Painting the town Red

Hey Loves! It's  been quite a week. The passing of  our musical icon Prince came as  quite a shock to me.  I have always been a life long fan and had quite the collection of  Prince music. I have been enjoying my own private concert in the car on my daily commute and reminiscing about how much fun I had at those Prince concerts.

If you have ever seen Prince perform live in concert, you know what a great performer he was. I had some of his Miles Davis collaborations way before anyone even knew they recorded together and thanks to entertainment industry connections, I was enjoying these back when I was an undergrad in college and it looks like now a lot of those hidden gems are being released online.

On another note, Mothers day is right around the corner and I am looking forward to mothers day because it is always nice to be celebrated and I always look forward to spending it with my son and my mom. I have an awesome surprise for her this year.

I love this time of year with the great weather and sunshine, but it has been a little windy lately, which gave me a great excuse to wear this super cute red trench coat that a close friend of mine gave me. I wore it out and had a great time painting the town red:-)

Red Trench: London Fog, White T-Shirt: H&M, Jeans: Old Navy
 Leopard Pumps: BCBG Paris, Clutch: Target

Sometimes you can find great stuff at Target. I have had this cute little clutch for quite some time, but it found its way into my basket when I was shopping for household supplies. Do you ever go to Target for household stuff and come out with a fashion item? LOL

Red is such a vibrant and stunning color, it is like cayenne pepper to an outfit
 I seriously have a thing for trench coats and dusters and have quite the collection and am thrilled to now have this beautiful red coat

Taking a moment to relax is crucial when you are always busy

 I always enjoy those moments I can kick my feet up

 There is something sassy about red

Have an amazing day!
