Hi Pretties,
Two days, well really 1 day before Christmas! This is going to be a “lite” posting week for me with the holiday and all. By now, y’all know I love a good infographic and this one about The 12 Days of Christmas and is very cool. Not surprised at just how expensive it would to buy all these goodies, the price of a pretty nice car or a couple of years of college. This is one of my favorite carols because as a little girl, once I learned all 12 days, I really thought I was doing something…LOL!
Of the 12 gifts, what’s your favorite. I love the shiny sparkly so of course “Five Golden Rings”!!!

What an awesome gesture which exemplifies the true spirit of giving. This was no small feat for the airline either and I loved how psyched the staff was pulling off this magnanimous gift, or should I say gifts. Just amazing and a great corporate citizen.
P.S. The next time Santa asks what you want, don’t say socks and underwear!!
Have you ever been a Secret Santa? Have a lovely day!

How to Spot Fake Fashion – An infographic by the team at Farfetch
Hi Pretties,
This is an awesome(I say awesome a lot) but it is awesome! Now don’t get me wrong not knocking, “inspired” “knock-off” “fake” or whatever you want to call it. But because some of you lucky girls will give or will receive designer goods for Christmas this infographic covers everything from the logo, buttons and zippers to the fabric and even pricing. This is a pretty comprehensive tool for recognizing the real vs. a fake!
Are you giving or gifting designer goods this Christmas season? “Real or fake”? I’m just asking…LOL!
Have a Wonderful Wednesday!

Hi Pretties,
Still reeling from last’s night episode of Scandal, can’t wait for next week’s season finale! Today’s Friday Faves is cold weather gear with complimentary footwear from my fave Coach! These are great choices for every occasion and incorporate some of this season’s best trends, leather, knee boots, capes and moto jackets. I really love the leather trimmed cape that reverses to a lovely hounds-tooth, wear it very lady like with a dress or suit for day but totally edgy with a sweater and jeans at night! The pumps are my other fave, simply elegant but the gold on the heel makes these a standout! Coach is an iconic American brand that represents classic, timeless, quality fashion. My favorite combo is number 1, you can’t go wrong with leather color-block and suede tall boots.
What’s your favorite?
Have a lovely weekend!

Hi Pretties,
It’s the weekend baby, yesss! It seems like Friday got here real fast, whoohoo! It’s Friday Faves and unless you’ve been hiding on a remote island, one of the most highly anticipated movies of the year opens tonight – The Best Man Holiday!! This is the sequel to The Best Man(1999) which is about a group of friends who gather for the wedding of Lance(Morris Chestnut) and Mia(Monica Calhoun) and told from the perspective of Harper(Taye Diggs), the best man. But of course lies are told and secrets revealed as the wedding day nears. Fast forward 15 years when these friends reunite again over the Christmas holidays. All the original cast is back and I swear they haven’t aged a day. This talented and beautiful cast includes – Monica Calhoun, Morris Chestnut, Melissa De Sousa, Taye Diggs, Regina Hall, Terrence Howard, Sanaa Lathan, Nia Long, and Harold Perrineau and yet again lies and secrets abound. These two movies are really about the good, the bad, and the ugly of friendships and relationships and how real friendships and real relationships can withstand the test of time and space. Check it out at your local theater!
Have the best weekend lovelies!!
