If We Were Having Coffee -Vol X

September 6, 2019 by robincharmagne 4 Comments

  1. I would tell you that if you have not heard about The 1619 Project, get into it now, right now. In America we learn some things…but not all the things. I am getting a real education about the economics of slavery. It’s important and relevant for 2019!
  2. I would suggest trying these chunky funky boots for the Fall instead of a flat or an over the knee style. Pair with a funky backpack!
  3. I would say if you have financial savings goal, use an app like Qapital to meet that goal. I just met my savings goal for an upcoming trip and it was easy, peasy. Christmas is right around the corner, start saving today and by Thanksgiving, you could have all your holiday shopping funds. #not sponsored, past post here.
  4. I would confess I loved Downtown Abbey and can not wait for the movie. Big fan of period pieces – the costumes, the sets, the language, so good.
  5. I would say I am obsessed with designer cakes and this one is my favorite this week. The details make it look so life like and realistic. I would not eat a single slice.

This was a short week that felt like a super long week, like a week with 8 days. Don’t get me wrong, I’m thankful for every day and week, but sheez, quite glad this one is over. Not planning on doing a dang thang this weekend, except some self care, mostly skincare and some reading. Das it!

How was your week? Have a great weekend!

If We Were Having Coffee -Vol VII

July 12, 2019 by robincharmagne 6 Comments

Hello Pretties,

Sipping on a delicious cup of Panera Light Roast, pretty flavorful but definitely a milder taste. I am so excited to bring back this feature on the blog today. In these super casual blog posts, I share the people, places, and things that have been on my mind lately. If we were having coffee…

  1. I would tell you to watch The Black Godfather, the life of Clarence Avant on Netflix. With a ninth grade education, Mr. Avant was able to influence and connect people from all industries and walks of life. I mean including Presidents – powerful! I cried, I laughed, I cheered. It’s a worth a watch!
  2. I would tell you, there is a Nordstrom Anniversary Sale up ahead! Plaid and Animal prints are popping for the Fall. This is great opportunity to snag new boots, hoping these pink boots are in the sale. And don’t forget to check out the Home department for some home decor steals!
  3. I would tell you I have a slight earring addiction. Currently crushing on acrylic earrings, these, these and these. No matter your size, you can still rock a pair of stylish earrings.
  4. I would tell you about the fun I am having posting positive words on my Instastories…#wordsmatter!! Follow my Instagram here.
  5. I would tell you to start studying these 2020 Presidential candidates. Find which issues they “say” are important to them, e.g, women’s rights, immigration, education, health care, tax reform, etc. This election is critical, we have to make informed choices.

That’s all folks. Planning a quiet weekend, what are y’all up to? Have a good one!

If We Were Having Coffee – VI

Hello pretties,
It’s Friday and I’m sitting down with a cup of Caramel Macchiato ready to have a fab Friday! Here’s what I would share If We Were Having Coffee…

1. I think I have my blogging groove back. Yesss, it took some time to get my mind right and get all my post ideas and photos organized and planned out. But it is on now and my 5-year blogaversary is coming up to boot!
2. I love a good book, especially a book that is informative and challenges my thinking. This book The Slight Edge meets both. Simple steps you can take everyday to make positive changes in your life. Good read!
3. I am not the biggest fan of Chris Brown, but I have to say his docu-movie really opened my eyes to the perils of success for these young superstars. He is really talented – sings, dances, acts, draws, paints, and is an athlete as well. Check out Chris Brown: Welcome To My Life. If he walks the straight and narrow, he could be the next Michael Jackson!
4. I love these Gucci Marmont mules, but I found a good dupe at Charlotte Russe at a much lower price point. You be the judge…LOL
5. If you are traveling to a cool locale with a pretty language, The Urban Eve has some cool tips for learning a foreign language!

I’m ready for the weekend and ready to get out and enjoy summer! What are you doing this weekend?

1 – I would tell you getting back to blogging is harder than I anticipated. Learning how to batch process posts from ATL blogger Mattie James has really helped me get my blog posts all the way together.
2 – If you don’t buy any other shoes this season, the Block Heel is required, in multiple colors. That is all.
3 – Getting thrown off an airplane will put a big damper on your summer vacation, get to know your rights as an airline passenger. Thank me later.
4 – I was so sad to see This Is Us go on hiatus. Randall and Beth #relationshipgoals. But did you see Imposters on Bravo? So good, a combination of thriller, love story, and comedy. Oh did I mention Stephen Bishop?
5 – Maybe I am late to the party, but I am digging Bruno Mars That’s What I Like. A catchy, totally dance-able tune.

What’s on your mind?

