Hello Friends and Happy Saturday, I hope you had an enjoyable day.
I am sitting at the kitchen table sipping Ginger tea trying to accept the fact that son #2 is no longer my baby. He and I had planned to go to Best Buy to purchase Dragon Speak software and an external DVD drive for his Notebook. I asked him to take a few shots before leaving and as he reluctantly did, he informed me that we had to be home by 4:00 because his “girlfriend” was coming over. “Girlfriend…girlfriend…did he say girlfriend?”
I was all smiles as he hadn’t told me yet
Huh, what did he just say?
Don’t get me wrong, he is 16 and has had crushes on girls before but this was going to be the first time I was actually going to meet “his girlfriend”, the first time a girl was coming to the house. I know…I know…but I’m gonna need something stronger than this tea!
And he knows that if he doesn’t do the right thing, these will be up his butt!
Just grin and bear it…..

I very rarely if ever pay full retail price for any article of clothing or accessory and I rarely if ever shop at the stores in the mall. However, yesterday was one of those rare occasions because I stopped at Best Buy which just happens to be next door to the Concord Mall. I love the various clothing lines at Boscov’s but you really have to take your time because of how they have them set up throughout the floor. It was late and I was heading out the door but a 75% off clearance sign grabbed my attention. I only spent a few minutes going through a few racks and purchased 3 items, totaling $32.74.
NY Collection Embellished top with bat wing sleeves ($48.00) on sale 5.99
Brown Premise Pencil skirt ($58.00) on sale $14.50
Chaus knit top with faux leather shoulders ($49.00) on sale $12.25
No matter how hard I try, I can never seem to find anything at H&M, but at New York & Company it’s a different story. Not that I needed more jewelry, but when the sign reads 80% off, it’s too hard to resist! I purchased two statement necklaces one in red and another in blue for $4.59 each, original price was $22.94.
Leopard print casual sweater ($36.95) for $11.08, and sleeveless green top ($36.94) for $7.39
If you are looking to add more jewelry to your collection, I suggest you check out New York & Company – I may go back because they are sending me a coupon for completing the survey printed on the receipt!

Hmmm….perhaps I should start a Bucket List too!

Hello Friends and Happy Fri-Yay – Fri-Yay – Fri-Yay, the first one of the new year.
I don’t know about you, but I feel exhausted! Perhaps it’s because the highs of the holidays are over or simply because I need more sleep…whatever it is, I’m just glad that the weekend is almost here. Today’s casual Friday oufit consists of 5 shades of Purple ~ socks, boots, scarf, gloves and eye shadow. Does it remind you of “Barney” – “I Love You…You Love Me” – lol
Scarf – Rugged Wearhouse // Jeans – Citi Trends // Boots – Value City // Stripped Top – Old Navy // Leather Gloves – grandmother’s
Have a fantabulous weekend – Smooches!

Hello Friends and Happy Friday Eve !
Wow it’s already Thursday, are you looking forward to first weekend of the year? It seems like the holidays flew by and the Valentine’s candy is now starting to fill the store shelves. Speaking of stores shelves, I stopped by the Concord Mall last night and found some great bargains at Boscov’s and New York & Company. They each had clothing and accessories marked 30-80% off, I’ll show you what I got in a separate post.
Today’s outfit was also a bargain as it was totally thrifted from GW Boutique -aka- Goodwill
Leslie Fay Suede Skirt // Apt 9 Blouse // Joan&David Pumps // Talbots Lime Green Blazer – all via GW Boutique (Goodwill)

Hello Friends and Happy Hump Day Wednesday!
Now that the holidays are over and everyone is back to school and work we are now looking forward to the first major snow storm of the year. If I had it my way it wouldn’t hit until late March and then a quick thaw straight to Spring! I hope your Hump Day is progressing nicely and that you are not trying to cram 5 days of work into 3, but if you are, stop…take a deep breath and say, “the weekend is almost here!”
Belt or not?
I didn’t wear it to work because I felt it would take away from the necklace, what do you think?
Sweater – closet staple // skirt – GW Boutique (Goodwill) // Chinese Laundry Suede Pumps – DSW // Necklace – Flea Market Vendor // Snake Ring – Avon

Hello Friends and Happy 1st Day of the New Year 2013.
Last night I stayed up until 3:00 am watching The Twilight Zone Marathon so today slept in until noon. I love the first day of the year because it’s perfect for laying back and relaxing. I purchased a Foot Bath from Walmart last week, it was half price and something that I really needed. To the warm water I added Lavender Epson Salt purchased from Dollar Tree and a few drops of aromatherapy oil which made it even more relaxing.
Instead of polishing my nails, I chose to use Sally Hansen Salon effects Polish Strips. The pattern is “Skinny Jeans” and was on clearance at Walgreens for $2.49. I have tried other brands but have found Salon Effects to be the easiest to install and lasts the longest.
