Things Go Better With Coke

If you follow me on Twitter, you know that I gave up Diet Caffeine Free Coke for Lent. I remember the Ash Wednesday service...The Priest said "Don't talk about what you give up. Don't go around moaning about it." Well, other than a mention here and there, I did not AND I made it. NO COKE during Lent!

Last night I celebrated and enjoyed a DCF Coke with some popcorn while watching Desperate Housewives and Brothers and Sisters. Ahh! Things do go better with Coke. I was raised on this stuff. Can't help loving it. Over the years I've gone from drinking Regular Coke Classic, {Co' Cola to us Southerners} tried the New Coke {eww}, Diet Coke, Caffeine-Free Coke, Coke Zero, and now my Coke of choice is Diet Caffeine-Free Coke!

Welcome back to my frig DCF Coke!!!

I also celebrated the official start of "Open-Toe Shoe Season" and "White Pants Season". I feel like I'm late to the game here in South Florida where all the Yankees have been wearing white shoes, flip flops, and summer wear all winter! :-)

So bring on the seersucker, Jack Rogers, patent leather, linen fabrics, and white shoes! I'm ready now:)

Moving on...I'm now in FULL ROYAL WEDDING MODE!

Happy Easter!

Up VERY early this morning, I started off Easter with a hot cup of tea {from my 'Bordallo Pinheiro' china and a Strawberry Cross Bun...yum yum! Thank goodness the gym is closed today so I don't have to deal with the guilt of eating BAD and not working out!!!

Happy Easter to y'all! Of course, this morning I attended Easter service at Church:) LOVE my Church!

The Ladies Church Garden Club and the Altar Guild did a wonderful job! Take a look at the Altar...

The needlepoint kneeler cushions at the Altar Rail are stunning!

Of course, on Easter Sunday, MOST people are dressed in their 'Sunday Best Easter Outfit'. From my front-row seat, {got there just in time to get the last seat--UP FRONT, Lord have mercy!} I saw everyone. One gentleman looked very dapper in his seersucker jacket. There were several beautiful hats and many bright colored linen suits. Then...there was the white sandals with stockings. The blue jeans with tennis shoes and topsiders? I love topsiders also, but on Easter Sunday? After the service, one of the ladies on the Altar Guild was working at the Altar and it was then that I realized she and I were the only Lilly-clad girls present!!!

After Church, I went straight home {no shopping!} for a traditional Easter Sunday Dinner of Honeybaked Ham, green bean casserole, cream corn, mashed potatoes, salad, and Sister Schubert rolls. Since the gym is closed today {YAY for that}, I'm gonna have a relaxing day and watch Miss Coco dig into her little Easter basket.

"HERE'S WHAT WORE" Decided to go blue this Easter with the Worth shift Lace, 'Aquamarine in the Slim', by Lilly.

Love the pattern, with the ladies {also dressed in Lilly} in a fountain...

The bodice has the most beautiful lace detailing...

I broke out my white Revas and carried a little white Bermuda bag to celebrate the first day of 'White Shoe Season'. My white cardi throw is from Land's End. I wore my rollring wedding band by Cartier, my pearl necklace, and my Ralph Lauren pearl earrings & bracelet. My ponytail was adorned with an aqua ribbon and my fragrance of choice for the day was 'Wink' by Lilly.

"HERE'S WHAT MISS COCO WORE" Her little Easter dress is pink and green and has a bunny-motif print! Her topknot is adorned with a pink ribbon bow.

Little Miss Coco's Easter basket...she has a new baby {named Rabbit} and some bone-zes and cookies!

Miss Coco digging in...

I hope y'all have a wonderful Easter Sunday! Thank you for visiting with me today.
