Hello Friends and Happy Fri-Yay!
Well we made it through another week and for that I am thankful. It was a roller coaster of events with all the strange things happening in the world. I continue to pray for the 3 kidnapped victims in Cleveland and no matter what he did in his past, Charles Ramsey, you are definitely to be commended for being at the right place at the right time – thank you bro!
The heat is on so I chose to wear a skirt instead of jeans as I normally do on casual Fridays.
Maxi skirt – Old Navy (last season) // Top – Rugged Wearhouse
Gladiator Sandals – DSW
I hope the temps remain high as the pool is scheduled to be opened next week!
Watch – Avon // Ring & Bracelets – jewelry box // nails be be done this afternoon!

Have a fantabulous evening – Smooches!

Hello Friends and Happy Friday Eve!
The weather is warming up nicely despite yesterday’s hail storm, yes, it hailed in Middletown, Delaware. I hadn’t reached town yet therefore, I missed it but my girlfriend posted a pic on Facebook (LIKE me) and it was awesome, actual golf ball size hail in May – this global warming ain’t no joke!
I am getting a little impatient with the weather and am no longer waiting to go sleeveless or wear sandals as evidenced by today’s outfit. I added a little pop of color to the black and white with a coral watch and ring. The brass statement necklace with matching earrings I’ve had for over 25 years and paired them with a hammered brass bangle bracelet.
Striped Skirt (old) – Marshalls // Top – GW Boutique // FUBU purse – Burlington Coat Factory
Pesaro’ Sandals (old)
Brass Necklace & Earring Set and Bracelet – jewelry box // watch – Avon // Ring – DIY Ombre with nail polish
Sunnies – Rugged Wearhouse
I am so ready to wear white jeans.
What are you most looking forward to wearing this summer?

Hello Friends and Happy Monday
Today’s outfit is the Avon color block dress which was first featured in this May 2012 post, wow, time sure does fly by! This time I decided to pair it with a little animal print from the matching earring & necklace set to the shoes and small pouch which was a DIY project.
This small canvas pouch was covered with surplus fabric using a hot glue gun. It’s a perfect size to carry a wallet, cell phone and keys.
The lucite earrings and necklace set was purchased at Jewelrymax.com and the lucite rings from Burlington Coat Factory
I love the touch of animal print in these black pumps from Rugged Wearhouse featured here in September

Hello Friends and Happy Hump Day Wednesday!
The weather so far this Spring has been two tone – warm one day, cold the next … sunny one day, raining the next…warm during the day and freezing at night. This afternoon it’s expected to be warm which is definitely a relief because the past few nights have been extremely chilly so much so that we had to turn the heat back on. I am not going to complain too much as there are states that are still dealing with snow and flooding which is far worse than anything we are experiencing.
In keeping with the two tone theme, today’s outfit is a combination of two trends:
Color Blocking and Black & White.
How is the weather in your neck of the woods?
Worthington Skirt and Top were both on clearance at JCPenney
Blending in the the tulips!
Black Bubble Necklace was hard to resist at $3.99 from Rainbow Shops
Purse (old) – Ross // Sandals – Avon

Hello Friends and Happy Sunday
I trust you all had a nice weekend and were able to relax or do something fun and exciting or both! I wasn’t able to clean out my closets but I did have a busy fun filled weekend which started with the honor of being chosen, “Top Blogger of the Week” by Sverve. I was in a fantastic mood as I headed out leaving my men doing yard work which wasn’t what my sons had planned for their weekend. While in town I stopped at my favorite lunch spot, The Java House Cafe where they were hosting a book signing by Christian author Richelle Rodgers. Her book, Forever Growing A Journey of Trust is a motivational book on empowerment and growing your relationship with God. Richelle is a retired Army Vet who remains very active in supporting other female vets and is currently working on a Women Veterans Leadership Awards Symposium to be held in DC this fall.
Today, The Java House Cafe hosted another book signing by author, Jacqueline Charmane, her 5th book, They Raped Me Once Over and Over Again, is a true story based on her life. She spoke briefly about some of the heart breaking events in her life including the emotional and physical abuse by both her rapist and husband as well as the the kidnapping of her son. I was fortunate to have had the opportunity to speak with each author after the events, purchased an autographed copy of the books, and took pictures which I will post later this week.
Today, was a bright and sunny day, a little cool but I had just purchased this Printed Cold Shoulder Dress from Avon and wanted to wear it to church.
It reminds me of a 70’s retro dress with the slit sleeves, do you remember Julie from The Mod Squad?
This vibrant floral print dress is only $24.99 for all sizes – S-3X
I wore navy blue heels – thrifted from GW Boutique (Goodwill)
Embellished Cross Collection Rings and Bangles – Avon
Earrings are silver hoops from jewelry box
Have a fantastical week – Smooches!

Give Me My Flowers While I’m Living
In this world today while we’re living
Some folks say the worst of us they can
But when we are dead and in our caskets
They always slip some lilies in our hand
Won’t you give me my flowers while I’m living
And let me enjoy them while I can
Pleae don’t wait till I’m ready to be buried
And then slip some lilies in my hand
In this world is where we need our flowers
A kind word to help us get along
If you can’t give me flowers while I’m living
Then please don’t throw them when I’m gone
Version:
Flatt and Scruggs
Sending these flowers from my house to yours – hope you’re not allergic!
Have a fantabulous day – Smooches!

Hello Friends, I hope you are having a Thankful Tuesday.
First and foremost I would like to offer up prayers and condolences to those affected by yesterday’s bombing at the Boston Marathon. Last night at the dinner table I once again emphasized the importance of being thankful, staying positive and living each day as if it were your last because tomorrow is not promised to any of us. The senseless waste of time on negativity and hatred is time that any of us can ill afford – Stay Blessed my Bloggy friends!
Not just today but every day, we have so much to be thankful for starting with the glorious gifts from Mother Nature. As much as I dread getting out of bed in the morning, once I’m up and out I feel truly thankful and blessed, how can I not be?
Top and Shoes – GW Boutique – Skirt – Closet Staple
Stacked Bracelets – Rugged Wearhouse, Avon and Flea Market Vendor // Ring – Michael’s //
Earrings – Dress Barn – don’t they match this top perfectly?
WHAT ARE YOU THANKFUL FOR?

Hello Friends and Happy Hump Day Wednesday
Today would have been my sister’s 50th birthday and as kids I would call her “Glori” , so what could have been a gloomy day turned out to be a Glori-ous one, my Angel still shines brightly – Rest In Heaven Glori!
It took a little longer to get dressed this morning because I’m still not wearing heels and the weather forecast called for temps in the 80’s . As much as I wanted to break out the summer gear I held back. Decided on this thrifted polka dot skirt from GW Boutique, red sleeveless top from Ross or TJ Maxx/Marshalls and Red Stripped Wedge shoes from Avon.
Silver Accessories from my jewelry box
