Big Necklaces

It's something I'm enjoying right now. Particularly these.

loving this

I'm loving this skirt today.

We've gone from Winter to Summer here in Tennessee. It's in the mid 80's (about to set record temps!) and it's only the beginning of April.  I wonder what this means for the real summer? Yikes! Well, in the mean time I guess it's time to pull out those dresses, skirts, and shorts.

Happy Monday all!

elizabeth and james

Since I was a kid, I was a fan of MK+A. I thought they were beautiful, talented, fun and more.

Now-a-days I  enjoy an occasional movie fest with Leslie and loads of laughter. Oh how I wanted to be just like them.

Today, they are fashion designers. To be honest, I don't love the line, but I do find some of it intriguing.

I was looking through their Spring line, and I enjoyed this photo. What do you think?

etsy fun

Every now and then I find something that I truly adore on Etsy. Today, it's the Heart of Light shop. I think I just may get a bunch  of things and give them away as presents (or keep them, tee hee). You see, I'm not a the best present giver, and this year it's been horrible. I'm behind on 2 birthday presents (I do love you both)! Anyway these are super fun, no?

...and heh. These items can be found in many other colors besides yellow. After I  wrote all this and posted the photos I just realized I must be partial to yellow. :) It is my favorite color after all.

Happy weekend!

J.Crew's November catalog has arrived

My heart goes thump thump.

If only ... I could afford you J.Crew.

Did I mention that most of the outfits that Emma Pillsbury (played by the adorable Jayma Mays) wears on Glee come from J. Crew? I adore her outfit choices. Look at these.

rain boots

A DSW opened near us about the time I realized that most of my shoes were beginning to have holes in them. So I ventured out to find some new ones and had a lot of fun. It took about two months, but and I ended up with a couple pairs of new and fantastic shoes. What I learned along the way is, well, I'm very picky. However, I think it's a good thing because otherwise I'd end up with a closet full of items that rarely get used .


Anyway, I bought a pair of Sperry Top Siders at DSW and joined their little rewards thing so each time I buy something I get points. When I signed up (it was free, no credit card, just a reward card) I automatically got a $10 gift certificate plus some fun e-mails every now and then with pretty shoes inside.


Today, I got that e-mail and found myself looking at rain boots. Hooray! I love rain boots. I bought my first pair when I moved to Tennessee four years ago and I still wear them every time we have a down pour. Unfortunately, they too are beginning to get old and have a couple tears.

Here are some fun ones. Left to right, there is the Nomad Hurricane Rain Boot which I think is my favorite. I love red. Then there is the Chooka Koi Tattoo Rain Boot which is quite fabulous and my second favorite. Finally we have the Kamik Maude Waterproof Rain Boot which reminds me a lot of my current rain boots.

colored tights

Thank you Little Paper Dog for posting about colored tights. I ♥ colored tights.

Last weekend I went to a super hero party at a friend's house. Unfortunately I realized that my wardrobe does not make it easy to create a super hero costume out of this air, so husband had a great idea. He recommended that I find the craziest things I have, put them together, grab one of our plastic guitars, and be a "guitar hero." I liked the idea so I went with it. I found purple tights, red and black striped over-the-knee socks, a tie-dye shirt, plus some black shorts and declared myself a guitar hero. If I would have had more time I would have spiked my hair or something rocker-like. Well, it worked and I got to wear fun purple tights. I think there is a picture floating around somewhere, I'll try to find it.

Anyhoo, the weather has turned colder, and I think it's entirely appropriate to wear fashionably-colored tights, ALL THE TIME. My friend Leslie is really good at doing this. I ♥ her too.

Here's to cooler weather and colored tights. Hooray!

fall

Fall has arrived! And so has the new J.Crew catalog. Isn't this jacket incredible? I think yellow will forever be my favorite color.

rain

Husband & I woke up frequently last night to huge claps of thunder. It's going to pour all day. Since I've been up for a while, I decided to look up ideas on what to wear to work on a rainy day. Well, I wasn't super successful but I did find this outfit and I think it's genius. Particularly the shorts - cause pants always get soaked on a rainy day! :) While I probably wouldn't wear this to work, it would be great any other rainy day. I love the splash of blue.

dresses

This is a fun dress. Originally my friend was considering it as a bridesmaid's dress for her wedding, but ultimately decided with another style. I can't get it out of my head. It may end up in my closet.
