Zara's Studded Sandals

This is my shoes for today. It's super hot in SA. It looked like we were getting a monsoon a few days ago. But nothing. We really need the rain. We went to the mall yesterday and I was able to stay true to not spending. I read a blog stating that looking at other people's blogs makes you more likely to buy things that are neither your taste or something you really need. I wonder how true that is? I know for a while I got caught up in wanting everything I saw. Now I just have repeats of my older pieces. Not the norm. But I can still revolve my outfits. What say you all?

Zara Shoes and J.Crew Sash

These are the shoes that I had been posting about. I really like these. They are so pretty and Comfy. The pink is very subtle almost nude. Now these don't go with every outfit. But they did with my outfit today. I really, really like them. I especially love the straps. They add a little whimsy to the shoes. The sash is from  J. Crew. I bought it because of the sequins and the color blush. I love that color. Goes with the shoes just right. I wore the outfit I posted  on my Polyvore except for the shoes. ( I changed my mind ) Because I noticed the top matched the shoes perfectly. I am addicted to shoes and wish that I could stop buying them. I do sell the ones I do not wear though. I don't believe in keeping shoes that I do not wear. But these are definitely keepers.! Keep on shopping Ladies <3

J. Crew, Fish Tacos and Order up Restaurant

Went to lunch with my daughter. It's hot outside!! Came to one of our favorite  restaurants It's called Order Up  We eat there a lot. Their menu is SO good. We go at least once or twice a week! I love all of their food. Be it Burgers, Salads or Chicken Tacos. They have it all. I wore my cute gold Metallic J. Crew flats.(Sorry about the bruise pic on my foot) My Boxer landed on my poor foot with his big ole paws. I also wore my white J. Crew Shorts and my Mint sweater.It was way too hot for a dress. Hope you all Have a wonderful Friday! We did :)

J. Crew Shimmy dress

J. Crew Shimmy dress by lepetitdraipiere featuring j. crew dresses

I am going to take off the Black sash. It feels too dressey with the black. I am going to wear either one of these two belts or another Brighton belt I own. It's got a bigger buckle and is woven leather. I just bought the Steve Madden Flats. I wanted a pair of Honey colored shoes that can we worn with White Dresses, Shorts, Boyfriend distressed Jeans and my J. Crew Matchstick White Jeans! : ) Summer is so much fun and l love it. If it were up to me I'd live in hot weather all the time. I bought this dress a while back and it is a very delicate fabric. Bit it's very feminine. Hope you are all having a very nice Summer and are enjoying the last day's we have left of it.

J Crew Sandals

My Cuties
These have been sitting in my closet for a long time.  Haven't had a good  excuse to wear them. They don't look like it but they are heavy. They are really well made I don't know what metal they used but it's really nice and these are gorgeous. I need to wear them before the Summer is over. I have some really simple white Linen Dresses / Skirts and these would look nice. It's been pretty hot here. So, Sandals, Shorts, Tees, And simple clothing is all I want to wear. I am ready for Fall. I am excited that it will soon be here. Hope all of you are ready for it as well. I know some of you have some beautiful Fall / Winter wardrobes. Have a great evening Ladies <3

 I am so ready for this :)

My Fall Home Re Do - New paint Job!

Pottery Barn Shelves

Looking in From Living Room

My go To's

View It's pretty. Cat's love it. ( Not allowed outside )

This is my Dining room. We have been painting our Town Home. The prior color was a really pretty Marigold color. Looked very Autumn. But I got tired of it and painted it a color called "Cream in my Coffee" By Valspar. It is so pretty! I am a big Lover of  Pottery Barn I have many of their pieces These shelves are awesome and I love them. I have two on each side of what used to be a  very old Mantle that was turned into a book case. The 4th picture is Our Dining room table.The last picture is our view. You can see there is a parking lot. but, We have a really pretty view. There are small bushes and a really pretty walkway. We also have an oak tree. You can kind of see it from the last picture. We have all of our meals here. Like today we had a nice breakfast and we got to see birds, Cats or whatever happened to fly or walk through here. People cannot see inside. We have a mirror window tint. You can see inside at night though if your lights are on..I  had it installed because it  keeps out 85% of the heat. Since our Town Home faces West most of the day. And also for privacy. That way we can keep our curtains open during the day. It's a very pretty  here and quiet place to live. Our two cats and my Boxer love their home too!

Next, My jewelry in the very middle are my " go to's " I hate taking all of my stuff out.Not necessary to wear to many pieces all at once. Nice and simple. Less is more is my style. So I keep these close. They sit on a decorative plate on my shelves.At the moment I have the J. Crew Pearls. The J. Crew Chain Necklace, My lovely Starfish Bracelet that I Love! Some Anthro Piece, A Horn Necklace, And I also have a beautiful Crystal necklace that you can barely see. Wear it almost everyday. Don't know by who though. It's so pretty. So, This is where I keep my cute everyday fun jewelry.

You wouldn't think it but this room looked like a tornado hit it earlier this morning. It was a big mess!! We had to move all of our furniture, Take out books, Move the shelves, Cover the rugs. Oh my God! I am tired. Hope you enjoy looking at my dining Re- Do. And get to see a bit of my home. It was fun, Love the way it looks. But this was it for me. I am ready for the fall. Let me know if you have any projects going on. Take care and stop by and say Hello :- )

Wedding Dresses, The Simple and the Feminine and the Classy

1953 - Elegant

1996 - Classic 

Perfect for after wedding outfit

My Style too!

I am wishing!

I am in love with this picture.  These dresses are of course way out of my budget! But aren't they gorgeous?   I remember when  J. F. K. Jr. married  Carolyn  Bessette  she wore the simplest yet prettiest dress. Of course look who she was marrying.  She looked so beautiful. I love the picture of him kissing her hand, So sweet .They look so happy as well. Also a picture of his parents wedding day. The Kennedy's seemed to do this really well. As for me. I am a big romantic. ( big! )  I love the beautiful cream color of  a wedding dress. I am not a real fan of the bright white, But that's just me. I  also think a very simple wedding will work. I have seen so many cute weddings here in blog land. From very Simple to the very Quaint.  I believe that simple and classic is best. I will not be spending a ton of money on my wedding. I think the money should go to a great  long romantic honeymoon. Somewhere where a couple can just be alone and get lost together, My journey still continues and I hope that I will get my dream come true and I will marry the man that I was meant to love forever. 

Target Dresses - Assortment

Target Dresses - Assortment by lepetitdraipiere 


I was visiting the Target Website after snagging me a really pretty Black and Cream version of the 3rd dress. All of these dresses are on my "want" List. The first 2 dresses I would love to wear with my leather boots come Fall. The other dresses are just so girly and pretty. The shoes are all mine and I would style them like this. I know that Target isn't the first pick for some. But I love the clothing they have been coming up with. Hope you all see something you like.
