Big Things Come In Small Packages

What's fabulous, small, and red all over? These ultra chic faux leather mini folders from Southern Kouture! I absolutely adore all things miniature and multi-functional so these are a perfect pretty treat. They make great business card holders or you can even store a few coupons in them. Not to mention the fact that you can request to customize them in the color, design, and wording of your choice. Professional just advanced to posh.

Great Minds Think Alike

As I perused the aisle of the blissful Target, I ran across this beautiful rose print top that caught my eye. I admired it for a few moments then I kept my window shopping in progress. For some reason that top kept jumping out at me and I couldn't leave the area. As I opened my clutch bag to grab a piece of gum, it hit me. The inside lining of the very clutch bag that I was carrying had an almost identical print as the beautiful top that graced the racks in Target. Well as they say, "Great Mind Think Alike".

Cover Girl

There is nothing I like more than something that offers a little versatility. And with these cold temperatures putting a damper on my spirits I definitely have spring fever. I ran across this amazing kimono style sheer shawl that makes the list of two for one.

This dainty overlay of bright blues and dazzling yellows would be a stunning cover up for a solid hue swimsuit for this year's summer vacation. It can also double as a flirty fun layering piece atop a classic cami and dark wash denim. It's an easy breezy beautiful cover up!

The Art of Gifting

 
 
Text messages, emails and tweets are the norm for communication these days.  To emphasize emotion we include images of yellow dots that have random facial expressions like smiles, frowns, and laughter lol. We have lost the essence of the human voice and touch.
 
I think its absolutely refreshing to receive a card or a quick phone call every once in awhile that doesn't have a short-hand version of a meaningful conversation.
 
Southern Kouture gives us insight into how to artfully deliver words that often go unspoken. No two people are alike so the greeting cards that you give them should reflect their differences. Check out SK for detailed personalized stationary.

We are dead smack in the middle of holiday season. We have found ourselves amongst the hustle and flow of Christmas shopping, party hopping, cooking, baking and the like. We have work during the day and family life at night. Not to mention time with friends when possible. Just when you thought you had every right to be exhausted Mrs. Carter, also playfully know as Yonce these days, serves you a hearty portion of LIFE!

I do declare that this talented woman is 2013's hardest working human of the year. She is by far more than just a pretty face, fab body and a singing bird. She, my friends, is a business person that is a force to be reckoned with. Who drops a no promo no warning visual album in the middle of a tour? Only Mrs. BeyoncĂ© Knowles Carter. Now that's how you go out with a bang!

As I have mentioned several times before, I am really more of a big necklace, bigger handbag, and no makeup kind-of-a gal. Well after having an image is everything conversation with my friends, I decided to take a walk on the wild side and give this makeup thing a try.
 
If I had to choose, I prefer a precisely groomed brow, light mascara, and a colored lip. I honestly didn't know exactly where to start because the sea of makeup is endless. The one thing I knew for sure was that I didn't want to put a lot of money into my initial makeup investment. With that thought, I decided to visit my local beauty store.
 
I ran across some amazing shades of red ranging from bright to deep. I must say that the color options were exciting and what iced the cake was the low cost attached to these lipstick. There were at least 20 plus color choices of the Ruby Kisses Color Design Lipsticks and they were only a buck! That's right $1. I picked up two for now to see if I can actually commit to applying them daily. I will keep you posted.
