COCO CHANEL

"There have been several Duchesses of Westminster but there is only one Chanel."

Coco Chanel

Chanel bags are truly timeless. They have represented luxury and fashion for over 50 years. A 50 year old Chanel bag is more desirable today then it was then. A Chanel bag serves as an antique item…a collectors product, something to hand down to your daughter and granddaughter.

That reminds me that I need one...

Hm...Maybe I should write Santa or something...

 

The Chanel bag...

If there is one thing that would easily come to mind when someone says “Chanel”, it would probably be the image of their most iconic bag, the 2.55.

Morning's mood

I'm pretty sure today is a beautiful day.

It's still morning, so it's not quite

deep enough into the day to tell,

but I think it will be.

And I don't mean beautiful as in sunny

and warm and refreshing

with a slight breeze.

I'm not talking about the weather.

I think today is going to be beautiful

for all its mundane moments.

Today's little things -- books to read,

places to go, food to eat --

have started to gather and

it's gonna be good.

I can tell.

And you know what,

to heck with all of that,

I want to create meaning and

substance and depth from nothing.

I want to do it everyday.

I want to live my life looking

for redemption in a sprinkler

and transcendence in the steam rising

from a pot of boiling water.

I want to look for God in the rain

that is just about to drop from

the heavy clouds at this very moment.

So maybe I am talking about the weather.

No turn on red

I've been noticing more and more,

The middle of the week

It may only be the middle of the week

but we’ve already got our weekends planned

and are super eager to kick-start a knees up.

But there’s only one qualm we need to sort

before we go wild – what to wear?

We have two days to arrange a killer style ...

Indian Summer

If this Indian summer is giving you the itch to get away - let's go.

If your life is as hectic as mine, then the weekends are the stuff your dreams are made of.  There's nothing better than letting loose for both days, so why not truly get away from it all.   You don't need a big budgets and schedules,  call for something a little more, well, convenient. Enter the Austria — our neighbors to the south know a thing or two about easy livin', and the scenery and fresh air can't be beat.

A trip along the Austrian Danube unfolds like a treasured picture book. Roman ruins (some dating to Emperor Claudius), remains of medieval castles-in-air, and Baroque monasteries with "candle-snuffer" cupolas perching precariously above the river stimulate the imagination with their historic legends and myths.  If your schedule allows  gives more time to take in the picturesque vineyards and the castles perched on crags overlooking the river.

 

These activities are all perfect for a fall getaway. Can you say foliage?

Happy weekend

I can’t believe it’s already October, can you?

The time is passing by like mad

and this is just another reminder to enjoy every moment,

stop and smell the flowers, listen to the birds chirping

and breathe in the fresh air like there’s no tomorrow.

That’s what I’m wishing you all for this weekend

and for every single day – life is too short,

let’s not miss all this bliss..

HAVE A HAPPY WEEKEND

The most beautiful day

As you fall asleep, say,

"I will sleep deeply and wake up

full of energy.

Tomorrow is going to be

the most beautiful day of my life."

Good night!
