Wordless Wednesday... Happy Halloween!

This will probably go down in history as being one of the 1^st of many Halloweens that I didn’t take part in the festivities.

I didn’t even manage to decorate my house for the Halloween Season as I normally do. But I did simply-tize (My Word) my front door with a Wreath and Pablo my Famous Scarecrow!

Petey the Wreath

Pablo my FAMOUS Scarecrow has been with us for YEARS!

Here's a pic of Hubby & I from last year... YES, we were the "Gangsta Couple" 

To see more pic's from last year click: HERE 

 

I enjoyed last night as we watched a scary movie: The Grudge & My Baby Girl & I made Gooey Worm Cupcakes & Spook-tacular Sandwiches for her Art Class!!!!

As of now still NO PLANS other than having an official "Scary Family Movie Night" by making a fort on the living room floor, eating popcorn, and watching horror flicks all while sipping on some Vampire Juice!!!! ~wink

This is me today... I'm NOT the best at SELF-PORTRAITS *SLEEPY FACE*

Do you have any PLANS?

SN: I do have plenty of candy to give out so I’m hoping for some little TRICK-OR-TREATERS!!!!

Note to You: Happy Halloween to those that celebrate… Hopefully, you will get more TREATS and NO TRICKS!!!! But whatever you do please be SAFE!!!!  

~ Until next time

Me last year during BC Awareness Vending for a Cure!

I highly support Breast Cancer Awareness to the fullest by wearing my BC Gear, I try to participate in walks, give donations, and 10% of all my accessory sales to Susan G. Komen

My Look this year... Fighting for a CURE! 

At any rate, I’m sure at some point we all have been affected one way or another by the “BIG C”… It may have been a family member, friend, or a friend of a friend but I’m sure we have heard stories of how Breast Cancer can affect US!

If you need a REMINDER... GUESS WHAT? They have MEN an APP  for that!!!!  Yup, their are bare chested MEN on the app that remind ladies to show themselves TLC: Touch, Look, Check!

***Check out the quick Man Reminder App Video***

The MAN Reminder App can be downloaded to your cell phone and you can schedule weekly or monthly reminders

Just because October is ending doesn't mean the support and taking care of yourself has to END!!!! Continue to put your health 1st!!!!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Sending my heartfelt prayers and thoughts to everyone that may have been affected by Storm Sandy!!!!!

Note to You: It's OK to touch your boobies so if you haven't touched your boobies...

MANICure MONDAY

 Okkkk, y'all already know I have a fetish for "Finger Nail Polish" and "Glam Nail Art". Soooo... when Mimi of Lipgloss and Binky reached out to me about linking up with her and hosting MANICure Monday I was stoked!!!! 

>>> Insert Happy Dance <<< 

Although, my nail polish collection isn't near as BIG as Mimi of Lipgloss and Binky (PUN INTENDED) lol I still get a KICK out of having "GLAM NAILS" and trying new Mani's.  

Most of my Nail Inspiration come from none other than Pinterest! To be honest that's really like my #1 reason for having a Pinterest Account. ^_^

Pinterest Inspiration 

Since I have been focus mostly on "PINK" this month due to Breast Cancer Awareness I decided to go with a "Halloween" Theme Color Nails  

China Glaze: "Sun Worshipper" & "Orange you Hot" (Neon) and OPI: White  

I opted to just put the "art" on my ring finger on each hand w/ a regular  french white mani

What are your thoughts on my Mani? 

Trick-OR-Treat?!?! 

MANICure Monday is a weekly nail polish/mani link-up that will be rotated between Lipgloss and Binky and yours truly: LA Lynn's 



The linky will be open for an entire week... So go ahead show us your Mani!!!!  

Note to You: This is a GREAT way to meet new "blog buddies" so grab our badge  & join the "Polish Party" by simply linking up with us and showing off your manicure. Remember... we will host "Manicure Monday" weekly so feel free to jump right in & join the FUN!!!!

Thrifted Thursday... OOTD!

Ok, like seriously somebody should have told me long time ago how much money I could have been saving thrifting! HA!

I mean really I NEVER thought in a million years that I would’ve thrift shopped & now I can't seem to STOP!!!! Sadly though I can’t even believe I actually was sleeping on the Thrift Store… Thank God for my Thrifting Bloggies for hipping me to this new trend (well new to me)! I know some of y’all are PRO’s while others of us are AMATEURS!!!!

As for me, I’m still learning the thrifting game but I’m playing to WIN so I don’t see myself dropping the ball anytime soon!

Besides, it’s sooo much fun going on a thrifting treasure hunt; you NEVER know what you may find!!!!

~Check out one of my latest thrifted dresses that I paid a whopping $1.12!!!!!

I accessorized with PINK in honor of Breast Cancer Awareness… *hence, Pink Ribbon on my shoulder* 

Hmmm… I’m not sure if folks still wear shoulder pads in their clothes but I left the pads in to add a little DRESS DRAMA! I’'s ok to have a little DRAMA in your life every now and then! *giggles*

What I'm Wearing:

Cobalt Blue Dress ~ America's Thrift~$1.12

Shoes ~ Burlington ~ $9.99

Accessories ~ LA Lynn’s excluding MK's Watch & Tennis Bracelet (Gifted)

Note to You: I tell folks all the time… If you are new to thrifting you might want to pack some patience, some hand sanitizer, and have a BUDGET!!!! Yesssss, a BUDGET because you will be so SURPRISE at the prices that it’s easy to find yourself over spending!  

~Until next time…

Lucky 7... OOTD!

As mention in my post on yesterday… I wanted to give you all a closer look at my $7 Outfit ~ yessss… you READ that right $7 Outfit!!!! I'm TOTALLY calling it my Lucky 7!!!!

Google Image

Ok, so where do I start… Once upon a time  No seriously, though Hubby & I was leaving his doctor’s office and made the decision to stop by Stein Mart  being that there is not one near where we live.  

As ALWAYS we both said: We just gone look!!!! But low and behold I spotted the clearance rack and that was all she wrote!!!! While, browsing the clearance racks this nice lady (My guardian Angel) gave my husband a scratch-off coupon. So, we had no clue how much the coupon was for until we got to the register. As we are checking out the cashier scratched the coupon and SWEET BABY JESUSSSSS… It was for 70% off the total purchase!!!!!  

>>>>insert happy dance<<<<

Ok, so I don’t normally post thesessss many pic’s of my outfit but all these pics were taken with my new Samsung Galaxy III (ok, I’m lying) it’s actually the Samsung Galaxy II *shrugs* BUT heyyyyy the pic’s came out really well being that it was a rather foggy morning!

What I Wore:

Floral Shirt & Color Capris ~ Stein Mart $6.94

Shoes ~ Heavenly Soles

Clutch ~ Gifted

Accessories ~ LA Lynn’s

 

Yup, it felt like I HIT THE LOTTERY… hence, the name of my post!

Have you ever scored a deal so sweet that you felt like you hit the LOTTO????!!!!!

Note to You: If you have NEVER shopped at Stein Mart  I highly recommend you go… Now is the time to shop those clearance racks ~ STOCK-UP for next Summer!!!!! And, to our dearest coupon Angel I just want to say where ever you are you blessed my husband & I in a major way… It may have been small to you but it was BIG to us and we will pay it forward!!!!  

~Until next time…

Peace, Love, & Fashion
