Look at That Face

Look what I found for Fashionista Friday!

And all while innocently browsing through a store for nothing in particular (looks innocently at the ceiling and whistles). . ..

Anyhoo, while I still couldn’t figure out what critter this was, I think they’re a cool pair of earrings!

So. Any ideas on what kind of outfit it goes with? 🙂

Happy weekend,

Fashionista Friday: The Mother Ship Calleth

I was at a conference recently, in a city that has one of my fave shoe-shopping places. And not one of the tiny versions, but THE MOTHER SHIP.

Fortunately for me, my best shoe-shopping gal pal happened to be at the same conference. Guess what we did at lunch that day? Heh. 🙂

It was a no-brainer, really. I mean, who needed food when the Mother Ship called? She sent invisible, beacon-like signals all morning, like a faraway siren calling us to her. Really, we didn’t have a choice. Never mind that we were both in high heels and had to walk four city blocks to get there. Pfft. A little pain was nothing. I mean, this was the Mother Ship we’re talking about here.

When we got there it was like coming home. *Sigh* Rows upon rows upon rows of shoes. And in really cool styles, too. Top that with the smell of leather the fact that the shoes fit, and it was a wonder either one of us left the store at all!

The best part? We got back to the conference in time to have lunch. But that’s another blog post. . .. 😉

What’s your mother ship?

Happy shopping,

Fashionista Friday: Chunky Colors

I love wandering through shops and scoping out what local artists offer, from pottery to woodworking, to clothing and jewelry. There are some uber talented people out there!

I spotted this necklace when I recently browsed my area’s local Saturday Market: P1170385I love the colors! At first glance they shouldn’t coordinate, but do they ever work!

They reminded me of Sonia Spencer, one of the secondary characters in my debut book, MERGER OF THE HEART. While not exactly her style, these are the sort of color-combos that she’d play with. Her funky personality and wonderfully wacky view of the world totally captured my heart. So much so that I had to write her own story – fingers crossed that my editor will like it, too!

Have you ever spotted a piece of jewelry that you knew would be perfect on someone?
