Its that time of Year!

MY Awesome LIFE!
After worship service on yesterday, I was fashionable late for brunch. So, i connected with some friends and associates at a cake tasting. It was the perfect day for an outing with some friends we laughed and took photos (action shots). Dinner at another restaurant I have been wanting to visit. Great and of course they thought it was a " jacket required" establishment. One of my friends alleging that is all I do. Later that evening we went to see a great movie American Violet. Awesome.!!!! http://www.americanviolet.com/

So, I say that it is that time of year to begin to grab those essentials that I may have talked about once before that you will need for the colder months. Why now? Because they are putting these things on sale and you can find them for pennies. Literally! Bloomingdale's sales things for a penny. I am telling you.

Patterned v neck sweater
cashmere hoodie
cashmere hat
camel blazer
leather gloves that fit. must be smooth on the hand
corduroy jeans ( check the whales)
cashmere socks (Syms)
modern hiking boots

These are a few of the classics..

Remember I told you all about the Birkin? It is home!

I Need A TABLE NOW!

Hellooooooowwww!
I hope that all is well . Well I wanted to inform you all that the Garden at Baralo is opening very soon. http://www.nybarolo.com/events.cfm. It is very important you learn how to get a table at these great restaurants. How I know that the garden is opening and will be present? I frequent these restaurants.

OK! Here are the two ways to get the table at Le Cirque and other fine eateries.

1. In case of an emergency embark on a little story. The phone is one and going in person is another. However, you might have to slide the host or hostess a little cash. It works. It really does.

2. Become a regular! You don't even have to go for dinner. Just go to have a Shirley Temple. They will love you. Tip well. Always!

Ciao for now.

Has Spring Sprung?

Greetings ALL,
With the longing for cabriolet weather envelopes us, I am also twiddling my thumbs for the crisp evenings to divorce us.

Well with all that being said it is time for Spring Cleaning!! Yeah! YEAH! YEAH! As people of class and stature. We need to do a few things in preparation for the warmer weather.

Closets( dressing rooms) are the first things we need to do or in my case hire someone to assist. This is very important. When purging your closet, as you should your cell phone. Get rid of things that are no longer being worn. IF you didn't wear it last year get rid of it.

I DO NOT TRASH clothes. I donate or give away. I have an associate that loves my shoes. It really makes me happy to see him getting good use out of them. Besides they are great shoes. Now if they not comfortable or they're not drop dead one of kinds, to good to be true shoes............................ they gotta go! LIG................ LET IT GO!

Speaking of shoes, I recently purchased some shoes from the Gucci Outlet!!! Hmm .....Many of you didn't even know there was one. HMM! Nevertheless, these shoes are great. I will post pics later.


While you're cleaning, rid yourself of ANGER! The end result will cause you to want cosmetic surgery.
Ciao for NOW!
So many events and so many shopping outings

Lent is almost DONE!

Well, I must say that this is the first time that I have ever been able to do this ( Give up shopping for Lent). I will say that I did break, but not like I have in previous years. Thanks for the support and prayers.

Now here we are.

CLASS Is something you can not purchase, well in a sense you can. However, it is like fine wine it only get s better with time, Chateau d'Yquem 1787

On Sunday, I had taken brunch with a few friends. I had invited two friends that arrived before me and my other friends were present already. So, respecting the almighty Iphone , I used it to communicate with the two that arrived before me to connect with the other party that was very early.

Much to my chagrin, when I arrived the two that were to accompany me opted to establish themselves at a separate table. Whoopsy! That is a definite NO! I was saw floored. I had to play love to two parties.

What should one do in this situation? You already know!

Now you know I am one for easily living. I recently learned about Verizon's new home phone.
I am truly for living the good life. Hey I just learned that we were in a recession. Nevertheless, tell me what you think of this and I will provide you with my feedback

IS IT OVER YET....... IS LENT OVER YET!!!??

OK!
I almost got caught with my hand in the Herme's jar. I went to an Herme's sample sale. I had this wonderful cashmere hat in my hands. Then I received a phone call from a friend, that reminded me that I was giving up this task for Lent. I got out of line leaving this wonderful hat for someone well else that has no regard for the poor soul that had to depart without his hat.

Well when it is over,..... I am going straight to Herme's. Nevertheless, I have been really good and have saved a bunch of money. Even got that Neiman's down...... now it's minimum payment is just a car note and not a mortgage payment.

Oh by the way, I apologize for the absenteeism. I have joined everyone else with the Facebookness. I affectionately call it CRACKBOOK!

Did I tell you that I allowed my passport to expire. What an experience. Truly! I'm no longer held captive to this great country. It is truly a freeing experience to have a passport. If you don't have one, I am going to include the link once again. This for all my USA buddies. http://travel.state.gov/passport/get/first/first_830.html.

OK! I will chat with you all later.

Confession of a Shopaholic!

YES!
I am admitting that I am the above. Recently a very good friend of mine has ushered me to participate in Lent. Although, I am not catholic. I do believe in the art of FASTING! I do believe that we all should fast from something, cell phones, computers, television, coffee and shopping.

Well here is the meaning of Lent.
Lent is a forty-day period of time that proceeds the Catholic holiday commonly called Easter. During this time, observers tend to give up something they like (such as a food, like meat or certain meals or a form of secular entertainment, like television) essentially as a form of "fasting" for the purposes of getting closer to God or for penance.


So, the author of this blog started late. Now here it is! I started last Sunday. There I was standing in line with 2 great fitting shirts, a cashmere turtleneck(blue). I don't have one; and it was only $20. The prices were great. Wait, I forgot to mention the beige and white polka dot scarf and this funky black and neon green jacket. To match these sneakers.

Then the voice of reason via a friend sounded off and said, " WHAT HAPPEN TO LENT!??!?!?"
Now I am sitting here 10 days later, wondering why I am sitting in this state of withdrawal.
So, there it is.
Feedback is more than welcome. WHEW! Its getting hot.

The Grooming Process II

Here we are after this major snow storm in the Northeast and a tad bit in the Southeast. Nevertheless, I am a survivor. I didn't suffer from cabin fever. I decided to assist the middle schooler who asked to shovel my snow. He did a fine job. Hey it is recession!

I was telling you all about the grooming process. Many of you asked about the process I endure. I was a little floored, but I said, "Hey I am here to assist." I take a bath at least once a week and a shower everyday. I had to say that before some of you get the wrong idea.

I use Dial or good Ole's fashion Ivory. I don't care for those soaps that have a lingering fragrance because I wear colognes. I don't want anything to clash with my fragrances. Makes basic sense.

The face.............. Simple! Step one. Cover my face with black soap until it dries. Then I rinse with a another soap from C.O. Bigelow. http://www.bigelowchemists.com/index.php Step three I use an astringent from C.O. . Last and final step is Molton Brown lotion. http://www.moltonbrown.com/mens-grooming/face-and-body/skin-defence-daily-protector.html

That's it for now. Hey do you really want to here about my conversation with Kimberly Leemans and later with William James?
There is a complete world out here while you are sleeping. I am telling you.
I will keep you all posted on what I have given up for Lent.
