Twitter - Who Do You Follow

Do you Twitter? Who do you follow?

Loving this pic of Lisa Rinna. Love the hair and the animal print. Rocks it.

Too cute. Love her show Bethenny Ever After.

Gossip Girl back on Monday. Finally.

Happy Spring Bird's Nest In Apple Tree

Happy Spring. Loving this bird's nest in my apple tree.

Jean Jackets

Jean Jackets. What a great transition into spring. If you need one, check your local Goodwill, I have spotted several, or check Old Navy, fun jacket to have. Love it with black and with dresses.

What's your take on jean jackets?

Bees Nest

This crazy bees nest was in my fruit tree after all the leaves fell off this year. Is this huge or what? Totally hidden by all the leaves.

Denim - Chambray Shirt

When cruising the Goodwill, you never know what you will find. I ran across tons of chambray/denim shirts. Then I ran across this great JCrew Selvedge shirt. Denim for fall. How do you wear your denim?

BCBG Arabesque Double Wrap Watch

I love the look of the double wrap watch. BCBG has come up with one that has a leather strap and in an amazing price range. Yep, $115. That is amazing. So your choices are a BCBG store, or: http://www.bcbg.com up to you. Great watch. Watches are the new in accessory. Hey, since cell phones, watches have had to become an accessory, not an every day item.

Dallas the TV Show -- Retro Past

Ran across as cast photo of Dallas, the TV show and was wondering which of the fashions from the late 70's early 80's would be returning? Hmmmm. Any guessers out there?

Striped Shirts and Popped Collars

Running across this image made me think. Oh, and I was also, getting my crisp White Shirts ready for summer. So, it made me think...Do you pop your collar? I haven't in quite some time, but I love the look. I think I will this summer. You?

Vintage Vogue - What is old is New in Fashion

I love looking back to the past for fashion inspiration. Vogue always inspires me. The photo below (don't know where it is from) is Jane Fonda. Notice that Plaid is back in fashion this season -- check Ralph Lauren. Also, notice the chunky bangles, again, great style for this season.


I just love this ad. I like the pearl button earrings. I also like the pink scarf around her neck.

Enjoy.

Halloween!!

A Halloween Image from Better Homes and Gardens to enjoy for the weekend. Have a great early fall weekend.

Succulant Purse - To Make - Great Handbag

Talk about great fashion. Look at this adorable succulant purse from Smith and Hawkins. Wow. Wouldn't this look great on an outdoor table? Or how about a sunny dining room. Fashion for your home.

Project Runway Season 6 - Lifetime

I love project runway. I have watched it for 6 seasons. I guess you could say "I'm In!". This year it is on Lifetime. Only 2 shows have run so far -- so, if you're not watching. You should. Still time to get in. Love this weeks challenge of the Maternity clothing. No spoiler her, won't spoil the fun for you. What is also great is that they run it twice in one night, so you can catch it at a later time, then they normally run it during the week. I haven't picked my designer yet, will have to let you know.

Rachel Zoe Project - Season 2 on Bravo

If you haven't caught the Rachel Zoe Project on Bravo you are missing some fun. Let's just say "I die, and Banannas!". I will be curious to see how the recession will impact how she styles. It was touched on a bit in the first episode of season 2 by Roger, but not really much by Zoe. I know the award shows toned it down a touch, so again, let's see how they do with the recession. It is a fun lighthearted show that takes a peak at the stylist and what she does. It is great for all you fashionistas out there. The one great thing she really preaches is to take a few minutes to yourself to get dressed. You can have that Ah Ha moment!! Oh, and let's just say jewelry, jewelry, jewelry!! Monday nights on Bravo. Of course it is opposite Gossip Girl, so you will have to DVR one and watch one. You gotta have your Gossip Girl, right?!!

Reading -- James Patterson's The Quickie

Summer is for beach reading, shopping, and getting buying back to school clothes and supplies. This begins the question - What are you reading? I remember when this came out in hardback, held it at the Library and never picked it up. So imagine my thrill when it was on sale at the grocery store for $4.79 today. Yeah for me. Can't wait to start reading it. It is that new tall and skinny size (sounds like I am describing clothing) that they are making the paperbacks in now, they say it is easier to hold and read. Clothing tomorrow, reading today.

Pandora Charms - Dancing Ghosts

I was just thinking of Halloween the other day. Then I saw these wonderful Dancing Ghosts from Grandin Road, which every year I say I am going to make. Maybe this year. Anyway, it got me thinking I need a ghost or pumpkin for my Pandora bracelet. Pandora Ghost below.



Pandora Ghost -- love it. I think I have to have it.

Cooking - Fashion - Chex Muddy Buddies

Yeah!! Julie & Julia starts today!! Here, is the fashion part......Remember when your mom wore an apron? Does anyone wear aprons today. When cooking spaghetti sauce the other day it was kind of splattery, so I changed into an old t-shirt. I should have had a fashionable apron.

I can't really cook....So, a personal favorite of mine is the Chex Muddy Buddy. Recipe to follow.

Julia Child in a cooking demonstration. Chicago Tribune Picture. Wish I could cook.

1/4cup butter or margarine

Swishing Parties

Bored this summer? Have a swishing party. http://www.swishing.org/. You can host your own swishing party. What is swishing? It is simply, swaping or trading clothing with your friends. You could even do a theme one, where everyone bring shoes, or purses, or tops only. Make it personal and make it your own. Most of all you will get more clothing and so will your friends. Or go to the web site and see if there is a swishing party near you.
