CdB~Strive to be different, it's more fun!
10:23 PMCapitol de Beaute Blog by Melanie Woodroffe Interesting theory about where many of us are at this moment....try this....
all that it involves is blocking out that 0.2% of your brain that cooks up ideas that harm others....
You will like what you discover....
Others will probably appreciate having a conversation with you that isn't combative....
What a relief?
right?
Ideas? Talk about toast....the blue sky & clouds....maybe the smile on a child's face, or the old men playing chess in the park & their heartfelt laughter....go crunch the Fall leaves under your feet, and breathe the crisp air....Try to avoid letting anything negative slip from your lips....it will take practice....you will encounter those who will provoke you....rise above....
What if we sent nice vibes out into the universe all at once, and it made a happy difference....worth a try, right?....
I think the world would open up to many beautiful things for you....like feeling good about your extra effort to make a difference.
Mychael Knight, the handsome prodigy
from Season 3 of Project Runway is a visionary!
He has well-surpassed the ranks of PR3 to become one of the more accomplished folks from the popular & extremely dramatic show about emerging fashion designer wannabes!
The reason being is his ability to foresee fashion, future forward!
Last month in NYC during Fashion Week, he placed himself way ahead of the glamour game with the creation of the very versatile, yet classic
two{squared}
dress.
With a price point of $79.99, this dress can be worn many ways, and CdB loves a 'last forever' key wardrobe piece!
Kudos Myke!

May not be the kinda 'Mary Jane' that you are thinking of....wink wink....however, for us fashionistas, the following may be just as intoxicating as the other Mary Jane.....Pair with skinny jeans or a pencil skirt & opaque tights, then add a frilly blouse & voila!

Love's got a hold on me, baby,
Feels like a ball and chain.
Oh, love's holdin' on to me,
Feels to me, oh like a ball and a chain,
Honey somethin' will grab around the knees, grab me in my heart,
Feels to me like a ball and a chain now,
Yeah, alright, yeah!
~Excerpts from Janis Joplin's Ball & Chain
