THIS WEEK, LILAC LOVE

This week was truly a gift, a dear friend surprised me with some beautiful lilacs, and a new dress arrived in my wardrobe.  What more can a girl ask for,other than the right man :). 

I hope your week was just as amazing. How are you dear friends?  


A CHIC MINIMALIST is wearing a new dress by Bianca Nero. 
Also, it was so kind of a dear friend to help me move one of my cabinets upstairs.  Now  it is the happy home for some of my beautiful handbags, which I enjoy season after season.  They are finally tucked away and safe for years to come!  
If you are looking for an easy storage solution, I recommend turning an unused cabinet into a hand bag display unit. It truly makes everything organized, pretty, and chic. 

For your viewing pleasure, here is a sneak peek.

MY CHIC COMPANION, MEOW BOUTIQUE

Hello my dear friends, how are you?  I hope you enjoyed the holiday weekend.  Just arrived back from being away for a few days. I feel so invigorated and ready to share something new.

Que the music and my chic companion, MEOW BOUTIQUE
I cannot take my eyes off of you. You are like heaven to touch. You are just too good to be true, oh how I want to hold you so much.  You are a chic companion that is too good to be true. 


Thanks to my dear friends at MEOW BOUTIQUE, I had an opportunity to enjoy my chic companion - the clutch handbag.  It was truly too good to be true!  Both clutches shown below are so versatile. They truly are the perfect companion day to night.  My hands free experience was a pure delight. Take a style cue from a chic minimalist and visit MEOW BOUTIQUE today! Maybe you will find your perfect match.


I simply cannot take my eyes off of these beautiful delights!

Summer is almost here, which marks the daunting task of what to wear as the temperature rises. My style is always effortless; I just want to feel good, comfortable and secure.  With the ease of a clutch all my beauty essentials and phone are hidden away.


Try it for yourself and you can decide. You may enjoy how you too can go to an event then run off and do something else with a clutch handbag.  Also, do not be scared of using a clutch handbag in the day. It is another great option, especially when you have to run a chic errand!

A CHIC MINIMALIST IS WEARING:
Colour blocked by Chocolate clutch, ABS by Allen Shwartz pink dress, blue Prada sandals, and an assortments of estate fine jewelry.

This clutch ticks all my boxes for embellishment and practicality. It is so sleek with its shape, which exudes femininity and strength. There is also an edge to this clutch that maximizes this season's fantastic trend of colour blocking.  Wear it for a special evening out with a metallic dress, and then pair  it with gold sandals on a summer holiday. 




This summer, there are no strict fashion rules, we want you to experiment and enjoy. What you wear should feel fresh and effortless, just have fun and try something new like a chic little clutch! Try a chic little clutch such as the one featured above today at my chic companion, Meow Boutique.


\Hope you will all have a lovely weekend dear friends!

Vava voom, here we go with a peek at what is inside my travel cosmetics case.  For all things chic and minimal take a peek dear friends.

PINK LADY



Salut dear friends, how are you on this sunny, sunny afternoon. I hope you are all doing well.  I will be away visiting my hometown tomorrow so let's chat a bit earlier this week!  

I am dreaming of what I shall wear today, what do you think of Magenta?  Indeed, this seems to be a month devoted to pink!  I cannot help but enjoy such a fresh and feminine shade as it is oh so flattering on everyone, whether you are pale blonde or a luscious lady with a magnificent tan.  It is so universally flattering.

Today, on such a magnificent sunny day pink is on my mind yet again, hopefully I do not look like barbie.  If so have you seen Ken anyone ;). 




A CHIC MINIMALIST IS WEARING:
 Magenta ABS by Allen Shwartz dress, brown leather by Steve Madden pumps, and an assortment of antique estate jewelry.

Happy Wednesday, hope it is amazing!

DAY DREAMING OF A SPRINGTIME PURPLE HAZE

Happy Friday amies, hope you will have a lovely and efficient day. What are your plans for the weekend?

Spring is in full bloom here. The magnolia trees and cherry blossoms are simply gorgeous this year and very inspiring. Yesterday, I got lost in a purple haze inspired by all the light pink and purple blooms around me at this moment in time.  Enjoy a peek at my chic ensemble for May 9th. 
Please do share what inspires you, or informs your personal style. I am quite curious.

For your viewing pleasure....
