Entertaining...Again!!!

A couple of days ago my BFF Teresa Jane called to say that her husband J.D. was coming to our home for a visit before attending a conference in the area. Well, Miss Coco about had a hissy fit this morning! I explained to her that we needed to get her up and dressed, 'cuz more company was coming!!! She looked at me like I was crazy. Between hair appointments and exhausted from being on her best behavior with recent guests, she been prissin' around all day in a tizzy! We finally settled on one of her very casual tee shirts...the Princess!


Now to find something for me to wear! Do y'all ever have one of those days when nothing in your closet is right??? I shop everyday of my life, but today I couldn't find a thing to wear! With Labor Day fast approaching, I decided to wear my pink Ralph Lauren blouse, white Ralph Lauren capris pants, and white Lilly mules...all of which will soon be at the very back of my closet. A comfortable outfit for a very relaxed evening. (That's Puff Kitty in the photo with me today...no outfit for her!)


I wore my white Lilly mules, my pink & green Lilly-fied scrunchie, a silver monogrammed pendant choker with the matching earrings & bracelet, a Chanel charm ring, and my rollring wedding band by Cartier. My fragrance of choice for the evening was 'Wink' by Lilly.

I barely got fresh sheets back on the bed after the previous guest left, prepared tonight's dinner, and the rest of the house in order before the doorbell rang!

Here's the menu...
