Elizabeth is a self proclaimed shopping addict who is in recovery. She started a blog and swore that she would not shop for any items other than food for 365 days. Considering she had bags and bags of items that had tags still on, and articles were arriving in her closet that she didn't recognize, she knew her shopping was out of control. Elizabeth even confesses that after her 365 day shopping fast she still has articles of clothing in her closet that still have tags on. She is witty and her writing is easy and relatable even to those who are not shop-a-holics. Check it out: http://www.flourishinprogress.com

Iris Apfel Inspires and gives us all Permission to be Eccentrically Fashionable!

Iris Apfel's popularity only grows with age. Words cannot describe how much I adore this woman and her over the top fashion sense! This woman has inspired museum exhibitions, a coffee table book and fashion advertising campaigns with her more is more fashion credo! She is a true inspiration and I honestly hope that after years of surviving in this world that I will have the heart and bravery to dress just as I please. So I say, "Thank you Iris for your inspiration! It's almost as if your style gives me gentle permission to dress how I please no matter what. You seem to whisper to me, telling me delicately to ignore the judgment and have fun!"
 “I’m a geriatric starlet, my dear, don’t you know.” _Iris

'Women view her as a role model: “A lot of them have told me, ‘Now that I’ve met you, I feel so liberated.’ ” Secret eccentrics, they have learned, Mrs. Apfel maintained, “that when you don’t dress like everybody else, you don’t have to think like everybody else.”' The New York Times.

Saturday Scramble

Hello Readers and Followers, 
I feel lately as though I am constantly playing catch up and at the end of every day my head is left spinning and all I want to do is sleep and be lazy! So, I apologize for not keeping up with daily posts, as I wish I could. And thank you for your patience and loyalty to my blog. What will you be doing on this lovely Saturday night? I am going to do some much needed laundry and watch a movie with my wonderful boyfriend. Here is a Burberry photo that I think is per-fec-tion. Burberry is doing such a wonderful job of delicately incorporating bold neon color types into the scheme without it becoming cheesy, which is a perfectly mastered balance if I may say so myself! One in which I have not yet mastered :) Happy Sunday my Fashion Forward Fabulous Readers!
