FUR, VELVET, AND LEATHER

Good morning, gurls, from Lake Oconee in Georgia! The sun is shining and it is GORGEOUS!!! I could get used to this life. Lol!!! I am sitting here doing the blog while I am overlooking the lake. It is crazy how beautiful and relaxing it is here. I am almost glad that it is cold right now or I wouldn’t be able to get any work done, I would be out sitting on the patio or down at the dock. You will be seeing plenty of photos next week since I brought my camera (crossing my fingers) to take pictures with. Those of you who said that you would like to see some outdoor pictures are going to love that series!I want to thank everyone who has commented so far on my “what do you like, want to see different” post. Be sure to check it out (here) and leave a comment to be entered into a drawing for a Kate Spade bangle bracelet. I was a tiny bit afraid to ask, “what do you like, want to see different” because you never know what the answers will be. BUT, I am loving all the comments and love that you gurls have been showing me. Shoot, I might make this a weekly post. Lol!!! I do like the idea of styling something several different ways so I will try to incorporate more of that into my posts. I was afraid you would say, “I have already seen that shirt, let’s move on” but until you try something new you just never know.
Speaking of something new, how do you like this hat? Isn’t it the cutest thing? I have these pictures fixed so that you can see the fur detail on the vest and hat but it makes my eyes look freaky. I bought this vest when I was in Marietta at a little store on the square. It was the same store where I bought a pair of snakeskin knee boots earlier in November. I love this vest because the fur is just down the lapels. A full vest of fur would make me look like a big bear. Lol! I looked for a label on the vest but the only thing I could find was a “G” on the inside. When I bought this vest they had it in two colors, the black, and a winter white. I ALMOST bought the white one because it was so striking but finally decided to go with the black because I was afraid that I couldn’t keep the white one clean. I did find a link to a white one so if you are interested you can check it out.

I wanted earrings that would show up against the backdrop of the black vest. The Sam earrings looked amazing against the vest and the silver popped. I have on the Gwen and the Ezra black bling bracelet today along with a large stone bracelet that was from a Plunder Posse shipment. You can barely see the “S” from my Bree necklace showing. I like this necklace because it is dainty and just fits in the space of a lot of necklines. I also added the Lizzy necklace which I love after I modified it and took off the cream tassel. I still have the tassel so I can reattach it later if I want. I ordered 500.00 in Plunder jewelry the other day! I have decided to up the ante. From the 15th of the month until the last day of January, when you order at least 75.00 (excluding taxes and shipping) you will get ONE additional piece of jewelry from me. But, if you order at least 125.00 (excluding taxes and shipping) then you will get TWO items from me! January is the month to make your purchases!!! Go to plunderdesign.com/taniastephens to place an order and be sure to pick a party with my name on it. The black leather boots are by Bandolino. I bought them at a clearance sale on year at Belk. Be on the lookout at this time of year for all of these type sales. Try to pick a style that you think you will be able to wear for years to come. This pair is basic and black so that is something that shouldn’t go out of style anything soon.

The hat is vintage! It is something that I purchased when we held a vintage fashion show for our woman’s club this past year. I am not a “hat” person because I have a big head (no comments please) but I couldn’t pass this one up. It was cold this morning so I wore it to work fully expecting some comments from Gerald. He didn’t disappoint me as he said he thought he remembered his 85-year-old granny wearing hats like this. I told him that she must have been very stylish then. Lol! The multi-colored tunic I have on is by Umgee. I haven’t been buying this brand near as much because it is hard to find online to link to. I buy my Umgee either through local boutiques or on Amazon. I have on my black velvet leggings with this look. Because the tunic is long I don’t have to worry about my booty showing. Lol!

I have been telling you over the last week about some of the damage that menopause does to your skin. Today I am telling you a little about the company.
