Hello friends!Wow, here we are in 2018, and I am glad to be back on the blog, although the rest and getting to celebrate with family was wonderful. I hope you all enjoyed the Holidays and celebrated big! It was so much fun on Christmas day when the pups dug into their stockings! They were so excited.  We kept it easy for New Years Eve, as we enjoyed watching the Ball drop and cooking a fancy meal of crab cakes, corn soueffle and other goodies. We toast the New Year with a delicious bottle of vino. Today's post is very apropo to start the New year with and one of my favorite fabric and trends of the year, velvet.  I'm thrilled to start of the first collaboration of the New year with the company, Soft Surroundings.

 Hello Ladies!Happy New Year! I hope you all had such a wonderful Holiday with your families and enjoyed Christmas day. We spent the Holidays in Harleysville, with my in-laws. The drive was a bit longer.. and we are lucky to have pups that do nothing but sleep and just hang out as we make the long drive. They have more patience than i do when waiting in traffic! We had a lovely time and I enjoy going to their church for Holiday service, as my sister-in law conducts a bell choir, and they are big on music with piano, trumpets, tuba, flutes and guitar. Today I am just sharing the first look of the Year-2018 and will be sharing how to's for styling outfits on the blog, as well as those important midlife topics. Friday, I hope to share some of my goals -both personally and with the blog, as I take stock of the year and what I would love to add/change in my life and on the blog. Excited about what 2018 has to come!

 Atten-hut! DId I get your attention? Well, I am dressing in the "military style" today.. :-) If you didn't get a chance to read about the comfortable and stylish shoes from  yesterday's post on  Adrian Allen Shoes, do so especially if you are looking for a comfortable shoe for the Holidays!As we get closer to Christmas, I always tend to reflect at the end of the year about things in which I am grateful. I have really enjoyed getting to know people better on the blog, and enjoy the supportive environment it offers. I am looking forward to spending time with family, in Pennsylvania and having the puppies with us this time. I have always been big on Christmas, celebrating, enjoying Holiday food and drinks and giving gifts. You saw a few weeks ago my Post about Joseph Ribkoff, a premier Canadian designer that is sold at 1ereAvenue. I wore an eye catching lace red top and black slacks. Today I am sharing another look with you from Joseph Ribkoff, and the second look I styled from 1ereAvenue.

 Good Morning Ladies.One more week. I know, before you know it , it comes and goes. I am looking forward to the break, however I do wish I could be like Dorothy from the Wizard of Oz, and click my heels together three times to get "home'.... my "home' for Christmas celebrations that is! Friday we drive to my brother's place in Virginia, taking 6 hours to get there. The next day will be just 3, so it's not too bad. Speaking of heels, I want to introduce you to a brand, Adrian  Allen Shoes. Not only are they beautiful, but comfort and style is what differentiates them from others.

Happy Friday Ladies! We know the story by Charles Dickens, A Christmas Carol. a favorite Christmas story with a lesson. "It was first published in London in 1843 A Christmas Carol tells the story of Ebenezer Scrooge, an old miser who is visited by the ghost of his former business partner Jacob Marley and the Ghosts of Christmas PastPresent, and Yet to Come. After their visits Scrooge is transformed into a kinder, gentler man.Dickens wrote A Christmas Carol at a time when the British were examining and exploring Christmas traditions from the past, such as carols, as well as new customs such as Christmas Trees." **Credit-Wikipedia.   Just as Scrooge is visited by the Ghost of Jacob Marley, you,  dear readers will be visited today, by the Fashion ghost of Christmas Past, present.. and will have to formulate, based on these photos and descriptions, what I might wear in Christmas yet to come.....

 Happy Holidays friends!As you can see, it was such a beautiful day outside, when we took these photos! The forecast the night before was 4-6 inches of snow, and knowing Charlotte, that may mean a dusting. When i woke up, it was as I figured, but kind of wet, dark, damp and cold. So, we quickly braved the cold and my Truffle's tail was wagging after i put her sweater on, only to learn she was to go outside and be cold!I thought besides sharing my dressier Holidays looks, that i would give you a view of what we will all wear Christmas Eve. We are going to my in-laws in Harleysville, near Philly. My mother in law has never seen the puppies in their Santa Suits or "Ugly sweaters", so I thought this year was the time. This is the first year the pups have been there for Christmas. So, I bought this sweater last year from H&M, because, you know why! it has a puppy on it!! Gibson and Truffles sweaters I bought at Target, and Hubby had to get the Star Wars one from Amazon. I'll have to get a photo of him while we are away, in his sweater, he was behind the camera!

 Morning Ladies!I hope you had a wonderful weekend. Ours was busy with more decorating, and my plan to take pictures of us ( me, my hubby, Gibby and Truffles, all in our "Ugly' sweaters!) So, do stay tuned for that post. The pup's sweaters are more "cute' than ugly, but if you have seen the recent batch at Target for pups, they do live up to the name, woah!Today I have styled one of my favorite style of Karina Dress, the RUBY. I love the 3/4 sleeves and the faux wrap style. This is so flattering on all figures and of course I went for the jewel tone-rich plum. Jewel tones are really great to wear any time of year, but i love them for the Holidays. Reds, Golds, Emerald.. You know i love rich colors!

 Hello Ladies,As the Holiday approaches, I love to dress up various look for the season, be it for Holiday parties, going out to dinner, or Christmas Day itself. I am really looking forward to traveling to Harleysville, PA to visit with my husband's parents, as we hit the road with the puppies. I have been decorating the house, and even though we won't be here, I have enjoyed putting up the tree, garland, and decorating the mantel.Here we are into December, and I want to introduce you to a Brand that is new to me that I am sure you will love-Joseph Ribkoff. Joseph Ribkoff is a premier Canadian designer, and I was contacted by one of the stores that sells the most of his Brand-1ereAvenue. I wanted to put together a Holiday look and this red blouse with  black high-waisted pants, were one of my first choices.
