One of the coolest things that’s happened to fashion lately is Peplum. It’s feminine, whimsical and beautiful! It’s nice to see it’s not going anywhere anytime soon, instead is spreading to other important wardrobe pieces such as pants. All of these models here would ook great with a cropped top. Don’t you think? Enjoy!

Make Fashion not War! You may have noticed the trend of studded fashion here and there. As everything trendy, it has its pros and cons. Some may love it while others may hate it. One advise to those who don’t favor this trend, don’t dare tell the one wearing them because they are well, pretty well armed and you don’t really want to mess with them.
We finally moved in this past Saturday and still don’t have cable or Internet connection. Yeah!…so much fun! But God does not abandon a loyal blogger so after sniffing around every corner of our home for the past days in search of a few poor bars of connection, I finally found a pair of benevolent ones in a corner of my son’s room. I think it comes from the kid upstairs. These Net Generation kids and teens are selfless, good people and highly connected, which brings me back to the intention of this post and why we should all keep a journal. We’re living in a time where people don’t look up anymore, passing by the flowers and the friendly smiles without even noticing them. Parallel to all the distractions in the cyber world there is our real busy world as well, which render us with always something to do or think about and keeping us from being in the moment. I decided to keep a journal a few months ago and I’ve been trying to be diligent about writing as often as I can in an effort to keep it and read it later on in life in order to remember things that otherwise I will not remember. If you want to tell your grandchildren good and interesting stories of your life in full color, go ahead and keep a journal.
I have noticed that there are not many options for beautiful bags priced under the thousands. It seems everyone think it’s Hermes. I have a great obsession with bags and look to buy one at least every year. But keeping up with Designer handbags can get very expensive. There are many nice looking options available at affordable retail stores but, they may not be as durable. I’m particularly interested in bags that come with both, a short handle and shoulder handle. I appreciate the flexibility of carrying it either on my shoulder, arm or hand. These bags listed here below offer that flexibility and more while being affordable and chic. Below, a roundup of chic affordable bags.
