Black Friday

This morning I sit here wishing

I was able to head to the states

and shop til I drop

but I sit here in my pj's

planning my last vacation day of the year

I have a date this afternoon

with two lovely ladies

taken summer 2010

of course my date is with

Kat & Sam

we are heading out after school

for our annual Christmas shopping trip

maybe we will buy something black

to celebrate Black Friday!

Tonight we are off to the local brew pub

for a retirement party

then tomorrow I am going to start to 

"deck the halls"

I made it to the store

and my quilt was still there

yeah!!!

Once I get the bedroom all put together 

I will take some shots and post them.

the winner of the bracelet is:

Email me!

Have a fabulous week-end everyone!

Pink & Black

In honor of the middle of the week
I thought I needed some eye candy
something that would bring a smile
to me and I hope to you too...

I have always loved pink & black together

and no one does it better than Chanel

Jackie just pulled this off
hit it out of the park

maybe we could hang this in the boudoir

polka dot delight

maybe a few ruffles

a little 80's preppy argyle

can you get the phone?

all lined up and ready to be worn

sweet sweet

I absolutely love this one

with these Chanel shoes

this one would work too
if I had that body to put in it...

there is no black in this photo
but these sweet little treats are filled with chocolate
a Christmas tradition in our house

can you say killer shoes?

did someone say cake?


very retro

Basic Black

There is nothing like a
black tie affair
getting all dolled up
in your finery
and dancing the night away


First you need the perfect dress

I am loving this one

Jennifer Garner is lovely here

Hillary Swank always looks gorgeous

Katherine Heigl ~ simply stunning

Katherine Hepburn ~ beautiful lady
Now for shoes
these will work nicely

maybe some black pearls

a horseshoe for luck
black diamonds shall do nicely

Now for an escort
How about...

a gentleman?
Richard Gere can rock a uniform

as well as a tuxedo

McDreamy does black rather nicely
The ever handsome Patrick Dempsey

don't forget your credit card
you may need it at the bar

and look ~ they have these too

loving the black cherries

and in the morning a sweet message
5 words that mean the world
