OMG! DURAN DURAN
Yes the day has come. My number one band has a new cd out. It truly is Christmas. The new CD hit iTunes on December 21st and is exclusively sold there until March. Duran Duran is in their true form. I have every album they have ever done. I remember being in a trance when Simon Le Bon danced in the video “The Reflex” with the sisters singing backup. If they called me to sing back-up on their new album my husband and I would have our passports in hand to meet them in England ASAP.

Ready Set Go Bag Organizer by Lori Greiner – QVC.com
I enjoy wearing all kinds of handbags but sometimes it’s hard to organized my keys, wallet, lip gloss, and other items in them because they all fall to the bottom of the bag.
What’s a girl to do?
Well I happen to see on QVC.com a purse organizer that can fit a small or large purse and a make up bag is in the middle of the organizer. I ordered it wondering if it would work or not and it actually pass the test.
No longer do I have to search for my keys or trying to find my phone, pen or lip gloss. The organizer fits right in my purse and if I want to change purses the organizer has handles so I just pull it out and transfer it to my other purse. It’s that easy.
So if I have a big bag I can you use the large inset or both small and large inset with the makeup bag. The organizer is so versatile and there’s a lot of options.

This is not a fashion post, I would like to pay tribute to a talented artist named Teena Marie. Teena Marie was a talented four time Grammy nominated R&B singer who died Sunday at age 54, ( If you would like to read more about what happened I posted the link to CNN’s website)CNN.
She was so young and she’s deeply missed. She was truly one of the best soul singers of all time.
I remember watching her singing on Soul Train when I was a kid and her voice was so smooth and cool. One of my favorite songs of Teena Marie’s is Lovergirl.
My condolences and prayers go out to her family.

Miss Tina I really am feeling your designs. I relate to her because I know what it’s like to make my own clothes because I didn’t have a lot of money. I sewed my own baccalaureate and high school graduation dresses so I realized at an early age that sewing my outfits is not only affordable but takes my outfit to another level because I can do my spin on the designs.
In the picture below I made this toile skirt that I can wear with so many tops and tights. It’s a sense of accomplishment when you make your own garment or accessory.

Miss Tina début her line at Walmart in October and most of the clothing prices are not over $20 which is simply amazing. Below is a video of Miss Tina talking about her beginnings as a Seamstress/Designer and the line at Walmart. She designs her line for every woman and I admire her for that effort. All women should be able to wear fashionable clothing no matter what size they are.

Post Script
I will be doing another post on the Miss Tina line because I would like to go to Walmart and see if the line is just as great. I have some pieces of hers when she was on HSN (I will show some of my Miss Tina pieces from HSN in another post) and the quality was excellent so I expect the line at Walmart to be the same.
