I am firm believer that color can have a profound effect on how we feel mentally and physically. I was feeling very happy yesterday so I wanted to wear a color that represents that mood so I opted for this gorgeous necklace and earrings that we sell on Jeluxury.com. I love this necklace because it is so bold and regal that you can’t help but feel fierce when you have it on. There is some history behind it too. It might looks like gold but it is actually a combination of glass and gilded brass beads that were cast in Ghana by a labor-intensive process termed lost-wax method. I won’t bore you with the history but if you want more information, click here to be directed to “About our Jewelry” page. If interested in purchasing this necklace, click here. The earrings and bracelets are free with the purchase of the necklace.

Necklace & Earrings: Jeluxury.com, Leather jacket: Michael Kors, Blouse (worn backward to hide the embroidery in front and show the necklace): Spense, Skirt: Zara, Shoes: Bandolino, Bag: Plinio Visona, Tights: Hot Sox, Scarf: Mossimo supply co.

Thank you.

The best thing about a plain white tee shirt is the ability to do anything you desire. I think it should be an essential part of everyone’s wardrobe because you can dress it up, layer it or high waist it. I wanted to dress up this plain white tee shirt that I got at H & M so I paired it with Jeluxury Bijoux Glass and Onyx Necklace that comes with the earrings and bracelet. If I was wearing a black dress, I would wear them all at the same time but since it is a plain white tee shirt, I decided to forgo the bracelet and earrings. Below are some pictures of my outfit on Sunday January 2^nd at F Street DC. Click here if interested in this necklace set, it is currently on sale at $44.

P.S. The bag is red but for some reason showed as pinkish-red.

Jacket/Coat: Nine West, Scarf: Oscar by Oscar De la Renta, Tee-shirt: H &M, Jeans: 7 for all mankind, Boots: Enzo Angiolini (the most comfortable boots ever!), Bag: L.A.M.B, Ring: Shablool.

Thank you and have a wonderful day.

XOXO,

 Hello,

I cannot believe it is almost the end of 2010. So many amazing things happened for me and I cannot be more grateful about it. I started Jeluxury.com in February after many years of talking and dreaming about it. It was hard working a full time job and operating a business at the same time but I wouldn’t change it for anything. I tried my hardest with the store and wish I had more time devoted to it but 2011 is another year and I hope to work harder promoting the business, adding new inventories and make money while doing it.

As I grow older I am getting to know myself more and I hope I can express myself more through fashion and my style in 2011. I want to thank my family, real friends and love of my life who brings joy to my life in 2010; words cannot express my thanks and gratitude for everything you did for me and I hope 2011 will bring you good health, happiness, good fortune or all that you wished for. I love you with all of my heart.

To Designs with Merit for building this amazing website and blog and continued support of my business. Thank you for your professionalism.

To my readers and supporters, all I can say is THANK YOU for coming here to share your comments and views; I hope you will continue to come back here. Xx  

Merry Xmas and Happy New Year!

Stripes are classic, timeless styles that will always be fashionable no matter season. I wore this Ruby Moon sweater dress few days ago for some fun with friends at the mall. Some people hate it but I personally love them because they make me look brighter and well put together. Stripes are everywhere on models and many fashion lovers like moi.

Happy Saturday!

I just love everything that Italian former Dolce and Gabanna model Giovanna Battaglia and current fashion editor at L’Uomo Vogue wears. She is one of the most stylish women to me and her looks are always elegant and innovative.

Enjoy this beautiful day.

Hello there,

I am super excited for the highly anticipated Lanvin collection for H &M hitting stores November 23.  The above ad came out recently featuring from left to right Hannelore Knutts, Jane Schmitt, Tati Collitar, and Natasha Poly. How fabulous is the actress Jane Schmitt?  I do not like waiting in lines but I might just make an exception this time plus who wouldn’t want a Lanvin in their closet? Until then…

Happy Columbus Day! 

I have secretly been stalking Cup Cakes and Cashmere blog by Emily Schuman. Her blog combines frugal finds mixed with high-end design. Her style is femininely eclectic and she manages to make everything she wears look effortless and chic. Here are some of my favorite looks of her. Have a wonderful day.

Happy Sunday!

I am sorry that I have not been blogging as much lately. I have been so busy with work and promoting Jeluxury.com that I have no time for anything else. I am grateful for what I have don’t get me wrong…

A scarf is my fall must have accessory for its versatility; that can be worn to brighten an outfit with its simplicity, boldness or drama. I love them in different colors and materials such as cashmere or silk.

Here are some of my favorites from Nordstrom and make sure you check out the sales!

Have a wonderful day.
