MY FEATHER BOW TIE!!! MODELED BY MY BOY S


Hey so the weather's been makin me feel super crafty and thrifty so I decided to make a feather bowtie!!! I was inspired by a Tommy Ton photograph http://www.style.com/trendsshopping/stylenotes/011210_Tommy_Ton_Menswear/.
Got my boy S to model it for me. He looks so cute. I plan on posting a how-to on Youtube by Tuesday when I figure out how to edit. Currently, a whopping 60 minutes long. The tie is definately a work in progress, but he made it look good. I plan on trying other techniques to making a feather bowtie in the near future.

WORD OF THE DAY

largesse

[lahr-jes]
 noun
1. liberal giving (as of money) to

2. generosity

It is with my largesse that you are able to do this.

I heard this on Royal Pains. The new season just started on USA at 9:00 p.m. on Thursdays. It's a must-see. One can also catch-up on missed episodes at http://www.usanetwork.com/series/royalpains/.


GREAT KOHL'S FIND!

I love Khol's so much! The store always offers a sale on quality products. Kohl's often sends out coupons that one can use on any item i.e, even clearance items! They have the best return policy and customer service. Also, I love Kohl's Power Hours and Kohl's Cash. Currently Kohl's is offering free shipping as well. Check out the pants I purchased today with the coupon I posted a bit ago. I am also including how I plan on styling it. This outfit is a good transition outfit from late Winter to Spring.


These are a black cropped pair of all season trousers from The Simply Vera by Vera Wang collection. The fabric is four seasons and has an interesting zipper detail. These were $34.99 plus %20 off and when pair correctly will look much more expensive!

This sweater is light, airy, and comfy in a chic relaxed fit, but still capable of providing warmth. The desert colour is the perfect match with black. I like the tan and black combo apposed to the white and black combo because sometimes it can read waitressy.
$58

Sky high pumps are a must with a loose fitting ensemble like this one. It adds a needed feminine touch.
$89.65





This giant watch for $41.38 from http://www.asos.com/ is a classic made with a neutral bold face. When ASOS says giant, they mean GIANT! This definitely a statement piece at a great price.
This belt from www.jcrew.com for $29.50 is a great finishing touch. Not only does it pick up on the two colours in the outfit, but adds a bit of needed shine and matches the gold hardware of the watch.
