How I Wear MY PEACE of jewelry - to the beach

Image
Living close to the beach (15 blocks), I have the opportunity to go often. Here, I am at the Marina - Marina Del Rey area. Venice Beach and Santa Monica are next door.   Wearing my favorite printed jeans - again. I've worn them quite a lot this summer. Soon, I won't be able to wear because the print is too loud for Fall.   As for MY PEACE of jewelry I wore one of REMIND-HOW-TO-LIVE-LIFE-CUFFS   "let go of the outcome" For me this means, I do what I want to do not expecting a certain return, such as other people's validation. If I want to wear what other's think is ugly and they even voice that it's ugly. I need to realize, I am wearing it for me, it's not to please that other person, it's because it pleases me. Listen to your inner voice and ignore other's. When you let go of the outcome, you find your true friends who like you for you I need to make more cuffs. I sold most of the...

Tread Alert - Brogue Fever

Image
Just browsing the internet for the latest trend and Brogues caught my eye. I am in search for covered shoes since we are headed into Fall.   I can't wear sandals all year round.   I need to start eyeing shoes that cover my toes. That is when I came across these. I love them! I even have a pair, but I did not know they were called Brogues. I always referred to them as Wingtips. But a wingtips ARE BROGUEs The Brogue is a style of low-heeled shoe or boot traditionally characterized by multiple-piece, sturdy leather uppers with decorative perforations (or "broguing") and serration along the pieces' visible edges and found in one of four toe cap styles (full or "wingtip", semi-, quarter and longwing) and four closure styles oxford, derby, ghillie and monk.   I would love to have all of these but come on $800 for some shoes!?! It ain't going to happen. So, I selected the unreasonable to the reasonable priced Brogu...

How I Wear MY PEACE of jewelry - HOT!

Image
It's been pretty hot in Southern California. Hot and humid. Even though it's hot, you can't hide inside. Errands must be done, which involves moving my buns from point A to B. Over the weekend, I went to Alpine Village in Torrance. Alpine Village is little piece of Germany transplanted into sunny Southern California. There's a grocery store featuring German meats and products. There's a restaurant featuring German food. And of course the beer. Alpine Village has this huge OKTOBERFEST every year. This year its September 7 - October 27, 2012. I did not go there for anything German. There is also a swap meet at the location. I was looking for a tool on the cheap. Even though Alpine Village has nothing to do with how I Wear MY PEACE of jewelry, I thought you'd like to hear about it.   As for how I dress when it's HOT. I recommend LIGHT, AIRY and LOOSE Linen shorts  - old cotton tank - Sear's sand...

Project Runway is back!

Image
If you are a fan of Project Runway, like me then you've obviously been watching the current season. This season seems pretty catty with some "spoiled" attitude some of the designers have. But there is one RAY OF LIGHT in the crowd. Sonjia (pronounce Son-gee). She's polite, upbeat and an awesome designer. I came across her blog Haute and Low Even though she has not posted in a while (probably she's busy with Project Runway), the postings that are there now shows that she is not only a fantastic designer but a fantastic dresser.
