WHAT'S IN MY BAG

Image
The super stylish  Stella of J'adore Fashion  tagged me in her What's in your bag post.  Prepare yourselves for something dreadful!!! lol THE RULES 1. Take a picture of your bag. 2. Take a picture of its contents. 3. Explain! 4. Tag as many bloggers as you want, that you'd like to see the contents of their bags. Don't forget to mention the person that tagged you... My bag that I carry pretty much daily to work is this B. Makowsky Jakarta bag. I searched high and low for this puppy which is an older model and I finally found one on eBay for $110. This bag retails for around $300. I love this bag but if any of you own a B. Mak bag you know that they are super heavy because of all the fabulous hardware and quality leather. So needless to say that once I put all of my junk in it then it becomes a weapon!! lol  I love that I can wear it on my arm or shoulder because of the longer strap.  This is what it looks like inside my bag What's inside....yes all of thi

A VERSATILE POLKA DOT SKIRT SUIT

Image
A couple of months ago I found this fabulous polka dot skirt suit at a thrift store here in Dallas. I decided to show a couple of different ways to wear it. The weather here in Dallas has been crazy...there are tornado warnings as I type!! Since I have been unable to take pics outside due to days of wind and rain I decided to play dress up and have my hubby take a few snaps of me in my bathroom. OMG... we have to evacuate for a tornado!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I'm back...safe and sound... THANK YOU JESUS! 3 tornadoes have hit here in the Dallas area. We took shelter in the hallway of my building for 2 hours. It seems the tornadoes have moved on toward another direction. WHEW!! SCARY!! And now back to our regularly scheduled program....the outfits! ;-) Here I am wearing the skirt suit with a stud belt from Lane Bryant and my Jeffrey Campbell wedges. I apologize for the lighting in the pics.  Added my K-Dash moto jacket Here I am wearing the shirt over top of a hot pink Anne Klein s

DFW BLOGGER NETWORK MEET UP AT THE BODY SHOP

Image
Last Saturday the DFW Blogger Network met up at The Body Shop inside Northpark Mall here in Dallas, Tx. Many of us (including myself) had never been to The Body Shop. Well let me tell you...I have been missing out!! The staff was so friendly and they shared many stories with us about the history of the store and its all natural products. Here is what The Body Shop believes: "We've believed this for years and still do. We constantly seek out wonderful natural ingredients from all four corners of the globe, and we bring you products bursting with effectiveness to enhance your natural beauty. While we're doing this we always strive to protect this beautiful planet and the people who depend on it. We don't do it this way because it's fashionable. We do it because, to us, it's the only way." The store catered in Chick-Fil-A (my favorite) for us. We ate yummy chicken breakfast biscuits, strawberry yogurt, coffee and juice. The Chick-Fil-A rep was such a sweetie

MY FAVORITE RANDOM HEAD SHOTS

Image
When I first started my blog I didn't really know which way I wanted to go as far as what sort of pictures to post. So I decided that I would just post daily outfits of what I wore to work. Being that work is where I spend the majority of my time and what I use the majority of my clothing for.. it just made sense. Each day I would have one of my co-workers take a pic of my outfit (I am quite sure I got on ALL of their nerves)!!haha Needless to say after a couple of months I could not keep up at that rigorous pace so I decided to stop the daily posting. Some of the pics I posted, others I decided not to post at all and later most got deleted from my blog.  Below are a few of my favorite head shots.
