It's Time to Celebrate!







Every year we celebrate the Fourth of July with hope, love and joy.  We surround ourselves with family, friends and others who are thankful for their life in our great nation.   We partake in parades, outings, eat, drink and be merry while watching fireworks all in the name of freedom.  Yes, I am proud to be an American.  I hope you all have a wonderful Fourth of July in this great year of 2018.  Here are a few fashion picks of red, white and blue to sparkle your day.  Hand me a sparkler - please!!


Shopping Myth: Spend Less, Buy Bargains will save you Money! -  Not! 

Recently at a summer soiree - I wore an expensive classic pair of pumps that I have owned for eight years - walked and danced the night away.  My feet did not hurt in the slightest at the end of the night. You can purchase cheap apparel and shoes but you will pay the price physically and the item will not last years to come.  Thus, you ultimately will spend more money by buying less quality items at a discounted price.  You think you are saving money but really you are not. You will repeat the purchase next year and the year after and so on.... Be wise.  A penny saved is a penny earned. 

Wrap Up!







The Scarf: Snap up a red, white and blue scarf and drape around your neck.  Keep out the chill while be elegant and festive.  Link Included. 





"It will be celebrated... with pomp and parade... bonfires and illuminations from one end of the continent to the other"  President John Adams
