Another Great Bra…! Spanx Demi Push Up- SOOO Cozy…

Bra-llelujah.. sort of corny.. but that is the tag line...

Bra-llelujah.. sort of corny.. but that is the tag line...

My friend Kristina told me about this great bra the other day, I went to Bare Necessities online to order it, received it yesterday, ships from NJ, and put it on immediately, and fell asleep! Ha ha ha.. not that it made me tired, but it was comfortable enough to sleep in! I bought the black one.. It has nice thick straps, and a smooth back. She suggested that I buy one size smaller around the back area, like the 36, 38 part of the size, not the cup size because of all the “give” and stretch associated with it. Good advice! I love this bra! Check it out.. it is $62, you cannot put a price on comfort and great support with a smooth back!

What women want! Say goodbye to VBL (Visible Bra Lines) and hello to comfortable under-wire support. This back-to-front flattering bra gives the “girls” the gift of lift! Featuring a flirtatious sweetheart neckline that’s ideal under lower cut tops, you’ll love your look in this Bra-llelujah style!

  • The perfect bra when you need a lift
  • Hosiery back eliminates back fat as it conforms to your body
  • Naturally-adjusting shoulder straps won’t dig in
  • Front closure and soft cups give an invisible look under anything
  • Wear under lower cut tops and dresses

    Cute Floral Bikini- Why Don’t People Get it.. Floral is Cute, If You Wear it the RIGHT WAY!

    CUTE!

    CUTE!

    I make THE cutest belts, and for some reason some people don’t “GET IT”… A floral doesn’t mean juvenile, think Anthropology, Urban Outfitters, RALPH LAUREN RUGBY, think all of these next time you come to shop at one of my shows! Open your minds girls because a little floral print can be downright feminine, romantic and sexy! Don’t underestimate the floral print.. as shown here.. TOTALLY CUTE, fun and Italiany, Euro-ey, and GREAT! HELLO OUT THERE.. OPEN UP…

    Say La Vie by Jane Zuckerberg, Rebecca Dolber Ring and Nature Girl Belt Today!

    I cannot express to you enough about how craft shows are not about scarecrows, wooden nutcracker figures, and knit toilet paper covers! More people should attend them! It is not easy to find them, but there are sites where you can do searches in your area to find some such as: www.festivalnet.com, www.eventlister.com , www.craftshowlist.com, among many others! I have only been known for my belts with the craft show attendees and the junior league and country club shows, could you imagine if more people knew?! I have hit such a small market and have done well for one girl with a sewing machine!! It is so much fun to make things that others like to buy and wear! It is a high of sorts. Please people, check out SONO Arts, it is a cool festival with a great vibe, lots of creativity and fun.

    So today, I reach into my closet and I grab one cool a$$ shirt that my friend www.shopsaylavie.com -Jane Zuckerberg tye dyed! She has a great company where she uses contemporary brand tees, undies.. brands like Alternative and others my friend Sheri would know about! She dyes them these cool muted colors, not all rainbow and typical and I LOVE THEM. I own 3 of her shirts, and 3 pairs of tye dye undies! She definitely knows what is up. Here is my shirt today, taken this am before I jetted to work. (I look like I am ready to kick some serious a$$ in this pose, right?)

    You can see a hint of my PUKA shell necklace.. which is totally 70s - LOVE IT.

    And then I reach into my drawer for a banging ring, and I pick up www.rebecceadolber.com -Rebecca Dolber’s, THE GROVE STAND, Gold Wire Ring, and pop that on.

    Then I grab my Nature Girl Belt by www.naturegirldesigns.com byRuthie Lopp, zip it in my J Brand Cut off Shorts and I am ready to ROCK BITCHES!

    Totally cool, laid back, led zepp meets Penny Lane, Almost Famous, and sexy. This look feels like me today. If it was a little colder out, I would have put on my Frye Harness Boots with it to complete it all. Instead I have on brown leather wedge sandals with a little bead work, which totally work! Hair down, no makeup.. just chill… Hello Friday. Let’s spark up some Metallica so I can air guitar as I drive and feel cooler than shit in my car alone, bar none…. happiness.

    I Have a Friend Named Ruthie and She Makes Belt Buckles that Shine…Nature Girl Designs

    When you meet Ruthie Lopp, you know it! She is 6 feet tall, platinum blonde and a super soul.  By that I mean creative, inspirational, and

    Ruthie Gurl
    Ruthie Gurl

    full of life! I met her while dining one evening in Wilton. She was at a table next to me with her mom, and husband and I overheard her talking about her new belt company.  I had to intervene and let her know that I also had a belt company and that it was a lot of fun and she would do well and we have kept in touch since then.

    When Ruthie first walked by my table I thought of my best friend who I lost to breast cancer in 2005. She was also 6 feet tall, blonde and beautiful. I said to my dinner companion, “She reminds me so much of Karen.” and the rest is history. I would like to introduce you to Ruthie Lopp, a talented belt buckle artisan who is also my friend!

    Her web site is www.naturegirldesigns.comand she is now a Rowaytonite and makes some earthy and fun buckles! Colorful, like my belt prints, but more chunky, funky belt buckle than printy, fun total belt, which is what I do. Check her out!
