I do think black looks so chic on you, just not for me. But I love that we are all different, makes life more interesting. I love your hair, it looks great on you. And yes, a little sparkle is always a good idea!Deborah Montgomeryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04366855994841922862noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5385735624350758337.post-61658614605627043982014-07-26T12:06:03.416-07:002014-07-26T12:06:03.416-07:00Oh we are lucky to have our red headed grand daugh...Oh we are lucky to have our red headed grand daughters...the sun is shining today.<br />Enjoy your summer holiday in the UK.hostess of the humble bungalowhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06453827257671312902noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5385735624350758337.post-53962090613744085122014-07-26T12:04:26.894-07:002014-07-26T12:04:26.894-07:00You have a lovely blog and those pretty floral pai...You have a lovely blog and those pretty floral paintings are beautiful.hostess of the humble bungalowhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06453827257671312902noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5385735624350758337.post-20447544724192574342014-07-26T12:03:40.196-07:002014-07-26T12:03:40.196-07:00Vancouver is a beautiful city and if you find your...Vancouver is a beautiful city and if you find your way to the west coast please hop on a ferry and visit our fair city of Victoria.

Robert tells me I should live in New York. In Van it's fine, but here in Oxfordshire I really tend to "stand out", especially in the summer when everyone seems to be wearing all sorts of ghastly, floaty layers of fuchsias, greens and yellows. (OK, marginal bit of exaggeration going on.) But yesterday I was in London where there was a fair bit of sensible black going on...lol. I read down some of your posts and realised that we both have Isla red-haired granddaughters, love thrift shops and are part crow/magpie hoarding shiny glittery things. Lovely to get to know you a little. Hope the rain has stopped for you and the sun is shining. Big hugs from me over at the far side of the pond, (for another couple of months).

But it is so classic, so classy and so easy to style. I should just stop fighting it. I'm going to Switzerland, Germany and Austria in the fall and was trying to build a travel wardrobe around gray and beige. But black keeps sneaking in and I am going to go with it. Wish I had your consignment opportunities here. It would save me a ton of money.<br /><br />Vancouver is on my life list, partly because of your blog. It looks like such a lovely place to visit and live.Kristien62https://www.blogger.com/profile/04141776821818167047noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5385735624350758337.post-51412632714956408902014-07-25T17:37:08.981-07:002014-07-25T17:37:08.981-07:00I bought my first consignment store purchase today...I bought my first consignment store purchase today. Blue and pewter skirt and jacket with a blue tee. You look very chic in black and a bit of sparkle is always a good thing.
