Bluetooth Stocking Cap

This hat is so cute, and useful! I wear beanies a lot during the colder months of the year, so I thought this was especially cool when I saw that it can play music, too! I have a large head, so I also pleased to find that the fit is very good, and comfortable, not too tight. The neutral color is going to work with so many of my fall and winter outfits. I like how the hat has an extra lining inside, so it really does keep you extra warm, too.

Black and Silver Sweater Set

I found this vintage sweater set at a  Los Angeles county thrift store.  I love finding unique pieces like this!  It's why I think I'll always continue to thrift shop, even though I already have way too many clothes!  I am starting to take note of clothing items I buy, and intend to get rid of each month.   I am hoping that items out versus in is going to be greater from now on...so far, so good!

Beige Suede Coat

Would you believe I found this real suede coat for just under $3.00?!
 Finds like that are why I love shopping at thrift stores.  This coat looks like brand new, and it is so warm. It has a faux shearling lining.

The boots are also thrifted, and my striped sweater dress was about $3.00 from Roses.

Blue Velvet Tunic

I really love the look of blue velvet.  These velour leggings are so comfortable, too!  I found these at Walmart, but I am liking some higher-end ones, below.

Humpback Bridge Covington, Virginia

Vaughan and I are currently in Myrtle Beach celebrating out "meeting" anniversary, but I wanted to share these photos from our trip to Humpback Bridge in Covington, Virginia.

I have always wanted to visit a covered bridge, but this was my first time doing it!  I didn't even know there were any in Virginia, let alone one as awesome as this one!  I totally suggest checking it out if you are anywhere in the area.  It is especially beautiful in the fall, which is when Vaughan and I went to see it.

There is a picnic area, and a decent sized parking lot beside the bride.  The only thing I wish they also had at the park are toilets.  There is nowhere to go to the restroom, which is inconvenient if you have been traveling to get there for a long time.

Brown Fur Vest

        I love how soft this faux fur vest is.  I found this, along with my top and boots at Goodwill.  The necklace was just $1.00 at a different thrift store.  The suede skirt is something I have had in my wardrobe for years.

Plaid Motorcycle Jacket

This plaid motorcycle jacket is something I found at a Goodwill in Los Angeles a few years ago.  I love that it's a different take on the motorcycle style jacket.  It's thick, warm, and very cute.  I paired it with this adorable red sweater with a silver bow on the front.

Grey Corset Dress

The fabric of this dress is thick, and feels like a great quality. This dress does not seem cheaply made at all, and I think it will hold up very well. I ordered a size small, and the fit is too loose in the bust, and a little snug in the hips, but I still think it looks good on. The bust is so loose on me, I need to use straps with the dress to hold it up. There are "hooks" on the dress so it's easy to slip your on removable straps in place.  Overall, this dress is very well made, you just need to pay close attention to the measurements and be willing to work with it.

Green Brocade Jacket

I have had this green brocade jacket for years.  It's one of the items I left behind in Virginia after moving away, and wore again once we moved back over a year ago.

I gained a whole "new" wardrobe again when we came back!  I have so many clothes now, too.  Clothes from all the different places I have lived.

How many clothing items do you have?

Gamiss Valentines Day Promotion



Gamiss Valentines Day Promotion


Good day babes! February is almost here and what does it mean?  14TH is Valentine’s Day!!! Yessss! I really love all Valentine decoration in shops and every place, restaurants and pubs, also turn extremely beautiful. One of the most asked questions for this special date is what are you going to wear. Don’t worry, you could find in this article a guidebook to a trendy and fashion Valentine’s Day based on Gamiss valentines day 2018 incredible promotions, that you can find  here:  https://www.gamiss.com/promotion-valentine-sale-special-68/ . This guide is going to be focused on three different Valentine’s plans so you can find the perfect look for every occasion:

1.   Special collocation date:
There’s a theory that wearing these colors, most especially black  and red, makes one looks more sexually attractive. Men and women in red or near red and black are perceived by women as having higher status than men who aren't wearing or near red. You are going to have a very romantic date with your boyfriend.

