IMG_7540Hello Ladies and GentsGlad you are here for #turnngheadstuesday. I seem to be obsessing over white lately. You all know I Love Color but can also be captured by white with a neutral palette.*Absolutely! I love a nice clean white look, bright and modern, that look where the white stays white and there is no sign of dripped coffee on your clothes, or it has faded to a "winter white." So, I must take advantage of my new white items before I  eat, drink, or lay in the grass for that next summer concert. :-)

Urban OutfittersHello LadiesAs I mentioned in an earlier post this week, "What goes around, comes around." We know this to often be the case the fashion trends. I remember in college wearing a favorite pair of brown beaded lace up espradrille sandals. Where did they end up?  They remind me of summer, the ease of wear and the style that goes with anything, skirts, white pants, shorts. There are ones made of leather, fabric, and ones that lace up. There are flats, one with small heels and then there are wedges. I had mostly wedges when I could wear them. ...

 IMG_7406IMG_7416Hello Ladies.I hope everyone had a Happy Mother's Day. I myself, am just mom to 2 little fur babies who are a great joy to me and make me smile everyday. My mom just recently spent about 3 weeks with us and we had a great time. Lots of talking, eating and drinking.  By now, if you read the blog, you know one of my favorite past times is going to Vineyards. I enjoy tasting different wines and as the weather gets warmer sitting outside on the wicker couches and sipping Sangria. So, yes, we were at another Vineyard. I truly am snot a snob about anything except coffee, tea and wine. Ha :-) It has rained nearly every day this past week, with severe thunderstorms which make my girl want to hide in the closet. So, today was one of those " I have to take advantage of it" Spring Days, at 80 degrees and sunny. I certainly have other hobbies ( music) but this is a favorite when the weather is just right. Soon it will be Charlotte POPS Symphony Season, yet another place to sit and enjoy the atmosphere.Today I am going to share a look that you may say.. Did I read "Corset-like" in the title, was that right? Well, when I went to NYFW last fall, and attended the Betsey Johnson show, I saw a look and idea that I thought may be fun to replicate. Perhaps it isn't for everyone, but I do like to experiment from time to time. Corsets were worn over blouses with skirts and wide leg pants. I thought the look rocked, so this is a bit more "conservative" as the top isn't a corset in terms of lingerie, but a sleeveless corset-like  top that I wear in the summer as is. So, when the idea came to me, I thought lets take a white  eyelet pencil skirt for texture a more proper white button down, and add the  pink floral with the thin ribbon detailed top, ) and pointed pink sling back flats for a fun and romantic style. Side note: caught in drizzle and wind... tough on one's hair! I added my lilac Coach bag for additional spring color.

 Hello everyoneI hope you enjoyed the weekend.  I will tell you more about our vineyard trip this week, and the rest of the weekend was spent doing blogwork, and a sometimes needed rest day. A rest day can consist of marathon tv indulgence, as I was watching an excellent British show with Hugh Laurie, "The Night Manager." Very Bond-esque. Anyhow, I thought I would share with you some of my picks for something trending now, this spring: Off the Shoulder or  tops and dresses.I do like this trend, and find it very flattering and sexy without being overtly so.Enjoy and...

 Hello Ladies!I hope everyone is enjoying spring like weather or at least getting a bit warmer. We were able to sit outside at one of our places we are deemed "regulars" and enjoy lunch with some red wine or beer. My mom has been visiting and we are taking her to our favorite places.  I admit many of them are wine bars! She has been enjoying her stay, and seeing family. When out,  Truffles is always waiting for something to drop to the ground, Gibby became interested in Molly, a Maltese/Shih Tzu mix. White, Fluffy, he is there! On another...

IMG_7099Hello Ladies and Gents,You all know me, at least most of my favorite styles by now. Yes, the floral fantastic profusion has begun! There may be an abundance of florals just ahead as the Spring season is here and the sun decides to emerge for more than a few hours. I do tend to wear many florals, maybe so much by some standards that they should be sprouting from my ears and  between my toes. But I can't say no! Florals are trending now, but I was wearing them prior to the trend, just like to see that I fall in accordance to some trends. My mom is now visiting traveling back and forth from my sister's house to ours, and I have discovered some pictures of when I began my love for florals. Looking through some pictures when I was younger, I was 10 and in a school presentation when I wore a blue floral dress I was quite in love with. Perhaps my obsession with florals began then.  I will have to share some of these images in upcoming posts.
