4th of July Weekend

Hope y'all had a fabulous 4th of July holiday weekend! Mine was a very low-key, relaxing holiday...a lot of rain, some vege burgers & vege beans, fabulous fireworks, and rides on my new bike. Actually, I spent Monday on the sofa...wearing my stretchy pants, a tee, and house socks--watching the Casey Anthony closing arguments on television. But we won't go there anymore, right?

Mlle Coco Chanel had a relaxing weekend...happy to be home. If you follow me on Twitter, you know that Miss Coco has been a very sick little dog. She had pancreatis last week and Friday was her first day back home. I'm happy to say that she is resting and is better now...

Although she's still not her perky, fashionable self...as she was last July 4th. She said a trip to the puppy spa is definitely in order for her!
Keeping it simple for meals, I brought out my "Weekend Dinnerware"...easy cleanup and still cute!

Spent some time working in the garden and sippin' sweet tea on the front porch...

Saturday night, we walked up to our village square at Tradition to watch the fireworks. Fish tacos, fireworks, and Merlot...what a combo!!!

"HERE'S WHAT I WORE" Keeping it casual and cool on a muggy Florida night, I wore my khaki Bermuda shorts and a black Ralph Lauren polo

I wore my Chanel tan and black ballet flats, a Burberry pony cap, my rollring wedding band by Cartier, and my ponytail was adorned with a black grosgrain ribbon bow.My iPhone cover was black with white monogram and my beverage container was a white tumbler with black monogram. My lipstick was 'Star Red' by Chanel and my fragrance of choice for the evening was Burberry classic cologne.
A couple of my favorite jewelry pieces...I wore this darling Chanel charm bracelet and Chanel logo earrings...cute, cute, cute!
My pocketbook...a Burberry tote.
This was an option if it started to rain {Burberry umbrella and A/O Sperrys}...carried inside my tote!
SAY HELLO TO MY NEW BEACH CRUISER! Love this bike y'all! I used some of my birthday $$$ and got it from WALMART, yes ma'am! It is by Huffy...the 'Cranbrook Cruiser'.
Of course, I had to get this accessory...the bell. Ding a Ling!!!
The basket is from Nantucket Bike Basket. It is the 'Cisco' classic handlebar basket.
I was frustrated to find that the makers of bike bottle holders don't design them for the regular size water bottles--they design them for the larger race biker bottles:-( So I have to just throw my water bottle...covered with the darling koozie {from RougeAndCo} into the Nantucket basket. That's not a problem, 'cuz I'd rather do this than attach one of those ugly bike water bottle holders to the bike!
Can't leave home without the keys! Now my keychain is all Lilly-fied! My friend Joy gave me the little shift charm...I'm guessing she bought that in the Savannah, Georgia Lilly store. I just recently bought this little pocketbook charm. IdaClaire makes these...mine is the Lilly 'Taboo' print, monogrammed in pink. Just keeping it cute y'all!
Of course, I had to take my phone along...'cuz y'all know I'm on Casey Anthony verdict watch!!! The iPhone cover HAD to coordinate with everything...the 'Floaters' pattern by Lilly!

Thank y'all so much for stopping by today.

The NEW People of Walmart

If you can be ready to leave the house in less than thirty minutes, you probably shouldn't be leaving the house at all!!!

Earlier this evening, I needed to go shopping at Walmart. Yes, I most certainly do shop at Walmart...I shop everywhere. I'll admit that some stores provide a little more excitement for me than others, but shopping is just plain for me.

There has been a lot of publicity recently about the website PeopleofWalmart. While I won't copy any of the photos from that site, I will just tell you that they are all pretty much ridiculous. I'm not laughing at the way that other people dress, but certainly feel some of those people in the photos featured on the site should have looked in the mirror before they left home!

Now the Walmart where I shop is one of those fancy Supercenters and it's real clean and neat. There are no houligans running around screaming, no merchandise strewn all over the floor, and (some say, due to the economy) you will see many BMW's and Mercedes in the parking lot!

"HERE'S WHAT I WORE" The classic shift in green with pink palms is by Lilly as is the pink cardigan with palm print. The pink flower thongs are also by Lilly. I wore a Lilly-fied flowered ponytail holder, a pearl necklace, pearl stud earrings, and my rollring wedding band by Cartier. I carried my Nantucket pocketbook and my fragrance of choice was 'Wink' by Lilly.

Love this pattern...perfect color and print.


Of course, the bows at the hem are a must for Miss Janice!

Love the palm needlework on the cardigan...

Of course, I stop at the sanitizing stand to clean my cart...ewwwwww~

Walmart is a great place to find Paula Deen cookware!

Loved all the 4th of July partyware they have and loved the price also!

I've got my eye on this baby...

Beach reading material... I must read about Prince William's girlfriend!!! Lord have mercy, is the Star reporting that she's pregnant????!!!

Loaded up the trunk with a few fun goodies...LOVE my new hot pink beach chair!!!

That old saying "If I keel over in Walmart, please drag my body to Neimans" doesn't really apply to me! I'm not ashamed for anyone to know that I shop at Walmart! However, I think that just because people are shopping at a discount store doesn't mean they have to show up there lookin' like something the cat drug in!

Thank you for visiting with me and I hope y'all have a wonderful weekend!
