Music Monday & My 1st Giveaway

Happy Halloween Blog Buddies…

I don’t have any tricks but I do have some treats!!!!! J

I hope everyone had a wonderful weekend… As for me I had a BLAST! I actually thought I would have the pictures loaded and ready to share from the Costume Fundraiser. Unfortunately, that is NOT the case… I only have the above pic that I tweeted and loaded on FB the night of the partay. However, I couldn’t go another day w/o posting so this is going to be a really quick post because my car is loaded with blankets, pillows, and snacks… The Fam & I are headed to the Drive-In Movie Theater… to catch Fright Night - we are going to see: Paranormal Activity 3  

OAN: I am really feeling this Beyonce Video! “B” is definitely werrrrk’n it & the colors spells FASHION, STYLE, & CLASS! I have never seen pregnancy look so classy! U betta WERK B!!!!!

SN: I am soooo grateful to have over 100 Blog Buddies!!!!! I started this blog for FUN & just to share my experiences & passion for “Lovely Things” and to introduce my “love for accessories” but it has evolved into so much more. I have even developed some friendships along the way... This BLOG is more than just my BLOG, it’s my life diary, my voice, a platform for me to write & express myself & style… this BLOG has been a movement! I just hope I have & can continue to inspire and share with the blogosphere as you all have been soooo supportive…

Words cannot express how thankful I am so I decided to try and show it by having my 1^st give-a-way… Of course, I will be giving something away from my shoppe but that was wayyyy to predictable.

Tricks OR Treats

 Boo 2 U!!!! I know NOT everyone celebrate Halloween or participate in the festivities and I highly RESPECT that but I must admit I have had my fair share in celebrating… as far as dressing up, throwing parties, and eating the CANDY!!!! Yesss… the candy is by far my FAVORITE part of this creepy holiday! The only thing I don’t do is: Haunted Houses!!!!

Speaking of Haunted Houses… I took my oldest daughter & her friend to Netherworld last week & they were surprised that I stayed in the car and waited for them. 1^st off it was $28 admission – which is straight CRAZY if you ask me… I REFUSE to pay folks to scare me!!!! I just can’t see me playing them kind of games… I will FIGHT A MONSTER, GHOST, VAMPIRE, and/or WITCH that jump out at me so let’s just say it was safe for me NOT to go in the Haunted House!!!!

*** WARNING: Picture Heavy***

While on a hunt for my Halloween costume for this year... I ran across some cool Halloween Accessories. Check out this frightful collection:

Thrifted Fashion Showcase

As I'm getting ready to write this post I check my dashboard to see if any other bloggers are posting this time of morning being that it's 3 am & SURPRISE, SURPRISE there are quite a few that just posted within the past 30min. Soooo... I see I'm not the only one that is NOT sleep! lol

On Saturday, I had the pleasure of attending Thrifted Fashion Showcase at B & R Thrift Store. It was hosted by the lovely Keren & Kerrie. 

If you are not already following their blogs please be sure to check them out as they can make $5 look like a million bucks!!!! These (2) two ladies are definitely the "Queens of Thrifting"!!!!

 I will be the 1st to ADMIT that I don't have a clue about thrifting & can't thrift to save my LIFE!!!!! I need thrifting 101... so you already know I will be keeping these ladies nearby - I need them to school me on thrifting!!!! J

***WARNING: Picture Heavy***

This dress was priced just right for .99cent - I had to snag this pic from Virtuous Styls Facebook wall just so y'all can see the detail on the back of the dress

What I Wore:

Dress - Ross $11.99

Boots - Old

Handbag: Gifted

Boots: Gifted

Accessories: LA Lynn's

***All of the outfits worn at the Fashion Showcase were thrifted items that were for sale***

Ok, by the time you see this post it will probably be around noonish or anywhere around lunch time on Monday because all of a sudden I am getting really sleepy and I want to proof-read this post before hitting the "publish post" button. So, for now... I am crawling back in bed for some more Zzzzzz...

To be continued...

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Ok, it's lunchtime & I'm baaaaack!!!!

First off... before writing anything else I have to thank you for following & taking the time out to actually comment on my blog. Also, to the on-lookers and spectactors I appreciate you too! Special S/O to all my new followers... 3 more followers and it will be giveaway time!!!! "\(*_*)/"

P.S. It's funny that my daughters know how to thrift & I don't... I get so frustrated and end up leaving the store with NOTHING! I am going to try my hand (again) at thrifting and take the time out to actually learn how to thrift. Especially, since I just found out that every Thursday all women's clothing is an additional 50% off and every Friday a certain color tag is only .99 cents (B & R Thrift Store).

Note to You: I was told by I Goodie 2 Shoes that I suffer from Macy's Madness... y'all already know I luvme some Macy's but if you ask me... I think Patience is Virtue when it comes to thrifting!

 

Question: If you are a thrifter... tell me how did you get started and what can you recommend and/or suggest me to do when going thrifting???!!!

Peace, Love, & Fashion