If We Were Having Coffee IV

Happy Friday pretties,
It’s been a nice week, with some highs and lows, but mostly highs. Both are necessary to lead a balanced life so I am not complaining about any of it, but if we were having coffee…

1 – I am over the moon happy at being back to blogging. So overwhelmed by the warm welcome from, as I always say, my lovely readers and my amazing blogger friends. Y’all ROCK.
2 – Travel season is in full effect and I am ready to hit the road, hop on a plane, or take a big boat. Every season I want new luggage, not that I need another piece of luggage, but this beauty for only $25 should be coming on the road with me!
3 – Yesterday, I posted on Facebook can anybody tell me how being petty has become a “thing?” Like a badge of honor which I detest. Folk need to grow up! #notameangirl
4 – The movie The Shack opens today, sure hope it lives up to the book. And, can I just say Octavia Spencer can do no wrong in my book. Looking forward to this one!
5 – And It girl Jonelle Monae’s pixie cut is so darn cute. Totally inspired to add some hair accessories to my pixie like this one, this one or just for fun this one!

I have no plans this weekend – yep nada! In chill mode. Oh it’s Lenten season, did y’all give up anything for Lent?

Have a lovely weekend!

If We Were Having Coffee – Year End Edition

December 30, 2016 by robincharmagne 8 Comments

robincharmagne-drinking-coffee
Happy New Year’s Eve eve,
Last blog post of the year and I’m sharing my thoughts on 2016. I’m having my fave, Dunkin Donuts Original Blend, a good cup of joe!

1 – This year was challenging, terrifying, heartbreaking with the loss of loved ones – but I’m still here and stronger.
2 – You need sister-friends to lean on in tough times. Some days spent crying uncontrollably, wondering if the tears will ever end. Some days spent just talking and remembering. Whatever I needed, they were there and I love these girls forever.
3 – Actions speak louder than words. Some folk yak all the time about what they are going to do, want to do, thinking about doing and never do a dayum thing. It is not what people say, it is what they DO!
4 – Travel is my therapy. Opening the mind and heart to other cultures makes you more appreciative, patient, curious and less judgemental. God created this whole big world, why not see as much as possible.
5 – It’s cliche, but everyday is a chance to start anew and January 1, 2017 is no different. It’s never to late to start or finish. Go!

Hey 2017, bring it on!!


Wishing you peace and blessings in the New Year!

If We Were Having Coffee – Vol II

December 2, 2016 by robincharmagne 12 Comments

Hello pretties,
December!!! This is my favorite month of the year outside of July, my birthday month. What a special time when everyone appears to be more kind and loving towards one another. So besides holiday good feels, here are a few things I would tell you if we were having coffee…

1 – My Christmas tree is not up, still in the box and I am not pressed at all. Holiday decorating is on the agenda for the weekend.
2 – Does your family’s holiday traditions include an Advent calendar? Here’s one from Martha Stewart, great for getting those creative juices flowing as you countdown to Christmas.
3 – I wait all year long to watch my favorite holiday movie – An Affair To Remember. I will watch it several times until January and cry every time. Ahhh true love.
4 – These boots might be made for walking, but my wallet is telling me to walk away from this price tag. They sure are cute though!
5 – Myleik Teele is a popular Atlanta Tastemaker whose cooking snaps have me thinking I am Julie Child or somebody, but she can miss me with these nasty things, yuck, ewww. Not on my palette.

Yes I kinda have holiday on the brain but that’s a good thing. I mentioned the advent calendar, does your family have any holiday traditions?

Have a merry and bright weekend!

Hello pretties,
Happy Friday1 Let’s have a cup of coffee! If We Were Having Coffee…

I would tell you I am so disappointed in the Starbucks design for the Georgia Double Wall Traveler, rather boring design. A peach? Pretty predictable.

I would tell you on behalf of Neiman Marcus thank you for talking so much about our collard greens, they sold out!

I would tell you I am on the hunt for a dupe for these uber popular loafers. $750 is not in my price range.

I would tell you it is time start Christmas decorating. Y’all know I love pillows and this is a festive seasonal pillow in nice neutral!

What would you tell me over coffee? Have a lovely weekend!

Hello pretties,
Let’s have a cup of coffee! This might be a regular series where we just chat it up, but for now, If We Were Having Coffee…

I would tell you I am binge watching Marvel’s Luke Cage on Netflix this weekend. I have heard sooo much about this show and being a sci-fi nerd, can’t wait to watch it!

I would tell you I am on the hunt for an oversized denim jacket. The longer style to accommodate junky sweaters or a hoodie. I don’t own one, can you believe it?

I would tell you I’m trying this pretty but super easy DIY from blogger babe Faithnista.

I would tell you I want to try meal delivery service to help me with this messy diet of mine – Real Meal Delivery or Peach Dish.

What would you tell me over coffee? Have a lovely weekend!
