Magnificent Monday! Magnificent My Day!

Another weekend has come and gone. It is the dawn of a new week filled with endless possibilities and hope. I have a full week on my plate with lunches and dinners and meetings and, the best part of all #brimfield 2012 - the largest antiques show in the country, in Brimfield Massachusetts. I'll be joining thousands... millions of others, I wonder? Lovers of antiques and collectibles... designers, bloggers, stylists, writers... I will be joining some incredibly talented and wonderful people. I hope to not walk away empty handed!

I hope this is a productive week that will lead to fabulous connections, new friendships and projects galore. It will be busy. It will be a whirlwind. My feet will be sore. My head will be spinning, I'm sure. I'll be flying from excitement. I'll need to make sure that I am well rested and eat properly as I tend not to do when there's a flurry of excitement and energy around me.

At the end of the day I must take a few minutes to myself to refocus,
 regroup and recharge for the next day...

I wandered into my new local pharmacy and saw Vitabath and Kneipp products whose wonderful aromas  reminded my of my summers in the South of France as a child...
I was immediately brought to a place of happiness and relaxation!

I'm not the greatest water drinker, but the more active and the busier I am, I must force myself to drink enough... I keep a bottle in my bag and on those days when it seems I spend more time in the car, I keep a couple of bottles in a cooler with a few ice packs.

I dress comfortably but prepared to meet anyone and anything that comes my way. I'll never know when a new opportunity will present itself.

My necessary essentials:
A good pair of sunglasses. (These need not be expensive!)

Givenchy

Some fabulously fun jewelry. (Again not worth breaking the bank over.)

Kate Spade

Some fun shoes to complete your wardrobe...

Kate Spade

Flip flops. A must for me. As soon as my elegant shoes come off these come on. I have several pairs of plain white flip flops. I happen to like Old Navy's. They can be tossed in the wash! And when they start to show their age, toss 'em into the garbage!

Old Navy

I always keep trial sizes of perfumes in my bag... especially on long days.
A little spritz re-energizes your soul.

Marc Jacobs

I keep a small brush with me too, in my car or in my bag.

Mason Pearson

and don't forget to celebrate today's accomplishments... this week's accomplishments...
