Treat Of the Day

Some days are just pretty by themselves, with a good chat with a close friend, or sipping your most favored coffee, or even spending time alone... but then come other days where you are surprised as those days are such which come accompanied by

"Treat Of the Day" fun and cute stuff.

This ritual of mine started a year or two ago where when I love something fun, quirky, anything that inspires me, makes me smile or something I can relate to I buy, or when someone else does something sweet for me I call it my "Treat of the day" because it made me smile!

Today's treat was this Lulu Guinness book that I am in love with to bits!

I'll share the introduction paragraph by Lulu as i find inspiring and i hope it can inspire you...

"Lulu is a fictional character, based on myself, except that she is timeless, ageless, and has long legs i can only dream of possessing. Through her I am trying to encourage you to live life with wit and wisdom, and to find the confidence to create an individual style for yourself on the outside and-- perhaps most important of all-- to have a good heart on the inside. Put on your pearls, Girls is meant to inspire you and to be proud of your femininity and to laugh at yourself with others."

What's the Occasion?

Have a high school reunion to attend this summer? A wedding? Or any Other

"Big Deal" Party? Whenever shopping, these time-tested rules by the editors of Glamour magazine:

• When in Doubt, dress up. Being a little too fancy is alway better than being the only one in jeans.
• Think long term with special event purchases. Big-night clothes are pricey,yes, but consider them investment in your social life. Go for classic shapes in neutral colors so that you can make them look new with each accessory change.
• Don't buy something you need to lose weight to fit into. Tell yourself you'll diet your way into it, but why? The last thing you want is to reach to the big day and discover you need pliers to zip up your dream dress. Buy what fits.
• Remember, lingerie counts. (And if you follow one rule, this is it!) Nighttime clothes often pose a set of lingerie challenges totally different for your day stuff- you might need a halter or something strapless on the top; bulge-control or entirely seamless piece on the bottom. The point: shop for these pieces in advance, and wear them when you try on your "Big Night" outfits.
