A Cinnamon Sweet Roll

Today is the second of four rainy days. I dressed for comfort and dryness.

Gotta love those action shots!!! This is a Nordstrom turtleneck, an INC tiered mesh skirt, and an Emanuel Ungaro satin blazer. I am also wearing black tights and my new short boots that I got in Las Vegas last week.

The necklace I'm wearing is also from Nordstrom. I have had it a long time, but I don't wear it that often.

On my right arm, my Swarovski duo - the Nirvana in Black Diamond and the Infinity bangle.

On my left arm, an RJ Graziano costume rose gold watch and a smoky topaz ring.

Not much else to say - last night was dull - I worked out, walked the dogs, then fell asleep by 9:30. Such an exciting life I lead!! Three links for Friday - www.jolynneshane.com has Fashion Friday, Sheree at www.poshclassymom.com has Weekend Wear, and Dawn Lucy has Fun Fashion Friday over at www.fashionshouldbefun.com.

Well, hopefully, I will do something fun over the weekend. Taking my mom around to doctors and then Wal Mart exhausted me. And next Friday, we will have a repeat performance.

I Caught a Phish

Our company sends out these fake emails to catch us responding to spam, and I fall for it every time. It's starting to annoy me - don't they have anything better to do? Rant over.

I took my mom to the doctor again yesterday, so I didn't have time to post. But this is what I wore:

This outfit was very highly Doc-approved. It's a J Crew lace skirt with a Forever 21 T shirt.

The sleeveless top has black crystal epaulets with silver stitching.

I doubled up on necklaces - the shorter one is lapis and the longer one is from Macy's in Las Vegas.

On my right arm, two liquid silver bracelets and a sapphire ring.

On my left arm, a silver cuff, and a wedding set highlighted by a diamond/sapphire twisted band.

When I got home (after 5, sheesh), these were waiting for me:

Beautiful yellow roses!! Our yard has gone crazy with all the flowers and stuff. These beauties inspired me to make a small arrangement using home grown roses.

Aren't these pretty? Onto today. It's supposed to rain for the next couple of days - that means even more flowers next week. Here is what I wore:

  This is a Saks Fifth Avenue Black dress topped with a short satin swing jacket made by Fire.

I went with a crystal theme for my jewelry today. I wore a costume gold and crystal necklace.

My white enamel/crystal bracelet and ring duo from Saks is on my right arm.

On my left arm, three rose gold and crystal costume bangles from RJ Graziano, and my latest bauble - the Trema Ring from Swarovski.

Here's a better look at this giant sparkly knuckle buster.


A ton of links today - Alice at www.happinessatmidlife.com has Throwback Thursday, and Nicole at www.highlatitudestyle.com has Top Of The World Style. Then, we go backwards to Wednesday. Liz at www.shoppingmycloset.com has Style Me Wednesday, Tameka at www.pastriespumpsandpi.blogspot.com has What I Wore Wednesday, and Lindsey has What I Wore at www.thepleatedpoppy.com. Finally, www.sydneyfashionhunter.com has her Wednesday linkup.

Now I think I am all caught up. Better get to work and catch more phish. Ugh.

The Eye of the Tiger

That is certainly illustrated well in my crazy tiger striped top.

Although to be honest, I have never seen a tiger with blue stripes. This top is made by JM Collection, a division of Macy's. It has gold studs scattered around the neckline and on the edges of the sleeves. My navy knit pants are Iman Global Chic. I wore my Joan Rivers statement necklace, because it matches perfectly with the top.

I tried a few belts out, and decided on my Dolce and Gabbana brown elastic and leather belt.

My Coach sandals in cognac leather with gold studs also seemed to be a perfect complement.

On my right arm, a copper/crystal link bracelet and a moonstone ring.

On my left arm, an amber/crystal ring and a faux hematite costume bangle with black crystals.

Two links for Tuesday - first, Jess at www.elegantlydressedandstylish.com has Turning Heads Tuesday, and then Ana Luiza at www.northwestblonde.com has Start the Week Stylish.


I hope you are having a good start to your week, and I will see you all later!!!

Back to the Grind in Grey!!!

Here's what I wore to start the work Week:

This is a textured dress made by BCBG Max Azria. On top, I have a knit waterfall cardi with lace insets.

O my right arm, two silver bracelets (one with tanzanite) and a sapphire/diamond ring.

 On my left arm, a silver bangle,and a wide band with more tanzanites.

And I finished it off with a statement necklace made of glass stones.

Yesterday, I went to the neighborhood Japanese gift shop to see of they had anything cool. First, I got some frozen potstickers for Elli's meds to go in. She eats them easily if they are in one of these.

Then, I got a few things for the house.

First, plastic food for Preston's plastic animals.

 Then, a mango slicer and a table runner with monkeys on it.

The giant hanger is for bath towels - such a good idea!! and the brown box for Doc to toss his keys and junk in.

Two little dishes for Elli's food, since I broke two the day before, and a jar for the bathroom, to hold sample size tubes of face stuff.

Some Monday links!!! Deb at www.elegantlyfashionable.com has Classy Monday, and Cherie at www.stylenudge.com has Shoe and Tell. Then Patti at www.notdeadyetstyle.com has Visible Monday. Have a great day and I will see you soon!!!

What Did Rosie Buy ????

You know I bought something !!!. So let's go back and see what i bought in the 3 days I was in Las Vegas, staying at the Tropicana. The very first day, I went to the best Macy's in the world, at Fashion Show Mall,on the Strip. I got 4 pieces of nice costume jewelry, all marked waaayyyy down to $6.99 apiece. First, this silver tone necklace with crystals and blue mirrors:

 I also picked up two matching stretchy bracelets from INC - peach, pink, white and black.

And a rose gold necklace with huge smoky crysyals.

All were fantastic buys. I also got a pair of low heeled boots from Paradiso, a shop in Caesar's that I like to look at when I'm in Las Vegas.

I also got my Clinique gift with purchase while I was there. It happens in April and October.

It came with two Vera bags. The big one has ladybugs as the inside print. The small box is an eyeshadow trio.

This was a gift with purchase. My purchase was Redness solutions. It's a yellow powder that gives may face a nice finish.

There was a deep pink lipstick and a mascara.

And finally, a night cream and the famous Dramatically Differerent Moisutrizing Lotion.

On my first day back, Friday, I wore my Venus dress, in orcder to show off the new gems.

Here's how the necklace looks when it's on.

I wore my Bullock's vintage jacket on top.

And of course, the two bracelets. One of my friends said I looked very Audrey Hepburn.
