Hey folks,
Well, my Spring is officially over :-(.....

Stay tuned for pics of my trip, but in the meantime enjoy the pics for this blogging moment. 

Here are a few items I purchased while on my trip. I absolutely adore these paper earrings made from recycled paper purchased at House of Suna at store located at the West End Mall in Atlanta, GA.

Sephora: much needed items

It has been a while and I do apologize for staying away so long, but as you may well know life happened and I got behind on everything.

Here are some pics of my latest find at Sephora in JCP.  I am so looking forward to the sporting the colors in the eyeshadow palette. I love earth tones because I can wear them daily and they are easy to change from day to night.  I have quite a few earth tone palettes. Some I like and others will be tossed out because they aren't working for me.   I have never tried Sephora's eyeshadows before, keeping my fingers crossed on a love connection. Pics of me wearing them to follow soon.

January obsession

I sometimes tickle myself.  I should be writing posts for a work project, but I find myself here on my personal (private) blog instead.  Passion is a mutha!

At any rate,  I was on quite a vintage brooch kick the first week in January.  Thank God it has subsided (some).  I swear I remember these brooches from the 1980's.  I can recall having one or two that I shared with my mother. I liked them then and I LOVE them now.  I had initially went on a massive brooch-hunt because I wanted to use them as an embellishment for some DYI jewelry and to wear on a plaid blazer that I found at the newly opened Savers thrift store in Woodbury.

vintage brooch shown here was given to me by a co-worker who once was a jewelry rep for Napier
