I am all about a bargain and the Mariah Carey peep toe pumps are a sheer deal of the century. HSN had there fashion day clearance about a week or two ago and I couldn’t resist these Mariah Carey peep toe platform pumps. The pumps look like they should be on display in a museum.
I can easily see this on display, the pumps literally glisten. Surprisingly these shoes are comfortable for me, the heel is about 5 1/2 inches but the platform takes the pressure off the bottom of my heel. Genius!

This is the longest amount of time that I have been away from my blog. My church entered a contest that required the congregation to vote everyday. It’s for an awesome cause – the G2G Back to School Rally which helps kids get school supplies and other much needed items so that was my priority. The contest ended this past Sunday at midnight and the winners will be announced next week. We are believing by faith that we rank in the top three. I also have a full-time job and have other day-to-day priorities. I’ve been doing well but it’s been a full agenda.
I want to also give a shout-out and some kudos to the St. Louis Cardinals who are the National League Champions and playing in the World Series. Hip Hip Hurrah! Michelle Obama and Mrs. Biden are in St. Louis, watching the first game tonight. I am wondering if she will be wearing a St. Louis Cardinals jacket? We will see! Since she and the President are from Chicago, it would not surprise me if she had on a White Sox ensemble.
And to kick it off my hubby entered into a boot contest because he loves boots. I spent time working on his photo shoot pictures.
Here are some samples of the photo shoot that was in the top running for the choice to enter into the contest.
This was a second choice
Well my hubby really like the photo below so this is the one that was chosen.

I am going for a shameless plug here, but it is for my hubby. I am voting for him because he deserves to win. He is a great husband and he really strives to put God first and by doing that he really treats me like a Queen. The contest is on the Dan Post Boots Facebook Page. Click HERE to go the page. He needs your vote to help him win the contest!

It’s the start of a beautiful week and when I come home from work I like to kick back in the backyard for a little while. The doggies love to play, Vinny can catch a thrown stick until he’s tired. The week can get busy so my home is my castle. It so good to enjoy my hubby and my doggies and do things around the house.
JT and Gio in the backyard
This outfit is simple and some days I like it that way.

We have to enjoy everyday because there’s so much to be thankful for. Sometimes I feel like the week goes so fast and I have to just stop and take a look at the flowers, kick the leaves in the air and try to catch them. Have some fun! My doggies know how to play!

JT loving the blues
This week has been so sunny and beautiful: cool mornings, warm afternoons and cool nights.
During the transition from summer to fall, you may not be able to break out your heavy tights; but there are ways to work in some of your fall favorites to make your look season appropriate.
JTwisdom
With the cool mornings when you don’t want to wear a heavy jacket, try a simple cardigan in a warm hue. I love variations of blue and it’s so cool that teal is really hot this fall (no puns indented). I recently purchased this teal cardigan from Marshall’s and I coordinated it with this floral dress that I bought on sale at Macy’s about two years. I love the variations of blue and green tones in the dress and the cardigan works so well that you would think that they came together as a set.
JTwisdom
Add a completely different color handbag so your look is not too monotone. A blue or green handbag would have made this outfit seem too ordinary This variation of color adds a bit spice to the outfit. Add variations of color to make your look different then everyone else. Who wants to be a carbon copy? Not me!
Working the Blues
For those early fall days, tights are not needed yet in my neck of the woods. I can go bare legged with my leather B. Makowsky studded cut out wedge sandals. My earrings are lever-backs amber sterling silver earrings. I am really loving the Amedeo bangle cameo bracelet so I work it with this outfit (notice that it’s a splash of red).
Hair
4 day young two strand twist-out
I re-twist my hair every night
I use
Carol’s Daughter hair milk
Wen Pomegranate Replenishing mist
Carol’s Daughter Mimosa Hair Honey
Twist and add a satin roller on the ends
I have six twist on each side of my head and two at the top of my head
In the morning
Unroll satin rollers
Untwist and style
Add coconut oil for sheen
or Carol’s daughter oil sheen spray
