Red Likes it Hot!




What every girl needs, a red dress, red heels and red lips! All at a steal right now from Target. I for one love a bargain that lets me sizzle!

Fall Mulberries





Like ripe berries plucked from the tree, the cardigan in this set is sweet and delicious! I love the overly layered look when the Fall winds blow and you can put on as much or as little as you like here :) Jacket and cardigan or just one of them. Both socks and tights or just one. Any way you wear them you will be fabulous!

Friday Finds Aug 6th

While I may be on a spending diet I do need a few new things. Mainly new jeans. My old jeans give me "muffin top". Not something that I like to have. So I have searched around for new jeans and I think I may have found some that are budget friendly and are figure friendly as well.









Nice and dark with a bit of a flare.









A basic bootcut.










Tom hates the deconstructed look, but the these are kind of cute :)

I have also been drooling over this lovely dress on Modcloth.



So will these fit into my budget? Do I really need them? I know the dress I really, really WANT. *sigh* It will be a great addition to my wardrobe and look wonderful with a little black shrug I have. But do I need it? Oh the agony of being on a budget!

It is so hot outside, but all the Fall catalogues have started coming in the mail and stores have put out their Fall displays already. While I can't even attempt to wear these clothes now I can save up for the pieces that are critical (I need pants desperately!) and start my idea list of things to sew. I finally got my serger fixed and now just need to get my sewing machine fixed, it doesn't do reverse. It will be nice to sew again and get those projects that have been sitting on the back burner the past few months completed! Tell me, am I the only one who gets way ahead of herself with tons of plans?

Sarong Song

Mendosa Sarong
$35 - calypso-celle.com


With the Summer heat and humidity I have been going native and wearing sarongs! I swear there is no better way to stay cool when it is sizzling outside. I have here a cute selection of styles I found on the internet. You can also just grab a large scarf that you already have and tie it yourself to make your own sarong. Here is a good site to start learning the different ways to "tie one on" LOL!
How to Wrap a Sarong.

If I can get anyone to take pictures I will post them here or in the flickr group of my sarongs. I have a great selection I have collected over the years. For now I am going to kick back with a nice cool glass of lemonade and see if I can find me a cabana boy with a palm frond fan.

Sex Sells Everything, Even Train Tickets


What a great time Tom and I had in the Tehachapi Mountains rummaging through antique stores and sitting in quaint cafes. I swear there is not a better time to be had! There was even a hobby store full of model trains for Tom to look over. We had a laugh at the advertising plaques that showed scantily clad women to sell train tickets.

Sex sells everything I guess! I was a good girl and only spent a small amount of money. I just had to buy the grape shoe clip at one store. I had inherited one just like it from my Nana! Now I have a matched set to wear on my shoes.

Grapes On My Toes!

$18.00 Vintage Grape Shoe Clip.

I also bought a pair of black gloves. Perfect for my next tea party. To end the day we split a cheesecake and watched the clouds form and break apart from the deck at Kohnen's Bakery. So romantic! Of course, any time spent with Tom is good :)
