Monogram Mania

I guess that I'm on a mission to monogram every single thing I own. Thanks to Miss Monica at The Pink Mongram, my otherwise dull ivory shower curtain in one of our guest baths is now much cuter! In addition to selling all kinds of cute loot, The Pink Monogram will also monogram your stuff that you bought elsewhere! If you are like me and don't have access to someone who can monogram {especially large monograms}, just send your stuff to them and they will do a fabulous job!

Thank You for Remembering Miss Coco

Mademoiselle Coco Chanel

From the bottom of my broken heart, I want to thank y'all for all the sweet words you have sent to comfort me in the loss of my precious Yorkie, Coco Chanel. Some of you asked about what may have happened to her. We really don't know. The day before she died, she rode in the car with my husband for their weekly "banky-bank" trip. She also went to the vet for her Bordatella medicine. Miss Coco had a couple of health issues but this was a complete shock to us.

On Wednesday morning, my husband heard her whimper a couple of times. He walked over to see about her and she collapsed and died instantly. I. Am. Lost. Without. Her. Yesterday I went through several boxes of tissues over that little dog. She was just too precious!

Today, I'm trying to pull myself together and get out of the house. Again, I want to thank you so much for caring and remembering Miss Coco.

Taste of Gourmet Giveaway

Last night I made chili. Okay, it was in the 80's yesterday, but I was organizing my closet and pulling out some Autumn decos... totally in the mood for chili!

The Black Bean Chili is my Taste of Gourmet Product of the Month for September. I added chopped chicken and canned chopped tomatoes to the mix, which is only $9.95 per box.

Husband LOVES this chili and last night I served it with a fresh salad and cornbread. {Jean Paul loves when summertime is over...he gets more blog time during fall, winter, and spring}

Purchasing the chili during the month of September will generate a $1.00 donation to St. Jude Research Hospital in Memphis, Tennessee...a great way to enjoy good food and help the children y'all!

THE GIVEAWAY: Up for grabs today is a box of the Black Bean Chili. Each month, I'll be offering a giveaway of the Taste of Gourmet Product of the Month to a lucky reader!

All you have to do to enter is to leave a comment! Good luck to y'all and don't forget to visit my Taste of Gourmet site to see other delicious gourmet foods. Keep your entertaining pantry stocked with delicious and easy to prepare gourmet foods!

This giveaway will close at 5:00 p.m. on Thursday, September 6, 2012 and I'll announce the winner that evening at 6:00 p.m.

End of Season Outfits

I hope y'all are having a wonderful Labor Day weekend! I've spent the entire day watching football, cooking, and organizing my Fall wardrobe. I really didn't have a post planned for tonight, but thought y'all might like to see my last few outfits of the season. I have a summer dress planned for church in the morning, then I'll be wearing my flip flops for the last time tomorrow night..."HERE' S WHAT I WORE" during the past couple of weeks.

Ralph Lauren Bermuda shorts, Ralph Lauren polo, red J Crew cardi, 'Love' bracelet, Ralph Lauren 'Bit' bracelet, red iPhone cover, Ralph Lauren 'Bit' headband, black grosgrain pony ribbon, Chanel chain belt, and a Ralph Lauren wristlet.

Pink Old Navy 'Rockstar' jeans, white tee, navy blue J Crew cardi, Gucci belt, Ralph Lauren wristlet, and Tommy Hilfiger ballet flats.

Black Ralph Lauren Bermuda shorts, white tee, white pony bow...all paired with Brighton loot--purse, slides, watch, necklace, bracelets, and earrings. LOVE Brighton y'all!

I love these little capris for summer...I have had them forever and because of the ric rac trim, I just can't let them go! A simple white tee and white Lilly mules, with pearls and a white pony bow help to make a rainy Isaac day much brighter. Miss Coco was dressed to match her Mama with a monogrammed bandanna!

A real comfy outfit for summer...Ralph Lauren madras pants, Ralph Lauren OCBD, a Lacoste pony cap, and cute summer basket by Billie Ross of the Palm Beaches. Again, Miss Coco is dressed in blue to match her Mama!

I wore this outfit for the road trip up to Mama's house in Georgia...these are precious flamingo-motif pants paired with a simple white tee and pink Lilly mules. I added a silver monogrammed necklace, earrings, and ring, a pink pony bow, and carried my Queen Bea Designs basket purse. Miss Coco traveled in style...wearing her pink and green monogrammed bandanna.

I wore this skirt, in the 'Croc Monsieur' pattern by Lilly, with a simple white tee, green J Crew cardi, pink and green monogrammed Bonanno sandals, a pink pony bow, my pearls and Rolex, and carried my pink monogrammed Lilly Bermuda Bag. Miss Coco was accessorized with the 'Croc Monsieur' leash, collar, and bandanna!

Black Ralph Lauren Bermuda shorts, Ralph Lauren tee, Lacoste wristlet, Lacoste headband, black and white gingham pony ribbon, and monogrammed black gingham flip flops.
