The Human Easter Egg

I was too busy to post both yesterday and this morning, due to my workload. I had a special project that I needed to complete. But now it's all done. So yesterday, I was dressed like a giant Easter Egg.

It was nothing special, just some black cigarette pants, a gold tank top, and a striped blouse from Stein Mart. I had to enlarge one of the pictures to show my necklaces.

Sorry that it's blurry. The shorter one is my matte gold collar with multi color cabochons. The longer one is a gold chain with a faux emerald pendant. I wore my black shoes by Di De.

Today, I went for one of my Antthony pants sets. This time, it was the black, red, and white version.

These sets are so comfy and easy to care for. I wore the thick silver collar that my Mom gave me last year for my birthday.

Today, I pushed up my sleeves and wore bracelets. On my right arm,

My garnet ring from this year's birthday, and a freshwater pearl bracelet from the Chakra Shack in Laguna Beach.

On my left arm, a diamond solitaire, a ruby band, and the garnet/opal bracelet that I got for my 40th birthday. I also wore my black and white Guess shoes.

I have a whole bunch of links, since Wednesday has the most, and I am behind. So I will be a bad blogger and catch up with listing the urls later.

Have a great day, and I'll see you later!!!

Plum Perfect

I bought this dress at Saks a couple of weeks ago. It came in black and aubergine. The black was gorgeous, but since I have a ton of black dresses, I went for the aubergine.

It photographs more purple than it looks in person. It is made by Calvin Klein, and has a nice double zipper in gold. I think it can be worn as a turtleneck, but I went for the wing collar look for today. the color of the dress allowed me to bust out a necklace that I haven't worn for a while.

This is made by Givenchy. It's actually very pretty, in lots of different red and pink tones. Speaking of red, on my right arm.

This ring is my birthday present, while the bracelet came from Maya on Melrose. On my left arm,

A stretchy crystal bracelet from Saks and a diamond/garnet ring that Doc gave me along time ago. I also wore a pair of Nine West shoes in black, burgundy and pale grey.

I have the exact same pair in brown, orange and gold.

My boss gave me flowers today for a job well done. I won't get into it here, but I will show you the beautiful pink gerbera daisies that she gave me, in front of a lot of people at a meeting.

That makes three times this past week that I have received flowers. That's a record - I just hope that I'm not dead. :)

So two links today - Jess at www.elegantlydressedandstylish.com has Turning Heads Tuesday, while Ana Luiza at www.northwestblonde.com has Start the Week Stylish. Have a good day, and see you later!!!

The Vernal Equinox

Today is the first day of spring, but you would never know it by our cloudy, dreary weather. It's very foggy out. I wore a safari inspired ensemble:

This color blocked knit shift is from Loft. The safari jacket, which has lurex all through it, is from Cache. My shoes are Sam and Libby. I got the dress and the shoes this weekend, but I'll get to that later. It just so happens that I have the perfect necklace for this outfit.

This really is a perfect match. On my right arm, I have my Swarovski Nirvana in Black Diamond and a copper/rhinestone link bracelet.

On my left arm, I have my creepy green ring from Nordstrom and a leather harness bracelet.

So, onto the shopping!!! On Friday, I took my mom for her doctor's appointments. From experience, I knew that there was a great consignment shop down there, so of course I buzzed by. They were having a 50% off sale. Here's what I picked up.

The Loft dress that I am wearing above.

A black knit dress with gold buckles made by Venus, which is a local Socal swimsuit and resort brand.

A gorgeous Donna Ricco sheath in black with gold lurex. Here's a better look at the fabric.

Some Sam and Libby ankle strap shoes that were new with tags.

Pretty good haul, eh? I don't get by this shop too often, because it's in South Orange County, near my mom's place. I also attended an open house for the new pulmonary rehab unit here at the hospital, and the gift was this set of Coby headphones. They are really nice.

Also this weekend, we made our grandkid's Easter baskets.

Calista got a sparkly dress, a wand and a tiara, a stuffed bunny, and some sand toys.

Joseph and Benjy got identical baskets, with candy eggs, money filled egss, Frozen items, Ninja Turtle items, and bubbles.

Preston got money eggs, candy eggs, jelly beans, a chocolate bunny, some Paws Patrol items, a potato gun, some Star Wars items, and a plastic German shepherd dog.


The g-kids are getting bigger, so we only have a few more fun years to give Easter baskets. Before we link, here's a cute springtime picture of my little Elli.

As you can see, she is all head and ears.

On Friday, Dawn Lucy of www.fashionshouldbefun.com had Fin Fashion Friday, so I will catch up. Today, Deb from www.elegantlyfashionable.com has Classy Monday, and Rachelle has How I Fall over at www.pinksole.com. And finally, Cherie at www.stylenudge.com has Shoe and Tell.

I hope you had a good weekend, and stay tuned!!!

Erin Go Bragh !!!

I didn't get to post yesterday, because we had a huge event at work. But this is what I wore:

It's kind of dark, since I took this at 5:30 in the morning. This is my super comfy Slinky Brand pantsuit with the cold shoulders and the cowl neckline. I wore my Ann Taylor necklace and my Paloma Picasso belt.

I also wore my Nine West orange multi shoes.

Yesterday, when I got home, Doc had these waiting for me.

Beautiful multi colored roses - they're really fluffy and remind me almost of peonies. This was also waiting in the mailbox.

1) Make Up For Ever The Equalizer Hydrating Primer
2) Manna Kandar shadow in Fantasy
3) Nude Stix Lip and Cheek pencil in Mystic
4) Bombshell Baked Bronzer in Heat Wave
5) Caviar Miracle Multiplying Volume Mist

Haven't had a chance to try any of it.  So onto today's getup:

I am wearing JC Penney ancient white slacks with another cold shoulder top, this time by INC. I took the opportunity to wear a lot of the nice turquoise pieces that Doc has gotten me over the years.

On the right hand, a crystal ring and on the left hand, my Swarovksi Nirvana in Indolite. I wore my white DiDe sandals.

Too many links to mention, but they are all my old buddies from every Wednesday and Thursday. Have a good one, and let's hope I DO get pinched!!!

PS. My work friends got these for me, since the event turned out nice!!

Isn't that sweet ??/
