FALL in l.o.v.e. PAINTING y.o.u.r. world, PURPLE...

Good Morning Lovah's,

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X9H_cI_WCnE

As promised, I am presenting you a BLOG all things painted PURPLE <3 And so it begins,
Once Upon a Time...

Late in the Summer, I was ending a busy, busy worker BEE week, on SONdaySUNday, not reading the B.I.B.L.E (fail)

but, the FASHION B.I.B.L.E (Harper's Bazaar --a subscription gifted from TiTi, from free Coca~Cola Points www.worldofcoca-cola.com/ inAshi's upstairs bedroom, sweet home PERR.I., FL...)
One particular columnist hi-lited all things this FALL would not just be "Purple" -- but, Aubergine! I was amazed!!! For months prior, I'd assist my bff, Camilli Vanilli -- plan minute details of her fairy tale wedding & the bridesmaid dresses & 

"signature colour"

(spelled intentionally: read aloud in a sweet, Louisi~anna southern bell accent)

were none other than, AUBERGINE...
I, like most of my favs, (PrincessAmyWilli) am much more a "Blush & Bashful" 2 shades of PINK kind of girl...but, in that moment I determined I would embrace a change in season, + change in life & love, with a change in color palette...Take note, I will NEVAH wear that gody Orange!

                                                    

Reflecting back, & perusing old pics on my cellular device I came across this:
 My very first attempt at having my toe nails polished a shade of purple. My OPI FRENCH fav appropriately termed, "You Don't Know Jacques!" http://www.google.com/products/catalog?hl=en&q=opi+you+don't+know+jacques&gs_upl=375l378472l0l380032l26l21l0l0l0l0l452l4039l2-3.6.3l12l0&um=1&ie=UTF-8&tbm=shop&cid=3794516211730322593#

***Editor's Note: Camilli gifted a card to ALDO for Christmas(2009) & I was texting her a pic of my "comfortable HighHell, excuse me, HIGHeels I'd finally chosen...Harper's Bazaar named "GREY" FALL's most chosen color during that period...hence, the shade of misty morning on my toesies! Please, excuse my crooked "digits of the foot of a tetrapod" -- http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Toe Nonni claims, "God lined up the 4 gurns & asked, "Would you like your Father's Nose or Tose?!?" & I *** Was one of the smart ones ;) "

(2010) I was living, working in Atlanta...exhausted from 12 hour work days & as pictured here relaxing in my Post Chastain's Community Living Room (I never had cable of my own) praying, Prince Charming would rescue me from Lenox Mall --Obviously, he did not... so, I took matters into my own hands ;)

Now, (2011) these "Little Piggies only go to MARKET, in Atlanta!" & that brings me to PRESENT -- Retail Therapist @ Tallahassee's Beloved & Voted BEST  Boutique -- CC <3 (I was made to be a competitor!)  Sunlight shines through the glass windows & I am permitted to Heaven Forbid wear FLATS -- should I chose... + Ashi, TiTi, Nonni, C.Neali, A.Willi, & Jessi, & on occassion (private par~tays only) Kandi, have all shopped with me!!! I am the luckiest girl I know...

This week I am making an effort to pack a lunch, or WALK to destination -- FOOD addiction Eating LunchMeals Out!!! My college roommate, B.Parki, claims she never had eaten a lunch meal "out" until she began living with me! I, on the other hand, have been dining out since my SR. year of HIGHeelSCHOOL! When making the wrong decisions: this can be a most unhealthy habit. (Every single day, with my bff's FeeBee.i. & Ann.i. -- I miss my naive learning days @ Photos&Frames -- at least I will live knowing I'll always be, lucky#2003 Homecoming Queen.i.) I  encourage all Skinny's to PLAN & PACK & PREPARE for healthier eating + healthier lifestyles... Ashi is leading by example and has grocery shopped the past 2 weeks! I myself, am happy to report, I did my own load of laundry @ Nonni's house and have full intentions of cleaning out the trunk of my car. Tomorrow. "Direction -- not good intention determines Destination!"  Portion Control, Famine to Feast, + Solidifying Sleep Schedule are additional areas I will be focusing for my personal skinny mini journey... Think PINK, PURPLE grapes, LIVE green Veggies! Withold the Cheezussss!!!
 Here my nails are naked: But NO WORRIES...because they are painted a different shade of PURPLE now as I type to you:

My Phalanges http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Finger
 are the only part of my body that have EVER been Skinny!!! Ask my Daddi -- he will tell a wild story too, J'adore Randism's! <3 Like Dadd.i. like Daughter...

