MEET LADY "GA GREEN" !
HELLO EVERYBODY !On Halloween, the famous Lady Ga Green stopped by our little neighborhood for an inpromptu concert ! How exciting for us all ! She wore a hand-sewn one-of-a-kind totally recycled dress. She was even carrying the latest designer "green" handbag as well. And would you look at those rocks dangling from her ears! The trendy earth-friendly diva was donning the latest accessories, and
The Language of Flowers
Just about everyone has at one time or another, given flowers as a way of expressing a sentiment: "I love you." "Forgive me." "Congratulations!" "Happy Birthday!" "Happy Anniversary!" "I'm sorry for your loss"...But did you know that individual flowers each have their own meaning,many dating back to Victorian era?The beautifully fragrant Lilac, a bush not easily grown here in the South, stands
Kenny Garrett - Blues Alley
Nice Kenny Garrett gig at Blues Alley yesterday.Kenny Garrett has come a long way, baby. Over 30 years ago the alto saxophonist appeared on the national scene, having worked with the Duke Ellington Orchestra (post-Duke incarnation), Mel Lewis, and Art Blakey by the time he went out on his own in 1984–and then joined Miles Davis‘ band in 1986, where he really made his name. Now, in 2010, Garrett

PREPPY VINTAGE COWGIRL ?
OK, This may not have been the best idea, but it seemed like one at the time ;) I wanted to wear this vintage jumper before I have to cover myself completely with sweaters and heavy coats. I could have worn different shoes, but I kinda felt like letting the little girl out in me today :)You know the one who wore her tu-tu with her snow boots in the summer ? Just like her :)AND, I swear, I

The Shout Heard Round the Globe !
OUT THE DOOR TO RUN ERRANDS AND I MUST SAY, BURRRRRR........The local mid-west weather report is 50's and dreary after a week of 70's. Shocking to say the least! This outfit is an example that women over 40 CAN wear short skirts, darn it. If I read another article telling us over 40's to stop it, I will scream so loud it will be heard around the globe. I bet Kelly Ripa (40) or SJP (45) or Demi

Indie or Eclectic ? And What's The Diff ?
Though I am not much for labeling my style, as it changes greatly from day to day ~ mood to mood, I was recently asked to describe my style in three words. It was easy til it came to Eclectic or Indie. Which am I ? I know the difference when I see it, but was hard pressed to choose one over the other.So, as a good little fashion geek would do, I looked it up ;)It seems there isn't huge

Shades of Textured Grays
Ya know how outfits seem to have a mind of their own ? This one started off completely different. I've been admiring the super-long scarves dragging the ground on the "Peeper" Diva's as of late. They usually pair them up with a maxi, but I hoped to mix it up with a shorter dress instead. After a few changes, this is how it turned out :) I like wearing lighter colored shoes with dark legs and this

Have I mentioned how much I love friggin' Fall ? The perfect fall weather pattern has hit the Mid-west for temps. in the high 60's, a hazy, sunny sky, and leaves dancing around the streets. Another weather report :) ~ Anyhoo, I mixed this too small blouse with a cream skirt, but added black instead of the usual brown. I feel all sleek and "growed" up. The clogs were for walking, and

Getting Carded Backwards / Plus No More Music !
OK, so it was cool to still get carded in my late 20's and early 30's. It was flattering, though I never seemed to get carded when I was underage ? ~ But after a while I started noticing that it never happened anymore. OK. Then comes the day when a little boy at the grocery called me ma'am. Well, he was probably in his 20's, but you get the overall feeling of the moment ;) ~ Meanwhile, my

My Vintage Hat
This may be one of my top 10 favorite Vintage accessories I own. I bought it years ago. I just knew it was beautiful and I had to have it. It wasn't expensive or anything, but was in primo-perfect condition. It's felt with a gold threaded ribbon on it. Maybe the 50's or even 40's ? I hardly ever wore it in fear of ruining it, but the blog-o-sphere and maturity have enlightened me to wearing stuff
