Traveling…
Busy weekend…packing for a 6am flight, leaving our family’s home at 3 in order to make it to the airport on time. The wedding was beautiful and the rain disappeared just in time. There was plenty of toasting, good things to nibble, music to bounce to, and family and friends all celebrating the marriage of […]

THE WEEKEND…
With Friday evening plans of a red eye flight to Washington DC, catching up on my book club selection, Men We Reaped, by Jesmyn Ward, recapping the weeks events, the weekend then becomes a whirlwind visiting Reggie’s family and attending a dear friend of mine, daughter’s wedding. And while the weekend will zoom by, my […]
I See All My “ALL”
Many times we see what we want to see. I see me with all my shit. I see me the one who is not on facebook, instagram, pinterest, or twitter-the me that also has fears, sadness, and doubts. I’m an ordinary wife, mother, sister, daughter, and a friend to many, with the same concerns of […]
MAKEUP- A COVER UP?
As far back as I can remember I have always loved makeup. Sneaking in my sisters makeup bag, opening the little Mary Quant compacts, and dabbing my finger into the brightly colored pigments was pure magic to a 7 year-old. A few years later to my delight my mother became a Mary Kay lady, and […]
Kicking Stones…
For me the inspiration for a post usually begins with something that I observed, read, heard, experienced or felt. Today I was thinking about milestones and how easy it is to get caught up in when certain events should happen in our lives. How you feel like a loser if you have missed some “stones” […]
The Art of Hosting
Entertaining is a way of life for me…socializing with friends “face to face” is something that I love doing, hosting meetings, girls by the pool, 54 Couture photo sessions, family gatherings, neighbors, club events, or just a friend for a cup of tea. Reggie is the same way, actually we know we both could […]
Before & After
As you all know, I am passionate about my craft, I love waking up each day and capturing images that move me or make me chuckle. Sometimes it is something silly like a sign that has a double meaning. Or this guy “rock climbing” the wall at Starbucks… Although I love taking pictures, getting in […]
Gigi’s Meanderings Around the Web # 12
I’ve been so busy lately-focusing on 54 Couture, I have not been nosing around the web, but here are a few tidbits I discovered. As you may or may not know I am a Scandal fan, and I cannot wait to watch the new one tonight. Well I guess Saks Fifth Avenue is a fan […]
LIKE MOTHER LIKE DAUGHTER
My mom will celebrate her 84th birthday on October 16th, it seems like yesterday she was a “young” woman, so different from the thin framed, white-haired lady she is today. Riverside a suburb about 45 minutes from my home is my mother’s hub, We moved there in 1977, the year I graduated from high […]
RANDOM
I feel as though I am playing catch up, from the weekend, the late nights are catching up with me, and it is times like this that I feel all my 54 years. Fall is here, Scandal will be back on Thursday, and there are not enough hours in the day to do all the […]
