Happy New Year...AGAIN! 2014 Year of the FABULOUS Horse!

Today is the start of the Chinese New Year, the fifteen day celebration of the Year of the Horse. The wooden horse is a symbol of luck and opportunity. I read the down side but I will let you research that on  your own.....it was not fabulous news and  I have no interest in looking into it further. I do however absolutely love the positive aspects of this creature. It is among my favorites and I long for the day when I can ride again.  Upon a bit of research I did find it appropriate to associate such good fortune with a creature that has carried us across plains, entertained us with both it's vigor, athleticism, strength and unparalleled beauty. I was utterly captivated with the gorgeous images I found and I went a little crazy with the amount I posted  below, but once you see them I think you will agree that all horses are..... FABULOUS!

Everything has a begining.....The Eiffel Tower a.k.a. La Tour Eiffel!

The Eiffel Tower or La Tour Eiffel was built in 1889 and named after the man who engineered it, Gustave Eiffel. It took 2 years 2 month and five days to build. Just imagine what you could build in just a few quick years if you worked on it everyday.....I bet it would be FABULOUS!










 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
  
 
 
 






Nearly seven million people visit the Eiffel Tower each year from all over the world. 





 


My passport is ready!

FABULOUS FROCKS.....White!

White is the epitome of chic. It works on all skin tones. It's bold yet understated. I have several staples that are white and each season I pull them out with excitement.... my favorite is a white swing coat I've had for ten years. I love thinking of ways to mix them and add them to whatever is trending. Below are a few looks that I fell in love with.....
