Last night was a night where we tried a new wine bar, and I was finally able to wear my Magaschoni cashmere emerald sweater out! I purchased it last year at Bluefly, a favorite on-line shop, as the green emerald was calling out to me.( I am starting to notice a favorite phrase!)  I was told, by many people I encounter that all red heads should own green in their closet. I do think it compliments the hair and skin tone, but not every shade of green works. More brown-greens for instance, I feel, look ruddy. I am not a...

I could honestly say, my love for handbags, probably began about 10 years ago. I know it wasn't in high school or even college, and I am seeing a ton of 20 somethings wearing Celine bags or carrying Louis Vuitton. At that age, I would have probably been able to afford Louis Buitton. The only bag I remember carrying in high school was my "brown bag", not from Bloomingdales, either, literally a brown bag for lunch! I remember when I bought years ago a Kenneth Cole NY bag, I got at TJMaxx for $65 dollars, and I thought that was...

My cafe colored  sweater dress was begging to be worn, and so I decided to pair it with different shades of brown. This cashmere sweater dress is so soft and yet it needs something to add to its taupe-ish color. This relatively new leather jacket, by Andrew Marc seemed to add more intensity to the color scheme, as did the boots.I have always been a fan of Andrew Marc's leather jackets, and I just loved this color. Bluefly.com has some great leather jackets, when you are looking for one I have a combination of gold and silver jewelry, but these...

Teal has to be a favorite color of mine. I bought this velvet jacket, when I was really into velvet, and no it was not the mid 70s. Since I like most of my jackets fitted, I decided to wear this over my grey sweater dress. Putting on this entire outfit is about as comfortable as pajamas as one can get. I dressed it up with some bold gold and teal statement jewelry that actually called out to me from our local Jewel Box's window.( Perhaps this is becoming a recurring happening with me!) So, of course, I had to...

 I know deep inside we are all animals, or is it cavemen/women. We hunt, we gather, and hunt some more .. for the deals that is!! This actually was a lovely day after eating brunch at a very busy restaurant. We decided to take a little stroll and pop in some shops, although I did show restraint. I have to do this now and then, as I actually have a clothing budget. Unfortunately, I looked outside this morning, and there was nothing on my trees. Bare. No money growing on them. So, I decided it was a pencil skirt type...

      As soon as I saw this skirt in one of Ann Taylor's catalogues, I knew it was mine! I love the quilting, slightly a-line structure of the skirt, and who can't use another black skirt in their wardrobe?. I have had some compliments of this particular color of olive green top with my copper hair, so decided to pair it with the skirt. Of course, I need to be be-jeweled. The Jewel Box is a local Lake Norman haunt of mine, where I am on a first name basis, because their jewelry is both trendy, pretty, and inexpensive. I saw...

 I can honestly say, I moved to Charlotte for 2 reasons: a teaching job, and the weather. The weather played an important role, as I was tired of the grey, cold, and long winter months of PA. Sure, I love fall, but I could do without winter. Seeing snow here in Charlotte, at least 5 inches, I became like the children in which I taught kindergarten years ago. WoW! Look at how pretty that is on the trees! Such a beautiful scene! Do you want to go outside? Now here, I was talking to my 2 -12 pound shih tzus,...

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UjuaZDdqmCwLet me start off by saying, Happy Valentine's Day. I want you to enjoy a bit of my favorite singer's apprapo song, and also include a few pics of me in the color of the day, with one of my favorite wool coats, and also my favorite antique piece of jewelry with pearls that I will post again. You can see our Storm of 2014 behind me.I went to school initially for Classical Guitar, however when I would go to student performances, you could hear a pin drop, and upon reflection of a future career, unless I was a master...