Tomorrow, I must say "see you soon!" to the 1st new girl hired with ME as mgr of CC :( See my beautiful, lunch buddi pictured here:
photographed in PURPLE, nonetheless. An inspiration to ME, sharing a common denominator: WORKER BEE spirit...another CC girl takes on NYC -- she landed dream job internship with personal fav: Harper's Bazaar <3 <3 <3 SHE is loved&adored, & wears fine linens of purples (Ps.31) Best Wishes&see.y.o.u.REAL, soon!!! I am going to miss daily SILLY girli giggles & beautiful visual displays: I am blessed to have witnessed her growth in such a short time --

“Let no one ever come to you without leaving better and happier. Be the living expression of God's kindness: kindness in your face, kindness in your eyes, kindness in your smile.” Mother Teresa

Fortunately, I can always send a <3 felt, hand written note, as I generally do for the people I ADORE MOST: Unfortuantely, this PURPLE pen has put me in a  bit of a Tickled Pickle & I must make a confession:
This week, during the passing of the friendship pad @ FPC I followed Kandi's signature, with my own John Hancock...only to "prank" checkbox the "Desire a Call from the Pastor" next to the Baby's name...(in my defense it had been awhile since she'd attended..." Even at the time, I Whispered to Dadd.i-O. that a pew down the Pastor sat in the congregation & he, himself passed the beloved friendship pad -- for one of the 1st times... I should have known then, the joke is on ME! The following, is partly what my facebook inbox read today from the Right Reverand LarryDNeali: "On the "friendship pad" there was a mark under "desire a call." I didn't know if that was you or Courtney or just an inadvertent mark. Do you know?" BUSTED!!! I will make ammends, tomorrow..."Direction, not good intention Determines DESTINATION!I still like to think sweet, 6lb 3oz, baby Jesus got a giggle out of it ?!? I think I am beginning to understand why my Soon to Be Skinny Sisters have such a difficult time sitting next to ME in the sanctuary...

FPC showed up, FASHIONABLE, this weekend & color coordinated  in blacks,whites,greys,&PURPLE!!! 1/2 the Skinny's enjoyed time shared delighting in the LIGHT & LOVE of Faith&Famil.i.
I SPY PURPLE...


J.Buddi+Hubbi&C.Neali's Baby, L <3

S.Whiddi + Famil.i...C.Neali's Purple Printed Pumps <3 j'adore...I must confess again, I coveted in church. I am a work in progress!

PURPLE -- also associated with ROYALTY, reminds us that It is Time To Register for our ROYAL FAMILY 5k RUN Feb 25, 2012...PICTURED: American Celebriti KT Holmes (in Aubergine JBrand Skinny's -- sold @ Cole Couture!!!) appears page prior to the recently single, PrinceWilli's BRO -- H in PURPLE <3 I hear Cathedral bells...Princess > Queen ?!?

While the mags are a guilty pleasure... I must say, I prefer my local celeb: Shiloh -- my other lunch buddi & midtownTallahassi walking PUP: Take a Weight Watcher Tip: & take smaller puppy paw steps towards building a TCMS BULLDOG stride...or in Beau's Case: Reindeer Gallop! Congrats to MommiTiTi -- who secured her part time position with GP. God is Faithful!!! TBA: Skinny Celebration Din @ my TownCenter fav: http://thegrape.com/loc-fl_jacksonville.shtml

 Purple in the FACE, from being long winded AS ALWAYS, I will conclude on Inspiraration...
I'd thought previously about sharing this link, then journaled it in my blog book Ashi bought me -- saving it for the perfect date! N.O.W...newest member, FASHIONISTA SkinnyMiniC.McNeill.i. was talking to me this afternoon about needing an inspirational video -- although, not probably perfect for her particular need I was reminded of my SkinnyFav's & wanted to leave you with this:

My Skinny Day Dreaming began in Atlanta, I am so grateful to be HOME with you Skinny's to share in LIFE&LOVE, please view the best thing that has happened in the past 25yrs to Atlanta:
