Style: Revving Up the momentum

I’ve noticed its been quite a moody Monday for most people I see out there, a psychological Monday blues thing or is it just too much partying over the weekend?

I do hope you lovelies reading this will have a good Monday or had a good Monday start to the week

I did not get my usual 7 hours sleep, I lost 2.5 hours of sleep because both my kitties were crying scared of the howling wind and my dearest Richard had Major Snore visiting… yes, I woke up grouchy but I fought that demon to get my equilibrium on track before my fuse fused ~ begone you Monday demons, take that, HAH!

Moving forward and continuing my feature of the simple white shirt for the week, let’s give the white shirt ensemble more oomph to rev up the week!

XO JR ❤

Style: Peach in Seville

This beautiful piece has been running in my head all day ~ it’s something from my memory bank that is looping in my head cause Richard majored in classical composition and guitar, and this is one of the many beautiful classical guitar pieces we have accumulated in our music library. He doesn’t play anymore, something I really hope he will one day do again. But nonetheless, I must share this inspiring music, titled Sevilla, composed by Isaac Albeniz and performed by the legendary John Williams from Australia now living in UK.

Here’s a mix of casual luxe styling to roam in peach amidst the awesome architecture of Seville, Spain.

Enjoy ~ XO JR ❤
