Charmed by Charlie ~ 2

August 1, 2016/in Fashion Posts, Uncategorized /by mrs.sshockley

Finding beautiful things is always fun! So I was really excited when I walked into the Charming Charlie store in the Florida Mall and found these two great accessories.

This is the Wallaby Mama Bag in Bag tote. It is a great size and the perfect pink blush color! Oh gosh, I just love it! The bumble bee brooch is from Banana Republic. I wrote about it here.

The second item that I bought was this hummingbird brooch.

And I could not resist their Royal Bee Brooch.

Charming Charlie is a great place to get wonderful accessories at great prices! The brooches were only $10 each! Seriously,….. it’s just great! I hope you check out their site or their gorgeous store. If you want to read part 1 of Charmed by Charlie see it here.

Enjoy!

My Fruit Fusion Water Bottle

July 25, 2016/in Beauty & Health, Uncategorized /by mrs.sshockley

Goodness gracious it has been so hot here in Indiana! I know we shouldn’t complain because we have horrible winters here but I am sorry it’s hot!

I had a visit with my O.B. recently and I told her that I have been dizzy lately. Without blinking an eye she said, “You don’t drink enough water”. I just sighed. So I made a mental note to start working on that immediately.

My family and I were at the mall and went into Dick’s Sporting Goods. Not really my kinda of shopping but I have to honor my husband to. He always goes where I want. We were just looking around when I spotted the Fruit Fusion Water Bottle by Carrie Underwood.

This is a photo of my bottle at home. We purchased bags of frozen fruit and it works wonderfully. The frozen fruit keeps it cold and flavors the water at the same time. I absolutely love it and carry it everywhere I go.

If you are not a big water drinker maybe you should try a fruit fusion water bottle. It may change your mind.

Thanks for reading!!

Vintage from Tradesy

July 22, 2016/in Fashion Posts, Uncategorized /by mrs.sshockley

I love buying vintage pieces especially accessories! I made another purchase from Tradesy. I purchased another Louis Vuitton of course and a pair of vintage Chanel earrings.

I had the earrings on my “Love list” since last year. I am so happy that I was able to purchase them this time!

I am very pleased with my earrings and the seller sent the original box, velvet bag and shopping bag with the Chanel camellia flower! It was a pleasant surprise.

The second item that I purchased was this vintage 1980’s Louis Vuitton. It is in excellent condition.

It is a nice large size and you can tell it is built to last. I purchased my first Louis Vuitton from Tradesy last year. You can read about it here.

My experience with Tradesy has been wonderful so far. If you want a nice Louis Vuitton bag and don’t mind it being used then Tradesy might be the site for you!

River Street Sweets in Savannah

July 20, 2016/in Travel, Uncategorized /by mrs.sshockley

After having that wonderful dinner at Lady and Son’s (that fried chicken was the best), I had a sweet tooth! We went back down to River Street and spotted this great candy store called River Street Sweets.

It was a wonderful store and it was full of old goodies and new goodies. But what caught my eye were the white chocolate bear claws! Oh me, oh my…..

The white chocolate strawberries were the best.

The white chocolate bear claws are sensational!

Wonderful sweets shop to visit if you are ever in Savannah. The staff was just a sweet too!

Our Visit to Leopold’s Ice Cream

July 18, 2016/2 Comments/in Travel, Uncategorized /by mrs.sshockley

I love ice cream just as much as the next person so while we were walking around Savannah everyone kept talking about Leopold’s Ice Cream.

I thought, “Oh come one, it’s just ice cream”, but when we came around the corner at 10:30 at night and saw the line a block down the road that had me a little curious. So we got and line and waited another 15 minutes and had the most creamy and delicious ice cream.

Mmmmm, good!

Wonderful treats! If you are ever in Savannah and have the “patience of Job”

I would encourage you to stop my Leopold’s. It is worth the wait!

In Savannah…

July 15, 2016/in Travel, Uncategorized /by mrs.sshockley

I have always wanted to visit Savannah. I have always pictured myself as a southern belle kinda of gal. And I was so excited when my husband added this to our list of places to visit while heading down to Florida.

So after a restful night at the hotel in Asheville, we packed up our bags and headed to Savannah! We drove by Forsyth Park and I could not get any pictures of it because my husband was looking for a parking spot!

We ended up parking on the same street as Lady and Sons. We then walked around and took a few pictures of downtown before heading into the restaurant.

Love these trolleys! So charming….

Pretty trees in the park

Taking in some of the historical views on River Street

Spotted this gorgeous necklace in the Banana Republic store in

Savannah. It is called the Sea Life Focal Necklace.

Once we finished walking around we headed into Lady and Son’s. We walked around the gift shop and I could not take my eyes off this floral arrangement.

I love the tiny roses on the vase.

After we finished dinner this “guy” was walking around greeting everyone!

It was Paula Dean’s husband. Very nice man!

I enjoyed Savannah and hope to return soon!

Antiquing in Asheville

July 13, 2016/4 Comments/in Travel, Uncategorized /by mrs.sshockley

I had such a wonderful day at the Biltmore. We spent the night at a great hotel and got up early to continue on our road trip to Florida. The day before while we were heading to the Biltmore, my husband and I spotted tons of antique stores!

I am a sucker for antiques and wanted to stop so bad but I knew that my husband wanted to get on our way so I didn’t say a word. So the next morning he surprised me by stopping at the biggest one we saw. It was called the Antique Tobacco Barn and it was huge!

I felt like a kid in a candy store! My husband was extremely impressed and he is never impressed with antique stores. He usually hates going into them but will tolerate them for my sake.
