I’m jumping the gun on April’s Jewel of the Month because Easter is coming and I’ve got the perfect Easter gift for you. Forget about baskets stuffed with delicious Jelly Belly jelly beans, scrumptious Cadbury Eggs and indestructible Peeps.

My old K. Jacques wedges were so stretched out that they were falling off my feet, so I got these to replace them. I discovered that my summer shoes were in a bad way when I sneaked off to Phoenix for a few days this week. While I was there, I saw gorgeous blogger Practical [...]

Check out my new shades. This is my third pair of round sunglasses. I still have these and these. Gorgeous blogger Jennine gave the latest ones to me. She bought them in Germany, so “Danke schön,” Jennine! Jennine’s husband is German so she’s picked up some of the language from him. That’s what led to [...]

Behold! My latest Minx manicure. Here’s a close-up. Normally, I go for metallic Minx but Janice the Minx lady sent me this design to try out.* It would be perfect for celebrating the Day of the Dead, wouldn’t it?
