New Purchases for the Home… a little here, a little there
I don’t like to buy things needlessly {unless they go on my feet ;} and I love repurposing my old furniture and home decor into new rooms and new uses. In fact, I get really excited about it. Kind of like DIYing something new to wear from something that was about to get donated! But …

My New Marc Jacobs Bag…
When the first check for my book arrived, the husband hinted that I should reward myself for all my hard work and buy something with it.

Leopard Points & Patent BowsKate Spade Shoes that are sexy & sweet
I’ll admit that up until now, the Kate Spade brand has always been a little too demure for my taste. Very preppy and very ladylike are not necessarily my A-1-go-to style choices, though I do like to throw them into the mix every now and then for fun. When I saw these gray and black …

Very few of us can afford an Hermès Birkin Bag, or any Hermes bag for that matter …and some, even if they could, wouldn’t spend their savings on one.
