Pretty shoes

I love my new shoes!
Matt loves seeing me in my new shoes!
I love how I got them at bargain prices... Matt agrees!



Kelsi Dagger heels in mauve with faux snake skin. Very pinup shape.



Banfi Zambrelli Lottie heels. Amazingly comfortable.
Both snagged on Gilt Groupe (I never could have afforded them otherwise). You can join HERE.

Elizabeth Messina... you are wonderful!

I love this lady too! Her photographs are magical and capture all the beauty in this world.

Here are some pretty fresh Freesias in an old bottle vase which I have placed on a table in the shop to end this week. See you next week...

How to Complete Your Outfit with Jewelry

Have you ever finished getting ready for a big night out or a day of work and just felt like your outfit was lacking some finishing touch? Some final accessory that will polish off your look and pull everything together? If so, consider adding one of the most popular trends of the season – a cocktail ring. And not to worry, we're not talking about diamonds here, instead, it's all about CZ jewelry. CZ rings add a touch of glamour to any outfit. They act as the icing on the cake as they help to compliment the look and feel you are trying to achieve.CZ jewelry - ringOne of the biggest trends of the moment involves costume jewelry, and Cubic Zirconia rings fit perfectly into that mold. You can express yourself and your personality in a fun way through large rhinestones, fun designs and over the top settings. If you've always wanted a large rock on your finger, now you can get one, without the over the top price tag. And if you're wanted to channel your inner rock star and wear a bold piece of jewelry with spikes or black rhinestones, CZ rings are right on cue.CZ ringOn the other hand, Cubic Zirconia rings can also be refined, helping you to pull off classic pulled together chic. Go vintage cool by wearing a few Cubic Zirconia rings with blouses of lace, satin, silk or chiffon. Pair one of these tops with a pencil skirt or a pair of tailored jeans for a great look that will take you from office to happy hour.

CZ rings are a fantastic way to do a quick outfit update. With big bold stones or a pop of color, they can make or break your outfit. Cubic Zirconia rings are great for woman of any age.
