My New Ritual!!!!!!!!!!

New music alert...Little Dragon has released their latest album Ritual Union. I discovered Little Dragon last summer while grooving to a Pandora mix(J*Davey-check them out too) and was pleasantly, caught off guard when I discovered this big voice, coming from a little woman. I was immediately taken!!! Little Dragon is a mix of electronica, soul, and acid jazz(does anyone remember that music genre). Check it out for yourself here! Some of my highlights on this latest installment include the title track: Ritual Union, Nightlight, and Brush the Heat. Now, I realize this may be an acquired, musical taste, but open your ears and broaden your horizons and check out Little Dragon! Great musicians and great lyrics! And I hear they are even more awesome in concert! I plan on checking them out next time they are in my city, how about you? You're in for an ear-full-surprise!!!

Little Dragon

Check out my favorite album: Self-titled Little Dragon-Constant Surprises is so right on time and my all time Jam!

Hue Nude!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Rihanna in Soft Pink and Nude Heel

June Ambrose in Nude Mini Frock

Tyra in Nude Sheath

I'm baaack!!!!!!! Vacay was excellent! Caught up on some reading, had some mock-tails, and lounged beach side...What more could one ask for(pics and highlights to come)? While reading through all my fashion mags, I couldn't help but pick up on one common denominator--Nude Hues--a staple for Fall '11!!! I personally am in love with the flesh tones, especially when it comes to the shoes! Nudes are a great transition item and work on just about any skin tone-Who Knew?! Not really sure how the Nudes will work for you? Go for a soft pink shade instead; same effect and still works for fall! I got these for a steal of a deal at Bloomies! Not sure when I will be wearing them given my current state, but that's the thing about Nudes, they are timeless and a wardrobe staple. One cant go wrong with this muted tone! Here are some options to get your color palette working...

Soft Pink Midi My Fave!

MAC Cherish-Nude Lip- Great Color!

Off to the Beach!

As of late, my girls have been accusing me of being "out to lunch!" Im not sure if it's being 30+ weeks preggers, the heat, a 2 year-old, or just D, all of the above!!! Mostly, I think my mind is on V for Vacation, which I am so very much in need of...So, don't be alarmed, but MMC will be on hiatus for the upcoming week! As we will be fun'n and sun'n on the lovely, quaint island of Nevis!!! I will miss you all and I promise to return, well rested and fully cognitive...Well, maybe just well rested!!!!

Live Long and Vacation Well!!!!!!!!!

I Just Can't Wait!!!!!!!

One Fall-Fabulous Color!!!

As fall approaches, my fashion eye can't help but take in all the fun, fall, vibrant colors!!! At the top of my list of Must Have Fall items...Orange Pants!!! I first caught a wonderful glimpse here, at a great blog Coco+Kelley! I am really loving the color orange as of late. It's so festive, bright, and warm! It looks great against most skin tones and pairs fantastically with fuchsias, emerald greens, and electric blues-all top colors for fall! Try a cigarette pant like this one or go for a wide leg, like this one! At this point, I'm not really able to get into either style, but here's hoping for late fall and even early winter(baby weight blues). Until then, I hope to see some of my most stylish girlfriends, rocking some Orange!!!

Live Long and Explore Orange!!!!!!

Clutch On To This!!!!!!!!!!!!

Colorful Clutches

Summer is hot and so is the clutch handbag! Simple, chic, and so functional!!! What's even hotter in the world of clutch bags are their bright colors and my favorite...Color blocking, click here to put your creative juices to work!!! Not really in the mood for DIY, well I have found a lot of fabulous clutch options to suit just about any one's wardrobe! I love clutches for nights out with the husband or dinner with the girls or just for quick runs with the son! It's such a great style option and since they vary in size, you can still carry your whole life (if you're anything like me) in your handy dandy clutch, if you like! Now, lets get to some bags, so hold on for the ride...
