If you hadn't noticed, I love fabric. I also have an appreciation for beautiful creations that are unique. It's important to be an individual and share your passion with those you come in contact with. There's an old saying, it goes something like this: Find what you really enjoy in life and figure out a way to make a living doing it. You understand my point. Do what you love.

 I want to introduce you to Bonnie Strauss Clothing because whenever I see her designs, it makes me think about being feminine, unique and alive. Her designs are original and truly one of a kind. You can tell she really loves what she does. It shows. 

When I see her designs of silk, lace, hand beaded and embroidered designs, I'm in awe.

 You know that feeling of wearing your favorite dress and the feeling you get from wearing something you truly feel confident in? That's Bonnies' creations. They're beautiful!

Bonnie is a three time winner of the Designer of the Year award and her beautiful clothes are a testament to that. I just truly believe that her wonderful designs should be seen and appreciated by everyone and I am so thankful that she does what she does. She is a wonderful person that makes the world a better place. She is inspirational and so kind. You can check out her latest posts on her Facebook page and keep up with all her latest designs and her wonderful spirit.

Biggest Hugs,

I've shopped in boutiques, etsy and ebay and have found really unique items. I call them little treasures because to me, they are. I have also met some really nice people as well. 

The first thing I look at, once an item has caught my eye,  is the location of the item. You can request through the refine tab to look at items world wide, North America and specifically the U.S. on ebay. This can and does affect shipping charges.  You can refine for size, color, etc. as well. Some of the items are brand new. Never worn but they are old stock. I found a blouse from Sears, still in its original packaging, never worn and it has a Peter Pan collar. I have beads and sequins from stores that closed down and they are handmade. You can tell because each one is different and unique. 

As I was browsing today, I saw these two sweaters that caught my eye and I'd like to share them with you. 

I hope you enjoyed these two sweaters as they caught my eye. I want to point out their ratings are both 100% and they both have sales (the number in parenthesis). This is good information that I look at when I find something. 

Here's a shirt that I found that is from the '60's and is vintage, gold and silver lame. I think it will pair nicely with a black turtle neck, black pants and black boots...

Hope you have a wonderful day.

Biggest hugs,

Tracey

It all started off with the shoes...

Let me explain.

The shoes I am wearing in this picture are my mothers. She loved them and then I have loved them. They are one of my favorite shoes to wear, for sentimental reasons and, of course, the shape of the shoe is unique and effortlessly beautiful. 

So, when I walked into my closet and saw these shoes, I knew these were what I wanted to wear for the day. Now, I just had to coordinate my outfit around my shoes.

I chose black leggings for comfort and style and a black mock turtle neck to keep me warm as temperatures are steadily dropping in Las Vegas. 

The coat, an addition that my youngest daughter thought of when I asked what coat I should wear with the outfit. The handbag that I am carrying just seemed to go with the coat as well. 

I so enjoy when things just fall into place, especially wardrobe wise!

Keep warm (or stay cool, for all of you experiencing summer right now) and biggest hugs,

Tracey
