Musings about NYC Fashion Week

Someone described
my blog posts as "The Ramblings of a Crazy Woman".

LOVE THAT.

You get me!!!

So what, you may ask, am I going to talk about today?

Good question.  Thanks for asking.

I'm going to talk about "Who decides what is the latest fashion Trend?"

For those of you that care, you are aware that this is NYC Fashion Week.  Apparently up in NYC there are STICK THIN people parading up and down run ways-wearing what we are suppose to wear in the coming "Season". 

First of all.....Who put you in charge of my wardrobe?

Second....If "I'm" supposed to be wearing that particular item, why is a SKINNY person wearing it?  Did you make it in MY size?  Didn't think so.

Third....WHAT were you Thinking!!!

In all honesty, I haven't seen any of the fashions.  I know a fabulous girl that lives in NYC that is up on all "That is Fashion".  If you really care, check out

The only thing I have seen is the following:
NY Fashion Week News
From Glamour Mag:
"Fall 2013 trend: turtlenecks
 
"NYFW is the fashion industry’s favorite excuse to put together the most stylish outfits possible, which naturally means that statement jewelry abounds."

"The single biggest jewelry trend was the chandelier earring. Elaborate drops were the go-to item for major fashion impact."

"Chandelier earrings add lots of sparkle and luxury to the most casual of outfits. Pair the earrings with a dazzling ring for a truly extravagant look."
The information about the JEWELRY is what is interesting to me.   
For the few of you that do not know, I represent a Fine Fashion Jewelry Company called Jewels by Park Lane ( here after known as Park Lane)  Park Lane is always ON TREND.  We have jewelry already in our catalog to compliment the new seasons fashions and beyond.  
So NYC Fashion Week....say what you will about my clothes.  At least I know I will be IN STYLE with my jewelry.

Homework and beginings

Definition of BLOG

: a Web site that contains an online personal journal with reflections, comments, and often hyperlinks provided by the writer; also : the contents of such a site
blog verb
blog·ger noun
blog·ging noun

Origin of BLOG

short for Weblog
First Known Use: 1999
Now that we have that Housekeeping out of the way.....why am I here?  (More importantly, why are YOU here?  There must be more important things you could be doing? We will discuss your lack of a life or morbid curiosity later.  This is all about ME after all)

I am here because a wise and successful woman told me I should create a blog.

It will help your business, she said.

It is a powerful web tool, she said.

It is your homework, she said.

I don't want to get yelled at tomorrow, I said.

Actually,  I've had blogs before. 
 I Scrap 4 Love.....anyone??  Bueller???
My famous blog during my Home Decor career. Something about a Willow.  ????  Who can remember? More importantly, who cares?  Surely not the Home Decor company as they are out of business. Closing the Home Decor Company to put all their eggs into a Jewelry Business. Which, ironically, brings us full circle to the reason we are here but more about that in due time.

My new blog will be the ramblings of a woman on the other side of 50.  Now before all the young people go screaming for other more youthful blogs.....I am actually a 17 year old trapped in a 55 year old body.  Well, my husband has told me that I need to change that to a 27 year old trapped in a 55 year old body.  Something about the fact my daughter is now 25 and I can't be younger that she is.

Hog wash!

As you will learn, if you stick around, I march to my own drummer.  If I want to be 17....17 then I shall be. 

Well at least until I try and get up off this couch and my fluffy, old body creaks and groans all the way across the room.

So......anyway.....what was my point?

My point is-- that this blog will be my observations on Life, Love, Humans, TV, Cats, Business, Family, Friends and anything else that crosses my mind.  
Occasionally, I will share a Tip or Two about Fashion....because who doesn't want advice from someone that has lived long enough to see some trends come back around the block a time or two!

As for the Title of my new Blog.....it's a play on words....a tease of why I'm here...but we will leave that for another day.   Yes, I know the blog is suppose to help my Business.  It would be kind of rude to throw that down your throat on our "First Date".  Let's get to know each other first.
