This is it.
All we have is now.
Embrace.

Caftan & Mask by Fashion Designer, Caroline Ann
Staying stylish whilst working from home is really not that much of a challenge!
I know, it may seem so easy to wake up & stay in your PJs all day, I mean really, who's looking anyway?!
Your husband, partner, kids, dogs, cats, hamsters most certainly do not care!
(Maybe a little, but they're afraid to say anything!) LOL!
HOWEVER, what about those professional Zoom callers & FaceTimers?
Yep, that's what I thought too!
While most no longer need to worry about the day to day struggle of finding the perfect outfit to wear to the (in the near distant past!) regular office, we still need to get dressed for the Work from Home office!
I know, you say, 'but beat up leggings & sweats are so easy!'
Not confidence boosting though! How can you articulate & convey your brilliantness wearing 4 day old, dog and/cat fuzzed clothing anyway?
Here's a few more glamorous options! Think Caftans, Kimonos, Slip dresses, Shirt dresses & silky PJ-like ensembles. I lean more towards the one-piece dressing options these days, but comfortable multiple piece looks in great fabrics work too. Also, take the opportunity to add bold colors to the minimalistic mix!

Stay stylish & Be well.

9:39 AMCapitol de Beaute Blog by Melanie WoodroffeLiving behind a screen, whether computer, iPad and/or iPhone, isn't a bad thing, however,
I do miss being socially connected on the outside.
Life is somewhat difficult to navigate these days, but we all have many lessons to learn from all that is going on currently, and it starts with gratitude.
I am grateful for so VERY much. I thank God all day long.
Hope you are hanging in there. Blessings far & wide.
xo, Melanie

~Couture Covered Walls!!~
7:42 AMCapitol de Beaute Blog by Melanie Woodroffe
Wallpaper can turn the most ordinary room into extraordinary. In a small room, it creates exquisite expansion and dramatic color contrasts. Even better, many of the wall coverings manufactured today can be easily removed without the slightest damage, so if you get bored with one style, or decide to move, just peel!

| Ethereally Honest |
7:01 PMCapitol de Beaute Blog by Melanie WoodroffeMost of the things we know about others is all surface information.
People who we really know nothing about, only share what they wish us to see.
People we know very well hide things too.
Our lives are like little motion-activated curations of moments shared between
those we like, love, dislike, know well or do not know at all....
All hiding something.
Masks Mandates are coming! (Yay, finally!)
Stay Covid-free, but make it FASHION!
Love my stylish mask 'wardrobe' from Atlanta Fashion Designers!
The giveback factor always is an extra plus!
Here's are my latest arrivals from Nila Bolour!
Thank you so much Fatima!
So happy to support you & people you support!
They're all gorgeous!

Stay safe & well!

Difficulty finding my voice this morning,
so I went to work in my garden,
So much turmoil in the world right now
but the birds still sing
& the sky is a beautiful grey-blue today,
the gardenias are blooming.
Keep weeding out....thoughts & all.
Fresh ground & new growth will reveal itself.
xo, Melanie

Stop.
Stand here.
And breathe in
all the things
that make you grateful
for this life.

I am focused on living an unfiltered life these days.
Impossible to ignore, Change is BIG. Change is so vital to the learning experience that one MUST embrace it.
One of the most profound quotes that I use in my daily life, as a reminder of change, is by one of the greatest & prolific poets of all time and a four time {yes, I said four time!} Pulitzer Prize winner, Robert Frost.
He wrote, "The best way out is always through."
from A Servant to Servants? What does this mean in layman's term. It basically means, you must not attempt to avoid change, because we grow from it, no matter how difficult.
Change is crazy scary! As for me, I practice accepting it!
Going with the flow, I have my little silent 'freak out' moments; cry, pray, and reposition. I, like you, am merely human after all.
What have been your greatest challenges during change?
Do tell.
Stay safe & well, I look forward to hearing from you soon!
xo, Melanie

Giving back
More than 20 years ago, I came to Atlanta not knowing a soul. I started volunteering with Hands On Atlanta, and it changed everything. I’ve worked with the March of Dimes and the National Arthritis Foundation as a keynote speaker—I was diagnosed with rheumatoid arthritis at eight years old. Currently, I work with the Fashion Group International of Atlanta and American Craft Council Atlanta.

Born Again Chic...
10:17 AMCapitol de Beaute Blog by Melanie WoodroffeIt's the 'not so neat' places where I find the most gorgeous pieces. These rare finds deserve a second chance!
Like the clutch bags above. These two, found about 12 years a part. It was the color that attracted me to them. The bottom one was full of thick dust, it was absolutely filthy, but the swipe of a wet wipe revealed its true beauty, so I brought it home and cleaned really well.
The top one, with a brass closure, had a better life. Nestled in the massive closet of a stunning home and in its dust bag.
Both now equally loved the same.
Beautiful textures with a splash of vibrant color, perfect for the chic collector who loves to show off their vintage with style!

~Turquoise, Tombs and Talisman....The Timeless Tell.
11:00 AMCapitol de Beaute Blog by Melanie Woodroffe
Turquoise is a timeless color, but did you know it is also one of the oldest protection amulets to date? Considered a treasure by the Egyptians & other cultures, this gorgeous stone was mined over 6,500 years ago in Sinai, and was used in jewelry making and the protection of tombs.
Ancients say 'that turquoise protects against negativity & has a natural calming effect as well, bringing about peace and joyous energy to those who wear it.'
I love it because it is a gorgeous color, however, the added benefits make it worth wearing as well!
