It’s been really a full month and August has just begun. I think that we will finally get a break from the intense heat.
I have been wearing mainly skirts and dresses. I am loving the yellow because it just gives a soft glow to the face. Bright color can warm your complexion and make you look youthful and full of energy.
If you mainly wear dark colors try a little yellow. Whether it’s a blouse or a scarf headband and see if it brings a smile to your face. Color gives a big boost to your entire persona.
Take a chance and brighten your wardrobe with a piece of color.
Doesn’t color make you feel like walking on sunshine? I am humming the song now, I’m walking on sunshine yeah and don’t it feel good!

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!

This has been a busy week and it’s been extremely hot. The temperatures topped out at 102 degrees yesterday after several days of nearing 100 degrees. I hope everyone is keeping cool and enjoying the weekend.
I recently purchased Light and Love, the new eau de parfum by Jennifer Lopez from HSN. I am a big fan of JLo’s fragrances. I have been wearing Glow, Glow After Dark and Love at First Glow for a number of years now. Whenever I wear a JLo scent, people always stop me to say how great the fragrance smells. When I heard that JLo was coming to HSN with her newest fragrance, I had to give it a try. I am happy that I added Love and Light to my fragrance collection.
The Fragrance notes are:
- Top Notes: Mandarin, pomegranate and red currant
- Mid Notes: Rose crystal absolute, velvety apricot and jasmine petals
- Base Notes: Patchouli, sensual musk and praline

Outfit inspiration
I had to wear this outfit when I think of Love and Light. The green color reminds me of how earthy and feminine the scent smells. I bought the blouse about three years ago from JC Penney Outlet for $6 and the skirt was free.
My accessories:
Bracelet -Studio Barse
Ring – Nolan Miller
Earrings -Macy’s
Handbag – Dooney & Bourke
My necklace was a birthday gift from my hubby about four years ago. I am a May baby, so emerald is so appropriate!
My headband was a dollar at a local beauty supply store. I find so many neat hair accessories at a price that can’t be beat.

I use to wear hanker chief scarves when I was ten years old and I have loved them since that time.
The weather today was almost 100 degrees so this blouse works so well and is breathable.
I love jewelry and handbags because accessories truly finish an outfit.
