Scarf Tying Ideas

/in , /by

The scarf is such an essential tool in a woman’s wardrobe. I have several baskets in my closets. I also keep a basket in my car full of scarves and pashminas. 


Last year I wrote an entry (see here) about ways to tie a scarf. Maitai has several great videos about how to tie her luxurious Hermes scarves. Oh, gosh I always swoon over her collection. It’s just de toute beaute. 


I recently purchased this gorgeous scarf from Ann Taylor Loft. Along with the scarf came this very nice instructional tag on how to tie a scarf. I thought I would share it…

I love this look.

I love finding great accessories and sharing them with you all here on the blog. I found these “bling” earmuffs some weeks ago. I got a pair for my daughter and I and we both love them.

I decided to give a pair away here on the blog. If you would like to enter my “free giveaway”, please post your name below or on the blog’s facebook page in the comments section. I will take down your name and have my daughter draw the name of the winner next week.

Once we have our winner I will ship the earmuffs to you. Thanks for reading my blog and good luck!

Glitter Heels at Payless

/in , /by

It’s that time of the year where glitter heels are in style!! Well, glitter heels are always in style for me. I will wear them year round. Just ask my co-workers!!

I always walk through the mall on my lunch hour and take a sneak peak at what new glitter heels will be available for purchasing. Surprisingly enough I was walking by Payless Shoe Source and saw these beauties in the window.

I thought, Huh! Wow, these are gorgeous! I had to have them. I have been wearing them all week and have gotten nothing but beautiful compliments. If you are a glitter heel lover then check out these at your local Payless or online. They come in 4 different colors. Enjoy!!!!

The Snowflake Brooch

/in , /by

Last Christmas Talbots has a snowflake brooch that was just absolutely sensational and like an idiot, I waited to get it. Sure enough, it sold out!!

I was so bummed!! So for this autumn season, I wanted to make sure that did not happen again. So I went into our local store to check and see if they had received any and to call me as soon as they did.

They called and I hurried in there to put one on hold. The “friends and family” sale is this Thursday and I will be able to get it for 30% off!! I am so excited to finally have my brooch. It has been a long wait.

6pm.com ~ A Shoe Haven

/in , /by

I am such a girly, girl. I love everything about being woman and I am sorry to mention that shopping can be one of the bad habits that a girly, girl can have.

I love shoes but finding them recently has been a pain. I love shoes that I can wear on the weekends as well as work. I am not a tennis shoe person. I only wear those when I am working out.

I don’t like these horrid platforms that they have out now. I don’t understand how those can be comfortable or elegant. But everyone likes what they like so let’s move on.

I found a great website while shoe hunting last year. It is called 6pm.com. All of the prices are reasonable and if there was a shoe that you didn’t want to pay full price for at the store, you may be able to find it on this website. I would strongly suggest you visit it. I love it and ordering shoes from this site has just been a wonderful experience.

I just ordered these. They are the Calvin Klein leather heel.

I only paid $37!!! It was free shipping. How good does that sound?

Early Fall Favorites ~2015

/in , /by

Now that fall is officially here it is time to start taking a peek at fall fashion and accessories. I am sorry but I love the fall!!!! Nothing wrong with summer but it is just too hot for me!

Finding classic, elegant shoes has been a job for the last few months. I really didn’t find to many sandals that I loved or heels but I stumbled on some great slip~ ins a few months ago.

I did a search on Google for leopard shoes and found these great slip~ in mules at Target!! I love them!! They are so comfortable and they go with everything. The price was reasonable and I adore them. I grab them on the weekends and run my errands and I still look great!

Women’s Owen Pumps

The second item that I love is this Anya Faux-Fur Snood from Chico’s. It is so chic and I can see myself wearing it with some of my classic white shirts and pearls.

Recently, I purchased a pair of Gucci sunglasses and fresh water pearls. I waited 1 year to purchase the pearls and 5 years to purchase the Gucci sunglasses. I saw Sandra Bullock wear a pair of incredibly chic Gucci sunglasses in the movie called the “Blind Side”.

And last but certainly not least my next fall favorite is my Louis Vuitton Sac Plat tote. I purchased this a few months ago and I love it. I have always wanted a Louis Vuitton and I purchased my bag from Tradesy. I wrote about it a few months ago, see it here if you missed it.
