Cream for the Day!

I haven't posted in a while.  Dealing with family health issues, along with work and studying!  Nonetheless, my dear hubby took these pix with his Samsung Galaxy Note 3, and did a cool treatment on one (note...funny how my feet are missing on two of the shots!)!  California mornings and evenings can be cold, so I always have some sort of wrap, coat, sweater covering on hand (not to mention the air conditioning indoors!).  If you seen my Instagram and Pinterest posts, you'll see I love a good cape, poncho, wrap, etc.!!

As a frequent online shopper, I lot of my clothing comes from HSN, QVC and SHOPNBC
They all offer exclusive designer plus-size lines that aren't available in-store.  Check them out!!

FOR THE LOVE OF LEOPARD!! (CLOSET REMIX)

I have to admit, I love anything leopard, snakeskin, croc or alligator!  Be it on print or the natural skin.

Here's my homage to leopard, thanks to Lady Beverly's leopard love party!

CHERRIES IN THE SNOW!

Well, more like cherries in the California sun!

Did a little closet shopping, and forgot how much I love this jacket from Avenue. Cotton/poly,  zip front, puff sleeve, back pleat trapeze with drawstring collar!  Chevron print black/white palazzo pant from DD's.

Felt a little need for color, hence, the lipstick (Revlon - Cherries in the Snow).  Some classics are worth keeping!

Watch - Michael Kors

Ring and bracelet - Timedesign, LA

CAPE LOVE - RALPH LAUREN F/W 2014

Sometimes you don't realize how much you love something until you see it in a pictorial!  My previous post featured capes and poncho's, and I'm hoping to add something like these to the collection!




I love all things capes, poncho and wraps!  Ralph Lauren F/W 2014 has my eye now!  Enjoy!

FOR THE GOOD TIMES!

My blog is dedicated to the 50+ plus size ladies.  In the late 70's when I started my plus size modelling career (at Chicago's Apparel Mart), we modeled Queens Way poly, front-seam pants. I'm still trying to figure out what the contents of that fabric!  My how times have changed!!  Here's a sneak peek at some oldies for the good times!  Thank you God for the this blessing!!!
