You Might be a Preppy Lady

...If your beverage containers and beverage container adornments match your outfits or party themes!

It's no secret that I love to be all matchy-matchy! So, I simply must match my koozies and glassware to my outfits and my party themes.

This is my latest acquisition...the Red Solo Cup koozie! Monogrammed, of course.

I'll be wearing a lot of orange this Spring and Summer and this adorable orange koozie has a monogrammed grosgrain ribbon. Perfect! Can't wait to use this one.

Here's some pink and green cuties...these are my standbys!
Of course, my Lilly 'Frisky Business' bottle koozie coordinates with my Lilly 'Later Gator' lunch tote.
Wearing pink and green and holding my Lilly 'Hibiscus' thermal mug full of coffee...
A cute monogrammed koozie covered in the Lilly 'Summer Fling' pattern...
The 'Summer Fling' coozie is a must to use when I wear this Lilly 'Summer Fling' shift

"Weekend Waterford" styrofoam cups...I use these all the time, just because!
Monogrammed wine goblets. I like to buy acrylic wine goblets from Walmart or wherever and add the decals to coordinate with my table decor...
"Coastal Crystal" styrofoam cups...living in South Florida, these are very popular at social gatherings!
I served iced tea in blue tumblers at this luncheon on the porch, but served the cocktails in the "Coastal Crystal" cups above...

I'm constantly looking for cute beverage accessories to match up with my outfits or themes. And...I have been known to create a theme around a , koozie, cup, or goblet!

Miss Janice's Weekend

Whew! I'm relaxing this morning after a busy weekend! Before I let y'all in on my goings-on, I first want to give you an update on my good friend Jan Taylor. If you are a long-time reader of my blog, you might remember that Jan was diagnosed with Stage 4 Liver Cancer this past January. Many prayers have been lifted up for Jan and her family. I'm happy to report that Jan is now in complete remission!!!!! If you live in the Tampa area, you may have heard Jan celebrating on Friday night...doing a very happy dance. I said a special prayer of thanks to God yesterday at church for this blessing and hope that y'all will join me and continue to pray for Jan! All I can say is "Praise God from whom all blessings flow!"

Yes, I've had a very busy and productive weekend. I kicked off my weekend a little late on Friday, due to the fact that I stayed up the previous night watching Big Brother After Dark until 3 A.M. Whoa! I'm beyond the years of staying up that late y'all, but I get so into that show and the lives of all the houseguests!!! So Friday, I ran errands, shopped at HomeGoods and picked up some cute Halloween stuff, and then had lunch at The Cracker Barrel. (picked up some cute Christmas stuff at The Cracker Barrel--yep, they have Christmas loot out now!)

"Here's What I Wore" The pink gingham skort (with precious white ric-rac trim) is by Lilly as is the pink tee shirt. I wore my white Lilly mules and carried a white Bermuda Bag pocketbook. I wore my pearl necklace, pearl stud earrings, and my 'Oyster Perpetual' Rolex watch. My ponytail was adorned with a white grosgrain ribbon bow and I used my white iPhone cover with the pink monogram decal.

That same day, Miss Coco took a car trip to the drive-thru at Wachovia. Since she always likes to look her best ('cuz people do talk), she wore a pink bandanna with ric-rac trim...just like the trim on mama's skirt and monogrammed, of course! This is another darling bandanna customized for Coco by LWhelanDesigns. Coco's top knot is adorned with a pink and green ribbon bow.

Saturday, I organized my office closet and all my gifting supplies. That took all day!!! I finished the day with a great workout at the gym and spent a fun-filled Saturday evening ironing! Oh, the life I lead.

Sunday, I was up early and off to church. "Here's What I Wore" The lime green linen shift is perfect for church (I bought this from Appleseed's years ago). I wore my black ballet flats, which are adorned with pearls...I love these shoes! They are by Cochni. I carried my black Chanel '2.55' pocketbook with the silver hardware and wore my pearl necklace and pearl stud earrings. My ponytail was adorned with a black and white gingham ribbon bow. My iPhone cover (my iPhone was of course in the manners mode during church) was black with a white monogram decal. My perfume of choice was 'Coco Mademoiselle', by Chanel and my lipstick was 'Laser Pink', by Chanel. After church I lunched at The Cracker Barrel--again, and did some more Christmas shopping!

