Monday at the Movies

I saw this over the weekend. I love Sandra Bullock but I think she needed a different guy...not that he's not cute. Parts of it were funny and the scenery made me want to go to Alaska. Betty White was adorable and stole the show.

Have a marvel0us Monday!

Fashion Friday

I thought I'd show you some more cuties from Casual Living. I like the asymetrical floral on the skirt...just to make it a little different. The two sides make it "slimming" too.

The greens in this dress are pretty and look cool .

Almost a bandana print in this one. Cute detailing and a pretty border, too.


Now these are my colors...those peachy romantic hues with a floral print and flutter sleeves. Very pretty to wear to a summer wedding.



I like this more modern print in cool blue, too.
I like dresses and skirts alot since I'm short and have trouble getting pants to fit right. Men like them too!

Claremont Family Festival

I went to Claremont last night to the Claremont Family Festival. My sister, Mary Linda (above) sells her beautiful jewelry there. I bought a gift for Paul's mother's retirement party and something for my self (of course).
The festival is every Wednesday night. They have a lot of different crafts and artists, great food, and live bands. I'm so sorry I forgot my camera. Anyway it was a fun place to be.
Have a great day!

Murder ot the Cafe Noir

Last night I went with a Meet-Up group to the Avila Terrace Theatre to see "Murder at the Cafe Noir." This was a comedy mystery dinner show. Great Fun! The cast was excellent! I met some nice people, too.

This is a photo of the cast (in the back) with a few Meet-up people. It was a super way to start the summer!

Cerritos Sheraton Last Night

The Cerritos Sheraton...the place to be on Thursday nights!
Yesterday I went to the Cerritos Sheraton to see my friend Will Donato and Steve Oliver perform. This is the entrance to the patio dining area where they were playing.Steve and Will on stage. This was a fabulous show!



Steve and Will did lots of original songs, smooth jazz and audience requests.



Kellie and Jill enjoying the ambiance!




There was a dinner buffet for $8.95. Delicious and very reasonable price. This is my Caesar salad.





Flowers on the patio.






The Cerritos Sheraton is right across from the Cerritos Performing Arts Center. This is a statue outside the Performing Arts Center. Just as I started to take the picture...the overhead lights went out.









The fountain looking towards the Performing Arts Center.











Flowers around the fountain.

Monday at the Movies (a day late)


I went to see this yesterday! Very cute movie and it made me want to go to Greece. The scenery was gorgeous including the tour bus driver. I liked one of the things Richard Dreyfus said. He said "Stop looking for obstacles and look for the magic." I think that's going to be my motto right now.
Lots of hugs,
Susan

Fashion Friday

I found these cute tops on line at Casual Living. The shirred top is so cute with white capris.
I love patchwork and this is going to be mine soon.

The one shoulder look but you can still wear a regular bra.



Cute ruffle top tee. The ruffles aren't too much...they just look dressy and feminine.


This is a two piece set: cardigan and matching tank. The picture below shows the print in better focus.










Another of my favorite things: bandana prints. I love this for the 4th of July.
Tomorrow I'm going to the Yorba Linda Farmers Market. So I'll let you know what it's like.
Have a fantastic weekend.
Hugs, Susan

Tonight at the Sheraton

Tonight Will and Steve Donn are playing at the the Sheraton in Cerritos. The show starts at 6 pm. Will is going to do some of his original compositions. It sounds like a great show!
These are pictures from the Sheraton's web site. It looks like a really nice venue.


Hope some of you from So. Cal. can make the show.

Monday at the Movies

I can't wait for this to come out! I love movies set in the thirties and forties and movies from that time period. This is about Dillinger and other "public enemies" from 1933-1934. It's starring Johnny Depp as Dillinger. I hope this is a good one...the trailer looked great.

I'm also reading the book by Bryan Burrough which came out in 2004. Of course now it has Johnny Depp's picture on the cover. Can you think of a better way to sell books? This one I actually bought new. I read so many books that I'm usually buying from the used book store here in town. This is a cheap way to go especially since I like mysteries and thrillers in paperback. I wanted to read this book first (and it's really interesting) so I would understand what's going on in the movie and historically too. It tells about the bank robbers and about how the FBI got started.

Have a marvelous Monday!
Hugs, Susan

Fashion Friday

I thought I'd show you what I bought the other day to wear to Kobe's. I have this top which is chocolate brown (not black). I liked the little tie on the bottom...I'm still in Flapper mode.


I also got these in chocolate brown to go with them. If your top and bottom are the same color, it's supposed to make you look taller and slimmer. I need all the help I can get!

I'm debating about this dress. I would like it if it's not too "MuMu" and without those leggings. I don't have a problem with leggings with the right top but this doesn't need them. I'll have to try this dress on and see if it fits. I like the color alot.


Now this is my kind of style. Simple lines and something fun going on at the top. You wouldn't need a necklace of course. Throw it on and some shoes and you are out the door looking pretty pulled together.



This is really simple but if you look closely at the sleeves you'll see little rhinestone buttons. Even a plain Tee has to have "something!"




I love the embellishements on this top, too.





Nice feminine touch to this little tank.






Even the plain white Tee has lace at the bottom. This also comes in turquoise and in pink.







Sexy and dressy with the flutter sleeves. I love the blue, too.
Have a fabulous Friday!
Lots of hugs, Susan

David Carradine

I was so saddened by the news that David Carradine had passed away. He's been a "crush" of mine for many years even before he did "Kung Fu." He was on TV before that playing "Shane." I thought he was so cute in buckskins. Anyway I've always liked him so I thought I'd share a few pictures I found on the net.







Have a good day.
Hugs, Susan