I suggest you wear a piece of item that is in or have the color black This color isn’t only flattering on any skin tone but also symbolizes confidence with this black Line Scoop Neck Dress: https://www.gamiss.com/casual-dresses-342/product913881/?lkid=84078 with a red Small Square Bag Mini Chain Bag: https://www.gamiss.com/crossbody-bags-11167/product1391282/?lkid=84078
Outfit: Pumps: https://www.gamiss.com/pumps-260/product1407414/?lkid=84078
Necklace: https://www.gamiss.com/necklaces-161/product1238/?lkid=84078
Lips: https://www.gamiss.com/lips-11418/product1421455/?lkid=84078



2. Sisters and Valentines:

Valentine’s day is the perfect day to meet your sister and go to lunch with a two pieces outfit, one for you, polka dot crop top and circle skirt: https://www.zaful.com/padded-polka-dot-crop-top-and-circle-skirt-p_282674.html?lkid=84078 and another for your sister, faux pearls scalloped top and bodycon skirt:  https://www.zaful.com/faux-pearls-scalloped-top-and-bodycon-skirt-set-p_495543.html?lkid=84078


3.  Single special party:
And to end this guide, a good option is to go out with your friends!!!
If you’re single or in a budding relationship or in a relationship that has just started and/or if wearing red or Black on Valentine’s Day is just too much for you, the next best option is wearing pink or any piece of clothing with a touch of pink. Brighter pinks are youthful, fun, and exciting, while vibrant pinks have the same high energy as red; they are sensual and passionate without being too aggressive. Toning down the passion of red with the purity of white results in the softer pinks that are associated with romance and the blush of a young woman's cheeks.

Grey Cashmere Sweater

I really love this grey cashmere sweater I found at Goodwill.  It fits me perfectly, and it's so soft and comfortable.  It also goes with so many things.  A sweater like this is such a great wardrobe staple.

I found this black skirt at Goodwill for just $1.00.  It's adorable, and I like that is works great for tucking tops into.

My marble bead necklace was just $1.00 at a thrift store, too!

Rosegal Valentine's Day Gifts 2018



Rosegal Valentine's Day Gifts 2018
It’s soon Valentine’s day, and it’s a special day for many. Some of you might go for a romantic date or spend time with your boyfriend or girlfriend. But there are many people who are not going on a date or have a boyfriend or girlfriend, who must find other ways to spend the day. For instance, the girls can arrange a sleepover party while the guys can arrange a bachelor party. But whatever you plan on Valentine’s day. There might be some of you who don’t know what to wear on that day. To help you along the way, we decided to write a Valentine’s Day outfit guidebook, where you can get inspiration and advice on what you can wear on that day. We decided to divide it into three parts: 1. outfit for dating for boyfriends, 2. Sisters installed outfits, 3. Outfit for bachelor party. We hope that this Valentine’s Day guidebook is helpful, and we wish everyone to have wonderful and great Valentine’s day filled with love and happiness. 

1.Outfits for dating for boyfriends
We picked out these dresses which you can wear for a date. They are very romantic. It’s important to wear a dress which is comfortable and which you feel confident in. We think that colors like Red or Black are perfect colors to wear for Valentine’s day. Red is associated with romance while black is associated with something mysterious. For accessories you can for instance wear earrings and necklaces with pearls or diamond details. Just dress to impress, keep it simple with not too many details and let your personality shine through.

2. Sister installed outfits:
We picked out these sister installed outfits. If you don’t have a boyfriend, not found a date and all your friends are other plans. If you are lucky to have a sister, who doesn’t have plans on that day. You can make plans together! For instance, go shopping together, making cupcakes, watch a movie or go to a party. It would be a lot of fun if you wore matching dresses in different colors.

3. Outfits for bachelor party:
We picked out these outfits to wear for a bachelor party. It’s supposed to be a fun occasion, and a great opportunity to dress up a little. At this party, there are single men and women. This is a good opportunity for you who are still single. So you have to dress yourself. Make yourself look more attractive. A great suit would go well.
