Gumdrops are falling on my GZ

Well Giuseppe Zanotti has done it again with these Yellow Strass Suede Caged. I instantly fell in love with these and they look like they should be part of an edible collection from Jelly Belly. These sandals are standout on their own so it's something to keep in mind when you dress them up. Let me know what you think of them.

Help for Haiti

Today I took the initiative to start a fundraiser within my work to help support relief efforts. If you've been looking to make a difference at work or be recognized this is a great time! Every penny counts! It may seem miniscule but if you could see the big picture you would be Amazed. Don't be afraid to research and see if your company will match donations. This is what I put out to the departments on my floor and I hope that this news spreads like wildfire I have no problem taking orders for a GREAT cause. Take a read you can do the same too:

Hi All,

I’m assuming by now you’ve heard of the devastation that occurred in Haiti on January 12, 2010. If not here’s the synopsis:

An earthquake measuring 7.3 on the Richter scale hit the capital city of Port-au-Prince and other areas through out the country. The Prime Minister estimates that ‘hundreds of thousands are dead’.

The Republic of Haiti is the poorest country in the Americas and one of the worlds poorest and least developed, with the average person living on approximately $2.00USD per day. The costs of a regular coffee from Second Cup or Starbucks and let’s not mention specialty coffee and so forth.

I know we’ve stretched you for the passing holiday season but “If you have much, give of your wealth; if you have little, give of your heart.” ~Arabian Proverb

I’d like to motivate you by offering you the opportunity to purchase some of Haiti’s most important export, coffee. I’ll be bringing in carafes of coffee for the cost of the average Haitian daily living expense this Friday, from some of the worlds most famous coffee houses. Caring is sharing, so, if you spread the word maybe you and your fellow colleagues can enjoy a cup of java and maybe some pastries or baked goods (to all our bakers and pastry chefs) friday morning while you discuss your weekend plans.

Let’s take the opportunity to utilize the (Company name) Foundation. For our contributions the foundation will match and find the best means of providing support to help the country. You can also donate at www.redcross.ca or www.unicef.org.

Nobody can do everything, but everyone can do something. ~Author Unknown

Sincerely,

Monique

DVF caught my eye

Josun Dress

I believe I may have first seen this dress on a post from WWW. Therefore, I must give credit where it's due.
I have never been a fan of Diane Von Furstenburg much less acknowledged her design style. However, I have to admit while looking through some of the dresses on my favorite site, one particular style caught my eye. Then as a continued to peruse I noticed another and I have to say I've become a fan of what I'd like to call DVF colourful, feminine, classic designs.

Spring and Summer are shortly around the corner. I definately can picture myself on a patio, sipping iced tea and chatting it up with friends in either one of these dresses.

Socionomics?

What does this means? How does it ? I've looked in Wikipedia, and the Merriam-Webster dictionary to find a definiton much to no avail. However, this subject has become marketings new tool.

Socionomics: Socionomics is the study of social mood and its results in social actions. It studies how waves of endogenously regulated social mood in turn regulate changes in the economy, political preferences, financial markets, pop culture, etc. (Socionomics Institute, 2008)

Take a look at how that impacts you.

Fascinating Facts!

I was shown this presentation at my works recent Townhall meeting and found the information to be very interesting. Let me know what you think!

A Shower of Blessings to you for 2010

To My Family and Friends:

May peace break into your house and

May thieves come to steal your debts.

May the pockets of your jeans become a magnet of $100 bills.

May love stick to your face like Vaseline and

May laughter assault your lips!

May your clothes smell of success and

May happiness slap you across the face and

May your tears be that of joy.

May the problems you had forget your home address!

In simple words ............May 2010 be the best year of your life!!!

Jer 29:11.."For I know the plans I have for you declares the Lord, Plans to prosper you and not to harm you, Plans to give you hope and a future.
