A friend blessed me with a silk Kameez and I really like how pretty it is and very comfortable.
Wikipedia says a “Shalwar kameez (also spelledsalwar kameez or shalwar qameez) is a traditional dress worn by both women and men in South Asia and Central Asia. “
A kameez can be worn with pants, leggings or a skirt. I decided to wear it with pants and my Anne Klein flats, it was so chic and wearable. The embroidery on the chest area and hem is so pretty and done well.
The ray of light picture I kept because it so refreshing to feel the sun on my face. God’s beauty is all around us, thank you Lord for your mercies endureth forever.
My Fav Accessories
You will be seeing me with my new Dooney and Bourke Vacheeta Leather satchel for a while because it was my birthday present from my hubby. Beautiful bag!
The dress, cardigan and watch are all by the fab designer Isaac Mizrahi for QVC exclusive. My owl ring is by Iris Apfel her line is Rara Avis. It is such a conversation piece and very comfortable on the fingers. My Dooney and Bouke Vacheeta leather satchel was a birthday gift from my hubby.
My shoes are by B Makowsky and I have had them for about three years now. My doggie G is always looking for squirrels to chase so he always wants to be in the shots. Can you blame him? He’s such a handsome little fellow.
My days have been quite full with work and Church. Making sure I have quality time with my hubby and puppies. It’s a blessing to be in good health and be active and busy. I so enjoy writing on my blog but my God and family comes first so I have my priorities.
I love to wear color and more of it so this red tie skirt that I have had for years from Metrostyle is such a favorite of mine. I have had this skirt for about four years. The skirt to me seems flamenco inspired. The skirt is so comfortable and 100% cotton.

I really like to pop black with a pop of color. And my birthday Dooney has been a joy to wear with my outfits.
Oh the joy of Vince Camuto wedges!
I tried this outfit with Clark metallic sandals and that worked too. Great to have versatility. My Vince Camuto wedges are high but feel so comfortable.

This is a week where I flat ironed my hair. First time in a month so it’s nice to do a length check and see how I am doing. I have about two to three inches of relaxed ends and I had to do a little dusting because I had some split ends. I started adding some Jamaican black castor oil to the ends of my hair and it makes my ends feel so much softer. The ends of my hair is the oldest part of my hair so it has to be pampered to stay strong. My coloring last a long time so and I think that has a lot to me using WEN cleansing conditioner.
Flat ironed hair first time in a month
I have washed my hair since this post I enjoy wearing my curls and having it straight sometimes. Again I love the versatility.
During my birthday month of May, my hubby bought me a beautiful Dooney and Bourke Vacheeta Leather Florentine Satchel in Natural and I am enjoying the pleasure of carrying it.
This bag works with so many different outfits.
I love taking it to work because I can fit every thing in it that I need for the day.

Inside of the satchel, the green material is so soft and the chain you see inside is to hold your keys. Also, there is ample inside pockets for eyeglasses, lip glosses, or lotion. The sky is the limit.
Inside the purse
The trim is a nice touch. It gives off equestrian-look to me and the saddle color tops it off. The stitching on the handles is so awesome because it gives the purse extra detail.
This outfit is one of my favorites because this is an actual maxi dress that I put a black top on over it and added a belt and wore it to work. The satchel gave it that chic edge.

I was feeling the sari skirt and the necklace, the silk is so comfortable in the spring and summer. The satchel is so versatile.
Sari skirt
I wore this outfit to church on Sunday because it was a hot day.The handkerchief blouse and capri pants felt so cool.
The Dooney and Bourke Vacheeta leather satchel not only goes with all my outfits. The picture below is my Evan Picone printed dress with light green blouse and my Vince Camuto booties. It is a total work horse for my wardrobe. I will do individual future posts on each outfit, I just wanted to show you how this purse is so cool. Win-win!
I won the Lia Sophia giveaway that Shasie was hosting on her blog “Live Life Style A City Girl’s Personal Blog on Fashion and Style.” I was elated and overjoyed, I couldn’t wait to receive the package. I received my package today and I had to style the jewelry with my outfit. The jewelry came packaged secure and in a pretty white pouch. Shasie is so classy she has her own blogbusiness cards and stationary (Go girl!). I advise everyone who has a blog to get business cards and I learned from Shasie that I should pick up some stationary too.
Lia Sophia package
When I took the jewelry out the package, I had an outfit that had the perfect colors to accentuate the jewelry.

The jewelry looks so pretty and it look so chic. The Cabana necklace is very well made and felt substantial, but not heavy.
The Sweet Spot Bracelet and the Swiss Dots Bracelet will go with so many different outfits. The Amedeo NYC cameo cuff is mine, the more bracelets the better.
The outfit with the Lia Sophia jewelry popped and the colors in my dress by Connected Apparel formed a happy marriage.
My Dooney and Bourke Vacheeta leather satchel is a gift for my birthday month (May is my birthday month celebration).
My burgundy shoes are from DSW and they are by Kelly and Katie. The flats are really comfortable and I love the patent and the buckle trim.

This is how the Connected Apparel looks without the cardigan.
Styling the Lia Sophia jewelry was a pleasure and I am thinking of so many ways I can style the necklace and bracelets with outer outfits I have.
Wow! to hear that Donna Summer died today at the age of 63 was such a shock. She is the Queen of Disco and she has so many great hits and is an influence on disco as well as pop music.
As a little child I remember listening to one her songs “Bad Girl,” going around the house saying toot toot hey beep beep.
In this video “On the Radio,” she looks like she could be singing right now, doesn’t look vintage at all. She was a beautiful lady.
She really sung her songs like she was weaving a story and you were right there like you were in a movie.
“Hot Stuff,” was a get up and dance song that would have everyone on their feet.
“Love to Love You Baby,” was sung and performed with class. In this video I am loving the gold platform boots and the dress and her hair is fierce. She was the Queen of Disco, big hair and style.
“Last Dance,” was such a grooving get up and move song.
“She Works Hard For The Money” was another favorite of mine. I remember this video because I knew the words by heart and she had that awesome hair. I love big curly hair and her style on this video was too cool.
Donna Summer’s knew Jesus Christ as her Lord and Savior so I know she is with the Lord in heaven. Her music will always bring back great memories of me singing with my faux mic in front of my Mother.
