 I am starting to think that Charlotte is a bit unpredictable. Sunny and 72 one day this week, 50 today and chilly. Ok. I guess it is a goofy name for the title of this post, I just can't help it. I look at it and think of is it a butterfly, just an ink blot, or am I just thinking about the garment too much? This dress, found at Target, was one of those high low buys. The low being the target dress in and of itself, the high being the Rebecca Minkoff Amorous Bag with it. Ms. Minkoff...

 Ok, I am going to show my age here a bit, and say I remember a perfume that was around the house growing up . Who remembers Jean Nate? I can not remember all of the names, but remember many with a very strong scent, and also a musky smell. That definately is not me!! I also remember my dad's soap on a rope, and Polo for men. I now love floral scents, clean and light My favorite perfume is Chanel Coco Mademoiselle, and I do also like the Chance line. As a gift two Valentine's Day's ago, I received...

This is the last in a series from readers.com, showcasing the Make a Statement Collection. There was sun out this afternoon, as this winter was strange in Charlotte, a few days you see people bundled in winter coats, then the shorts and t-shirts come out. I decided to wear a cream colored sweater I got from my favorite place to shop, Ann Taylor. No kidding, I am known on a first name basis there.This peplum sweater I had eyed for awhile, and I also liked the fact that it was light, which we need more than heavy, substantial cable knits...

Hello everyone!  It was a lovely day today and we decided to take advantage of a good day with weather and my health. We of course brought the puppies out, and they actually know the word "car ride", so they get excited, and their ears perk up.The place we often frequent is called, Birkdale, but I renamed it, " Barkdale" as it is very dog friendly. The funny thing is the my pups, when taking a walk, actually make a b-line for the little boutiques, the hair salon, and wine bar, that we go to! I think my little girl thinks...

This is second in a series, displaying the lovely, distinct, and well-made readers, from readers.com. I chose this pair, the zebra,  called, The Dolly, for several reasons. First, again, I wanted a print and liked the shape. Again, the glasses are a part of the Make a Statement Collection, and also display the diversity of the frames. They too, have a cat-eye shape but more subtle. They are great to pair with nearly most outfits, but I wanted to do a bold color of the deep red with black, to show the black and white glasses. You could do a...

First of all I love the cat-eye look !The last time I was glasses shopping, I took a lot longer than my husband, as the salesman  kept saying, "He has THE PERFECT face for practically any frame here." He then found 2 pair for me, and I liked them but did not love. Well, it was quite a project finding a pair I like, as you can see I have a certain face shape that works with some frames and not others. Do not hand me those round little John Lennon glasses, or tell me...

 Today was sunny and we decided to head out by the lake for pictures. I noticed this tree, and thought it was a great place for pictures. The first thought, however, was not to just look at the tree and think of it as a good place for shots, but rather " boy, I would love to climb that! " I am more of a tomboy, or have been as my husband and I met at a rock climbing class when I lived in Pittsburgh, PA. I thought, "I better get to know this guy if he is going to...
