A TOP WITH A TWIST

I don’t know why I even worried yesterday about the computer software update, everything was just fine. No glitches, no hiccups, no problems. This was just an example of worrying about something tomorrow that was robbing my today of its happiness. Instead of today being a day that I was dreading, it turned out to be a day that was a blessing. You just never know what might happen to you when you go to the post office.I went to the P.O. and the bank like I do every day but as I was walking back to my car with my mail I noticed that I had a slip that told me I had a package too large to fit in the box. I assumed it was something Joe had ordered or even one of the girls at work, so I went back in to get the very large box. When I got back to the lumber company to open the box I was surprised, shocked, thrilled, to see leopard print staring back at me. I found the card and opened it up to find that a sweet reader friend, Annie, had sent me a package. The card was so sweet and thanked me for all that I do for everyone on the blog. What? I am the one that should be thanking you (don’t look for a large package from me just yet) for putting up with my rants, whiney posts, etc. I pulled out the leopard print purse, a matching necklace, and earrings. THEN, I pulled out a vintage purse and there was another necklace and matching earrings in that purse too. Oh, and don’t let me forget, there was also a Santa Claus. Lol! Now she is rushing the season. I love this side tie top. This is one of the hottest looks of the season. I bought this cute top at a local boutique, Trendy Threads, along with several other items that you will be seeing later in the season. This top was by a company I had never heard of, Brenda. This style is very flattering because it makes your leg look long at the knot. Sounds crazy, but I think it makes you look thinner, and I am all for that! Lol! I am styling the Amber necklace today. This necklace is drop dead gorgeous!!! It is showy enough to wear with your fanciest outfit and you see me wearing it today with jeans. Don’t think that you have to wear something fancy just because it has rhinestones. (Champagne colored) I have on the matching bracelet, Benni, and the matching earrings, the Delsie. I guess you will just have to take my word that I have on the earrings. I couldn’t find a single picture where they showed up. They are a 1″ round circle stud earring which is something different from Plunder. Remember that all purchases over 75.00 excluding taxes and shipping, will get an extra piece of Plunder from me. Go to www.plunderdesign.com/taniastephens and pick on the party with my name.  Here it is!!! This is the cutest bag ever. I love the rich color of the print and it feels like fur. The rest of the purse is extremely soft leather and the chain double handles add even more class to this purse. You will see me carrying this a lot this fall and winter, it is too sharp. Thanks again, Annie! This was really too much. BTW, she also included a little money in each purse because she said you are never supposed to gift a purse without some cash in it. I truly had never heard that before, have you?  The shoes were another gift but these were from my daughter for Christmas last year. Talk about cute! The only thing I need to do is put a cushioned pad in them though because they don’t have enough padding. These are by Ruby Shoo and this style is called the Ashley. Lol! They have all kinds of these shoes on Amazon, you should check them out.
I have on my Kut from the Kloth dark wash jeans. I find that I wear a lot of jeans in fall and winter and these are the most comfortable pair that I have had in a while. They have enough stretch in them to not cut you in two but they stay up and don’t sag. These came in my StitchFix box this past time and they were the only thing I kept out of the box. These are my normal size and they fit perfect.

Today is the day! Australia is now open for business! That means that Australians can now sign up as consultants and buy products. That is pretty cool. The sweetest part is that when you sign up as a PC you get free shipping. My daughter in Alaska knows how important that is. Everything that says free shipping will also then say, except for Alaska and Hawaii. Evidently, Alaska and Hawaii are not part of the US. I mailed a package today to someone in the UK and shipping is not cheap. Lol! Anyway, I wanted to tell you about the AMP tool. The Amp is a micro-exfoliation tool that helps with visibly firmer skin.
