A Year in Fashion

A quick glimpse into the book I got for Christmas [ a year in fashion ] I received a lot of feedback and questions regarding that, so, without further ado, here it is. I hope you like this mini peek into "a year" in fashion...... melt some chocolate kisses over that popcorn, that's how I do it. ;]

And some just layed around in bed

And I did, this morning. The sun wasn't showing her pretty face. So I read some more of my coffee table book that came in, by mail yesterday. A Year in Fashion. (photo, courtesy of Amarillo-blog.) There's nothing cozier than cuddling up on a dark morning, in bed, reading all about FashionFashionFashion!



Here I am in pajamas, but somehow still respectable, I think. haha. As you can see I'm donning my favorite hue; purple. I think Sweety wanted to bite the charm off of my bracelet. She loves to bite things, as she is still teething.

The video above is of Sweety playing with her tennis bone toy this morning. (This was for Nita Karoliina.) the song is by the decemberists xx

a Splash of Thanks!

Daisy Bella, I was as pleased as a peach after receiving your scrumptious goodies in the mail (and Audrey-to boot!) Thank you for the warm gifts and equally kind card, my dear. You know how to make me smile.

Daryl Hannah single handedly turned the t-shirt dress into an idea that truly worked. In Splash, also featuring Tom Hanks, Daryl manages to bring the mythical mermaid to life; a very stylish one at that! This 1984 classic still remains a favorite. Where is Bloomingdales?

I want to say a GINORMOUS (meaning: really, really big!) thanks to all of my readers. I certainly do enjoy receiving your commentaries and wonderful feedback, as well as viewing each and every one of your blogs. It's almost like being welcomed with open arms to a very large (and very fashion forward!) family. Thank you.

Take Two.

The first take is below, was short* and about to cut off 1 minute.
I read regular literature as well, I just went off on a tangent. lol..

Check Out My Store.

I realized that I tend to find really fun items in my own closet as well as in Vintage shops and thought to myself, "why not start my own store?" I will keep an eye out as I continue to collect more items to add to the store, from up-to-the-minute trends to back-to-basics simple classic statement pieces...

This Audrey dress is for sale here

For now feel free to check out what I have up so far. Click photo.
ENJOY ♥

I'll never let anyone put me in a cage!

Donning a classic LBD by Givenchy and vintage Chanel sunglasses while noshing on a morning breakfast of croissant & coffee. Her decadent "up 'do" is the final icing on this cake of awe-inspiring lovely-ness!
