My First Giveaway: Designer Spotlight-Stylish Mode

For this Wednesday’s Designer Spotlight post I’m highlighting a shop called Stylish Mode.  Stylish Mode designs and creates beautiful headbands made from top quality, designer fabrics and I’m styling one of them for you in today’s DAY style.  But not only am I styling one of Stylish Mode’s beautiful, handmade products, but Wrinkled Chiffon and Stylish Mode have teamed up to offer a $50 Gift Certificate for use on Stylish Mode!  What a great way to kick off your Fall season style!

The headband I’m styling is a 2-inch fabric headband in the most popular color of this Fall season – Bordeaux!  If you have not yet noticed this deep, red wine color taking over all the major fashion stores, you soon will.  I recently purchased a Bordeaux-colored mini skirt, which I found next to a Bordeaux-colored sweater, Bordeaux-colored shift dress and a Bordeaux-colored scarf!  My hubby even jumped into the trend and purchased a Bordeaux-colored belt…which I borrowed for today’s style.  So have a great Wednesday and good luck in winning my first giveaway here on Wrinkled Chiffon!  Please see the entry rules below.

Remembering Graceland

When I was little, my mom introduced my sister and I to Elvis Presley.  My mom grew up loving Elvis and his music and one of my favorite memories is of her dancing around the house to “Jail House Rock”…of course my sister and I would always join in, giggling and pretending to hold a microphone in our hands.  Next, came our first Elvis movie, “Viva Las Vegas”!  I can still remember dancing in front of the T.V. to Elvis singing his heart out to win the affection of Ann-Margret.  Then a couple of years ago, before my husband and I moved to Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, we went on a US cross-country adventure and one of our stops was…yes, you guessed it – Graceland!  So in today’s PLAY style, I’m remembering our trip to Graceland while wearing a t-shirt I picked up in one of the many gift shops in Memphis, while “Viva Las Vegas” plays in my head.

Just another Monday evening

Tonight we went to dinner in SOHO (South of Hollywood Street) on Hong Kong Island and then walked to Victoria Harbour to view the fireworks for Chinese National Day.  It’s hard to believe as we were standing in the dark with thousands of people watching these amazing fireworks (that I could literally feel in my chest) that my family and friends on the east coast of the US were just waking up to enjoy their coffee, start their day, or heading off to work on Monday morning.  Sometimes I still can’t believe I’m on the other side of the world from where I grew up, but I still feel so close and connected to home.  I guess home is always where your heart is…
