Working on the Spring/Summer accessories

Me, sometimes I feel like I'm having a good hair day and lip day so I snap a pic of me. Then I saw the photo and thought well I guess I wasn't but I will post it anyway cause I love those Target sunnies.

This years Spring/Summer accessories are all about Gold, well the purse is tan. (close enough) I decided mid-winter that I was going to base my Spring/Summer 2012 wardrobe around lots of Gold. Which is crazy because all my jewelry is silver not crazy because it just meant the Shop is on! The purse is Target, as well as the earrings, the bracelets and necklace w/circles are Lane Bryant and the other necklace is Touchstone Crystal.

what I'm loving right now!!

This past week, I survived a very crazy busy work week, a home party and 3 friends home parties. In spite of my busy work schedule I've been even more social then usual. As a treat for surviving my week I treated myself to these 3 items. 2 flats purchased from Target both on clearance 12.48 each 1 mustard yellow and the other patent red. Clearly not work wear but super cute and I can change into them when I'm done. The bag is the Market tote from Initials in Botanicals that I bought from my fellow direct seller Jean Dewey this company does free monograms. My bag has an @ and ? in orange. I think I'm ready for spring well that is till I see something else I must have. 

What I've been up to...

It's been a while, a long while. I have been busy decorating my home and working. My business has exploded which has caused me to neglect some areas of my life mainly blogging and fashion. Well we all know me and the fashion will come back like it always does and in some ways decorating is a form of fashion expression. Here goes this is what my living room looks like wish I would've taken some before.

End table knick knacks

Other side end table

View when you walk 

Loveseat in front of picture window. I wanted end tables w/lamps and the couch is too long for it so used the loveseat. I'm not a fan of oversized sofas but the BF had these before I moved in and they are fairly new so I had to make due. 

Then in my bedroom I added this, which I love

Detail of my favorite shelf.

Happy New Year & my favorite things this week.

Yes, Angry Birds but more importantly my Kindle Fire but its more for games for me as I discovered I much prefer to hold a real book in my hands.

My Morning pages journal, my quest is to do morning pages every morning this month. 

My new 2012 calendar I had the same one last year, Dayrunner Monthly Planing it fits in all my purses shows me the whole month and is pretty too. 

My new favorite sweater, from Bass Pro Shops (my secret favorite place) I like to say I'm girly in an LL Bean sort of way Dark gray w/fair Isle sleeves I just love fair isle when it's done right and tastfully.

OMG! I love my plastic tote made from recycled materials. I picked this up at the Getty when I went back home for Christmas. Love it so much hopefully it will inspire me to photograph more

Happy New Year to everyone!!

what i'm obsessing about right now!! Well not much to be honest...

Bean's Kingfield Sweater 

I love this sweater, it's a very traditional and conservative look for me but that doesn't mean I have to wear it that way.

Roaman's Fair Isle Tunic

this is not so conservative and I love this tunic modern twist on a classic Fair Isle.

Beans Waterproof Snow Sneaker
When the weather turns cold I tend to dress very outdoorsy conservative i,e, LLBean and Ralph Lauren becomes my style.

Sorry I couldn't add the photos but I'm still trying to figure out my new operating system. I know it's been a while but I have not felt very fashion inspired as of late. too busy working away and sleeping I guess. Not good excuses but as I've been focusing on paying down my credit cards and trying to figure my life goals and dreams fashion shockingly so has taken a backseat. It's not normal for me but it is what is happening in my life.

What's been going on...

It's been a very busy summer, full of massages clam bakes, picnics, beach trips girls nights and lots of outfits but mostly very fun. This is my age appropriate JC Penney's outfit and H&M bag and Avon shoes just got done getting a massage and on my way to a my AHLBC Booster club.

My afternoons have been filled with lots of days spent at the Duck Creek.

My neighborhood, summer has been gorg. Lots of walks since most of the days look like this no point in being inside.  

So been spending lots of time on this towel, at the beach getting my dosage of Vitamin D.

Southwick State Beach NY last weekend of August. I love the beach soft sand not crowded and beautiful. Summer is not long enough but makes me appreciate it more.

Crossing over Sandy Creek my favorite drive home from the beach.

Sunset at Rainbow Shores Restaurant, great dinner great view great company.

My BF's mom had a party and this is what I wore, Dress Kohl's, Sandals Target last year, Avon purse, hair straightened and used "It's a 10 on it and I am now addicted to it.

Girls night Kareoke, Scarf Target same w/sandals, T-shirt from El Mercado in San Antonio and cargo pants Old Navy, Sunnie's Target.

Had to get a pic of the back of my T-shirt Our Lady of Guadalupe she's got my back.

My Dress for convention dinner and boots both Avon, I will straighten my hair for this. Pondering jewelry for this.

I also experienced for the 1st time Mystery Dinner my son won the grand prize and we had a moment of silence because not all of us can be as smart as Alex. Which by the way he thinks on a regular basis.

The State fair started here in Syracuse and this is the Sand Sculpture a tribute to 9/11.

My current obsession is this polish by Essie called carry on.

I like this pin at Lane Bryant but not sure if I want to wear it.

Yes, I'm still selling Avon I this is the loot I got at my last meeting. I make it a point of always getting free stuff.

I've been spending my time reading about cheese and making cheese and hobby farms and of course yoga which I love and want to do more of.

& lastly I had to post this, it's a mother daughter dressed alike and neither is under 35 so I thought it fit my blog perfectly they both were in great shape but being that it's not the west it seemed sort of costumey in Syracuse. Oh heck rock it if you got it.
