Hello Friends,Well, we had a Dog Day Afternoon at Raylen Vineyards on the weekend, when we attended the Dog and Drinks event, benefiting the Humane Society. Gibson was so excited when we got there, as he pulled on his leash to get to see other dogs. Truffles hid behind my hubby's pant leg- thinking " doggy overload!: I, however, was in my element! Pups and wine, two of my favorite things! This outfit for today was something I put together for Sunday, I wasn't about to wear white jeans at a vineyard with dogs :-)

Happy Monday FriendsI hope you enjoyed your weekend. We did go to a Dog and Drinks event at Raylen Vineayards and I'll talk about that more tomorrow. Ive posted my favorite spring dress on the blog below with its delicate embroidery as I fall for this Spring trend. I do remember growing up seeing the Tamburitzans, a Ukrainian Dance company, with intricate embroidered dance outfits and being quite taken with them.

 Hello friendsI have introduced you to several vineyards in the North Carolina region, about a 2 hours north drive from Charlotte. Here is Midnight Magdalena in case you missed it. Today I am going to be introducing you to Morgan Ridge Vineyard.  From their site " Located in the Piedmont region of North Carolina and recently awarded  Grape Growers Excellence Award, Morgan Ridge Vineyards has been creating quality wines since its inaugural vintage in 2007. Owners Tommy and Amie Baudoin operate the vineyard and on-premise winery while striving for balance and producing the best fruit possible to be used in the creation of their award-winning wines. Planted in 2004, the vineyard boasts seven prime acres encompassing seven different varietals used in the production of over 1500 cases of estate wine annually."

 I hope everyone had a great weekend. I had a better weekend and it seems things are improving coming of my medication. That and getting dry needling treatments are what are my saving grace.  Today I decided to put together a layered outfit of earth tones with rust, browns, gold and wooden accessories. I am wearing a pair of sunglasses by Winkwood.   You  may be familiar with  Winkwood as Emma has the same pair and Dawn and Grace have the round style. This style of pink, zebrawood and carved leaves is known as Autumn Tale.

Happy Monday FriendsI hope everyone had a great weekend. After an abundance of rain, and a wooded trail that resembled a small lake, we have finally be blessed with some warm sunny days over the weekend. Of course we took full advantage, and went to Morgan Ridge, a dog-friendly vineyard, on Saturday. I will be writing about this vineyard and wines Friday on the blog. Now, lets talk about fun statement sneakers! Does it seem like everything is a statement these days? Statement sleeves, statement jewelry, bags, sandals, sneakers.

Happy Friday friends!"It is not by the gray of the hair that one knows the age of the heart." — Edward G. Bulwer-Lytton Well, I hope you didn't think I was going to shock the heck out of you with my hair gone completely grey just yet! As you know, there is much media attention on women going grey at a certain age. I remember when my mom's hair, seeing her one moment with light brown hair, to the next with solid white, was a bit of a shock! It truly didn't take us all long to get used to it and really like the snow white hair on my mom.

Hello FriendsI couldn't resist this dress when I saw it on ASOS. I bought this months ago and it has been sitting in my closet just waiting to make an appearance!  I stick pretty well to my monthly budget or otherwise I might have bought a few more lots of  embroidered tops and dresses. I have one other one I look forward to sharing. I thought this dress was unique with its higher sheer neck and embroidered sleeves in red and pink. The scalloped sleeve trim and bottom trim on the dress appealed to me and I plan on styling this sheer portion other ways... gotta be creative!

Happy Monday friends!Well, it is officially summer! Kidding. But here in Charlotte it almost feels like it is! 85 degree days and sunshine have been the weather for the past 4 days.  I love the sun as it does help my mood but the heat can hold off for a few more months! This weekend we enjoyed just sitting out by Lake Norman bringing the pups and having lunch out. I've been having a hard time health wise struggling with coming down on one of my pain medications. I won't go into it only to say that this illness certainly does challenge me both physically and mentally at times.
