Happy Mother's Day!

I would like to wish all my followers a Happy Mother's Day!  While I will not be able to spend today with my Mama, I'm excited that in a couple of weeks I'll be traveling to Georgia to visit her and will be spending the Summer with her...just not sure if I'll stay with her up in Georgia or bring her back with me down to Florida.  Anyway, I feel blessed that I'm able to spend precious time with her.  At almost 90 years of age, Mama has always lived her life for God, her family, and her friends.  Now it's time for me to watch over her.

My Mama...Miss Pauline

Today, I went to church.  Of course, the message is always about Mothers on Mother's Day, which it should be!  On this day, my heart goes out to those of you, who like myself, are not Mothers and I pray for those who want children of their own but are unable.

"HERE'S WHAT I WORE"  The shift is 'Cabana Banana' by Lilly and the cardi is also by Lilly.

Love the pattern with the cabanas and palm trees...

Pink Revas by Tory Burch

The accessories:  Pearl necklace, bracelet, and studs, 'Eternity' wedding band by Cartier, pink grosgrain pony bow, and a white iPhone cover with pink monogram.  

The basket purse is by Queen Bea Studio.

I would like to congratulate Paula at Virginia Sweet Pea blog...she is the winner of my giveaway of a new Lilly Pulitzer iPhone cover sponsored by Lifeguard Press!  Now y'all practice proper blog giveaway etiquette and be polite...congratulate Miss Paula.

Weekend Wardrobe

Well, it's been a fun week...and I'm just now getting over "Television Finale Fatigue"! Apprentice, DWTS, Oprah, Biggest Loser...husband makes me watch 'em all. Of course, I'm a HUGE American Idol fan and sooooo happy that my favorite Scotty McCreery won. I can't wait to buy his music and see him in concert, 'cuz I LOVE HIM THIS BIG!!!!!

Thought y'all might like to see "WHAT I'VE BEEN WEARING"...

Friday, I had errands to run and did a little shopping and stopped for lunch at Bob Evan's. Hmmm, I think I've decided to only eat breakfast at Bob Evan's...no more lunch:) However, I did like their biscuits and apple butter. Anywho...I wore the 'Frisky Business' skirt by Lilly, with a white tee and green cardigan by J. Crew.

Love the pink and green print print of this skirt!
The lace trim has a palm tree motif!

I wore my orchid pink Revas, by Tory Burch, a silver monogrammed choker necklace with the matching bracelet and earrings, my rollring wedding band by Cartier, and my 'Chameleon' watch by Rolex with the green watchband. My ponytail was adorned with a hot pink grosgrain ribbon and I covered my diet caffeine-free coke with a 'Frisky Business' koozie by Lilly. My iPhone cover was green and my nail polish was 'Lovie Dovie' by Essie. My fragrance of choice for the day was 'Wink' by Lilly and lipstick was 'Laser Pink' by Chanel.

I carried my hot pink 'LePliage' pocketbook tote by Longchamp.

This morning I went to church and wore the 'Cabana Banana' shift by Lilly with the Marilyn Raspberry cardigan also by Lilly.

This is a real cute Lilly shift in the style that I love with the bows at the bottom...gotta have the bows y'all:)

I accessorized with a darker pink to accent the colors of the pattern...

I wore my magenta pink Revas, by Tory Burch and carried my Queen Bee Studio basket-style pocketbook with the magenta ribbon bow. I wore a pearl necklace, bracelet, and earrings and of course my rollring wedding band by Cartier. My ponytail was adorned with a magenta pink grosgrain ribbon bow and I used my hot pink iPhone cover. My nail polish was 'Lovie Dovie' by Essie and my lipstick was 'Laser Pink' by Chanel. My fragrance of choice for the morning was 'Wink' by Lilly.

This afternoon husband MADE me go see Hangover 2 with him. Lord have mercy, I must admit it was hilarious! Keeping it casual...I wore this green gingham skort by Lilly with a white tee.

Y'all know I love gingham...it just says "Summertime"!

The ric-rac trim makes it even cuter!

I wore my white mules by Lilly and carried this darling basket-style pocketbook with the Lilly-fied pattern on the top. I wore a silver monogrammed choker necklace with the matching earrings, my 'Return to Tiffany' bracelet by Tiffany, my rollring wedding band by Cartier, and my 'Perpetual Oyster' watch by Rolex. My ponytail was adorned with a green grosgrain ribbon bow, my nail polish was 'Lovie Dovie' by Essie, and my lipstick was 'Laser Pink' by Chanel. I used a green iPhone cover, wore my Chanel sunglasses, and my fragrance of choice for the afternoon was 'Wink' by Lilly.

