To the Max.

I have a secret love affair with TJMaxx I always find something there, like this maxi dress from Max Studio on sale for $22 original price $138. As soon as I saw it I was like I need this, perfect for now and later with scarves and a denim jacket when the weather gets colder, handy for my trip to the Caribbean in a couple of months.

I am heading out in a bit to the Art in the Park event and might take a look at the Dragon Con event happening in Downtown.
Happy Saturday peeps.



dress: Max Studio (TJMaxx)
earings: handmade bought them at a Jewelry show

What's cooking?

I love a good burger,  here at my house the hubby makes buffalo or turkey burgers. 
I got to make my first burger the other day, mine was beef I made a spicy mayo and ketchup concoction I grilled onions and mushrooms and added aged sliced Swiss cheese to it.
Both the kids said "this is better than daddy's. 
Next time I want to make one with goat cheese and a homemade fig preserve.

Time to Update my Fall Closet.

I have been looking to update my closet for Fall, I want to reuse pieces I have but I also want to do a little shopping I want to bring in some new stuff. Who doesn't love a little bit of shopping.
First thing one my list would be a beautiful coat that has a timeless look all over and fits me well. I really love fitted coats, it shows off so elegant. 

I have found one that doesn't break the bank on Simons.ca it's a mixed media double-breasted coat with faux leather sleeves and I have my eyes fixed on the perfect Tahari riding boots from DSW  to go with it.
On my wish list from Simon Ca, a red ribbed cuffed beanie perfect for those bad hair days and a glamorous faux-fur stole cause I always wanted one.

Mini Monday!

I am still recuping from "s Miley's exorcism at the VMA's yesterday evening.
No class at all. 
But another note it's Monday and it's sunny here in Atlanta.
I got this skirt at a Thrift store with the means to get it cut so I could use the fabric for future sewing projects.  I decided to try it on yesterday and was glad with the fit and that is has pockets so  this skirt will no longer be in the fabric pile.


skirt: Gap (thrifted)
blouse: Banana Republic
shoes: Aerosoles
bag: Etienne Aigner (thrifted)





I love my "smile" bracelet made just for me.

another pillow cover I made this past weekend.
