Ebay is my weakness.

I got all caught up in an auction and bought a Calvin Begay cuff bracelet that I really didn't need. But I do love his work.

I found a few pics of the Ribkoff clothes I mentioned.

(This pic doesn't show the cute little bolero jacket that goes with the dress.)


(Imagine this is an irridescent version of the purple above.)

Clothes for Fall

I stopped by Janice Ann's, my favorite dress shop, while I was in Knoxville earlier this week, and the fall clothes that she has in are nothing short of amazing. There's a fabulous fitted black/white houndstooth suit with black knit sleeves that is very Katharine Hepburn-esque, a purple and black A-line dress with a cropped jacket and a black/white plaid sheath with a bolero jacket that look like they stepped out of an early Barbara Streisand movie (she had the most fabulous clothes in those movies), and a purple irridescent all-weather coat with a ruffled raised color that is just stunning. Bootie (the salesclerk) offered to hold the coat for me, but I was hesitant to buy anything, when I'm trying to lose weight.

But if I can take off 20 pounds by the end of September, they will all be mine.