Look at this darlin' pocketbook. I saw a photo of this cute thing that someone posted on the Re-Lilly site on Facebook. I commented on how much I liked it. The top is just decoupaged with a Lilly print and the green grosgrain ribbon added to the handletop and around the top of the purse. The owner said she would sell it to me if I wanted it and voila...it's mine! Isn't it cute for the summertime?!

Thank you so much for stopping by today. I do hope y'all are having a fantastic Memorial Day weekend! Now I must rush and prepare our dinner for tonight!

Over the Weekend

It was another beautiful weekend here in South Florida...full of yucky, nasty LOVEBUGS! Here's a notice to all y'all--DON'T COME TO SOUTH FLORIDA DURING MAY!!! These things are disgusting! They have a cute name and that's where it ends:) They make such a mess!


Sunday morning I visited a new church. I LOVE the church I attend, but I really do need to find something closer to the house. Well, this one was NOT what I'm looking for...just NOT the right fit. Ugh!

"HERE'S WHAT I WORE" {i also wore it to lunch last week and just now remembered that...oops!} The shift is 'Creme Fraiche' by Lilly and the cardigan is also by Lilly.

It's the classic shift style with the bows at the bottom--the type that I love...

Love the strawberry print...
I carried my Nantucket Lightship Basket pocketbook and wore my pink Revas, along with a pearl choker necklace, the matching pearl earrings, and my rollring wedding band by Cartier. My ponytail was adorned with a pink grosgrain ribbon and my fragrance of choice for the day was 'Wink' by Lilly.

After lunch at Panera Bread, I came home and enjoyed a long afternoon nap! Next week I'm trying one more church; it's one that I've visited before...maybe this time I might like it more:) I'm still settling in after my trip to Georgia last week. I'll post some photos later this week of my BFF Teresa Jane's kitchen redo...it's too cute.

Oh, Blogger was down for a couple of days last week, so I extended the deadline to enter my giveaway until last night. DRUMROLL PLEASE....The winner of the giveway to celebrate National Etiquette Week is Lori Stewart.

Now please practice proper giveaway etiquette and join me in congratulating Miss Lori! Thanks to all who entered the giveaway and y'all have a wonderful week!

Easter is Almost Here!

Today I attended the Good Friday Liturgy at church...somber, but a beautiful message which gave me a deeper appreciation of the passion of Christ. On Good Friday, the Episcopal Church commemorates the crucifixion of Jesus Christ and his death at Calvary with "The Seven Last Words from the Cross." {the final seven phrases our Lord uttered as he hung on the cross}

~"Father, forgive them for they know not what they do." (Luke 23:34)

~"This day thou shalt be with me in paradise." (Luke 23:43)

~To his Mother, "Woman, behold thy son." To his beloved disciple, "Behold your Mother." (Luke 19:26-27)

~"My God, My God, why hast thou forsaken me?" (Mark 15:34)

~"I thirst." (John 19:28)

~"It is consummated." (John 19:30)

~"Father, into thy hands I commend my spirit." (Luke 23:46)

So many parts of the message today hit home with me...if Jesus Christ can forgive those who crucified him, surely I can forgive those who do harm to me!

After Church, I grabbed a quick bite at The Olive Garden and got to work immediately putting together my Easter Sunday Dinner! I'm making it real easy this year...all prepared by The Honeybaked Ham people! Ham, casseroles, mashed potatoes, and of course, Sister Schubert rolls {from Walmart}!!!

I took Miss Coco to The Beauty Shop today and she "Got her Hair Did"! She's definitely ready now to priss around in all her Spring fashions:-) "Here's What Miss Coco Wore" today. Lynn Whelan custom-made this cute little kerchief...it's pink with white ric-rac trim. Of course, it's embroidered with her name "Coco"! Her little topknot is adorned with a pink ribbon bow.

I dropped off Miss Coco and our Sunday Dinner at the house and headed back out for a pedicure. Miss Janice is now ready for "Open-toe shoe season" which officially starts on Sunday!

"HERE'S WHAT I WORE." The pink and green palm-motif shift is by Lilly as is the pink cardigan. {This is one my favorite Lilly shifts...one of many I must say!}
The pattern...


The pink 'Revas' by Tory Burch just might be the most perfect pair of shoes I own. Revas in Pink means y'all are gonna be seeing a lot of these cute flats!

Thank you for visiting with me today. I'll be back on Easter Sunday...with photos of "What I Wore" and "What Miss Coco Wore"!
