~Late Summer Blues!!~August & Everything after...
6:22 PMCapitol de Beaute Blog by Melanie Woodroffe
The month of August is
a beautiful limbo in-between seasons for me, style-wise. No longer interested
in buying Summer clothes, it's the perfect opportunity to shop for beautiful
& elegant
pieces that will
transition from warm days to cooler nights and beyond.
With Fall right around
the corner, I've taken a whim to hues of rich blues! My most favorite
colors are variations that remind one of the Aegean sea and the islands
peppered around it. Imagine the ocean, mixed with deep blues and sprinkled with
vert green, burnt orange coral, rust and sand beige! So lovely!
One of my 'go-to'
pieces for the season {see image!} is a gorgeous viscose chiffon kimono from Uncommon Goods, it's infused with
all of the colors I mentioned above and has a beautiful paisley print, flowing
sleeves and a sweeping length AND it incorporates two amazing, versatile trends
for Fall 2015; the kimono and the paisley print!
As part of my
signature style, I like to add either a vintage, sustainable and/or handmade
piece or two to every outfit I wear! I love Uncommon Goods Social Mission of supporting
artisan suppliers, sustainability, recycling and reuse. As you all know, from
my past posts, giving back & building community is very important to
me. Shopping, with this in mind, makes purchasing easier and I really feel good
about what I'm wearing.
Shown here, with my Kimono from Uncommon Goods, is a collection of vintage necklaces I love to wear with it.

~Quotes that Rock on the Monday after a Great Weekend that included ZERO lousy Presence!!~
9:34 AMCapitol de Beaute Blog by Melanie Woodroffe
It's a mouthful, but you get it!
Give the Gift of your Absence
to those who
Do Not Appreciate your Presence.
When I was younger, I wanted to twirl a baton, so my Mom bought me one. She was a former majorette & she taught me to twirl & I practiced everyday.
While learning, I broke a lamp in the living room, put several dents in the ceiling, hit myself in the face more than one hundred times, knocked over glasses on tables & for a short period, had the baton removed from my hands & put in the closet due to overuse.
The point is, I can still twirl. So through perseverance, I learned something new!
What ever you are passionate about, stick with it, you never know when & where it may come in handy. No, twirling did not bring me monetary riches, but I did end up twirling in one of the Macy's Day Thanksgiving Parades!
Great experiences & happiness are way more valuable than money.
Learning new things are priceless & it worked out perfectly!
