Influencers of Midlife Conference
Hello Ladies
Did you ever attend a meet-up, conference, or blog event that got your juices flowing or gave you added inspiration? The Influencers at Midlife Conference, hosted by Robin Lamonte of Hello I'm 50ish and Nine Bandoni, of Sharing a Journey in Alpharetta, GA this weekend, did just that. The Conference was Friday-Sunday, located at the Hotel at Avalon, a new 1 yr old modern posh hotel not far from Huntersville, where I live.
Good Morning Ladies!
I was so thrilled to be able to go to the Influencers of Midlife Conference over the weekend, and I will be getting that post together soon. So, stay tuned! However, one of those wonderful ladies I met was Jessica, my contact through 
Morning Ladies!Our Winters here are pretty mild,( not today) where it can be cold in December- February, or we can have days where it is 60 degrees. Today is bitter! I recently received this 
Hi friends!I love a beret! After seeing berets on lots on different bloggers last year, I knew I should try one. That decision was solidified after I tried a cute red one on when we went to Francis Ford Coppola's Vineyard. I could try on some of the props, and I went for the beret. Who doesn't love to have fun with fashion and are tempted by hats?
I will say it. I am not a Winter gal. If I were a snow bunny that loved to ski, skate, and didn't mind the cold, it would be all good. However, I am just I have been enjoying sitting in the Great Room with the fireplace on when I work. January is one of those very cold, kinda grey dreary months, so it certainly can affect my mood. Wearing some bright and cheery colors during the Winter can help put you in a better mood, so I styled my mustard yellow floral blouse with this Anthropologie cardigan I bought on Poshmark this year.
Happy Friday Friends,I have dedicated my Fridays to usually midlife, inspirational, or other varied topics for the New Year. I would like to try a Friday Favorites once a month, and share with you some of the favorite things I enjoy, how I spend my time etc. Today, I am taking a reader's request and writing about shopping secondhand. I know, people often reassess their finances in the New Year, and by shopping secondhand, not only are we helping the environment, but also our wallets. Plus, what lady doesn't love the art of finding a deal?
Hi friends!Mama's got a brand new bag! :-) I love nice handbags and have a bit of a collection that I enjoy. One color I was missing in my collection was red. I think I had looked this Fall for red bags until my eyes turned blood shot. ( ok, exaggeration) but I am picky on style and quality. I mentioned to hubby I would like a red bag- and over Christmas he surprised me with this beauty.- The Prada Vitello Daino Shoulder Bag. The mid-sized bag with leather bows and Italian leather was love at first sight!
Morning!New Year, New Blog Group!Today I am sharing with you a new group of ladies that I am collaborating with on the first Monday, of the month. We are the Stylish Monday group and will be having this monthly linkup on our sites! I look forward to sharing themes with you and seeing how each of us style an outfit. I will also be sharing the other host's social media accounts soon on this linkup. Today our theme was snake-skin. Have no fear! Snake-skin is just another neutral animal print like leopard. So if you wonder how to style it, have a read!
