Sunday’s Fashion Quote

Fashion is the abortive issue of vain ostentation and exclusive egotism: it is haughty, trifling, affected, servile, despotic, mean and ambitious, precise and fantastical, all in a breath — tied to no rule, and bound to conform to every whim of the minute.
William Hazlitt

So there!

What Is a Mother?

A mother is a person who seeing there are only four pieces of pie for five people, promptly announces she never did care for pie.
Tenneva Jordan

Happy Mother’s Day! Hope that you will have an amazing day! As we speak, I’m having breakfast prepared for me. I could get used to this!

Saturday Shopping in your PJs - Dior Arabesque Flat Sandals

It’s Saturday and that means it’s shopping day. And online shopping is getting to be as much fun (if not more) because you don’t have to get dressed, put on your makeup or fight the crowds at the mall. So, here’s today’s deal…

Dior Arabesque Flat SandalsYou have to wonder just how many different variations a designer can come up with when designing a pair of sandals. Well, here is an example I don’t think I have seen yet. It’s featured at Saks under their “Exotic” sandals line. *You might not be able to see it, but the shoe features a tiny D to let everyone know that you are wearing a Dior sandal.

Sterling Silver Hummingbird With Elegant Flowers Charm

Sterling Silver Hummingbird With Elegant Flowers CharmI was just looking at my charm bracelet this morning and as much as I talk about doing it, I have yet to add a new charm. It’s been far too long, but it would make a perfect Mother’s Day gift! We have zillions of birds in our backyard these days. Maybe this little charm will attract some hummingbirds. And if your Mom doesn’t have a charm bracelet, that might be a nice idea as well. I love taking mine out of the jewelry box and remembering all of those special times that each charm marks.

Carlos Falchi Python Shoulder Bag

Carlos Falchi Python Shoulder BagI thought that I would go looking for a bag that would compliment the dress below. I think that this just might do it. Coming in at 13×9 inches, it would make a nice sized evening bag, but I have been trying to carry a smaller bag when I hit the mall. It’s not easy deciding what to take and what to leave home, but I have to admit, my shoulders are thanking me. I was getting used to aching shoulders every time I went shopping. Apparently, it doesn’t need to be the case. Just carry a smaller bag.

Lauren by Ralph Lauren Duchess Satin Strapless Dress with Large Bow

Lauren by Ralph Lauren Duchess SatinYesterday I featured a dress with a bow… well, it seems that the trend is catching. Here’s another one! You will find it at Macy*s coming in at $240.00! What do you think? Do you like this one better than the one I showed you yesterday? Do you like both of them or will you be waiting around for next season that will probably be sans bows?

Benefit Hollywood Glo

Benefit Hollywood GloI love this company and if I get something for Mother’s Day (hint, hint) I will be a very satisfied Mom. Today, this product caught my eye and I would love to try it (hint, hint). I have been noticing that my skin is pretty white at the moment and white doesn’t look good on me. I need color or people ask me if I’m feeling okay. I’m not kidding!! A touch of this over my moisturizer might be all I need this summer.

“This glimmering rose bronze facial glow gives your complexion a warm, delicate sheen.”

And I do love the bottle. Whoever does the designing for the company knows his stuff.

Can’t Quite Decide - Antonio Melani “Crystole” Dress

Antonio Melani “Crystole” DressIt looks as if bows are big time popular this season and I know that the bow on this dress is the focal point, but I’m just not a hundred % sure that it’s working. That’s where you come in. Tell me what you think. I do love the black and white combination. Looks very fresh and crisp. Just can’t decide about the bow. Come and put me out of my misery.

Shorts With a Punch of Color

billy blues roll cuff shorts I love the color of these Billy Blue Roll Cuff Shorts, especially when it is paired up with a simple white t-shirt. Add a pretty pair of sandals and you are ready to turn heads. The shorts are also available in white, cobalt, black or this color… guava! Thumbs up or down? I’m curious to see if people like the bow in the front??

Tory Burch Resin Clutch

Tory Burch Resin Clutch This is rather pretty and like nothing else I have at the moment. I think it’s the texture of the bag that caught my attention.  It reminds me of drinking straws and strawberry milkshakes?? I have no idea where that came from… but I haven’t had breakfast yet, so maybe that’s it.

And just in case you are wondering, it comes in black too. Black licorice?? Okay, I’m heading down to breakfast right now!

$295.00

*Choose Provence (pink) or black resin with ribbed detail. Provence, goldtone hardware; black, silverton. Signature logo medallion. Leather lining. 4 1/2″H x 8″W x 1″D. Imported.
