Flirty and floral tops

It's all about flirty and floral tops which ooze femininity (had to double-check if I had enough n's!)
millefiore pink and olive floral top by Claudia Richard in a dark chocolate background, paired with a dark chocolate tank top(optional!)
this pink floral choker necklace...
 these cute khaki and ivory crochet lace espadrilles...
brown medalion print top teamed with a brown skirt...
this amber and ivory floral choker necklace...
 this really pretty red and white floral blouse teamed with sage green crochet cardigan...
this red roses choker necklace...
pink and maroon millefiore tie front top by Old Glory, paired with a dull pink and white denim flounced skirt by Kikit Jeans...
a confetti top by j. t. b. with a plunging neckline that I've paired with a pair lavender tank-it works...
these pink pumps...
and how about these red suede mules that have seen some wear but they're keepers!

Autumn: It's All About the Shoes and Bags...

I love the rich maroon of these sling-backs by Rampage with equestrian buckles...tally ho!
basket-weave leather mules...there's something so rustic and autumnal about them...
these kitten-heal peach heart and bow slides by Rampage are a fave...
bronze metalic sandals...a classic!
patent leather crocodile sandals by Partners...these were an indispensable find at Mervyn's!
a tawny faux crocodile bag in genuine leather...tho...
sueded dark chocolate bag...yum...

and the brown / tawny toned bags would work well with these Doc Martens saffron snakeskin boots
and if the brown is on the pinkish side, these mauve Doc Martens snakeskin boots...
these metallic bags in autumnal bags that were only a few cents each...I couldn't resist!

Autumnal Togs...

"togs?" you say...it's Brit for clothes! So what am I thinking of donning for Fall...some thoughts...
a canvas tiered skirt with wooden beads and embroidery...very autumnal!
Maple 🍁 leaf sweater

this little spotted number with a mother of pearl necklace...

I love the luminescence of the MOP!

I can see it with this blush floral necklace...
or perhaps this cocoa rose floral choker necklace...
or this tortoise shell link necklace...
a sueded paisley and carnation patterned skirt in rich chestnut tones...
this coffee duster coat...
khaki cateye sunglasses...
a yummy rust colored cross-over yoga top


these faux suede ginger / coral mules...
this rusty coral red roses floral choker necklace...
this yummy rust toned pouch, which was a gift...

and another gift, this time from Clinique, a gift with purchase...as their Marketing campaign says...
to lounge around in, a tracksuit in "Tiger Lilly" with a taupe top...
this gorgeous shawl that can be scrunged up into a scarf in rich maroons, reds and navy...love it!

a looong purple, black and white tunic top with white lace edged tights, with a plum hued lacey camisole underneath, just about peeking out...
paired with baroque amethyst choker and purple enameled bangles...
I would also team this ensemble with these purple SaltWater sandals...
and hey presto!, with this perfect purple jacket, this flimsy top is wearable in Autumn! perfectly plum!
these Miista purple holographic shoes...
and this purple enamel flower brooch over the lapel...
the tunic would go well with these violet hued eggplant jeans...

and perhaps these deep plum sunglasses...

WISH LIST

a gorgeous pink and mulberry leopard handbag by Mulberry!

The Perfect "Non Costume" for Halloween...

I think I've found it...something funky to feed the Sagittarian in me...
yes...I've found the perfect "non costume" for Halloween-a melange of leopard, peacock, cobalt, fall colors...you name it, it's got it...paired with a sequened mask in cobalt, of course...peacock earrings and my turquoise fossil bead and cloisonne necklace...

Reading List Updated...

Elizabeth Gilbert ;-D hehe...what an amusing read...I LOVED IT!!!

Michael Baigent's book The Jesus Papers...thought provoking...I wish he'd written more about Puteoli(modern day Puzzuoli, near Naples or in the Bay of Naples, Italy) and the underwater villas from the ancient Roman republic...anyone know more about those...please do share...as well as the underground tunnels where the ancients gathered...I'll say no more...
