I NEED SOME SUNSHINE!!

So far my blog has been all about design. For those of you who know me or have read my profile know I also love fashion, make-up (I am such a lipstick junky) and gardening.  I just noticed something! The things I love involves making things more beautiful. Hmmmm! ( Some deeper thought on that later). 

 Today I am going to show you some fashion items that have been catching my eye lately.  Over the years I have noticed something about how I shop for fashion.  It all started on shopping trips with my Mom.  I noticed I shopped by colors.  You know a green day, or a blue day, or a yellow day.  I am in the mood for some sunshine relief from the gloomy winter weather, so I went looking for it in the form of clothing.  Are you ready for some sunshine?

I love this outfit!! I  would not wear it all together, but each piece is worth buying to me and mixing it up with other pieces.  We all know we should not be too matchy, or what I like to call Smatchy. You know when the matchiness smacks you in the face.(Please feel free to use this phrase whenever it is appropriate)

Darling tote for this spring.

I know this is not yellow but you can tell I love to mix my basic black and whites with a pop of color.  I think this sweater would look darling with jeans, white shirt and cute yellow flats,don't you?

Now for a bit of a surprise! All of the above pictures are from Tarjay!  That's right, all at great prices and a fun little addition to brighten up your wardrobe.

I am going to try and show you pieces at all affordable price points.  There will be a few splurges and some that I will even have to find a copy-cat look.  It is fun to just look and get some ideas. Shall we continue?

You must admit if I am going to mix bright yellow in with my black and white I need a cute pair of flats.  Love these from Nordstroms by Via Spiga for $99.  I know for some a bit high, and for others not, but these would last for quite a few years so why not splurge on a staple for your wardrobe

No one does brights quite as well as Kate Spade!  This is a super-splurge in my book at $216. I will probably be looking for one that cost less but, I still had to show you.  After-all this is virtual shopping.(No money has exchanged hands in the dreaming of this purchase.)

Express for $49.50! They have a sale right now- buy one get one half-off.

Anthropologie for $88, very cute!

I love stripes and this is a cute combination of two favorite colors black and yellow, by Lauren Jeans for Dillards priced at $49.50.

Bjorn flats are just FUN!! And comfy!!  $88.

Another striped top from the Gap $39.50

London Fog $88

DSW $39.95. I am thinking seriously about this one. I realllly want the Kate Spade, Oh well. I told you I will have to be looking for a copy-cat look.  This is not a copy-cat for the Kate Spade, but it is bright yellow.

Jessica Simpson for Macys $38.00

This would give a simple outfit a lot of punch.

Even this fun beaded bracelet from Old Navy at only $12.50 would look great with a plain white tee and jeans.

Hurley Wilson for Pac Sun at $39.50

Piperlime for $70, these ballet flats are adorable.

With all of these fun pieces in yellow don't you feel a little sunnier?  Whether you can wear yellow or not, think of another color to add pop to your wardrobe.  Remember, a little POP goes a long way, so keep it to one item. No Smatching allowed.

I must leave you with one last picture, afterall this is a design blog, right?

Whoa!! That is a little bit too sunny!

FANCY FRIDAY

I have not done a Fancy Friday post for awhile and I was reminded by someone very special to me that they would really like to see another one.  I went to my Fancy File and found a few things to share, so here is a Fancy Friday post for my Fancy Friend.

This brings eating french fries to a whole new level.  I wonder if these would be non-fattening?

I am not a fast food eater; however, in this packaging I just might be tempted. If nothing else I would save the cute containers.

What can I say???

A  Fancy girl needs her ruffles and plumes (that is a fancy word for feathers)!

Sparkly always equals Fancy

One can never have enough Chanel, right? Chanel No.5 is my all-time favorite fragrance. If you would like to see a blog that is full of beautiful, fancy and lovely images, go here . You will see so much eye candy, it is truly a delightfully Fancy blog called, This is Galmorous. When I need a soothing glamorous fix this blog is where I go, her visions are so lovely.

How would you like to put this in........

........This! Yes, it is gold plated and only cost $10,000. So if you can afford this then you can afford Louis Vuittton garbage sacks. I told you this is a Fancy Friday!

Being Fancy can be Frivolously Fun!!
