I’m back, Loves!
April 27, 2009
For those of you who follow me on twitter, too- you’ve probably noticed my tweets have been very quiet lately! I have been traveling (with a bit more coming up soon as well) however, where I was my phone had no reception during the entire trip!
I entertained myself with the company of some amazing friends and had an incredible time- we also did a bit of shopping and WOW do I ever have some killer posts coming up. I am so excited, some of these items I still can’t even believe are real… seriously insane finds (including a vintage 1920′s wedding dress!).
But more on that later! I have some fun items coming up, and just wanted to let you all in on what has been happening. I’ll be posting first thing tomorrow- see you then!

Floral Prints: Attack From Spring Part II
April 14, 2009
When I was shopping at forever twenty one last week and found the incredibly bright and bold spring floral dress- it wasn’t the only one I found. I couldn’t decide which one I liked better, so I do what I always do in these situations, I bought both!
I do this often with shoes, too- especially when I find a style I *love* and feels perfect on, I’ll get all the colors available in my liking. When you love something, you have got to go for it, right?
So back to the dress, this one though very floral and colorful indeed, is much softer with a more gentle feminine feel. The splashes of purple on white are beautiful, and inspired me to even paint my nails purple to match (and wear my lavender heels, such a gentle and beautiful color).
The little rosettes at the neckline are adorable and the perfect dainty touch for the dress. It is a straight and flowy drop from there, and the print does everything else.
Simple, chic, and perfect for spring. I am loving these frilly feminine prints.
Alexander McQueen and Target ♥ Here At Last!
April 4, 2009
I’ve always loved you, Target… you’ve been so good to me and now, wow- what can I say? I’m so delighted. Alexander McQueen, a dear favorite and now a beautiful find at Target.
Target + McQ = ♥
Honestly, when I first saw the sneak peaks online at the collection I was underwhelmed. Mostly on the grungy side of things- but it turns out there was so much more to it.
Even online if you visit the Target shop, the options were limiting and did not particularly excite me. And so when I found out which Targets were participating in my area I was not rushed to get there. Some time has passed since the launch and I thought for sure it would be too late, I mean I didn’t even think there would be anything left passed day one.
But to my surprise- not only were there plenty of items available, but all gorgeous- all not posted online, and all in my size. Love it.
When I first saw this dress in particular, it was the only one (also in my size I might add, love it) and had two long ribbons hanging down from it. I have a thing for string/ribbons and the like- if it ties up in some sort of fashion (regardless if I know how it is supposed to be tied, I adore a challenge that can be reinvented) I then must have it. It’s a rule of mine nearly.
So this one became an instant must for me. The material is a dream, feels so heavenly against the skin and has a lovely feminine shape to it. The sleeves are a sublte but sharp design which I greatly admire as well. I love this dress!
Hooray for Alexander McQueen being available for a private Target collection; much love! xx
Bow Tie, Black And White Adorable Shoes
April 3, 2009
Shoes? But of course my loves, you never can have too many shoes. And when I came across these pretty little black and white darlings, I couldn’t help myself!
What’s even more surprising is where I found them and for how much.. generally I prefer to spend a good amount on a shoe, I think it is worth it and you can feel it in the quality. But these are something different- something fun and random. Oh, and only twenty five dollars, ha. Can you believe it?
They are quite comfortable for the price, and who am I to deny a shoe of this much cuteness? I went to forever twenty one today, I will make a visit about once a year it seems and find a few cozy and cute outfits to mix and match with my wardrobe. Found a few beautiful dresses as well, but those will follow in posts to come (as well as a beautiful find from Target, hint- Alexander McQueen!). But that’s later.
Back to the shoes- yes they are fabulous and a lucky find. They were the only ones I saw in the shop like it, and fortunately for me exactly my size as well. Don’t you just love when things like that happen, meant to be.
I’ll enjoy playing with these new shoes- the color is perfect for most any outfit and adds a bold new tone to a look. Definitely fun.
Where Some People See A Top, I See A Dress
March 24, 2009
Someone once said to me, that where others see a cute top- I see a very cute dress. And I have found this to be very true, indeed! I love dresses, and love the challenge of making anything and everything into a dress in one form or another.
