Hello friends!I am planning on posting
Part II of my trip on Thursday this week, so please do come by and check out more of my trip to Santa Fe and Taos, more pictures! ( not to mention it also being My Refined Linkup as well)Hope you enjoyed the weekend. We went to a Hallo-wine Festival Saturday, wine tasting, food trucks, music, kid's events etc. Brought the puppies and it was a good time.I hope you enjoy Halloween tonight, if you celebrate it. Hubby, me and the pups have decided to sit outside and pass out candy. I was joking with hubby when I told him, " Now, we only give out candy to the kids with the homemade costumes, ok" None of that, " Draw-a-smile-on-a-white-sheet "Im a Ghost" -kind of costume!" Kidding. I do remember though, back in the day, when my mom made our costumes. I was a rabbit , a black cat, a monk ( and won first prize as a contest) yes, Mom sewed me a brown gown with hood, I had a white beard, and wore a rope belt, as I chanted Gregorian Chant while in a circle with the other kids. I also remember First Grade when mom used ribbed cardboard around my body, I had a black bodysuit, and used my Disney cap as the make-shift trash can lid stuck to my cap( beanie). Dad has spray painted trashcan on the body of my costume, and then I remember stapling or gluing paper cartons of milk, candy wrappers and more to my "can". It was a pretty cool costume now that I remember it.
Hello friends!Who doesn't love Leopard? Well, I have been looking for a pair of leopard booties now for awhile now, and finally found a pair with a lower heel at MetroStyle. Let me introduce you to Metrostyle. Metrostyle is a company that is fashion forward, appeals to women over 40, who want to keep up with the trends and current fashions. As the holiday's draw near, everyone has a certain budget that they are looking to spend, and whether you are looking for a pair of these booties for yourself or for another person in your family, they are quite affordable. They offer clothing sizes in Tall, Misses, Petite and Plus.
Hello friendsTGIF! Well, today I thought I would bring you some winter coat styles I truly love. One thing, however, about living in North Carolina, is that I don't need a winter coat until mid November, and sometimes not until the end of the month. Prior to NC. I lived in Pittsburgh, PA and needed that winter coat in September, as temps dipped into the freezing zone!
Hello friends! Hope you had a great weekend. I did early voting, so if you can, get out and vote. Hard to believe we are already in November and the Christmas commercials are playing on TV, all of the Holiday stockings and gift wrap etc, has been in stores for a bit now, and I start thinking about my holiday list for Gifts. Happy that I was able to pick up a couple in New Mexico, and will also be giving more "framed gifts" this year for family as well. I am already thinking of the "family portrait" with the pups in their Santa Suits. In addition to today's velvet look, you can view other posts with me wearing velvet 
Hello friends!Hope you had a great weekend. It was a busy one, as I voted early, went to the Opthamologist and got a new script for my glasses, and enjoyed Verde, a Mexican restaurant that is only 10 minutes from us. We still are loving the "taste of New Mexico" so I tried the least spiciest dish on the menu, and had a very good Agave Nectar Margarita! Sunday we went and saw " Dr Strange" with one of my favorite's Benedict Cumberbatch! woo-wee! It was great!Today I am wearing one of my favorite colors for fall ( perhaps I say this a lot) olive green. I decided to take this sweater dress( again, an easy dress to wear in the fall) and layer it with this menswear brown plaid vest. I have shared some looks with this vest or similar, over the year in the spring ( worn with jeans), last fall ( with a mini skirt and menswear booties) and now, with this look that has a bit of feminine and masculine in it.
Hello friends, As promised, I will be sharing more of my Taos and Santa Fe, NM vacation in Part II next week. Today, I am sharing my collaboration with fabulous NY designer,
