Its A Wrap!

Every woman has a go-to hair style that she turns to in a crunch.  Some of us have a couple.  Well, I personally love a wrap when my hair won't cooperate with me, or when I run out of time to fix it.  Heck, truth is, I just love this look bad hair day or not.  It is all kinds of fierce!

 Now, I realize this may not be for everyone, but there are so many variations and creative ways to style a head wrap that there is something for everyone.  Don't believe me?  Well, here are as as my Jamaican friend would call it  "a trailer load" of wrap styles to inspire you.  And me. 

 So Let's do this!














See what I mean?  You know you can rock one of these.  Just grab a scarf from your closet and work it!

Deals, Steals And Goodwill To All!

Okay, so I have to admit that this Goodwill thing is getting a wee bit out of hand.  And by that I mean I go there constantly, ahem, alright, the truth is, I stalk that site like a predator.  Sigh. I just can't help myself.  The deals are just too darn good to pass up!  Lately though, since I know this is my new go-to pass time, I have been making sure that I buy things ONLY for my Ebay business.  Cha-ching!  Goodwill is perfect for that, and I feel less guilt when I shop now because it's to turn a profit.....and it does.  Now all I have to figure out is when to stop buying.  Oh well, this may take some time.  Baby steps.


Here's a few of my buys for this week:



A huge 121b mystery bag of vintage jewelry.  I cant wait to see what's in there.  You have to be brave to do this though, especially when it is costing more than a few dollars.  I will update you on this purchase later but if my hunch is right, this could be a valuable lot of jewelry.


Next is a vintage Chanel scarf.  Hello! These things sell for hundreds of dollars so of course I just had to get it.


Now this may be a dud or it may be something I pat myself on the back for.  I don't know which yet but am praying it's the latter.  I am not a golf aficionado but sports memorabilia possibly signed by Tiger Woods seemed like a good gamble at the time so I took a calculated risk.



And then there were these beautiful pieces.  They are gorgeous and were made in Ireland by a company called Belleek. I did some research and they are worth a lot more than I paid for them. Score!


And finally here is my favorite buy of the week.  Of course it's Art.  I don't know why but I saw these paintings and it was love at first sight.  They are really special.






And there you have it, my Goodwill shopping spree in a nutshell minus my victory dance and screaming when I lost or won a bid.  Really exciting stuff!  For the rest of the week though am going to be a good girl but next week who knows what Goodwill and I will get into......


Cherio!

Fashion Forward & Creative Ways To Rock A silk Scarf



Silk scarfs are hands down one of my favorite accessories.  Ever.   They are chic, beautiful, and can be styled in so many ways.  A silk scarf can also be worn in both Winter and Summer so this is one accessory that is not only versatile, but super practical and in my opinion, worth every cent you spend on it. 

Gone are the days when wearing a silk scarf meant you had to wear something formal. Now you can wear scarfs with tank tops, sun dresses, shorts, and even straw hats and sandals..... We've come a long way baby!
