The Weekend . . .

This past week has been a week to plan, gather my footing and prepare to head out full steam ahead to the next adventure.  Such weeks are a gem to appreciate because they don’t happen that often; however, when they do, it is a wonderful time to regain your focus, be clear about what it is you want to accomplish and how exactly you are going to go about making it happen. 

For me if the weeks and days go whizzing by, I lose my footing and tend to spend time on things that don’t have much importance or slow me down.  Ultimately, it is up to each one of us to take control of the pedals of our vehicle. Slowing down when are minds and bodies need to rejuvenate and revving back up when our energy is available and opportunities come knocking.

I hope this past week has gone well for you, and if you’re like me, you’re enjoying all of the new fall fashions that have been coming out of New York.  Below are a list of links to all of the collections that I felt were worthy of the distinction – simply luxurious, as well as the regular week’s posts:
