Good Morning friends!Ah,, finally Spring may be upon us! It is later this year than last, as I usually love sitting on our deck outside in the morning, working on the blog and enjoying some fresh roasted coffee and fruit. Our weekend was so fun, as we went to a new farm to table restaurant in Charlotte's Mint Museum before seeing the Wynton Marsallis Lincoln Center Jazz Orchestra concert. They played pieces by Thelnonius Monk, his style being angular and dissonant in many pieces. Monk also composed many jazz standards, which are my favorites to listen to. Each member of the Jazz Orchestra has such an impressive background, many coming from Julliard School of Music.Today, however, i thought I would put together my composition that epitomizes Spring and Summer to me, an all white monochromatic look from Joan Vass.

Happy Monday!I hope you all had a wonderful weekend! My girl Truffles, ( girl puppy that is!) turned 9 on Sunday! She still acts like a puppy, running around each morning and playing with her plush toys. She is gentle and so loving, and we give her some special food for the day, but she isn't big on the party hats! I adore both of them-her and Gibson, as they are the best companions and so fun to be around. I don't know if I have told you this, but when we were thinking of chocolate names for her ( she had even darker brown hair) we thought of Hershey, Truffles, Rouche ( Ro-shay), you know those gold covered wrapped hazelnut balls ? We laugh now as Roche sounds very pretentious and she is most certainly NOT. hehe.I thought I would bring up a topic which was discussed at the lunch table when we went to the Good Housekeeping/Jambu event. I know many people don't like to talk finances, but this was a question i think I wondered about when I first became a blogger. How do i continue blogging about fashion if I have to purchase new outfits all of the time?
Morning ladies!Did you ever feel like the sun had something personal against you? I went out with the dogs for a walk, and it was sunny for about 5 minutes, and then hubby and i went out for a photoshoot and the 18 mile and hour winds, and cold became the weather of the day. Well, despite the cold and wind, I styled this look featuring my new Jambu
Hi Ladies!. As I slowly add new pieces to my spring wardrobe, I purchased this delicate chiffon scarf with its lovely mix of olives, plum, pinks, lavender and blue, as i styled it previously, in this port -
Just the name of the print alone, is adorable-
Hello Ladies!Well, this weekend we had some sun in Charlotte! Since I took some days to recuperate from my NYC trip, I was then ready to get out of the house! I thought i would put use my new scarf from Charming Chariles with it's blue, lavendar, pink and olive tones to use. I wanted to style an outfit around it, and knew my Ann Taylor dress, i had purchased from Poshmark, a few years ago, would go perfectly!
Morning!Today, i thought I would share what happened when the good ole Nor'Easter hit NYC while we were there! I had an amazing time with JAMBU and the bloggers, and we had planned to fly back to Charlotte on Wednesday. Well, other plans were in store! We received a message about our flight being cancelled, booked flights, so we could only leave Friday, March 23rd, when the weather had settled. So.. yes, thank you to Jambu as they helped when we were stuck for a night at the hotel.
