Simple Sweetness

When I count my many blessings, I think of the super creative circle of people I choose to be around.  My friend Shyla runs a clever and fresh event company called Consciously Chic Events

She knows that sometimes the simplest ideas are the best. This one is a crowd please’r across generations.

Simply wash and remove the stems of some fresh organic (it’s worth it) strawberries and pat dry.

Spoon a big heaping mound of greek yogurt into a bowl.  I like Fage, the consistency is sooo good.

Spoon another big heaping mound of brown sugar into another bowl.


Line all up in close proximity on a pretty tray.

Dip the strawberries into the yogurt and then into the brown sugar.

There you have it. Delicious, simple, dessert

Charitable Consulting

My true passion lies in fundraising.  I believe humanity is fundamentally driven by a desire to make a difference.  It is such a privilege and honor to help facilitate non-profit organizations in full-filling their missions.

I have over 14 years experience in the major and planned giving field representing voluntary health organizations, the arts, education and religious organizations.

C. Lilly, LLC  provides charitable consulting services to advise and lead non-profit organizations through strategic and powerful fundraising strategies.

“I don’t think you ever stop giving, I really don’t.  I think it’s an on-going process.  And it’s not just about being able to write a check.  It’s about being able to touch somebody’s life”–Oprah Winfrey

 

 

Squeal For Teal

Looking for a now/wow colour to punch up the chic factor in a space?  Might I suggest teal?  This particular hue seems to be enjoying a nice renaissance if you ask me.  Check it out:

That teal glossy paint, those decadent looking velvet chairs!  The teal & green is a recurring theme you’ll notice below too.  Love.

The above room is nothing short of handsome.  The wall color is so great as a back drop to make art pop.

 

Isn’t Anthropologies’s styling the best?

And this room with the gorgeous paneling, the amazing ottoman, the drapes, the pillows and more…

Can’t decide what I go insane over the most in this room, the sophisticated and amazingly beautiful closet?  The teal pouf, the rug, the chandelier, the piece of art perfectly angled for inspiration…

And finally this last image, teal painted paneling once again, set against primary colors, it just works!

Teal: The Real Deal.

 

Best Web Resource for Fashion Week

Two posts in one day, but I couldn’t resist; this is the best web resource that I’ve found so far for Fashion Week:

New York Mag 

You can scroll through the designers alphabetically to check out all the collections.  There’s even a tab for “front row,”  how fun is that?

Love this sherbet-ish color block short look from Luca Luca

Feels like it translates well into normal life without being too “runway aloof”

There are eee-gads more looks to peruse!  Oh, I wish I was there in person!  Someday…

Enjoy checking out all the shows.

Loafing Around

Flat shoes are my reality for the next probably 1/2 year at least.  T.G. fashion is on my side.  Loafers are back, baby!

You know when a look is so disgustingly over-the-top-preppy, that it’s absolutely irresistible?

That’s the way I feel about loafers.

I love these needlepoint black and white geometrics below…


and the (LL Bean inspired) Labrador look below.  Yes, I really would wear these.  I’m looking for some whale ones currently too.

from the Pink Monogram

Tweed and studded ones from J.Crew scream Fall and perfectly mix classic elements with an edge.

Always count Tod’s to be right in on the action when it comes to loafers–animal print and loafer, like 2 birds/fall trends with one stone!

There’s something really sweet about these pink ones, Oh and P.S. they are really affordable @ Nordstrom (like $50ish)

I LOVE these red patent Prada loafers.  Hear that Honey?  Do I get a discount if I need just one?

Here’s to some new kicks!  Happy Weekend.
