{ words of wisdom: Coco Chanel }

Recent circumstances in my life have made me feel the struggle

to remain ladylike and gracious. After being told I'm a 

not-so-nice person by my landlord (I'm now searching for a 

new place to live) and continuing my search for a full-time

job with benefits, I'm starting to feel the frustration adding up.

Sometimes I need a little reminder to have some class ... 

and one of my favorite Coco Chanel quotes does just that.

"In order to be irreplaceable, one must always be classy."

Thanks, Coco. I needed that on my Monday morning!
