It’s Friday - time to relax, go out with friends - maybe for dinner? How about catching a movie?
You’re going to need a purse.
How about this cute little vintage velvet clutch purse?
Perfect for dressing up with a cute little skirt & kitten heels or dressing down with a t-shirt :-)

I tried to find a photo online of my “Indigo by Clarks” boots yesterday, but couldn’t find last year’s collection. I did however find some very wearable shoes from this year!

The very aptly-named “Cute Bar” in black.
These “Flower Power” ballets flats also come in pink leather. I think these in ivory […]

I was recently given a beautiful old necktie box:

So where do you store your special treasures?

My Nana couldn’t find the pin. She looked all […]

I’m thrilled to be getting married this summer, and of course, wanted to do something a little different for my bridesmaids.

These are five pins from my own collection, […]

I think that this is a great little gift idea for that best friend or teen in your life. And when the lip gloss is used up, you don’t have to toss the container. You have a great little bracelet as a reminder of the occasion!
Details…
Silvertone chain link bracelet with double heart logo plaque and […]

I have this love for the history of fashion and last night seeing that I couldn’t sleep anyway, I decided to get up at the unearthly hour of 4 a.m and see what I could dig up. Here’s what I found out about high heels.
1. The earliest heels can be traced back to the ancient […]
