Hot August

A gaseous cloud of heat hovers over the pavement. The leaves of the trees are wilted and tired by each days end. Grass nettles are tipped with a scorched brown tint and the children have parked their bicycles for favor of the air conditioned comfort of video games. It’s August and it is HOT. What can one wear to afford some sort of cool comfort?

Say goodbye to the little black dress in favor of the little white dress. As we all know, white reflects and black absorbs.

Show your toes some sun and air by treading with open toe sling backs.

Protect your eyes with proper sunglasses that have UV protection in the lenses.

Umbrellas are not just for the rain. If out between 11am – 3pm shield yourself from the high glare of the sun with a light colored sunbrella.

For your skin; the repetitive chirps of wearing sunscreen is music to your dreams of ‘aging well’.

Beat the heat with these suggestions:

Drink lots of water, refresh yourself with Evian facial mist and cool your insides by eating succulent fruits.

Be Cool. Be Healthy. Be Happy.

Bag Lady

Purses, Handbags, Bags…(whatever you choose to call the thing that holds all your stuff) have never been a big deal to me. I know that sounds “anti-fashion” but they’ve always seemed fussy and prissy to me. I’m not much for dressing prissy but I have been known to be fussy. But, alas, yesterday I stumbled, and fell, over these cool bags with a touch of reclaimed western chic from TOTEM SALVAGE out of Texas naturally. Admittedly, I have some cowgirl in me but these sweet things will go with anything I normally wear. No, my dears…probably not with gym shorts and crocs but you wouldn’t find me in that unless I was being tortured. This company also produces furniture and other accessories. Check them out at http://www.totemsalvaged.com.

The products tend to blend vintage fabrics, textures, patterns and materials like leather and hardware to produce this western vintage chic a dicky cool. Hey, I tell ya, combing unusual materials is a true talent and most assuredly a little horse sense never hurt anyone!

Mother’s Day Gift Idea #2

So, if it’s not wrapped then it’s flowers…but try a little something more original. Flowers are nice, but perhaps give her something she can look at and remember you for years to come. This simple but classy bracelet will go with anything in her closet and LOVE says it all. Don’t you agree?

Soft Beige Binge

Massimo

Louis Vuitton

Valentino

I’m a bit obsessed with Beige right now. I love the color..or “non”color of it. Beige with metals and beautiful strong eyes and nude lips. Oh yes! This combo is a winner!!!!!

Beige is a color known to encourage feeling of relaxation and conservatism. Beige is easygoing and non-assuming yet elegant; allowing your personal charm and beauty to shine forward. Beige, beige, beige…

Halloween Treats

Yep, I have boyz in the house! Tell me one kid that doesn’t break out in a giggle when someone mentions “poop”, “doo-doo”, “snot”, and “fart”…!? I rest my case. Even though MY boyz are too big for treat bags I just had to share my treat bag idea with you all. Maybe the parents and teachers won’t love you so much…but the kids will ALWAYS remember you for this! Be brave this Halloween and eat some Spider Snot, or some Bat DooDoo, or better yet..some Ghost Poo! I dare ‘ya!
