With Winter and it's bare, cold chill, I wanted a look with texture and a dark, romantic vibe. This outfit I called "Dark Romance" for a Valentine's Day inspiration, as the brocade, lace and velvet lends itself nicely to this style.
Morning friends!Tomorrow is the day - we leave for San Fran and Wine Country! I can't wait to explore and will later be bringing you our trip here, on the blog. The linkup is still on. so do stop by!
Today I am bringing you another Fall look from Soft Surroundings. I just love their soft garments, the styles and detail in their clothing. This dress, the Raffinato dress, a soft, medium heather grey sweater dress, called to me from their Fall collection. I love wearing sweater dresses in the Fall and pairing them with boots/booties. "The mastery is in the stitch work, as the sweater dress discovers European refinement in this shapely slip over. Varied knits sculpt the waist and minimize the shoulders" The flouncy hem of the dress and shape adds to its sophistication. 
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!
