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.

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.

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

another pillow cover I made this past weekend.

White on White.

 This week The Fashionista Next Door chose for Style me Friday  the famous Button Up shirt.  I had pretty much an idea what I want to wear, since I have a lot of white up button shirts.

I choose to wear it with my white jeans. I recently got the purse at a thrift store and give it some TLC by using a nail polish on the hardware. 

So the inspiration behind my outfit are these 2 outfits I pinned on Pinterest a while ago.

TGIF I can't wait to go see The Butler in a couple of hours, have a great weekend.

Wednesday mishap!

Such a dumb thing happened to me today,  I guess I thought since I can sew I got sewing covered,  II started sewing leather  using a regular needle. Well after a couple of seconds, the needle broke and pieces flew all over the place and a tiny part got stuck in my chest.

 I am fine thank God after I saw the injured part in the mirror I ran to my neighbor who was kind enough to let me squeeze her hubby's hand while she used the tweezers to get the pieces out.

I did learn a valuable lesson.....  I need to buy needles that I can use to work with leather and  wear goggles next time or some type of glasses to protect my eyes.
