Songful Style Link Party | “Hello, Goodbye” by The Beatles
I can’t believe we are already four months into this groovy series of music inspired styles. Not only does it offer me an opportunity to approach my wardrobe with an entirely new creative perspective, but it also introduces me to wonderful new music. And music is so very important for so many reasons. Therefore, the people who share new music with us are essential in enriching our journeys on earth. For this fourth edition of Songful Style, Marsha chose a timeless Beatles classic, “Hello, Goodbye”, and the song has been earworming me all month long! You can find more details about the song, the lyrics, and various album covers to…

Styling My Mother’s Day Gifts & Link Up On the Edge #296
Happy Friday, y’all! Today I wanted to share with you the gorgeous gifts I received from my boys for Mother’s Day this year. Jeff took the boys to Rainbow Zen, my favorite store for all things bohemian and hippie, and he let them choose some things that they thought I would like. It is not a difficult task, however, to find things that I would like in Rainbow Zen since I like everything in that store. You can see some of the clothing and home decor items that I have purchased there if you just search “Rainbow Zen” on my blog. The boys went shopping the day before Mother’s Day…

Star Wars & Your Own Twist Link Up #44
Star Wars Day was celebrated two weeks ago on May 4 by Star Wars fans in the United States, Canada, the United Kingdom, and several other nations around the world. The inspiration for choosing May 4 as the official Star Wars Day celebration comes from the popular line used by Jedi Masters in the Star Wars movies. “May the force be with you” has been punned right into the official Star Wars Day greeting, “May the fourth be with you”. Since the release of the first Star Wars film in 1977, fans became so obsessed that May 4 quickly caught on as the unofficial day for celebrating all things Star…

The Thrifty Six are Ballerina Inspired
It was Nancy’s turn to choose our thrifty style theme for May and she really threw me for a loop with Ballerinas. Although I do love a good tulle skirt, I have never really been a ballerina type of girl. In fact, I have only allowed myself to start dancing where other people can see me in the last few years. Before that, just the idea of dancing any dance was completely out of my comfort zone. Maybe I would bounce around my house a little here and there, but in public places I would merely sit and watch all the other people having a great time moving their bodies…

A series that I co-host with Nancy where you can choose whether you want to share a Good Buy (which is an item you are really exited about) or a Good-Bye (which is an item you are going to say good-bye to, previously known as a Bad Buy).

What We Wear Underneath It All | May Stylish Monday Link Up
As indicated by the title, the theme for this month’s Stylish Monday link party is What We Wear Underneath It All. We were able to choose whatever angle we wanted for this theme. Since I am no stranger to writing underwear reviews or sharing pictures of myself in my underwear, I was happy to share my newest discovery in the world of undergarments. If you are interested, you can read some of my other underwear posts here, here, here, here, here, here, here, here, and here. That’s a lot of heres which means a lot of underwear posts. But I do wear underwear every day so why not share them?…