Pants have never been comfortable to me and never attracted me, they are wonderful and have their place but just have not been a match for me, personally. I feel my best in a dress or skirt- and so I go with what I love most.
When I came across this *adorable* top, at a glance I thought it was a dress. It looks and feels like a dress, with its soft layers that just flow so beautifully. But upon picking it up and trying it on- it became very apparent that this was not a dress, the tiniest bit of extra length would be required. There wasn’t anything at the shop to match it with either, but I had to have it. I loved it too much to let it go, just felt so right.
The design is elegant and feels so delicate and soft- and then it has the playful child-like attitude with the fun little patches designed with an obvious stitching pattern, love it! So unique and one-of-a-kind.
Upon returning home, I realized I did have a light blue skirt that may do the trick (be it a slightly different shade than the top, but something close enough that could possibly blend). Light blue is a color I adore wearing, and have the shoes and other accessories to mix and match with ease. All I needed for this top to turn it into a dress was an extra layer or two, and this skirt would have to be the missing piece to the puzzle.
It looks like a cup cake layered in frosting- such a lovely mix of styles and character. This is one of my favorite outfits, I *absolutely* love this style. And there are so many ways to wear it for all occasions- the accessories give it a new charm each and every time. No matter where I go, I feel fabulous in it.
I also *absolutely* love the necklace I am wearing with it too, a very special one-of-a-kind piece… but more on that later! You’ll have to wait to discover the details on that one ;D It is definitely very fabulous.
Pour La Victoire, Seriously Haute Shoes In Noir
March 17, 2009
Alright, I have shoes on my mind and I want something with a strong bold statement. Pour La Victoire is setting just the perfect mood for me- very high heels in a clasic black color, but incredibly rich with attitude.
Brazilian made and French inspired, Pour La Victoire’s shoes are indeed very fabulous.
Above is the Paige Sandal and Tia Platform Slide, both with a gorgeous heel and filled with straps. I think I prefer the Paige for every day wear since it can be worn with most anything, but there is something so dangerous and sultry about the Tia Platform that I cannot resist. Both are killer heels to take notice of. I am adding them to my list.
Classic black heels are fabulous, but sometimes you want a little more attitude or play in structure to reinvent the timeless look- perhaps why we can never have enough black shoes… though the same applies to shoes in any color, truly!
You can find them online from endless, zappos, or your preferable place to shop for shoes- I am loving these styles very much, definitely meeting my cravings.
In fact, the Sabrina Platform below has also caught my eye- has that rock and roll glamor look and feel to it. Quite fun!
Little Miss Aveline
February 8, 2009
It was only a matter of time before I introduced her, and so here she is: little miss Aveline. Wherever there are new shoes to be found, a new purse or other fashion accessory, even a new shopping bag- there you will find her.
Ever since she was a teeny tiny kitten, she has loved all things fashion (actually making my hat box into her bed, mushed hat included). Watching me do my make up with the brushes is something she has always loved, it is her favorite thing to do in the morning still to this day.
She is my little girl with the spotted belly and I call her Aveline. Very cat like, unlike her brother Ulric- she never knocks over anything- no matter how crowded a bookshelf may be, and is so quiet and quick you may never even see her. When her brother tries to mimic her moves, he knocks over items in the other room- not even close to her grace, though I still love him, too.
Kitties can be funny, and these two are constantly entertaining and keeping me happy. They know when a snuggle is in order or when to play, and they are always there in times of need. You’ve met Ulric in a previous post, now you have met my little Aveline as well.
She likes to nap with her little stuffed puppy toy, funny little thing.
She does love her belly rubs, as well. Such a cutie.
Lavender Beauty with a Radiant Glow
January 14, 2009
When was the last time you were given a bracelet that you instantly loved and felt connected with? It glows when you wear it and somehow you just feel pretty and fabulous, and even invincible, to the world. It is rare to find such a charm, but you know it when it happens.
For me, it is my lavender beauty:
And what beautiful timing for such a treat! My fiance has done very well with this one 
I’m quite the lucky little lady, as he always surprises me with the most wonderful things.
