Do you ever wonder where the super chic people get their fashion?
Always looking way ahead of all trends & fads of the moment & oh so polished?!
Well, they shop wisely for key pieces; mix in the vintage (i.e., Mom's 1960's precious pink pumps with a Hanes for Men white tee, dark denim flared jeans from the depths of the closet & a black motorcycle jacket found at Goodwill!)
Throw on some great jewels, a layered mix with old & new!
And out the door they go, a fashion icon in their own right!
Look through your closet & go through your jewels, think about how you would change YOUR individual style, without the influence of trends or others!
Go do it, and send me pics!
p.s. not sure about where to begin?....check out one of my favorite websites for individual style! www.etsy.com/shop/lamixx

A girl could easily become overwhelmed with envy with all things Bren, however, she is so incredibly smart, laid-back, and humble, it is impossible to feel anything other than good around her!
As a Culinary Genius..an Esteemed Writer..a Food Blogger..the Creator of B So Chic..a Designer..a Visionary..AND a World Traveler {I could seriously go on and on!} Bren is by far, one of the most interesting people on the planet!
And guess what this lucky girl {me!} and friends {Vanessa & Daniel!} did this week?
We got a sneak peek inside the mega closet of Bren, and oh my goshey, what a closet it is!
{Actually, I lied about the "peek" part, we were in her closet from 10:30 p.m. until 4:00 a.m.!!}
Known for making Flan in heels, she MUST have all those shoes! Being oh, so chic is part of her job!

Beautifully tiled lampshades created by Benjamin Hubert Roofer & Genius for Fabbien....
{friday morning, April 1st, 2011}
very early, my home....
blue hues illuminated by lamp light
everyday I fall in love all over again with the things I hold sentimental.
Sometimes I like to sit with my coffee & reflect back to when it was given to me, or how excited I was to find it!
The lamps were a gift from my dear, longtime friend David of Julian Chichester furniture.
Julian is a remarkable furniture designer & I was blessed with meeting him when he first came to America.
I have many of his pieces, and adore them all!
David and I have been friends for many years now, and when I think back through those years, tears swell in my eyes.
I am blessed with amazingly talented & creative people in my life, and they do not go unappreciated!
Friendships are so very vital for human survival.
Hold on to them dearly, as they are part of your legacy.
The photo above is my antique decanter collection.
I started collecting when I was in my teens & a few were at least 60 years old when I found them!
My Auntie gave me the amber Murano glass over 20 years ago, it adds a nice contrast to the pale ones I usually collect!
The blue ones were found at Goodwill many years ago.
"I thank you God for this most amazing day, for the leaping greenly spirits of trees, and for the blue dream of sky and for everything which is natural, which is infinite, which is yes." ~E.E. Cummings
