We all have that one expensive item we wish to one day own before we sashay away from this glamorous world.

For some people, a pair of Prada shoes to wear in their Sunday’s best. For others, a couple of Hermes bangles for some luxurious arm candy. And though we may not have enough numbers in our bank accounts to splurge on these needs, we can still cross over and make our fantasy a reality.

I know I did.

Ever since the fashion gods cast their blessing upon me, I became obsessed over Chanel’s little black jacket.

Heart & Soul: Living in the WOW

March 26th, 2013

In 2013, we aren’t always very patient.

Fax machines aren’t fast enough, so we scan and then email whatever it is. And the email better be there in the blink of an eye (or faster), or we will be looking for a new service provider.

We don’t want to get dressed to go to the ATM to deposit a check, so we can scan it on our smart phone and the funds go right into our bank account.
We stand in front of the microwave and yell “hurry!” (Well, at least I do, but don’t tell anyone.)
