BEHIND THE CLOSET DOOR

One of my favorite things to do is go through fashion magazines, look at all the stunning photos of the newest styles, then open my closet door and think hmm...How can I create that look and feel with my own clothing?

Everything I'm wearing here has been occupying real estate in my closet for awhile. When I saw a magazine photo of a  leather motorcycle jacket paired with a flowing feminine skirt, I had a "light bulb" moment. It was edgy, romantic, and different, and I had an idea...

It feels good to get creative with your own clothing. Everything old can be new again.

Just take 5 minutes wherever you are and be grateful for anything...take 10 if you've got it...

I am a big fan of EQUIPMENT clothing.  It works year round, it's sophisticated, sexy and oh so soft. White Jeans, Flying Monkeys, Tibihttp://www.tibi.com/shop/shoes/pumps Strappy sandals, Hermes Birkin, Hermes Scarf

I always have a scarf on hand.  When it gets a bit chilly you can  just wrap the scarf around your neck and it will warm your body instantly, and your look becomes a bit chic. 

I love these TIBI sandals, they pack so easily  , they're super sexy!  I always reach for these during the summer,  RAEN Sunglasses ,HERMES Silver Link Bracelet

Here are a few of my magic potions. At 50 I decided it's time to take care of my skin, I know it's a little late, but better late than never. Once a month I treat myself to Bella Lora Spa. Owned and run by Loreta she is a miracle worker for your face. She's so lovely and I can't wait every time I walk in the door. My skin has made significant  changes.
