Can one have an elegant wardrobe for the holidays and still be on the Good-For-Planet-Earth road of slow fashion (look for well-made 2nd hand/make-it-yourself/buy from local designers or producers)? See what you think after the looks below. In getting ready for a holiday get-together, casual or dressy, I’m inclined to pick silk, velvet, or beadedContinue reading “Going For The Gold: Elegance In December Holidays”

Red Fit and Flair
We all have our LBDs but do you have your little red dress? I’ve been having fun styling my red fit and flair lined dress by Calvin Klein. It’s always a favorite of mine for special events. This dress has twenty-four gores–can really swish & swing–and is so much fun to wear. Using three stylings,Continue reading “Red Fit and Flair”
The One I Almost Left Behind & 2nd Loved 1st Friday Link-Up
About fifteen years ago, I was rummaging through my favorite local flea market (still my favorite). I usually went there then to find vintage glass and kitchen ware. However, on that summer day, I saw two Pendleton 49’ers hanging in a back booth, both in good condition and each only $5! I grabbed the oneContinue reading “The One I Almost Left Behind & 2nd Loved 1st Friday Link-Up”

Everyone needs a black dress. Of my top ten of things to have in my closet, the LBD is number one.

I took my little black dress and restyled it four ways using accessories: bags,Continue reading “The LBD-2nd Loved 1st Friday Linkup”
The Kampala: A Well Connected Bag
A bag can be utilitarian, a status symbol, the “it” item of the year, a work of art, a connection to someone or the past….I am sure I’m leaving something out. And of course, bags are just things. They do not live, breathe or have a heart and soul. But some bags can connect usContinue reading “The Kampala: A Well Connected Bag”
My Sew Sew Life-Something New in Bamboo + Cydney Ross
I had trouble coming up with an opening for this post. That doesn’t surprise since, until recently, I had a creative block on what to do with this gorgeous piece of bamboo fabric. For over six years, this fabric was in my stash. When I first saw this coral woven bamboo at a Sew Expo,Continue reading “My Sew Sew Life-Something New in Bamboo + Cydney Ross”
Romance & Lace 2nd Loved 1st Friday #4
Lace and romance is my theme for 2nd Loved First Friday #4. This look is the result of an absolute blast I had on Senior Citizen discount day at Goodwill.
