Charcoal Duster, Link Up On the Edge #28 & The Winners Are…
Before I get to the winners of the Shelbee’s Shoppe Scarf Giveaway and your favorites from last week’s link up, I need to share this fabulous new charcoal duster with you as well as another little critter story. This gorgeous duster just arrived in Shelbee’s Shoppe! I love how perfectly it layers over a body-con dress to create drama and cover my problem areas! It also looks amazing over black leggings and a long slim black tunic. And it flows oh so perfectly to make you feel like a modern day princess! But enough about this amazing piece of apparel (and it is AMAZING)…I do need to share another little critter…

LulaRoe Leggings and Link Up On the Edge #26
I completely missed last week’s Link Up On the Edge post. For that I apologize. I am slowly getting back on track and back into the swing of things. I have been busily photographing every single piece of merchandise available for sale in Shelbee’s Shoppe and will be reformatting my entire website next week to accommodate an online store. With the cold and snow upon us here in the North Country and my husband getting ready to leave for 2 months, I don’t plan on having very many vendor events or in-home parties again until Spring. So I need to get my online shop up and running! And on the…

Happy Thanksgiving & Link Up On the Edge #24
I would like to wish you all a Happy Thanksgiving! Today and everyday, I am thankful for so many things. For those of you do not already know, I had minor surgery on Tuesday. Just a uterine ablation and tubal ligation. Today, I am feeling just a bit sore and hope to get lots of rest over the weekend so I am ready to jump on an airplane next Thursday and jet off to Californina to see the sketch of myself (and 51 other gorgeous bloggers) in Anne M. Bray’s Fashion Rainbow at TAG Gallery. Thank you, Anne, for the fabulous artwork and for giving me a little push to…

How to Wear Over the Knee Socks Over 40: Take 2 & Link Up On the Edge #23
A few weeks ago, I received a reader request for another outfit featuring over the knee socks. The request actually came from a man who would like his over-40 wife to wear OTK socks more often and feel comfortable in them. You can read the original OTK sock post here. I am a huge fan of OTK socks with dresses or skirts. It has been one of my favorite trends since I was in high school. I went through a period of time where I felt “too old” to wear this style. But I have since changed my mind and I wear whatever the heck I want! I also am…

Spreading Kindness & Link Up On the Edge #22
“Human kindness has never weakened the stamina or softened the fiber of a free people. A nation does not have to be cruel to be tough.” -Franklin D. Roosevelt “Constant kindness can accomplish much. As the sun makes ice melt, kindness causes misunderstanding, mistrust, and hostility to evaporate.” -Albert Schweitzer “Love and kindness are never wasted. They always make a difference. They bless the one who receives them, and they bless you, the giver.” -Barbara de Angelis “Remember there’s no such thing as a small act of kindness. Every act creates a ripple with no logical end.” -Scott Adams “The level of our success is limited only by our imagination…

Unexpected Blogging Break & Link Up On the Edge #21
I was forced to take an unexpected break from blogging this week…once again due to crazy unreliable technology. My computer, it seems, had come to the end of its life without warning. While I am not so very mournful over its demise (this particular laptop kind of sucked since day one), the price tag attached to replacing it (especially 7 weeks before Christmas) really did cause some pain. So after much research, advice and suggestions from friends and family, and tons of deliberation about which way to go, I decided to just be done with traditional laptops (which I have been replacing about every 2 years for the past decade) and…

Ivory Lace with Denim, An Apology & Link Up On the Edge #19
I love to pair feminine lace with a more masculine fabric like leather or denim. There is nothing more feminine than an ivory lace dress. There is nothing less feminine than slouchy ripped boyfriend jeans. Throw said dress over aforementioned jeans and it is a match made in sartorial heaven. I styled this particular outfit on a very cool day back in July, but I felt it was more appropriately shared during a warm spell in October. And yesterday, we had temperatures around 70 degrees, so the timing seems just right. Today is rainy and cooler and I was fully prepared to photograph my very autumnal outfit that I am…
