leaks and spills!  We've certainly have had enough of that around here.  I am noticing that even some of these eco-friendly shopping bags that only cost 99 cents could double as a summer bag.  And please ladies, if you are going to wear a long, beautiful floral print dress, do not pair it with an unattractive over-the-shoulder bag.  Keep it pretty....

Stay cool......carry less....have fun.

Enjoy!

Sex and the City 2 - It was more than just fashion!

Yesterday, I got to see my television-gone-movie BFFs in their second film!  As I anticipated, the clothes were absolutely phenomenal.  I have never seen an attorney look so fabulous!  I have jokingly called myself the "Black Sarah Jessica Parker," so I love, love, love Carrie's style...who else could wear a slogan t-shirt with a formal skirt and make it look so cute.  If I miss anything about living in New York City, it was walking out of my brownstone apartment looking stylish, even if the only place I was going was to Fairway to shop for groceries.  By the way, as a side bar, I was selected to be an extra in Sex and the City while living in NYC in 2000...had a previous engagement, though!

Whether Darren Starr intentionally plan to have us all fall in love with India, Bollywood, or the culture, I must say, that I enjoyed gazing at the very handsome butler of SJP,  the dessert sands and the fact that the American Dollar could get you lots of shoes for a really cheap price.  And those ladies stayed at the most amazing hotel...I am sold and want to take my best friends and go to India.....and let some men pick out the most colorful and attractive India-appropriate clothes for me.

I did not forget to mention the gay wedding, which was only made memorable by the presence of Liza!!!!!!  Let's hear it for aging these days.  Betty White, Liza, Tina....I ain't mad at cha!  Liza was embarrassing and enjoyable all at the same time.  In fact, I loved her rendition of Single Ladies and the slightly altered musical arrangement at the end.  What a way to start the movie.  I think for my anniversary party, I'll be wearing a tux and a cute lil'  black  crown like my girl Sarah was rockin'.

It was all about women and our super-human power that we declare publicly and privately in any situation, in any country.   My biggest takeaway was remembering to Respect others, young, old, gay, and culturally-different....please, please, please bring us a Sex and the City 3....I wanna keep growing up or never growing up with these ladies.