My Bookclub group went on the road Sunday afternoon...to see Eat, Pray, Love! "Here's What I Wore" If you have been following my blog for awhile, you must know that I love these coveralls by Lilly in the 'Chilean Avenue' pattern. I wore a pink Ralph Lauren oxford shirt underneath...'cuz it's always so cold in theatres. Since summer is quickly coming to an end, I wanted to wear my pink and green monogrammed Bonnano sandals and carry my pink Lilly Bermuda Bag, monogrammed in white. I wore my light green Lilly cap and a pink grosgrain ribbon bow adorned my ponytail.

I must tell you that I did not LOVE Eat, Pray, Love. I thought it was incredibly boring! That's just my opinion. :-( I did enjoy my must-have buttered popcorn and diet coke!!!

Now, Miss Coco didn't get to go to the theatre, but she did get to go the park for walk and to be seen. "Here's What She Wore" Her bandanna is the 'Chilean Avenue' Lilly print...just like mama's coveralls. She is wearing a pink collar and her leash is of course pink. Her topknot is adorned with a pink barrette. Trust me y'all...she loves to get dressed up!!!

I came home after the movie for just a bit, then headed out the door again for our Bookclub meeting (well, cocktail social hour is more like it!) "Here's What I Wore" The 'Nantucket Patch' Krista dress is by Lilly and I just love it for summertime. I wore my white summer Land's End cardigan as a sweater throw and wore my white Jack Rogers Sandals.

All the girls in the Flamingo Ladies Bookclub have personalized goblets...so, of course I took mine. The hostess with the mostest, Stacey, had a great spread of hors d' oeuvres, wine offerings, and a "Signature Beverage" of Blackberry Wine & Champagne.

I carried a flamingo-theme treat as a hostess gift for Stacey. I found this cute little pink flamingo dish at HomeGoods, I think...

Filled it with Key Lime Straws (which I had tons of 'em left from last week's dinner party)...

Wrapped it in cello, tied it up with a lime green polka dot ribbon, and attached a pink flamingo decal! Mama always says, "Don't show up at someone's door empty-handed!"

So now, I must get busy and answer some e-mails. Thank you so much for visiting with me today and I hope you have a wonderful week!!!

Millionaire's Row

The other day I was minding my own business, and tweetin' away on Twitter. Up pops a tweet from Lynn Whelan who has an Etsy store LWhelanDesigns. She's tweetin' about these new bottle covers that she made and attached a 'twitpic' to her tweet. Here's what she made!!! I liketa died when I saw it! How cute is this bottle cover??? She used the Lilly 'Millionaire's Row' fabric to make it and embellished it with lime green petite pom fringe. The reverse side is pink and white dots!!! Of course, I simply had to have it 'cuz I have the perfect outfit to coordinate with it!

Love this little bottle cover!!!

So, I asked to if she could make a bandanna using the same fabric for Mlle. Coco Chanel and here's what she made y'all! She used the Lilly 'Millionaire's Row' fabric and added the pink polka dot trim. I totally love it! (Sorry , I grabbed the photo from Lynn's site and it is so petite.)
Miss Coco is modeling her new bandanna...she says "Merci Beaucoup, Miss Lynn!"

So I'm off to the movies and Miss Coco is off to the beauty shop. "HERE'S WHAT WE'RE WEARING." The denim jacket by Molly B has the polka dot trim to coordinate with Miss Coco's polka dots. I'm wearing a white tee from Target and a pair of capris in the 'Millionaire's Row' print by Lilly.

My pink mules are by Lilly and my ponytail will adorned with a hot pink grosgrain ribbon bow. My jewelry...'Oyster Perpetual' watch by Rolex, rollring wedding band by Cartier, silver monogrammed earrings and ring, and a silver monogrammed choker necklace. My lipstick is 'Laser Pink' by Chanel and my fragrance of choice is 'Wink' by Lilly. Of course I will have my water bottle with the precious LWhelanDesigns bottle wrap and Miss Coco will wear her 'Millionaire's Row' bandanna.

Acting like a couple of Millionaires!!! We are ready for some fun today!

Miss Coco loves to be pampered, just like her mama!

I hope y'all have a wonderful day and thank you for visiting with me.
