Hello Friends and Happy Veteran’s Day
I trust you all had a wonderful weekend and if you are off today honoring a Vet I do hope that you are enjoying the day, unfortunately for me I have to work.
Happy Veteran’s Day in our neighborhood.
The month is already flying by, can you believe that we have less than 18 days until it’s Thanksgiving 2013?
This is what I wore on the first casual Friday of the month which was by far the best beginning to November that I can remember. After an early morning mini downpour, the temps rose to 78 degrees with bright sunshine, it was almost summer like.
Do you remember this pink suede jacket that I thrifted last year from GW Boutique? The sleeveless tank was thrifted earlier in the year also at Goodwill.
I found these “pink bottom” loafers at Rugged Wearhouse – aren’t they cute?
Have you started planning your Turkey Day meal or will you be eating at a relative’s home instead?
We haven’t made any plans and I am not looking forward to asking hubby because it will be the first one without his mother….maybe we’ll just stay home and have a quiet dinner.
Thank You Vets for all you have done for this country – Stay Blessed!

Hello Friends, I hope your week ended well and you are now home safe and sound. After work I stopped at Tar’Jay to make a return and of course took a detour to the shoe department. Winter is not yet over and the North East is being hit with a major snowstorm, however, retailers are busily stocking their shelves with Spring apparel.
Target is having a BUY 1 GET 1 50% OFF on their shoes and accessories and my tootsies were getting excited in anticipation of being free again. The details on Mossimo shoes are getting much better, check out some of the latest styles currently on display.
There were still a few clearance items on the shelves including boots which will be needed for at least another month. However, the Cap Toe heels and loafers were no longer available and most likely were shipped to Goodwill stores in the area. Target, being a good Corporate Citizen donates a lot of their unsold merchandise directly to Goodwill where even better deals can be had.
Enjoy the rest of your evening – Smooches!

Hello Friends and Happy Fri-Yay – Fri-Yay – Fri-Yay!!
Our local forecast was way off, we only got a few flakes early this morning and now the sun is shining on this a beautiful crisp Winter’s day. What are your plans for the weekend, will you be doing something fun outdoors? Not me, tomorrow I’ll be stuck inside my closet thanks to a mini avalanche that occurred last night.
Less than a minute after hanging up a shirt the top rack came crashing down taking down the one beneath it as well. Thankfully I had just stepped back otherwise I could have been hit in the head with falling purses! (don’t laugh, it was a hard hat zone!) I could only just look up and stare, hubby said, “you have too many clothes” – bite your tongue man! He offered to re-do my closet with sturdier material so tonight off to Lowes we go. I wish my closet looked like his…..
and not like this!!!!
Today’s outfit was born out of the chaos in my closet. The scarf which was hidden on a shelf along with the boy’s baby blankets and box of teeth – (what do you do with baby teeth?) was the palette. Most of my shoes are covered underneath all those shirts so I am wearing a pair of the loafers I just bought from Target. They were still in the spare bedroom and had never made it into the closet along with these purple jeans.
Scarf – closet staple // Sleeveless shirt – GW Boutique (Goodwill) // Cardigan – Walmart // Skinny Jeans – Citi Trends // Loafers – Mossimo via Target // Ring – MizOutlet.com // Bracelets and Earrings – Jewelry Box
All in all I think I made the chaos work for this casual Friday – what do you think?
Linking up with Casual Chic Mom, You Like Me! and perfect for today FRIDAY CHAOS with ohsoamelia – hop on over and meet some new bloggers.
Have a great afternoon – Smooches!

I have a LOVE-HATE relationship with Tar’jay – I love their clothing and shoes and of course their awesome clearance sales but I hate that I can’t resist leaving without making a major purchase. I drive past Target on Route 202 everyday and have been patiently waiting for their Cap Toe shoes to go on sale. They were the “must haves” for the holidays with many bloggers Instagraming pictures, but I refused to pay full price. I wanted a pair in red so last night I finally decided to stop…OMG!!!
Unfortunately, I was unable to find a pair of red, Cap Toes in my size but I did get these jewel-toned, embellished and zebra print loafers for $7.48 pair!
I checked the accessories and found a tote in Cognac which is a very neutral color that works well with most outfits.
I also purchased two pencil skirts and 2 tops but if you are looking for colored skinny jeans they have a large assortment of colors and patterns most priced below $20.00.
Don’t forget to bring in your own reusable bag for an additional 5 cents off per bag. Check your local Target for more amazing clearance deals – Happy Shopping!

Hello Friends and Happy Hump Day Wednesday. The weather forecast for this afternoon and evening is high winds mixed with a dusting of snow. Instead of the dress I had prepared to wear I chose to be uber comfortable in a pair of pants and flats. These blue wing tips were purchased in the early 2000’s and are the most comfortable loafers that I’ve ever owned. Blue side zipper pants paired with a long sleeve t-shirt in honor of President Obama’s reelection makes my casual outfit for the day.
I hope the snow holds off long enough for me to get into the state of Delaware because I hate driving in bad weather especially in the dark.
Have a fantabulous afternoon – Smooches!

Hello friends and Happy Fri-Yay!! Today it’s casual and comfortable to work wearing jeans and loafers. Saturday I will start my day at the Farmers Market hawking my wears trying to make a little extra cash. Later in the afternoon I will be heading to Dover to meet my cousin at Dover Downs. She is taking a bus trip down from New Rochelle, NY and I hope to turn the little cash into something larger – wish me luck and good fortune!!

On Friday, after Tayair and I left the cemetery we stopped at Spencer’s Bazaar Flea Market and then Rodney Village Shopping Center. There will be a separate post for Spencer’s Bazaar that features unique items made and sold by a high school friend. Our next stop was to the Goodwill store where Gloria once worked before she passed. I walked around for almost 30 minutes and could not find anything, eventually I found a belt for $1.00. Within the shopping center which is really a strip mall there was Beauty Max, a large beauty supply store. Hubby needed new hair clippers and I was looking for a “weekend wig”. After finding a cute FreeTress unit on clearance for $19.99, a lace front, the hair clippers and some nail polish we decided to head home.
As we were leaving I noticed a store called Citi Trends, I had never heard of it but decided to stop in and check it out. The clothing was along the lines of urban gear for the younger crowd, but I found a cute pencil skirt, a cuff bracelet and a spike ring. (posted on Instagram @ablake48). Tayair wasn’t interested in anything but I knew Malik would be, so on Saturday I let him drive us back down to check it out. While he shopped I took time to look around and ended up getting these shoes and dresses. Malik wore the Canvas Lace Ups and watch to school which is probably why he was so anxious on going today.
Malik’s Purchases
Purchased this FreeTress Wig (Lyon Girl) for $19.99

Instead of attending a Fashion Night Out (FNO) event, I went thrifting at the Salvation Army in Wilmington and found a few fall pieces. I am not sure of their pricing policy or if it’s the same at all locations, but everything here ended in .99 cents. The clothing and shoe prices are a bit higher than Goodwill but less expensive than a Consignment shop.
Issac Mizrahi For Target Skirt – $4.99
Briggs Harvest Suede Skirt – new with tags from Sears – $7.99 (blue tag = 50% off) – $3.99
Talbots Green Suede Skirt – $5.99
Blue Skirt – $4.99 (blue tag 50% off) – 2.49
Clairborne Mens Jacket – $9.99
Leather Loafers – $5.99
Leather Pumps – $7.99
