I have always loved to mix and match bracelets and see how other people do it because each person has their own individual spin on it. Loving the arm party!

It’s hot all across the country and it makes me yearn for a cool breeze. Well it might not be cool right now; but I sure can give my opinion on heels vs flats.
My hubby takes my pictures and while editing images I looked at this photo with my high heel circa Joan and David heels on. The shoes made me look so much taller and I am over 5’7 in stature.
Women wear heels for a reason and it’s not just because the shoes are cute. It is more to it than that, I believe it is a psychological thing because heels add height and give off such a different look then wearing flats. I don’t know if it’s a feeling of ultimate chicness or it makes my thighs look smaller. These shoes are not comfortable after three or four hours but they look so pretty to me.

Now in flats I think the look is cute, but I love looking taller.

So when it comes down to it, I enjoy wearing both heels and flats. Heels don’t make your feet hurt more than flats, because flats can hurt too. Make sure you can wiggle your toes in your shoes. When you go to the store to try on shoes go at the end of the day because your feet feel different in the morning than when you have walked in them all day. It’s such a bummer to walk around in shoes that aren’t comfortable. Remember shoes can be cute and comfortable.

Gio is a fiesty and fabulously playful beagle and he will howl at you in a minute. I am holding him trying to calm him down. Calm down a beagle what was I thinking.

It’s so hot today. I think when it gets past 90 degrees it’s just plain hot and in my neck of the wood we have humidity. All I want to wear are natural fiber tops, crop pants, skirts or dresses.
Where I work it’s nice and cool in my office so I sometimes wear long sleeves. This skirt from Chadwicks of Boston is one of my favorites. I really like the print of the skirt and I can wear it with so many different tops and blouses.
I am so into accessories. I think an outfit is not complete without a piece or two (or three) of jewelry. My hubby’s birthday is in September so the blue in the ring and the blue nail polish is reminiscent of that. The ring is also very Princess Diana; because her wedding ring was a blue sapphire circled in diamonds. I love hearts so this gold heart bracelet was such a great find; one of my all time favorites. The color in my purse from coach is almost neutral because I can wear it with everything.
My watch I purchased on a cruise I went to in March and it was a bargain. My ladybug bracelet and others on my arm are gifts from a few years ago.
I also purchased these metallic wedges from Chadwicks of Boston. I have had them for years; but they are still going strong and they are comfortable but oh so chic.
Stay cool everyone!
Tonight is the Sade concert!

Well it’s my birthday and I am loving every minute of it. Thanking God for good total health. Having loving friends and family. It’s a good thing!
Well I have been eyeing these La Victoire sandals for a while and they are my early birthday present from the hubby. Thanks Sweetie!
The shoe is a piece of artwork that is meant to be seen and admired. The leather inside and out of the sandal is soft and pliable. This shoe has a low wedge heel and it gives stability and I really like the sturdiness. Some of these styles of sandals are so flat that my foot wouldn’t have any stableness.
The leather the studs the crystals. My eyes are mesmerized by the beauty. I know in the picture below I may look like I had something I needed to wipe off of my sandal but honestly I am looking at all the crystals and studs in the shoe. Pretty amazing!
So comfortable.
I have to strike a pose in these shoes because they are simply so chic. This shoe can go from after five to the beach it all works.

B. Makowsky Leather slingback
These shoes are so pretty and so wearable with skirts or pants. No they are not 6 inch heels but these shoes are to cute. Grommets give this slingback an edge.
The B. Makowsky shoe line is available at QVC.com. The shoes above are a 2 3/4 inch heel so you can have some height and comfort.
This gem of a shoe is definitely on my spring 2011 wishlist.

I really needed some new glasses. I wear contacts and glasses so I split the time between wearing the two. I went to Lenscrafters and they have such a nice selection of glasses.
Looking for eyeglasses try these tips:
1. Are the glasses flattering to the contour of your face?
2. Are the frames heavy? If the eyeglasses are heavy you will not wear them long so need to venture long on a decision with this one.
3. The price and is it really worth it? Do you have insurance that will cover new frames and lenses?
4. Try on a variety of pairs of glasses and then narrow down your decision.
Drum roll please!
I chose the Chanel eyeglasses because I love the way they frame my face and the frame color matches my hair, go figure. One other great item that sold me on these glasses were the real pearls on each side of the frame.
The pearls epitomize the iconic glow of Chanel. I had to have them.
