The ring master

Hey friends,

Today I will talk about finding,loosing,winning,searching.

I 've lost a piece of jewelery twenty years a go and I already have given up finding it.

I am very good on loosing things and even worse : not keeping and worst not finding.

Sometimes I do realize that I am careless,reckless or just do not seem to care.

I do!!!

I am organized (or I think I am just because my closet is pristine).

Sometimes just because I love it so much I hide it from myself.

Books filled with important papers,endless boxes filled with more Little boxes filled with my beloved jewelery.

I love rings! They can be expensive or not they just symbolize so much to me, like my tattoos...

Anyway 2 weeks ago I had a dream about my precious old ring, long lost,long gone,long forgotten.

I decided to search,research and turn my life into a mission to find "the " ring.

Of course I've found my old passport,my favorite picture,my expired Amex, an old tiara...

The more looked the more frustrated I became.

My search brought me to a trip and evaluation of my life.

Why so many shoes and bags? Why so many long dresses? Why so much????

Do I really need it? What about my decision to live simply? What about my mantras?

After all said and done , when I was no longer looking or trying to keep I found "the" ring!

I forgot how beautiful, how rich and how important it is to me.

Every stone was there and is still shinning!

Since them is on my finger, I will not let go this time, I will not trust my memory or my Little boxes.

I remembered how and why I got it.

The "ring" is here to stay.

The "ring" is now officially back in my life.

Am I a nostalgic? So what?

Everything else still missing...

Love and nostalgia,

Fabiana

Sleeping Beauty...

Hi everyone!
Miss my blog...
Anyway, any who, anybody and everybody!
Let's talk about sleepwear!
YOU have to sleep pretty and beautiful.
No more: sweat pants, husbands/boyfriends ragged t -shirts
(promo tees is a sin), mu mus, any piece of garment with bleach stains on it hair up, bad breath.
You are not 18 anymore so forget pink with flowers, sponge bob pj's. Save the flannel when he goes way on a trip, I know and admit that nothing better than a old flannel worn pj's but again save for those days that you will be sleeping alone.
Make an effort to look great when in bed: brush your hair, your teeth and USE mouth wash, Use tinted lip balm.
Pick a special night and wear silk , always have a robe handy ( we get cold I know).
Anniversaries and Valentines day : Please enjoy it take your time and make the time.
Surprise him make him feel wanted , sex is great and healthy so lets get to work ladies.
Coupling is made out of trust so between four walls and your man everything goes.
If you sleep alone :do it for yourself, nothing makes me feel better than after a long bath, I treat myself with a glass of wine, my favorite perfume and my silk robes, just love it!
Bedding is important too and your bedroom should be your safe haven , invest in 2 sets of linens they should coordinate, a good down comforter (just don't co crazy with the colors) and you will be all set.
One day I will find my prince...
One day I will wear silk everyday...
One day I will celebrate Valentines day...
One day I will wear flannel pj's?

Have good night sleeping beauty!

The Black tie has changed...

The Black Tie has changed...

hey all,

I recently went to a Black Tie event and I was shocked!!!!
How many times WE have to tell you:
YOU are not allowed to:
Prom dresses, bridesmaid dresses (specially if they do not fit anymore), gloves on, strass (aka fake bling), tiaras, poly, jersey, sports jackets,

bobby pins showing, too much fur, shoes matching the dress,please keep them on!!!! oh mine I could on forever.

Be respectful to your host/hostess if the event says Black Tie enjoy, be grateful.
They want Black Tie for a reason so treat yourself and others, get you hair done and make up.
Cocktail dresses are allowed just be tasteful, if you have to break the rules a bit do it with confidence.
Leave the pearls at home, they are too predictable, add a broach to your hairdo or feathers.
Instead of a Little black Bag, get a clutch in a vibrant color and a good size so you can fit your necessities in there (gloss, keys, ID, crispy $100.00 bill and maybe a pressed powder for a quick touch up).
Mingle, introduce yourself, now is time to network.
Dance with the bold, the bad and ugly.
If it rains get wet.
Smile often, shake hands with confidence with both hands (president's shake).
Say hello and goodbye, always send a thank note and if you can flowers.
Leave with dignity.
Don"t drink and text, don't drink and flash...
Have some good wine and never ever drink beer.
I borrowed my dress and paid for my cab.
I went by myself and went home alone,
I had fun and can not wait for my next Black Tie.
Should I give the dress back??

Let me know,

Fabiana

CHANGES

Hey yous,

I recently move to a new state and a new city...

Changes all around and a lot evaluations in all aspects of my life.

Moving, filing, the "Art of getting rid of " !

Learning to maneuver a new culture and demographics.

Fashion recession and the lack of, disc man and Walkman, funny packs and a large

amount of black parkas...

Lower speed and not a lot thank yous.

Common denominator: All customers are the same!

The brides still annoying, the man still confused about sizes, black is the new black.

I am praying for survival...

Please feed me!

Love and change,

Fabiana
