I just want to EAT THESE! THEY ARE SO GORGE.. and colorful! Oliver Green D Ring Belts!!
This is the story of me and my belt company oliver green… I, personally, hand make every single belt I sell and it takes up so much of my time and it can be tedious work, although somewhat zen like because of the repetition.. but it really is A LOT of work! I think to myself every February.. CAN I REALLY DO THIS AGAIN this YEAR? Do I have it in me? I have so many interests, and there are not enough hours in the day to accomplish everything I want..EVER.. and I have to pick and choose and that SUCKS.. I want to do EVERYTHING I am thinking about EVERY DAY. Balance is the key here, and I have a difficult time striking it… I want to write (blog), sew, make cool and helpful videos ( I promise, I will get better at that..) and go to the gym, and work for my pay.. spend time with my dog, and have a social life with friends. How do I do that? If anyone knows.. feel free to educate me. Perhaps I will figure it out and write a book about it someday. We all must work to get our paycheck.. and if our work isn’t truly passion driven, you must incorporate hobbies that are in order to pay creedence to your soul’s path. I do love where I work.. both places.. I also love my hobbies and my belts!
So.. here are some belts I prepped this week and when I see them all together laying there all DELICIOUS LIKE..I think HOW CAN I NOT DO THIS!!?? I LOVE LOOKING AT THEM!! And people love wearing them!!! I do too… So, YEAH, I guess I will be back out there AGAIN, doing my thang.. sewing… and selling… on TOP OF EVERYTHING ELSE!!!! Give me strength!
When I think of knee socks, I think of the 80s and this woman who ran The Steuben Club downtown Albany… I can’t recall her name, but she was stylish, and well beyond 40 years old, and regularly wore knee sox with bermuda shorts and loafers to work! She was gorgeous… so.. whenever I see a cool knee sock.. I think of her… These are super cute.. they call them a boot sock and I am guessing because they show over the top of your boot, like an inside leg warmer.. over leggings, under boots… Skulls have become very mainstream and that makes me sort of love/hate them.. because I do loathe trends.. but I like the rocker appeal… I have always been a fan of mixing preppy with rock.. and have confused a great many people in my life as a result.. Is SHE PREPPY or ROCKER?
Scoop Neck Coobie, only $20
For us fuller busted women, it can be extremely difficult to find a comfortable bra and I have posted about this more than once. It is totally an issue as under wires can hurt, back fat can be unattractive, even though it may only be BACK SKIN showing.. but all these things and more, need to be taken into consideration.
I am RAVING about this COOBIE.. I have the Coobie V Neck on today, and they are one size fits all! Being a 36 D typically.. I find this bra to be comfortable, great fitting, and smoothing. No Back ripples, adequate support and a non claustrophobic element. I love it! I am unsure if someone bigger than myself will have the same experience, but certainly smaller busted women will enjoy it as well. Go here to get your very own Coobie: http://bit.ly/COOBIEBRA
This is my very first Video Blog.. I didn’t want to over think, over plan, and over prepare… I thought to jump in, do it, get it done, since I told about 6 people I was going to start video blogging.. I HAD TO DO IT… I don’t prefer to be thought of as “hot air.” I am a doer, and that is how I live, breathe and operate. While it isn’t perfect, it was fun, challenging to step outside my comfort zone and go it alone. I hope you enjoy it… I will improve with practice and hope to entertain, inform, and impart wisely, responsibly… responsibly within my world of reasoning, which can be drastically different than the norm… my gift to you is direct, without pretense… me..

Everyone who knows me knows that I love to wear “humorous” clothing, when I can… Life is too short to be so serious all the time, although I do have my serious moments being a Capricorn and all, but we Caps are also known for our dry wit and humor… although these are more “in your face” silly.. they are totally me! Of course, I would have to wear them with black leggings and maybe a long grey top or something because they would need to be highlighted as a great statement. One would have to be cautionary when donning these cartoonish boots, and keep it simple, otherwise the statement could be sadly misconstrued as tacky and cheap… OR.. wait a minute, you could be tacky ON PURPOSE with them in a punk rock sort of way… YOUR CHOICE.. but either way, they are bad a$$ Crazy Fun Silly and THAT IS THE WAY LIFE IS SUPPOSED TO BE!
