IMG_7703IMG_7713Hello Everyone, and Happy Monday.I promise you I am not complaining. I am just stating a fact when I say it was 96 degrees when we took these pictures. I am a woman who spends about 10-15 minutes on makeup, having it down to a science and basically figure it is going to melt away on my face by the time we get to take the photos anyway. I love YSL's Eclat Primer, as it does an excellent job of making my foundation ( Dior Nude Air) glide on smoothly and evenly, but as temps get hotter, I use this and a dab of foundation, but find that a lipstick is what holds up for these warmer months. I am going to be featuring shorts this week on the blog, and if you are over 40 and want to wear shorts, just do it! There are plenty of lengths and styles to choose from.Today we went to Childress Vineyards, just my hubby and I , as they do not permit furry friends on the premises, and frankly it was too hot for them. The grounds are beautiful and there was quite a crowd. A duo played "oldies" with guitar and upright bass, in an indoor pavilion, and we enjoyed the peach/strawberry Sangria an ice cold refreshing drink. So good in the summer, I need to make my own!

summeressentialsHello LadiesHappy Weekend! Well,  since the heat is on , I thought it time to put together a list to get one started on some summer essentials. Swimsuits purchases may be made easier by mixing and matching tops and bottoms, or seeing what best suits us. Anyhow, I picked some items that I either have or would be needing for the Summer Months.  Although, not particularly fashion, sunscreen is a must! Gone are my days of being a teenager and horrifyingly using baby oil to get a "tan" ( Read: Burn!) With fair skin, or without, sunscreen is essential to keep one's skin healthy . I hope you enjoy my list to get you started with the summer months! These are just a few things to get one started on their summer needs.

I am not complaining, but maybe I need to do a "How to Make Pictures Look Great Even with Sweat Pouring Down Your Back" Post!  That is not me today, but I am just preparing for the summer to come. Ha!  Today was another score from H&M. They do have some fun fashions this year, and I couldn't resist the rust color. Ok, that and the off the shoulder fashion. And the two slits in the front to add some sexiness and self-imposed air conditioning.  I bought this during  the Memorial Day weekend sales for $30 shipped.

IMG_7673IMG_7680Morning Everyone!I hope you had a great weekend! Boy, it has been hot here. I feel we have missed most of Spring and just entered right into Summer. 90 degrees and humid! Today, however, I have a collaboration to share with you that I am excited about. I suppose you know by now, I like jewelry. Unique, vintage, or one of a kind are my favorites. Accessories can certainly make an outfit, and this Larimar Blue Stone Cuff certainly adds to my look today. When I was contacted, I went back and forth a bit, as I wanted a cuff or bracelet to add to my jewelry collection. I do have small wrists though, and looking at them, I thought they would just fall right off my arm. Luckily, the metal adjusts to your wrist size, and I was able to select the one I wanted. This 3 band silver open cuff is elegant, classic  the Larimar stone certainly takes center stage. I love the 3 layers of silver with the beautiful sea blue stone in the center, its very striking!
