Hi Everybody!

OK, most of you know that I've had some - shall we say - Problems? 

with my Blog Comments.

Well, after exactly 6 days and a bunch of support from my bestest blog buddies, my precious hubby, and an unknown stranger (you know who you are :), 
the problem has been RESOLVED!

It took me to a very dark place. I know, it's not the end of the world to lose contact with the people you have built a community with for almost 4 years... Oh, wait, Hell Yes it was! 

With all the other 'stuff' going on in my little corner of the globe, 

this was the nail on the coffin of my sanity.

If anyone has had this problem with their blog comments, 

pop me a line and I'll tell you what happened in detail....

I must thank my best blog buddy ever for her help. 

And to everyone who has joined my new fan page.

Keep on coming, it's still there and growing ;) But, enough about me...

 Outfit posts to resume ASAP!

And, would ya please leave a comment? I've missed them so....

Super Big Hugs!

A perfect tunic from the lovely Jennie of Frocktasia! The long, flowy silk tunic seems like it was made just for me.

About the tunic:

I had a thousand ideas on how to style it, so I picked two (for now ;)

This piece will be a basic in my wardrobe for many years. Probably until it is a rag....

Here are some more photos:

I had to ditch the vest to show off the glory!

I had so many ideas, from jeans underneath, a denim vest, 

all kinds of scarf play, loads of beads, all kinds of shoes...

Look number two:

Flowy with a sweater...

MEET JONI

Remember yesterday when I got some packages. Well, one was an over-the-knee boot (Finally!) and a print from a new blog buddy, Joni. I had peeked in at her etsy shop and was blown away by her kick-@ss prints! I told her I was gonna buy one for my Birthday (June 19th;). She just went ahead and gave me the one I loved for a present! 
How nice,thoughtful and generous was that? (and more gushes)

Another over 40 blogger from Seattle!
She goin' for hip beyond 50!

Her style blog is awesome and you can tell she has 

'the touch' that only an artist could have. 

I love this look, inspired by art of course!

Here are a few of her designs I am lusting for at her etsy shop,

With Thanks....

Hi all!

I'd like to say a big Hello and Thanks to all my newest followers!

Doing a blog post everyday is such a great way for me to practice my love for creativity, but it is so much more enjoyable when you know that other's appreciate your work as well. And, blogging is a work of art. I love to meet new blog buddies. I love seeing their creativity whether through their outfit choices, photos, blog layouts, even the fonts they choose!

All of the things tell me a little bit about who you are. In the beginning of my blog, I blared out an overbearing "look at me" vibe, including a new soundtrack each day (people really hated that one ;)... There are some new, really great ones out there and I must update my blogroll. Bear with me, I am slow :)

 This button is for a new blog buddy:

the

Grunge Queen

a bohemian thrifter as well!

HANDMADE DRESS,BAG,SCARF: thrift store 

 CARDI: Target,75%off / SHOES: Dot's,clx

Over the couple years, I have cleaned up my blog a lot, 

Though photo overload will always be my weak link :) But that's not too bad.

My mentor told me to try to keep it down to five. Gosh, that's hard...

Another bloggy tip: get a mentor! 

She has been a blog-saver!

Sorry Zen-Master ;) Love ya!

A Trip....

Hi all,
As I write this, I am off to my parents. My father has been hospitalized.
The first Cincy Blogger Bash was last night and I hear it was a big success! 
I had to miss it as I was stationed by the phone awaiting news. 
My Dad is stable, however my help is much needed. 


It's funny how 'real life' can hit you at any moment and make you question your priorities. I have been a bit 'on the fence' with regards to continuing my blog for a while now. I'm sure you've noticed my fewer posts ;) There are times when I am becoming unsure of the impact that my blogging is having on me. Am I losing my connection with the real world? Is it easier to have friends whom you have never given a true hug to? Easier to express myself in a glib, 'always a smile' way?


I'm really just not sure...
I do know I enjoy fashion. I really enjoy showing other women that you don't have to spend a fortune to look and feel great about yourself. I LOVE telling you that being you is more important than feeling like another cog in the wheel of conformity. However, while figuring out what to wear at the Bash (that I didn't even get to attend!), I was an insecure mess. I was a 47 year old woman who instead of celebrating her unique self, I was wondering in the back of my mind what other's would think of me. Yep, still human... Still flawed... How silly...

So, during the next week or two, being a Care-giver, a Daughter, a Lover, 

a real-life Woman - 

I will be reassessing my role as a blogger. I think I will come back renewed and recharged. Ready to keep doing this thing with style - a new purpose and possibly a new blog entirely.... or letting it go for awhile. I suppose time will tell.

Til then...

Big Hugs to you all :)

xXx