Cotton Argyle Printed Boyshorts with Glitter Hearts
I happened across this brand while looking around a cool mod retro indie clothing site… god knows I love me some retro baller wear! Who knows why… I am not a Rollerderby Girl, I am not a Rockabilly Girl, I am not a Suicide Girl, but I love the fact that these types of women are out there and god bless them because they make the world a much more interesting place! I appreciate anyone who is extreme in appearance because I typically don’t have the “guts” to do it… Although, I can hold my own and be subtle in my style.. enough to separate me enmasse… with out trying.. so.. back to this lingerie/underwear line… I like it, it looks comfortable but cute at the same time… essential for me… Check them out: http://www.honeydewintimates.com/
Style "CORFU"
If you are more of a hip minimalist with your look and style; or even someone who appreciates good quality, weighted, and sturdy jewelry, you will love YARA!
My pal, Randi Levine, and I favor the same sort of “look” which is comprised of rather simple attire rocked to the nines with bad a$$ accessories, to make it our own. We are not fans of the big floral print “old lady” “blouses” with the GIANT handbags, and “over-sold” sort of costume-like fashion-slave look. I actually am quite embarrassed to wear anything deemed “trendy” by enmasse.. I will, however, purchase one to two pieces of trend per season, but bury them in my look or make it my own. We prefer to punch it home with some oddly coupled accessories, great quality, AMERICANA, Classic, yet somehow we make it trendy style. Simple, Sexy, American, and maybe a little tomboy, but SUPER feminine, if that makes sense.. Now that I have that story out of the way… YOU HAVE GOT TO CHECK OUT THIS JEWELRY LINE! Talk about layering pieces and most importantly, they are TIMELESS.. not utterly trendy so they won’t be passe come spring time, or EVER. This style will endure, like a beautiful Cashmere Ralph Lauren sweater, or a great trench coat… NECESSARY and long living, and lasting! That is why the price should not deter you, even though the price is not EXPENSIVE…. This jewelry is weighted, but not heavy to wear…. significant and makes a statement, therefore, wearable for many years to come. This jewelry is so impressive that THEORY, the brand that we all love for it’s fit and elegant simplicity chose to sell them… !! Paula constructs each piece herself, and I appreciate that work and dedication, as I make all the belts I sell. This jewelry can be carried by a man as well… trust me, the earthy, LA, or NYC man who is confident, with a sense of style… a few select pieces…
"Nickel Floating Cube"
What is awesome about the Floating Nickel Cube piece is that it is literally 4 in 1! you can wear it layered on your wrist with the cuff above as a bracelet, or you can wear it as a super long necklace, or doubled as a necklace, or tripled as a necklace/choker…
My friend, Paula Lapkin, is the designer behind Yära jewelry, an exciting new company based in New York. Yära jewelry offers a modern collection of jewelry that adds an effortlessly cool, edgy look to any outfit.
Layering is what it is all about here.... HOT!
Yära means Queen of the Sea and was the name of her family’s first sailboat. Paula’s love of the ocean and natural elements plays a strong influence in her designs and her choice of materials. Using natural Greek leather and hand-made Greek beads, Paula creates distinct, beautiful pieces. Following an atypical path into the jewelry business, Paula first studied art history, then dabbled as an interior designer before focusing on her true love – jewelry. Paula’s designs are classic, chic and very modern. Paula’s ability to mix different materials, shapes and techniques creates a collection that is simple but says so much. All of her jewelry is hand-made of the highest quality. There is a reason that Paula is one of the hottest new designers. Everything just clicks – the materials, craftsmanship and designs are second to none. As good as these pieces look in the pictures, they look and feel twice as good in person. Try one, and we assure you that you will be back for more.