I love everything about this bracelet- especially the way it feels when I put it on. It is so light and delicate yet you can really sense a strong and powerful energy radiate from it. It is gorgeous!
And for me, it matches my personality and love of fashion and femininity.
I love it when jewelry has a soft and unique sound to it, and when I move these glass lavender beads make such a beautiful and soft little song. I love how they dangle from a single thin and solid band- and just look at the beads themselves, the color is so rich and gorgeous, quite even more so in person. A heart with a delicate little design- love it. I will admit I do love hearts, maybe it is the girlie child love in me but I so do still adore them.
I can wear this and not feel like it was intended for a child as a toy, though- which I like. It isn’t always easy to pull a heart off in jewelry without looking forced or foolish. And I think once again LOVEMADDS accomplished it flawlessly here.
It isn’t often a luxury like this one comes along- and you can be sure I will not be letting this discovery go, either. I am constantly excited to see what she is creating next; Madeline Rhodes is a designer with an energy of her own you can genuinely see and feel in each one of her designs. Am looking forward to seeing even more from her.
As well as indulging and treating myself The beauty of each piece having a unique personality and charm, too is that it makes for the perfect present. I have some very fashionable friends who can be difficult to shop for at times- the will they love it or hate it factor can be troublesome in department stores. But with her collection and its uniqueness I don’t have to worry and know my friends will love it! Who doesn’t love a one-of-a-kind hand crafted gem designed just for them? So fabulous!
Am looking forward to a pretty and fabulous birthday this weekend- it arrived just in time!
Lifestyle Luxury From An At Home Income & Someone Dear To Me
January 9, 2009
How do I live such a glamorous lifestyle?
Well, in answer to the old… “So what do you *do* anyway” question. What I do has more to do with why we do anything- to achieve the luxury of a certain lifestyle.
“A luxurious lifestyle” and “the comforts of home,” we may say the phrase casually but it does hold a meaning to us all. We all yearn for it and after all is said in done there is nothing as luxurious as having all the time you wish to spend in your very own little place. It is all about having your own quality time.
I don’t think I have formally introduced him so here he is, someone very dear to me and someone who has allowed me to live this lifestyle that I cherish.
He is my fiance, Timothy Black. Together through his experiences and knowledge we are able to live the lifestyle that we do. Oh, and by the way, neither of us work. And in case you are wondering, there was no inheritance or trust fund or anything of that sort involved! We don’t have any bosses, or schedules, or meetings.. we pretty much do whatever we want to each day, it’s really great.
Sometimes I think I take it for granted and don’t share enough about it to you, and I want to. Especially as it is something that is open to anyone who wants our lifestyle, too.
It doesn’t matter how much you earn if you work until you are so tired you have no time to yourself. There are more important things in life and nothing should keep that away from you.
Enjoying a great dinner with friends, Timothy is on the right and I am in the braids.
So we travel, and shop (he has a great eye for style, I seem to have rubbed off on him nicely), and eat, and drink wine, and spend time with family and make great new friends along the way. He is great at what he has created for the brilliant thing is that it is all from home. He shows those who want to discover an income at home how to do it and do it well, too. He is a great coach- he taught me and I couldn’t believe how easy it was, or how fun it could be especially when you are in control.
It brings me great new shoes, dresses, jewelry, spontaneous trips, and most importantly the time to do what I want when I want with the people I want.
It really rocks, lol.
For his birthday I took him skydiving in Lake Wales- what a great time. We were delayed a day though since there was a tornado warning or watch in effect- not something you want when you are jumping out of a plane! The next day was beautiful and I would do it again in an instant.
When I first met Timothy (over six years ago) and found out a bit about him, I also found out that he shouldn’t be alive by the opinions of many doctors. Getting into a relationship, that isn’t something you want to hear, let alone throwing him out of an airplane like this.
We’ve come a long way, and I wanted to share our story with you. I think it is important.
You can find out more about why he “shouldn’t be alive” and then visit http://www.concealedcash.com
And it is an amazing story, just take a look and see for yourself. You can also see how it is that we make a living at home and have the lifestyle that we do.
This is something I want available to you since it can improve your life no matter where you are.
Much Love and Best Regards,
Bombshell Kitten
