Hi Elegant Friends,
Hope you had an awesome weekend and a fabulous Monday!
I ask the question, “What does it mean to be in love forever? To share a bond that will never separate.” Is it easy? No! Is it worth it? Most certainly yes.
Having God as the center of our relationship I know is the key.
I put these questions in your mind because my hubby and I went to a friend’s wedding this weekend. The couple was renewing their wedding vows after 30 years of marriage. Totally awesome! The couple looked so grand. A highlight was when their son came down the aisle with shades on, a cell phone and a briefcase in his hand labeled ring security. That was really cute, he was really looking like a secret service agent.
The wedding reception was beautiful also, the talented husband and family of musicians. It was a privilege to attend such a special occasion.
Everybody was line dancing and having a lot of fun.
I get questions often on what to wear to occasions like this one. I love to dress up, however I like to be comfortable yet chic at the same time. I wore black and white which can be typical. However, I kicked it up a notch by adding a contrasting of color in my tights.
I enjoyed wearing this outfit it is breath of fresh air. Would you believe I have on a dress with a close fit to the body cardigan? I constantly say get pieces of clothing that work for you in your wardrobe.
If you wear black or monotone, add an eye-popping tight to your ensemble , completely changing the game.

Hello My Elegant Readers,
I know many of you, as well as I, cannot wait to see the first episode of Season Three of Downton Abbey premiering on your local PBS station on Sunday, January 6th. (Check your local listings for the time in your area.)
The exquisite manor house, the sprawling estate, and the intriguing characters with their elegant costumes has made this the must-see series on PBS’s Masterpiece Theater for the last two years. Julian Fellowes, creator of Downton Abbey, interwove in the major events of the 1910s into his story-line. From the sinking of the Titanic, to World War I to the Spanish Influenza epidemic, Fellowes and his production team expertly told these stories and accurately brought the fashions of the time-period into the first two seasons. Their work garnered several Emmy nominations for costume designs.
Season 3 picks up where Season 2 left off. The First World War has ended and the Roaring 1920s are in full swing. I cannot wait to see how the fashions evolve into the new decade.

To see the changes in fashion in the series really brings back my days of studying costume history. If you really would like to get a sample of how women in fashion changed through the years, then this show is for you. The story line is captivating with the on-again, off-again romance of the Crowley sisters. And the fashions will draw your eyes in for more.
This is one of my favorite costumes from Downton Abbey on Sybil in Season 2, one of the three Crowley sisters. This is the first glance of a lady at Downton Abbey wearing pants. Oh my gosh! Oh yes, she’s wearing pants. They almost look like harem pants, so chic.

If you will be watching Season Three, let me know what you are hoping to see happen with the plot line.

Happy New Year Elegant Readers!
I recently filmed a Youtube video on the Tarte cosmetics kit, “Treat Yourself To Gorgeous,” that I purchased from QVC.com.
Treat Yourself To Gorgeous Kit by Tarte on Qvc.com
[youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gsNPeVx_RGg&list=UUn2vsUCgv8ZAmgJFD4v6SFw&index=2[/youtube]
The kit that I am reviewing in the video includes:
Includes:
- Four 0.11-fl-oz maracuja divine shine lip glosses in Darling (a soft pink shade), Brazen (bright rose), Genuine (sheer, creamy pinky) , and Giddy (soft coral pink)
Qvc.com
- Four 0.01-oz cashmere waterproof eyeliners in Black; Black Brown; Bronze (golden brown); Black Orchid (black purple)
Qvc.com
- 20 0.06-oz amazonian clay eye shadows in Macaroon (shimmering white); Privacy Please (light pink); Canary Diamond (pink gold); Truffle (eggplant); Tiramisu (matte soft brown); Bellini (champagne); 24 Carats (shimmering gold); Safari (silver); Cabana (copper); Locket (bronze); Bubble Bath (matte white); Ice Wine (raspberry); Sailboat (gray); Match Point (green); Gossip (purple); Stiletto (denim); Skinny Dip (matte taupe); Frozen Hot Chocolate (beige pink); Velvet (burgundy); and Tahitian Pearl (charcoal)
Qvc.com
Items made in Made in China/USA
The kit packaging is gorgeous, but the brochure is missing a key factor to state how many times the applicator needs to be clicked before the lip gloss comes out. And the eyeliners do not retract back after they are are retracted out. If you buy this kit be warned of that. I do not want you to loose any product. I paid $49.00 on three easy payments because it was a Today’s Special Value. The kit was not available after the Today’s special but it is now on Qvc.com’s website for $61.00.
