'All the World's a Stage'


I can not tell you how absolutely HOT it was when I shot these pics.  I swore early menopause was upon me.  Had to keep the car running with AC, snap, jump in the car, look at photos, run back out and repeat.  Nosy neighbor stopped me to ask me what I was doing, and I in turn had to explain to her what a fashion blog was.  I was tempted to reply that I'm extremely vain and just like to take pics of myself for the hell of it.  I dunno, I'm just not that interested in what other people are doing.








First wore this dress here! I love it so!!

What I'm Wearing:
Dress: Anthropologie
Shoes: Calvin Klien Remi
Hat: Lord & Taylor
Necklaces: Lord & Taylor, JCrew

Hung out with Pamela of Cinderella's Closet last Thurdsay evening at Lina Frey for a chance to enter a shopping competition. Here's hoping we win Pamela!! 







LOVED this woman's jewelry!

    Beautiful look and the 'story' about your neighbours really funny :) I'm usually switched off while I'm taking pictures and don't care if someone is looking but feel a bit irritated when people are asking why i take photos of myself. xoxo

    I love this dress from anthropologie. it has a SJP feel (like the dress she wore in sex and the city the movie).

    The necklace is fabulous....

    And I am wishing I could have some of the heat back...its getting cold and "fall like"
