Hello friends and Happy Saturday, I hope you had a great day and are winding down to a relaxing evening. I finally broke my “thrifting fast” and went to Goodwill in Dover and Smyrna in search of a few blouses and skirts. On the top of my list were a white blouse, a houndstooth skirt and anything colored oxblood – JACKPOT I found them all and then some!
All of these items were $3.75 a piece except the shoes which were $6.00 a pair
– Worthington Gold tone blouse
– Alfred Dunner blue/black animal print shirt
– Talbots multi color striped top
– apt9 Oxblood blouse
– Talbots Houndstooth skirt
– Style & Co silk polka dot blouse
– Dressbarn black suede skirt
– Romantic Souls pumps
They had some other nice looking shoes, unfortunately they didn’t fit well.
I love these shopping baskets on wheels at the Goodwill in Dover, the store where my sister last worked and I could only smile thinking about her. RIP Gloria!
My next post will feature the items thrifted from Goodwill in Smyrna.
Have a fantabulous evening – Smooches!

Hello friends and Happy FRI-YAY!!
I love this time of the year, the autumn colors are so vibrant and the air is crisp and clean ~ “it’s beginning to look a lot like Christmas”. Here we are, one week before the infamous “Black Friday” shopping frenzy, though some stores are opening on Thursday now being labeled as “Black Thursday”. Will you be out shopping or standing in long lines waiting for the latest gadget or gizmo? I’ve never done it but really want that $99.00 camera deal being advertised by Target – aah I can wait.
Today is casual Friday so I decided to wear a khaki skirt with a sweater and booties.
Attention Booties – Kmart // Khaki Skirt – Goodwill // Khaki Creme Striped Top – Kmart
The beauty of autumn colors is breath taking!

Hello friends, I hope your day was stress free and you are now home relaxing comfortably in anticipation of next week’s madness! I do not shop on “Black Friday” but I do like to look for bargains the week before Thanksgiving. Today I stopped in at Kmart in Exton, PA and found several bins containing the summer line of various cosmetics, including Milani and Wet n Wild. I’ve never used Milani but have heard good things from YouTube Vloggers so for the price I decided to pick up a few products.
Milani Lip Sticks were $2.50, purchased Creamy Cocoa, Fushia Freeze and Orange Gina.
Milani Lip Glosses were $2.00
Milani Eyeshadows were $3.00, purchased Fusion, Intermix and Drench in Gold
Milani Nail Art was $2.00, purchased Art of Gold
Wet n Wild Bronzer was $1.49, purchased Princess 741A
Wet n Wild Foundation/Primer was $2.99, purchased Medium
I saved a few dollars and added to my cosmetic collection which is always a good thing.
Have a great night – Smooches

Hello Friends and Happy Hump Day Wednesday.
Today is Tayair’s first day of work – Yay, Congratulations and welcome to the wonderful world of adulthood! He was hired as a seasonal employee for Amazon.com and will be packing those wonderful holiday gifts being shipped from Delaware.
Today is also “Preppy Day” at Appo High School and here’s Malik’s version of being preppy.
Today was also the first time I used the tripod and timer and I must admit that it’s harder smiling for a camera when there is no one behind it – lol
OTK Boots – Ross // Skirt – Marshalls // Sweater – Walmart

Let the Holiday Shopping Begin with a Party!!!!
I absolutely love my Miche’ (MEE-CHEE) Bag so I decided to host an online party and everyone is invited!
The conception of these bags which is one of those “why didn’t I think of that” moments began in 2004, with a spill. Instead of exchanging all the contents inside one bag to another you just change the exterior of the purse. The purse styles and interchangeable options are extensive including straps and accessories. Shipping is also quick, I ordered mine on a Saturday and it arrived on my door step Wednesday.
I think I will wear these two prints for the months of November and December and then order two more for the Spring
My online party is for 7 days, so head on over to GottaGetThatBag.miche.com and click on Antionette Blake to view the catalog and place an order.

Hello Friends and Happy Tuesday. Now before you begin…I know…these tights look horrendous with this outfit! Yes, I did look in the mirror and Yes, I tried on several pairs of shoes before settling on this pair but I walked out of the house like this anyway! Oh well, I’ll chalk it up to a “never wear this combo again” hmmm, maybe should have worn flesh tone hose instead…
