Birthdays and Hot Dogs

Today is National Hot Dog Day. I am still trying to figure out if there is somewhere I can get one today, but I am doubtful, unless I go the 7-11 convenience store route. But back to the clothes!!! This is what I wore yesterday :

This is an ancient dress with no label. What makes it so cool (and why it has hung out in my closet for so long) is that it's reversible. The other side is bright blue.

I always try to bring out the blue in the print, so I wore my two faux turquoise necklaces that I gotin Las Vegas.

On my right arm, a chalcedony ring, and two gold bracelets, one with diamonds.

On my left arm, an enamel cuff, a diamond band, and an opal ring.

 Now for the birthday!!! Yesterday was Luke's 33rd birthday, so we had a little family party after work. I wore a maxi dress that my MIL, Mimi, gave me.

As you can see from the side view, the wide pleather belt detail is attached.  The dress fabric is also fairly thin, so I had to wear a full length black slipdress under it.

The only jewelry I wore was my buffalo turquoise/smoky topaz statement necklace.

Onto today. This is a super comfy dress from Shelby and Palmer. 

I forgot to check myself in the mirror before I left, so I didn't know that the side tie was undone.

I tied it when I got to work.

My necklace is a convertible piece that was my mom's. There are three strands - you can double them and use the clip to make a shorter necklace, or wear them opera length. This version uses only two of the strands.

On my right arm, my Montana peridot ring, a sapphire bracelet, and an amethyst bracelet.

On my left arm, my creepy green ring from Nordstrom, a peridot bracelet, and a gold bracelet.

See you all on Friday - have a hot dog !!!

The Sky is Falling

And it landed on my Calvin Klein dress.

The color of this dress is called Cerulean. I have had it for a couple of years. The only downside is that I have to take it to the dry cleaner every time I wear it because of the underarms. It does have some nice draping and a silver bar trim.

I wore my Jessica Simpson T straps- they are beige suede with reptile trim.

A multi-gemstone necklace in silver goes well with the simplicity of the dress.

On my right arm, a silver cuff, a diamond band that goes about a third of the way around my finger ( it was my mom's) and a blue topaz ring.

On my left arm, a silver circle bracelet, a sapphire tennis bracelet, my own eternity band and a white gold round solitaire.

Yesterday, Pandi was slumbering away peacefully.....

Until I disturbed her and got some major stink eye.

Summertime, All the Time

Today I have two more summery looks for you, since the season is in full swing. This is what I wore yesterday:

This is an INC sheath dress with a Marisol sweater tank on top. I volunteered at a Bone Marrow Donor drive today, and I needed to quick change. I took off the sweater and put on my red T shirt, then switched back again after lunch. I made sure to coordinate my outfit with the red T shirt !!

I wore two necklaces today - the shorter one is costume Givenchy and the longer one is a costume pendant on a gold rope.

On my right arm, a leather/ goldtone cuff from INC and a garnet/citrine ring.

On my left arm, my Hermes CDC and my yellow gold wedding set.

Today, I have another dress and sweater combo.

The dress is the black eyelet dress that I got in Burbank in January. It came from a shop called Previously On. The shop sells clothes that have been worn in movies or on TV shows. The dress is from Susana Monaco.

                                     

On top, a short sweater from Off Fifth Saks Fifth Avenue.

The sweater has puffy fabric details on the front and along the edges.

With this outfit, I wore my buffalo turquoise and smoky topaz statement necklace.

On my right arm, my matching Swarovksi duo - the Nirvana ring in Black Diamond and the Infinity bracelet.

On my left arm, a Brighton bracelet and a white gold wedding set.

And that is the summary of how I stayed cool these last two days.

How to Look Hot When It is Hot

The heat wave is finally over for a few days here in SoCal. But it was still pretty toasty yesterday, so this is what I wore:

This is a multicolored silk dress that I got in Denver, of all places. It's fully lined, so no need for a slip.

On my right arm, a diamond band and a stretchy crystal bracelet from Saks.

On my left arm, my yellow gold wedding set, and an INC cuff that I got in Fort Lauderdale.

My necklace is my Joan Rivers convertible necklace with the pink and turquoise inserts.

Today, I wore a vintage Mary McFadden knit shift. It's old.

On top, my JM collection white knit jacket with the stud trimming around the edges.

To pick up the turquoise in the dress, I wore my cross from Southwest Indian Foundation.

On my right arm, a blue topaz ring, a diamond eternity band, a turquoise bracelet that Doc got for me in Gorman, California, and a stretchy turquoise bracelet.

On my left arm, my Swarovksi Nirvana in Indigo, along with a silver/crystal costume bracelet.

Both of my makeup bags came last night. First, Ipsy:

I got :
1) Wonderwand Gel liner
2) Tarte bronzer in Park Place Princess
3) BP Banana Setting Powder
4) MSkin Space Defense Bright Eye Gel

Also included were two TonyMoly facial masks.

Another pretty box to add to my Birchbox tower.

Inside, there were the following products:
1) Amika Un.Done Texture Spray
2) Beauaniq Beauty Blush Serum in Sunrise
3) Peter Thomas Roth Water Drench Hyaluronic Cloud Cream
4) Michael Todd Charcoal Detox Deep Pore Gel Cleanser
5) Marcelle CC Cream SPF 35 Complete Correction in Golden Glow


I think I will use and enjoy all of these products!!
