Tigress

Hey loves! Happy everything! I have been having a great week. I started celebrating my birthday a couple of weeks ago and it has been fantastic spending time with the people that love me. This has truly been one of my best birthdays yet. Everything in my life is brand new and I LOVE IT!!!!! 

Quite a few of you have emailed me to see a full post on the dress I wore to dinner this past weekend. I promise I will post photos of it and some of the looks I wore out to my various birthday celebrations. I have been celebrating my special day with friends and family, but I saved my official birthday for a special celebration with my son and my mom.

 We went to a fabulous restaurant and had a great time and it was the cherry on top to the past two weeks of festive celebrations and the good times are far from over.

The ensemble I am wearing is a simple black on black outfit with a peplum top, fitted pants and a statement clutch and jewelry.  I wore this to dinner and it was perfect for an evening out.

black always works

 I think the mixed metals I am wearing work so perfectly with the black and tiger print. What do you think?

I love animal print and tiger print bags is not something I see often, so when I saw this fabric, I knew I had to have a tiger clutch

I'm sort of obsessed with this chain necklace. I love the mixed metals. 

Do you like clutch bags?

I hope the rest of your week is absolutely amazing!

Change of Life

Happy Tuesday! I hope your week is off to a great start. I am going through an interesting time. We have all seen those funny commercials with women feverishly fanning themselves and everyone else is freezing cold. I knew something was odd about having continuous personal summers, being unable to sleep at night and suddenly waking up to a bigger a** and hips that seem to spread like pancake batter on a grill.

It was odd. Remarkably odd.

 And then he said the three words no young woman wants to hear from her doctor. "Change of Life" Genetics are a funny thing. It seems that I have a genetic link that has brought this rite of passage to me a couple of decades early. Sometimes I feel like sleeping on a blanket of ice and other times I am shivering. Life cannot be predicted. It's just funny that way. This is almost like a joke, but its not funny to me. But you've gotta learn to laugh so you don't cry. I am still working on that. I've almost got it:-)

I don't plan on wearing granny glasses on a chain around my neck  and  sensible shoes anytime soon. Has life every thrown something at you that knocked the wind out of you? I have had more of those types of experiences than I care to remember. I am in one right now.

Sometimes you have to smile in spite of.

I have always loved cat eye glasses...MEOW

I love chain necklaces. This one came from an old purse

I love wedges, they are so comfortable. Do you like wedge heels?

 It is almost getting to cold to wear this top without a blazer over it, but I am not complaining. I am glad the heatwave is over.

 Have a great week!
