The horsies beat the kitty kats !!!

I didn't have a favorite team before I went to my friend's house for the big Super Bowl party. But as I was deciding what to wear, I figured that I have been to Denver 3 times, but I haven't been to the Carolinas (but will be going in June), so I would go Broncos !!!!

Here's my shout out to Peyton and the horsies:



I'm running for the goal line!!! This is a Saks Fifth Ave Black cold shoulder top and some ancient white drawstring pants. I wore a silver necklace that my mom gave me - the neckline of the top is already somewhat embellished.



On my right arm,


My Swarovski Nirvana in Black Diamond and a costume silver tone and crystal bracelet. On my right arm



Another silver bracelet (real) and a diamond/sapphire twisty band. I busted out a pair of summer shoes, since it was 82 degrees and beautiful yesterday.



For the party, I made fresh fruit salad. I started with a lemon juice glaze.



Then I added mango nectar and made a simple syrup with the juices.


This sat overnight. In the morning, I chopped up a bunch of fresh fruit.


There were bananas, canteloupe, granny smith, fuji, nectarines, a red pear, and oranges. I added thawed mixed berries.


I also added three kinds of canned fruit


Apricot halves, fruit cocktail and pineapple. They were all packed in juice. I added a bit of pineapple juice, but drank the rest. On the top, I made a yogurt dressing.


Then I decorated it with pomegranate juice, more honey, and pine nuts.



Et voila!!!!





 It was literally snarfed up. Today, it's back to work. I have an important meeting today, so here is what I wore:




My black scuba and ivory Venice lace dress by Jax. This little beauty really needs very little in the way of adornment, but you know me - I can never leave well enough alone. So I wore my JC Penney cross necklace.


On my right arm, a leather/crystal cuff that I got as a souvenir in Baltimore and the Nirvana again.



On my left, the same silvertone bracelet and twist ring as yesterday, with a marquise solitaire added for luck.



One last thing - we went to Big Lots on Saturday, and I got these fuzzy butterfly hangers. They were 2 for $2. They are supposed to be used for storing scarves, but I will be using them to hang my accessories for the following day on my outfit hook.



And that's it, except for some links!!! Deb from www.elegantlyfashionable.com has Classy Monday, while How I Fall is going on over at www.pinksole.com, which is Rachelle's blog. And Patti at www.notdeadyetstyle.com has Visible Monday.

Have a great day, and see you tomorrow!!!
