Hair Today

So, this is before..... and these are after....


Yes? No? Maybe so? Will we be seeing crowds of women clamoring for the new Victoria Beckham cut?

Feels Like Fall

These shoes were just delivered from Piperlime today and I feel like it's Fall!! The gorgeous color will be perfect as a "surprise" shoe under slacks, with skirts, or to accompany a woolen autumn dress. So soft and comfortable. This weekend is reserved for another fall boot and shoe order.

Give that man a kiss

Hurricanes are brewing on the East coast and this man takes a moment to stop and get flowers for some lucky girl (or guy?) Whoever it's for, I hope they appreciate his thoughtfulness on such a lousy weather day.

Pay It Forward

This is going to be fun and I hope you all will participate. Trina over at the wonderful blog la la Lovely did a recent post about paying it forward and doing something good & kind for others without expecting anything in return. I was lucky to be one of the recipients.
The way it works is simple. The first 3 people to leave a comment on this post will receive something special in the mail. However, if you are one of the first 3, then in turn you are asked to post this information and then pay it forward by sending something special to 3 others bloggers.

The "something" does not have to be costly but rather thoughtful, pretty and sure to bring a smile to the recipient. It can be something you bought, found or made.
If you'd like to join in .... be one of the first 3 people to leave a comment & then please just be willing to link back to my site, post the details and then pay it forward by sending something special to 3 other people.
I am a true believer that it is far better to give than it is to receive--but what fun to be gifted a trinket and know that someone is thinking of you!
So let the fun, begin... just leave me a comment and the first 3 that respond will receive a little something special from me (due to postage costs, this is only open to those in the U.S. - sorry)! It will be fun for me to check out YOUR blog, learn a little bit more about you--and figure out what special delivery to send!
And Be Good to People Everywhere!

Vintage

When I was in my 20's (and that would be in the 1980's) I loved and wore vintage clothes all the time. There was a fabulous boutique in Scottsdale, Sweetest Charity, that sold vintage clothes in immaculate condition. Unfortunately, I sold or gave away all the goodies I had bought there...what a child I was...they were so fabulous. Many of the clothes remind me of the gorgeous pieces in My Favorite Vintage-- I'm loving the 1930's evening gown..fabulous!
I only wish you could see these pictures from the 1980's of me and my vintage!(click on them to see a little closer) This was a navy gabardine 1940's dress with the coolest buttons that buttoned on the diagonal. Can you believe I did the beret? How funny was I? This one is from 1985--my hair! My husband looks like a high schooler!We were going to some fancy schmancey ball and I wore a dress from the 1920's- peach silk with white hand stitched beading all over it! I remember I was so fearful that the beads would come off in my chair the entire night!
So, I'm actually feeling like I'm not losing my entire memory...just a few parts here and there (see post below) Word to the wise--take pictures- it helps clear out the fogginess!

whatever happened to--

I think I am missing a part of my brain. Here's the story. In a weird chain of events, I am going to have lunch with a high school friend from thirty years ago. We were cheerleaders together during high school...and that's about it. That's what I got. No other memory really slaps me in the face.

I contacted another friend of mine from high school who seems to recall everything during those years. She tells me that I can call her my "holy keeper of the memories". She could actually tell me anything and I just might believe her..."and don't you remember when we ran across the field naked? or when we shaved our heads?" I'm a basketcase for those years.

Memory friend regaled me with stories about my relationship with cheerleader friend...I had no memory. No "aha" moment. I told her I need to be the PSA for staying clean and free from recreational drug use during college years. I can remember a few moments during my four years of high school but at reunions...fuggedaboudit. Who knows? Maybe having no memory of teenage angst is a good thing.

and hopefully you're working hard at a job you really, really love and it will make it SO much easier to be nice to everyone around you. Have a great day!
