Fashion Friday

I like to get separates to mix and match together to create alot of outfits. I like my tops to have a little something extra: a cute trim, neckline, pretty fabric. I'm not into plain. This cute V-neck has pretty embroidery as an accent.

This pretty one has a touch of lace at the neckline. I also like the sprinkling of aqua throughout the black and white floral print.

I'm really not into turtlenecks but I thought this one was different. The bow at the neckline makes it stand out. I love red, too.

A crocheted accent at the sweetheart neckline makes this one pretty. It also has a cute sleeves.

On hot summer days this daring embroidered top will be showing off.

Pretty lace across the top and sleeves makes this dressy.

A "night out" top of black lace. Pair this with a black skirt or slacks and you can go out for cocktails or to a party. I would wear this to the Esmeralda. I'd like to buy this one but it's kind of expensive.

Pretty red tunic with a little feminine ruffle at the neckline. Elbow length sleeves make a great cover up for chubby arms.

Another pretty lavendar top with a ruffled accent on the V neck.

Hope your Friday is fashionably Fabulous!

Red Cowboy Boots

I am really lusting after these to go with my red cowboy hat. Aren't they cute? I can't really justify the "Need" though. Is "I don't have any cowboy boots and these are adorable!" enough of a reason?

I thought I'd update you on Max and his teeth troubles. He is on steroids and the sores on his gums are healing. He can eat dry food again and prefers it to softened up dry food. Of course his favorites foods are of the canned variety. He's feeling a lot better but we'll see what happens when his steroid treatments end.

Happy Thursday!

The Red Cowboy Hat

I'm feeling like "Meekie" this morning. I'd just like to kick back but I've got lots to do. She is a Queen afterall and I'm not. Before I get started I want to show you the red hat I got. We're going to the "Brandin' Iron" in San Bernardino and do some line dancing in May. So I had to get a cowboy hat. This cutie just came in the mail yesterday.

The pictures are from the catalog.

It has embroidered roses and sequin accents. When I have the rest of my outfit figured out and on me, I'll take pictures.

Have a great Day!

Hugs, Susan

Monday at the Movies

I just saw this last night at the movies (I'm a little slow on the uptake). I wanted to see it in the theater before it was gone. I'm not exactly recommending it...because it really deserves it's R rating for sex, drugs and rock'n roll. The wrestling action was brutal at times. This would be a great movie even if a lot of the "R" stuff wasn't in it. Mickey Rourke deserves all the excellent reviews for his performance. I was crying at times because he really did such a great job.
I'm really liberal but I think this movie would have been just as good or better with a little restraint on the R stuff because some people won't see it because of that. And that's kind of a shame. Really all the actors were good and the story was very touching.

Hugs for Monday!

Party all Weekend!

Friday we had a birthday dinner at Marie's house for Heather's children Jeremy and Haley. This picture is of the beautiful cousins: Marie (on left) and Heather. They look like sisters. Marie is Mary Linda's daughter and Heather is Sharon's daughter.

Grammy Sharon with Brandon (Heather's oldest).

Blaike and Johnny are Marie's children.

The birthday kids: Jeremy and Haley. Their birthdays are within a few days of each other. Heather, Mark (her husband) and the kids are down here visiting from the Sacramento area.

Mary Linda, Me and Sharon.

Scott (Marie's husband) with Jeremy, Johnny and JoyJoy.

Scott and Mark.

Marie with her brother Rick. Marie is so beautiful and a pink warrier. She is doing so well now!

You can barely see Tanya (Rick's girlfriend). I'm not too great at setting up shots. Still practicing. Or maybe it was the wine we had with dinner.

The gorgeous Heather. Edges of Tanya and Mary Linda. I gotta learn to crop.

Rick and the beautiful Tanya. Of course I cut off Heather.

A great fun time! We were so casual. We ordered pizza and I brought a salad. Scott opened the wine and we laughed all night. (We really only had a glass each.) We go to Scott's and Marie's for New Year's Eve and play games and visit half the night. It was like New Year's Eve Friday. We played a game sort of like password. We would look at a phrase and then describe it and/or act it out. The older kids had fun with it too. We're not very strict about rules as long as we're laughing!







Then on Saturday my chapter had a Red Hat Luncheon at Olive Garden. We are a tiny chapter and are still open to new members.

Me (Queen Susan), Diana, Faye, Carolyn (the Vice Queen...fitting since her husband is a retired deputy sheriff) and Martha. We're not that strict about hats either.

Diana and Faye. We only had a "taste" of free wine before lunch.

Carolyn and Martha. We laughed and talked in Olive Garden for over two hours. Then Faye, Carolyn, Martha and I went thrifting. No pictures of that little side trip...I was too busy checking out the goods.

Then Saturday night I went out to see the Band (my friends Art of Sax) in Indian Wells. No wonder I'm dragging today! I had to take a nap.

Hope your weekend was fabulous!

Hugs, Susan

Fashion Friday Dresses Continued

I'm starting with my favorite from Kiyonna. Love the wrap and the pretty in pink color. It's the right length, covers chubby arms and shows a little cleavage. The only problem is that Kiyonna is not cheap. Their clothes are stylish and well made though.

A one shoulder showing style from Fashion bug. Makes a cute "little black dress."

Cute Safari dress.

I like this because of the wrap and the black, gray and white detail.

I love the white collar and bow but I know if I bought this I's shorten it to knee length. I'm so short this would drag on the floor. This is from Roman's which is getting more "in" every day.

Another cutie from Roman's. This would be nice to wear to a wedding.

This is a pretty one from Jessica London. Very pretty but again I'd hem it up.

I'm thinking about this for the red hats. I love the ruffle on the bottom and it has corsages on it's left side too.

Another Jessica London. This color is everywhere here in California.

Have a fabulous weekend!
