Happy Monday friends!That's it. I am now half a century old and I am ok with that. I think as long as I keep moving forward, what's the problem?I thought since I am now 50, I would write 50 things about myself you may not know. Or... 50 things about turning 50 that isn't so bad.. I'm kidding, kidding.
Looking at my closet, when my mom visited, I realize I have alot of shoes. ( Ok, maybe I have realized this before! ) Many of the shoes have been from blogging, working with wonderful companies like Jambu, Andre Assous and Rockport, among others. But, I have been noticing this trend for this summer-Slides. Just a simple flat shoe with a fabric, leather, straw front makes an easy summer look even easier. I thought i would put together some of my favorite pairs. i haven't jumped the gun yet, as i need a bit more support than some slides have to offer. However, if you aren't worried about that, they are the perfect shoe to just slip in and be on your way to a winery, summer concert, or just out for the day. Keeping your feet cool.
Hello friends,I realize tomorrow is the 4th of July. For a subtle look for 4th of July see yesterday's post. I've also included some links to former year's 4th of July outfits. Happy 4th friends! I am wearing stripes ;-) We tend to stay home and sit on our deck, keeping Truffles and Gibson company, as my girl is very afraid of Fireworks. Mom and I were reminiscing about how the loud booms! at Dormont's Fireworks display,( in Pittsburgh) when I was little would make me cry! We will just sit out on the porch, with the pups, glass of beer or wine and may see some behind the trees, cuddling Truffles as much as we can, as she shakes. I think most pups are afraid of Fireworks!I am not sure how you feel, but I love to find companies that have unique or handcrafted products. When Bellorita reached out to me, I was captivated by the hand carved and painted drawings on their home page. I browsed, looking at each design of the purses and clutches they sold, finally deciding on a koi fish with bubbles represented by interspersed white pearls on the bag.
Hello friendsWell before I'm sweating "putty balls" ( my mom's saying! still don't know what it means ;-) ) I decided to wear my favorite jeans with one of my favorite off the shoulder floral tops. In the summer, I will mostly wear dresses, denim white shorts and my jean skirt, but from time to time, if we are going to be inside, whether it's for a casual dinner or at the movies, I may wear jeans. Places here tend to crank the air conditioning in the summer. Not going for a full blown obvious red white and blue look, I opted for subtly with the top in navy , white, and red within the floral design.
