Sniffy Sniffy Cough Cough

Well, I finally got the cold that everyone around me has already had. That makes 3 colds this year. Either I am becoming more frail, or the viruses are becoming more virulent. Anyway, here's what I wore to wipe my nose:

It's a red Calvin Klein pirate sweater with gold grommets and aglets. I am wearing it with a skirt by Ann Taylor that is a metallic plaid. I wore a gold tone chain link hip belt with it.

I also wore my gold necklace with the big square crystals.

On my right arm,

A red leather cuff with crystals and a ruby cocktail ring. On my left arm,

A garnet/diamond ring and four rose gold tone bangles from RJ Graziano.

I forgot to give Elli her Cesar dog food before I left for work yesterday, so I texted Doc and asked him to do it. But I also requested that he give her a different flavor than yesterday. Here was his response:

Two Thursday links - first,  Nicole at www.highlatitudestyle.com has Top of The World Style. Then Alice at www.happinessatmidlife.com has Throwback Thursday.

Have a good day, and try not to get sick - Oh Woe IS ME.

Mucho March Madness

Here at work, we just had a big event last week, and we are planning an even bigger one next week, so it's a tiny bit hectic. I didn't get a chance to post yesterday, so today you get a two-fer. First, yesterday, I wore this:

This is a Calvin Klein scuba dress that I got with the gift card my MIL gave me for my birthday. I love it, due to the extreme comfort factor and the flattery factor.

I topped it with a long sweater from Style and Co. I doubled up on two long faux turquoise necklaces.

On my right arm, a stretchy crystal bracelet (that makes puckers in my flab) and an enamel/crystal ring, both from Saks.

On my left arm, an enamel cuff, and my yellow gold wedding set.

Today, I went for a similar shape,but opposite colors.

This knit dress is the one I picked up in Washington DC, in the "second best Marshall's in the world", according to my friend.

I topped it with a perforated suede jacket by La Belle. I wore my very old Kathy Levine shoes with the faux bamboo heel.

I also wore my black plastic waterfall necklace. I shined it up a bit with a splash of Windex last night.

On my right arm, my Swarovski Nirvana in Black Diamond and the beaded cuff from the Chakra Shack in Laguna Beach.

On my left arm, an animal cuff by Betsey Johnson and the ring I got as a souvenir from Baltimore.

Since I missed a day, lots of links. First, Ana Luiza at www.northwestblonde.com has Start the Week Stylish. Melissa at www.mahogany-closet.com had Mahogany Closet Monday. Onto Tuesday, with Jess at www.elegantlydressedandstylish.com and Turning Heads Tuesday. Finally for Wednesday, Lindsey at www.thepleatedpoppy.com has What I Wore, Liz at www.shoppingmycloset.com has Style Me Wednesday, www.sydneyfashionhunter.com has Fresh Fashion Forum, and Tameka at www.pastriespumpsandpi.blogspot.com has What I Wore Wednesday.

Whew. That's what I get for taking the day off. Have a good one, and hopefully, I will post again tomorrow.

Going For The Gold !!!

I am an Olympic medalist in today's outfit:

My skirt is Laundry by Shelli Siegel, and my shimmery top is Style and Co.

I topped it with an iridescent green anorak by Calvin Klein. More gold sparkles away in the form of my Greenbeads lariat.

I wore a vintage belt of ivory cord with a golden ornament.

Two green rings complete the jewelry picture - on my left hand, chalcedony, and on my right, green agate.

I wore my Carlos Santana suede gladiators, and carried my Aldo handbag.

Over the weekend,  I finally got time to take a nice long run through Huntington Beach Central Park. I ran into my little Egyptian goose family, and one of the babies came right up to beg from me.

He is such a beauty - now he has his red feet, just like his mama and pappy. Lots of other birds were enjoying the lake.

And the myrtles were in full bloom.

All in all, a lovely morning in the park !!!

So let's link up with some of my blogger friends. First, Patti at www.notdeadyetstyle.com has Visible Monday. Then, Deb at www.elegantlyfashionable.com has Classy Monday and Cherie has Shoe and Tell over at www.stylenudge.com.

Have a great day and thanks for dropping by!!!

A Rose By Any Other Name

Today's magical color is rose. I struggled with this, then remembered this beautiful cashmere dress from Ann Taylor.

It's actually more of a fuschia color, but that's close enough for me. 

Here's a closeup of my sequined belt. It allows me to tie in green and purple with this dress.

I doubled up on necklaces - the shorter one is genuine emerald, and the longer one is faux.

On my left arm, my yellow gold wedding set, and a gold/diamond dust bangle.

On my right arm, an emerald and diamond ring, and two small bracelets, one with peridot.

Since yesterday was Thursday, it was Elli's day to work at Beach Medical. She was all set up in her crate office in the back room.       

                                                                                                         

Then, she got a red alert - she had a patient consult.

She was extremely interested in helping her patient solve their complex medical issue. 

She and her BFF Renee escorted the patient into Elli's office.

Elli reviewed the chart .

Wow, this one will be a challenge !!!

But Elli grabbed the bull by the horns, and everything got sorted out.

She then said goodbye to her consult and escorted them out. She wanted me to assure you that the large stain on the lobby carpet was NOT her fault.

So let's do the Friday linking !!! First, over at www.fashionshouldbefun.com, Dawn Lucy is having Fun Fashion Friday. Then, JoLynne at www.jolynneshane.com has Fashion Friday. 

So have a great weekend, and Elli and I will see you next week !!!

The Skater's Waltz

Today, I decided to wear my Rachel Roy skater style dress. It's very comfy and flattering.

It's a bluish purple color with a black band at the hem. I had several wardrobe malfunctions with my tights - one pair had a hole and one pair had a stretched out waistband. I finally got these patterned ones on and put on my BCBG boots.

I wore my long INC tassel necklace with this dress, in order to give it a long line.

On my left arm, my yellow gold wedding set and two sapphire/diamond bracelets.

On my right arm, my London Blue Topaz ring and two more sapphire/diamond bracelets.

I carried my new purse from Neiman Marcus. I got it for my birthday with a gift card.

So our little Elli is quite old. She has fainted twice, so Doc took her to the vet, Dr Lizardo, so they could have a doc to doc talk about her treatment. At her age, we are against anything invasive or painful. Here she is, in the Beach Blvd Pet Hospital lobby.

It turns out that she has a heart murmur. She will be getting an ACE inhibitor and Lasix to ease the stress on her little ticker. She goes back in three weeks to see if it's helping. We hope so. Here she is, at our front door, quite relieved that she is getting some medical help.

Let's do our regular Thursday links!!! First, Alice at www.happinessatmidlife.com has Throwback Thursday. Then, Nicole at www.highlatitudestyle.com has Top of The World Style.

Have a good day !!! Elli is at her job today, so there will be cuteness overload tomorrow !!!
