Clubhouse Closet | New Net-A-Porter Handbags & Sandals

Lookie Lookie 

I found some brand spanking new goodies

!!!!!

I took a trip over to one of our favorite cyber city boutiques

Net-A-Porter 

just to see what they got in for the spring season 

and I ran into a few fabulous handbags and sandals & naturally 

I brought them back here to share in the clubhouse 

Check. Them. Out.

The bronze baby came from Chloe

The crochet came from Dolce & Gabbana 

& the snake skin starry number is from none other then the ever amazing Miu Miu

More Dolce 

More Chloe

& bit of Ralph Lauren of course

& then there are these jazzy embellished suede sandal's by Vionnet 

More Miu Miu with a bit of metallic & cherry's embellished with glitter

Roberto Cavalli comes in with acetate flower-appliqued leather sandals

and last but certainly not least we have a crystal embellished leather ballet flats 

from the flats master, none other than 

Tory Burch

These definitely bring about

 Darling Excitement

Clubhouse Music | Clubhouse Members | Rita Ora

Hello, Hello

!!!!!!

So I'm not sure if you've all heard of 

Rita Ora

21 year old pop artist/model 

signed to Jay-Z's 

Roc Nation 

You may or may not remember her as the

pretty face that appeared in 

Drake's 

'Over' video a couple years back 

or you may even recognize her from 

Calvin Klein Ad Campaigns that ran last year 

in any event I've been quietly watching her via

Twitter

web windows

waiting for her to really blow

*

it seems girly's time has finally come

earlier this week she crept into NY radio stations 

with her boss 

Shawn Carter 

& dropped off her single

'Party & Bullsh*t'

which I enjoyed a great deal.

Fun tune, perfect for summer

 it will definitely be getting tons of play over here in the clubhouse

'Party & Bullsh*t'

*

Jay-Z & Rita Premiering the single @NY radio stations

I think we should all get into Rita 

I predict that she's going to leave a Darling mark on the entertainment world

Clubhouse Art | George Le Mercenaire

So lately 

I've come across the work of a French artist

by the name of 

George Le Mercenaire

who considers his work to be 

"Pop culture and graphic poetry or just stupid designs"

I found his work to be quite delightful 

funny, fresh, and a bit spunky

Take a look at a few of my favorite pieces of his

LOL

that last image is especially precious

What do you 

Darlings think

?!?

Clubhouse Icons | Maya Angelou | Clubhouse Book Club | Letter To My Daughter

Hello Guys & Gals

thank you for making your way back too

'The House Of Darling'

*

I want to share something about myself with all of you

I am a 

BOOK LOVER/ AVID READER

I get lost in books

I find that they activate my imagination 

and strengthens my minds abilities

One of my all time favorite people/ authors/ poet is 

no one other then the ever endearing 

Dr. Maya Angelou

Her autobiographical series:

'I know why the caged bird sings'

'Gather together in my name'

'Singin' & Swingin' & Gettin' Merry Like Christmas'

'The Heart Of a Woman'

'All God's Children Need Traveling Shoes'

'A Song Flung Up To Heaven'

have all been read by me & each of them are on my list of favorite & MUST read books

*

A book of hers that I haven't explored but I do have in my possession 

& I am preparing to read is 

'Letter To My Daughter' 

Here is a short video in which she introduces the book back in 2008

This book isn't just dedicated & wasn't written for any one type of woman 

It was created with love for all women

I do hope that you gals will pick it up & perhaps we can discuss it a bit later 

I will post significant points that I find in the book along the way

I also recommend that you all read her autobiographies if you haven't already 

& 

should you never read a book by her 

at the very least always remember these words

“There is no greater agony than bearing an untold story inside you.” 
― Maya Angelou

“A bird doesn't sing because it has an answer, it sings because it has a song.” 
― Maya Angelou

“I can be changed by what happens to me. But I refuse to be reduced by it.” 
― Maya Angelou

“We delight in the beauty of the butterfly, but rarely admit the changes it has gone through to achieve that beauty.” 
― Maya Angelou

“I've learned that you can tell a lot about a person by the way (s)he handles these three things: a rainy day, lost luggage, and tangled Christmas tree lights.” 
― Maya Angelou

Clubhouse Members | The Courtin- Clarins gals x The Covetuer

I've told you guys that one of my dearest cyber city hangouts is 

The Covetuer

*

I'll admit I hadn't been over in awhile but time apart is always rewarding 

because as they say absence makes the heart grow fonder 

& 

there's always a ton of new things there to oodle & sinfully covet 

when I've been away.

So I paid a visit and found that they've fairly recently 

spent sometime with 

The Courtin- Clarins Gals!

Claire, Prisca, Jenna & Virginie

granddaughters of 

Jacques Courtin- Clarins 

herself,

skin care company.

Not only do these dames have model Mommy's & Clarin heir name cladded Daddy's 

but they've also got brains too 

According to stylelist.com 

Virginie has a business degree, Claire studied architecture & design,

Prisca owns the 1st American style nail bar in Paris titled "Nail Factory 

& Jenna is currently in college studying photography.

Anyways

these four delicious style divas, 

who've been taking the fashion scene by storm 

for a small bit of time now,

had plenty of Darling things for me to bring back here & share with you all
