Hot for Fall: Isaac Mizrahi Cardigan!
I am head over heels for a colored cardigan. It is feeling confident and stylish at the same time. Isaac Mizrahi’s cardigans are very figure-flattering and really spice up my jeans and trousers. I have to mention the bold colors, the pinks and reds, just light of my face.
Isaac is one of my favorite designers. When I put on one of his pieces, I feel feminine and in my element.
My wide-leg jeans are from the Miss Tina line that was at HSN about three or four years ago. The jeans are looking great after all this time. To me, the wide leg makes the jeans look more polished. My boots are from Steve Madden and have become one of my favorites boots to wear anytime of the year. I heart them so much my hubby bought me a second pair.
I am attempting to do one of those model poses where they swing around their purse in mid motion. Okay twirling in circles.
In this picture with me is one of my puppies, my collie, Vinny. He is a sweet little boy that loves to hug, play and have fun.
Stay tuned because I will be styling this cardigan in other ways because it is so versatile.

Music Corner:Alanis Morissette: Havoc and Bright Lights
Alanis Morisette is back with a new album. Havoc and Bright Lights debuted in late August. I remember back in the mid-nineties Morisette was so popular. I would hear her music constantly over the radio. She will be touring North America and Europe over the next several months. So if you are looking for Alanis Morissette tickets this would be the time because they may be selling out fast in your area.
She is highly successful for her debut album in 1995, Jagged Little Pill and the BBC said it sold over 33 million copies. She is an accomplished singer/songwriter, has won multiple Grammys and Juno awards. She is now married and has a son. Having so many accomplishments some would think that she would be content, but that is not Alanis. She is coming back with this project after a four year break. Her life is not the same so I cannot compare her new album with Jagged Little Pill. Her music is very personal so it would have to be different because it is evolving.
Morissette’s first single from the new album is Guardian. This song reminds me of my guardian angels looking out for me. I included the video below. She is wearing wings. I wonder if she is thinking about guardian angels when she wrote this song? Hmmmm.
This album is very different because it is not filled with anger, sadness, pain and not really chaos either. This album seems fresh to me, with a woman who is happy with her life and enjoying the moment. To think that she would have to try and come out with the same type of album as Jagged Little Pill would show no growth.
The Havoc and Bright Lights playlist
- Guardian
- Woman Down
- ’til You
- Celebrity
- Empathy
- Lens
- Spiral
- Numb
- Havoc
- Win and Win
- Receive
- Edge of Evolution
My highlights
- Guardian – A song that reminds me of my angels watching over me.
- Win and Win – I really like the beat of this song.
- ‘Til You – Love song (partial to those kind of songs)
This album is worth the listen because it’s a different Alanis but packs the same punch.
Wordless Wednesday: Part II September Wedding Anniversary Memories
It took me some time to put these pictures up because I was not the weight I would have like to have been. I was dealing with some medical challenges at the time and the medication made me bigger at a time when I wanted to be in the best shape. People told me I looked great; but I did not think so. I so loved my wedding day; but I was not happy with the way I looked. Well Praise the Lord, I am healthier now and I lost over 50 pounds. I have a lot to be thankful for because I married my best friend and we can renew our wedding vows next year and on our 15th wedding anniversary. So here are the pictures.
Jay and I so happy we are officially married.
Happy that I am married to my best friend.
We love Italian food so having the reception at an Italian Restaurant hall was perfect.
My daddy stepped on my train by accident so I am holding it. Jay caught off guard in mid take of picture.
My nails were mega long, I can’t have them that long when I am practicing piano.
My Daddy is with the Lord now so this is even more of a special picture to me. My mother-in-law is so sweet and kind. It is a pleasure to be a part of the family.
