FASHION AND PHILANTHROPY, A VERY CHIC PAIRING


Happy Wednesday dear friends, how are you this week?

This pairing is made even more special when shared with a friend.

SERIOUS AND SENSUAL

Happy Friday dear friends,
How are you?

Hope today is a lucky day for you, as Friday the 13th does not always have to be a day of superstition.  We are very serious in our office working away on some new and exciting fashion stories just for you.  As well as our chic companion adventures. 

Enjoy a peek at something that is both serious and sensual, as office wear does not need to be boring, un-sohpisitcated, or non-alluring.  A perfectly fitting and tailored professional dress is both serious, and it also is alluring especially in the ever popular shade of grey.  Grey is a new natural along with white and black, in my professional wardrobe.

BLUE AND WHITE IS THE PERFECT TEA-TIME COMPANION

Happy Thursday dear friends,
How are you?

This week, we had a chic chat at home with a dear friend.  Tea-time calls for something, sweet, sophisticated, and feminine. 

Enjoy my chic tea time ensemble, as tea time calls for a less revealing chic ensemble du jour.  Ladies, please always opt for a knee length dress that is not too body conscious or hugging, as the occasion calls for elegance, femininity, and demure activity.

INSPIRING ELEGANCE THIS JANUARY

Happy Sunday dear friends, how are you?

Wishing you a relaxing and restful day filled with much joy and time with dear ones. 

For your viewing pleasure enjoy a peek at my chic ensemble this January.  Elegance is the epitome of minimal chic this winter!

Monday is Casual Winter Elegance

New Years Day calls for some casual elegance a la a gorgeous peach and co-ordinating cream sweater, both pieces are by designer Chris Benz.  To finish this chic ensemble are a few of my favourite Chanel accessories, including these gorgeous pearl earrings, and pink bag. 

Tuesday is Tea Time

Tea time is made even more sweet with this chic M Missoni stripped dress, paired with my favourite black Edelman Sam pumps and swarsoki crystal gold earrings. 


Friday Evening is Simply Divine in White



Black feels very stark and harsh in the in the midst of winter.  Instead, may I recommend trying a lovely strapless white dress that fits and flatters all your curves.  White dress is by Colcci and is paired with my favourite lady like accessories of an elegant pearl white necklace and matching Chanel pearl earrings. 

We all have guilty pleasures and Chanel as a brand is a perfect compliment to my elegant, simple, and chic minimal style. 

May my chic ensembles inspire elegance and give you the confidence to you to embrace your own personal style that compliments your lifestyle this January. 

Hope you have a wonderful week my dear friends!
