IN THE MOOD FOR LIT PHOTOS (LUMEE)

It isn't always easy to get a great photo, especially at night inside or outside. That's why this gadget, the LuMee iphone/Samsung Galaxy case, grabbed my attention. The phone case literally is "lit" because it illuminates adding essential extra brightness for quality photographs. No more million attempts to get just one adequate photo. I also like how this started out as a photographer's simple idea then evolved as a new product and caught on organically. I mean if Kim Kardashian the selfie queen and Oprah love it then why wouldn't we? This is an American innovation story and a great stocking stuffer for everyone. Check out a short LuMee informational video about how it started and to...

IN THE MOOD SHINY TRENCH (MARKS&SPENCER, ALEXA CHUNG)

It arrived today and I love how shiny this trench is! However, it's small and too cool for me. At least that's what I thought, until my husband told me I was wrong. Does anyone else buy clothes that are too big and too basic for comfort? I clearly am making this mistake. It's likely aging the way we look more than we realize. The trench is a high-shine polyurethane patent leather look coat pictured above on me. I don't like posting pictures of myself but seeing an unusual trend on someone who isn't a young perfect model is realistic and hopefully helpful. The Briggate trench is from the Marks & Spencer collaboration with Alexa Chung a popular British fashionista. There is...

IN THE MOOD POP UP SALE (BANDIER)

I literally just got this invitation and Fairfield County ladies it is not to be missed by me (and maybe you) because a similar event has never happened before to my knowledge. Bandier is having a special pop up sale (up to 70% off) at Chelsea Piers in Stamford this week. Maybe I'll see you there? For me, it's all about the outfit. You can take the girly girl out of the gym but you can't take the girly out of the girl. Click HERE for a previous post about Bandier. I do not receive proceeds from purchase of this recommended brand. Moodsey is all about sharing not selling....

IN THE MOOD TO AMP UP

Amp up easily and quickly via bold gold jewelry instead of a whole new outfit is what I thought when I saw this image above. Look at how elegant this model looks and she only has on a simple sweater with bold gold jewelry. Of course she is gorgeous but please try to ignore that part. Notice the new on trend clay color of the model's sweater. This is a similar color as pictured in a previous post. Click HERE to get inspired and browse the pretty Tiffany pieces shown in the photo. Also, click HERE for a previous post of sumptuous Verdura gold jewelry. I followed my own advice last weekend and "amped-up" with rose gold...
