X Marks the Spot
Friday, November 30, 2018
Ever since I was little girl I have been fascinated with treasure chests. I would see one in a movie and I was always so excited to see what was inside it! I even loved when there was a restaurant that would have a big treasure chest and they would let kids pick a toy from it. I am not sure what I loved more the cool things inside or the surprise.
You can imagine my excitement when Mary Frances created the most perfect treasure chest bag called 'X Marks the Spot'. I don't think I have ever seen a more unique detailed bag in my life! Definitely my favorite bag in my collection! Every single detail is perfect. When you see my photos below just take a look at everything, you will be amazed. The bag actually looks 3D being covered entirely in beads, with gems, jewels and treasures pouring out of the front of it. I love that there are actual necklaces coming out of it. One of the necklaces is actually a locket that really opens too! The strap of the bag is nicely padded which I noticed the second I picked it up so it is very comfortable to hold.
My favorite bags from Mary Frances are always the novelty designed ones as they are truly the most unique but Mary Frances does carry classic designs as well, such as cell phone bags, backpacks, coin purses and more! I do believe she offers something for everyone! Please check out everything Mary Frances has to offer by clicking here

Live your Color - Tabbisocks Interview
Monday, November 26, 2018
One thing I love to wear is socks!! I wear socks with pretty much every pair of shoes that I wear except sandals as I just can't! LOL. I do wear socks out of necessity so why not wear some that have some attitude!
Tabbisocks have the best socks and I was so honored that they asked me to do an interview with me for their 'Live Your Color' feature a few months back.
If you would like to know a bit more about me please check out my full #LiveYourColor interview in the link by clicking here!
Below are the photos I took a few months back for the Live Your Color interview but please check out my full interview on Tabbisocks' website!
A little story behind the ducks in the photos below. My husband and I were just starting to take these photos in the park and these 3 ducks came running up to us out of nowhere. We were quite surprised as that seems quite unusual. We gave the ducks a little snack and noticed that one of the ducks had fishing line wrapped around it's foot. We took quick action; I held onto the duck and my husband untied and untangled the fishing line from the duck's foot. So glad we were there to help! The 3 ducks seemed to just stick around after all that and I happily had them in my photos with me!

Black Tulle
Thursday, November 15, 2018
Winter has arrived as you can see from my pictures and I am already ready to move right back into spring. LOL! I love autumn so much but it's way too short here and then winter arrives quickly. The best way to make the most out of winter is by wearing some fabulous clothing! Don't you think?! Not very often do I wear an all black outfit but this gorgeous skirt (click here to see it) really deserved to be in the spot light. The tulle layers on this amazing skirt are really cool and I love that they are staggered and at different lengths to give it a unique look. You may think a skirt like this is uncomfortable to wear but let me tell you this skirt is so comfortable. The waist is a made with a very comfy elastic so this skirt just slips on so easy and the many layers of tulle are so soft.
This skirt may not be something I wear every day but I am sure happy to have this piece in my closet and I will wear it when I want to feel like a princess!

Sweater Weather
Thursday, November 01, 2018
I think we have all heard of the saying "it's sweater weather"! Well it is definitely just that! This is the time to bring out all our fun sweaters that we have in our closets or get a few new ones! I do love a classic black sweater as it goes with everything but I absolutely love a black sweater that has some fun detailing too! This black sweater from Chicwish (click here to see it) is such a cute piece and the hand knitted daisies down the side of each arm is really something special. I love that a sweater can be something that you throw on with a pair of jeans or you can wear it with a skirt to make it more dressy. That all depends on how I feel that day but I love the versatility.
We haven't seen much sun here in the past few weeks so I was happy to get a few minutes in the sun when taking these photos. The only thing is the sun isn't as warm as it used to be back in the summer months. I am also kind of sad about the time change this weekend, when we set our clocks back an hour and the sun goes down earlier! I am more a fan of having the sun later in the day than in the morning. Any one else feel that way too?

Blue Paisley
Thursday, October 18, 2018
I have mentioned before that I can't have enough coats and jackets in my wardrobe! I absolutely love them! The reason why is they are basically the icing on the cake! If I am wearing a beautiful outfit and I have to cover up because it's cold when I go out I want to put on something just as pretty over top of it. Don't you agree?! I know a coat or jacket can be a bit expensive but they are an investment piece that you will wear for years and if you find the right one it is so worth it!
When I saw this paisley velvet coat from April Cornell I had to have it! April Cornell makes the most perfect coats, jackets and cover-up's (See all available pieces here: Canada - click here, USA - click here. This jacket is absolutely perfect for fall being made in the softest cotton velvet! I absolutely love velvet and it's nice to see it in such a lovely paisley print. The empire waist shape is very flattering and I love that the bottom half of this jacket has no buttons so it's open making it super comfortable and unique.
