60's Red White and Blue Dress

Polka dots are fun!  This red and white polka dot dress is eye-catching and the pearls are so First Lady like.  Reveal your exuberance in a sophisticated kind of way !

60s Red Polka Dot Dress

The two piece dress below is an 80’s style.  It reminds me of the 80’s soap opera, Dynasty actress Linda Evans because of its attached shoulder pads.  I was always an admirer of Linda Evans because of her ability to adorn her wardrobe in spite of her height and broad shoulders.  To all the tall broad shouldered Lovelies out there, you can also stride in style!

Accessorize any of these outfits or one of your own with these fabulous jewels and handbags.

I'm seeing RED

Red lips that is! Now that fall and the cooler weather are here, I'm ready to bust out the various shades of red lipsticks I have and wear them around town. I usually live for the weekends because those are the days I can get dressed up. As much as I love staying home and running my Etsy shop, I do enjoy going out on the town with my husband.  I am usually fair skinned and can pull of the the red lips. However, I'm hoping the tan from the awesome summer I had, fades...and FAST :)

Not the greatest pic, but the red lips aren't too shabby, right? :D

About to go out...ugh, I need a new hairstyle, but I'm lovin the lips

NOW THIS is what I wish my lips looked like:

Of course, who DOESN'T want to look like the FAB Dita

or Marilyn...she's GORG and so sexy!

Well, I'll have to start taking more pics of myself with my shades of red and see which one you all like the best. That may have to be my first poll! 

Have a great day lovelies!

In My Shoes...

Since this is a holiday weekend, I decided to do my post for tomorrow, today. I know I will be entertaining tomorrow and won't have time.




“I did not have three thousand pairs of shoes, I had one thousand and sixty”
-Imelda Marcos


That's what my mother calls me...Imelda Marcos. She claims I have too many shoes.  Actually, my husband claims the same  thing. He believes it so much, that he said that when I buy shoes, I have to get rid of a pair I already have at home...I was like WHAT? Are you kidding??  That's absurd! 


Anyway, I thought about the shoes I wore in the 80's and thought, let me see if I can find some...sure enough, I did. The flood of memories came over me when I saw them.  I guess it just reminds me of a simpler time for me. Not having to worry about bills, a job, kids, a husband and life in general! 

omg, remember these? I had some EXACTLY like these!

Have a great Memorial Day Weekend and stay safe!

My Favorite Local Designer

I am ashamed to say that I've been hiding something from you guys. Something.....actually, someone amazing. I don't know why, but I've just now thought about sharing her with you :)


Some years ago when I started working for UT, I met LaTarsha Williams aka Delmonicole. I got to know her as a person and we became pretty good friends.  She had always mentioned how she would love to start her designing career. We would always talk about how each of us would love to start our own businesses and not have to work for "the man" :)


Luckily for us, we were both able to start our dreams.  For her, quite literally. Let me explain...when we would discuss her ability to come up with fashions, she would tell me that her designs would come to her in her dreams!! She would describe to me how her dreams would dictate what her next design would be.  It was just amazing and so are the creations...which is why I just had to share them with you.  I'm hoping that she'll start creating plus sized designs because we are in desperate need of a good designer!! :)


Below are a few examples of what she's created:

As you can see she is UBER talented and creative! I wish her all the best with her Delmonicole clothing line.

If you are interested in any of the above designs, you can contact her directly at delmonicole@yahoo.com

Her website will be up and running soon! It's www.delmonicole.com for future reference.

Etsy showcase

My friends have been asking me how my Etsy store is doing. I keep saying, it's ok, but not the results I want.  Today, I decided to look into showcasing my items.  I figure it's worth a shot. The most I will lose is $7.

I clicked on the "purchase showcase listing" and the earliest they have is for Sunday, May 16th! It looks like these spots get sold out fairly quickly. I'm taking that as a good sign. Perhaps just having the spotlight on my store for 1 day will generate a lot of traffic to my store and will result in lots of sales! ;-)

In the meantime, I have a lot more to add this week so that when my store is showcased, I will have more to sell. It's just so time consuming to take pics, upload pics, list the items, describe them, measure them, etc.  That's why  it takes me a few days to put a couple of items on there.  I'm not complaining, it's just that  I've had people ask me if that's all I have on my store.  I have to explain to them that there's more coming, it just takes a little time.

Well, wish me luck.  I will let you all know how the showcase goes.  I have a few friends on Etsy and I'm sure they could benefit from this too, if it works.  I'll definitely let you know fellow Etsy sellers!
