Warm and Fuzzy

When you think of fur, you usually envision a beautiful evening gown, exquisite jewelry and a night out on the town, but fur can be worn so many different ways. You can dress it up or dress it down. Here, I have chosen to pair my fur with jeans. In a...

Shades of Gray

Mandeville, Louisiana is a beautiful little city with cute shops, lake views and good food. I visited with some friends while in Mandeville and we had a great time. While I was there, I went to Lake Pontchartrain to take some pictures before heading...

Being Me

by shaylajay | October 17, 2011 | Fashion, Popular | 24 Comments

I'm feeling giddy and I'm ready to take on the world. I love my "job" --- bathing in the beauty around me and enjoying all that life has to offer. Believe it or not, this is what I prefer to wear on any given day --- jeans and a baby tee. Of course...

If you read my previous post on Odelia, a beautiful family-owned restaurant in Mandeville, you remember the secret door in the restaurant that led to the boutique (au Darling) next door. The back of this bookcase was a beautiful ornate mirror, which camoflauges the...

The Challenge

by shaylajay | June 4, 2011 | Fashion, Popular | 29 Comments

Welcome to my blog! Here I am with my first post. I decided I would challenge myself to begin with what is already in my closet. I cannot buy new outfits, shoes, etc. I have to work with what I already own. I began by giving several pairs of shoes, handbags, jeans...

Sucker for Seersucker

Music to My Ears

If you had been there, you would have pulled the one you love close and reminisced about the day you met. If you had been there, you would have felt relaxed, fine and on cloud nine...if only you had been there. I'm talking about jazz in the park at...

80 Degrees

It's pleasant outside right now, but the high today is supposed to reach 80 degrees! The winters here are always predictable --- by noon, a high of 70-75 is expected and sunshine for weeks at a time is normal. I thought we were done with the...

Closet Trends

For the past couple of weeks, I have been organizing my closet. The back wall of my closet was a mess. I knew it was time to make some changes when I could not find clothes or when I found clothes that I forgot I even owned. The entire rear wall of...

My Fashion Icon

I love fashion from the 70's and 80's. As many of you already know, most of today's styles are from that era --- platform shoes, wedges, rompers, flare leg pants, high rise pants, huge sunglasses, and the list goes on. While visiting my parents a couple of...
