Vanguard Design is now Whyte Indigo!

A few months ago, I decided to change the name of my bespoke handbag brand from Vanguard Design to Whyte Indigo.  The new name is a play on the unique spelling of my last name and my color, blue.

There is also a plant called the white wild indigo – Baptisia albawhich is native to North America.

Not to fear, with the new name you will get the same fabulous bags you are used to seeing from me.

New Year’s Eve 2019 Live Music Playlist

I am having friends over New Year’s Eve, and plan to just chill with a live music playlist!  Could you imagine going to a concert and listening to Chaka Khan, Sade, Erykah Badu, Jill Scott, Michael Jackson, George Michael, Mary J Blige, Madonna, Wham!, Big Daddy Kane, Massive Attack, and Jodeci all on the same stage.  That would be really unrealistic, but pretty awesome!

My new year’s resolution: enjoy life more with music. Here is what I listened to:
