April Showers Bring May Flowers

April showers do bring the flowers. We're having a major thunderstorm right now so of course the rain came to mind, I love the rain, the sound of it, the smell of it and the idea that it does bring new growth to our land! Enjoy these handmade treats.

What's Your Style?

To start this year we will have a weekly Wednesday feature, what's your style? Now I know styles change on a daily basis so I'm going to be asking what's your style for today. I do know styles can change on a daily basis -- some days you're in the mood for conservative, some days maybe a bit quirky so the question is for today, what's your style? Say you're going out for a somewhat dressy evening, nothing too formal, just going out for dinner let's say, maybe wearing a black, white or any solid colored outfit, out of these five evening bags, what bag would you pick, if any and why? What's your style?

Simple Elegance

New Year's Eve parties are coming quickly so I thought I'd get together a few great pieces for the festivities. If you're going to a party here are some of my head to toe favorite picks for such an event. When dressing up for a holiday party, I like to dress on the conservative side with a very simple dress that can say everything. I love strapless and very seldom wear any jewelry on the neck because I think with a beautiful strapless dress a woman's neck speaks volumes and is very sexy on its own -- with a great dress your neck will look beautiful bare. On the other hand, a great ring and/or bracelet and bag do the trick to set off just a bit of flare. What would your style be for such a party -- conservative or a bit more on the flashy side?
