GFS Feature: Christ Chic!


(Zara's Sweater, ANCIENT Express skirt because I haven't stepped foot in there in about 6 years)


I have an Italian friend who worships Elvis Presley and the Pittsburgh Steelers, loves raunchy gangsta rap, reads her women's devotionals while taking smoke breaks, prefers red soda, decorates for all holidays, likes to fight, exposed me to tomales, displays a Pink flamingo bird in her yard, is renting a moon walk for this year's Christmas party and watches that show Glee...faithfully. Is your Italian like my Italian? My Italian is awesome! What up Lisa!


Well, she shared with me that she watched last week's episode of Glee and apparently one of the characters went to a baptist church and got exposed to a whole new style of dress...CHRIST CHIC!
I immedately knew I was going to use that name for my postings of Sunday outfits. Doesn't it just fit!


I may have told her I that I was going to watch that episode this weekend just for reference but I'd much rather watch Sister Wives...because well...they are SISTER WIVES!  Just the title of that show cracks me up! Have you seen it? The dude/the polygamist is not even hot!
At any rate here is my Christ Chic look for today.  I kept it basic because I really just wanted to wear the hat. The purse...I needed a pop of color so I dug in a drawer and came out with this flower pin and pinned it to my clutch.




I'll announce the winner of the Shoe Clips Giveaway this week!

Things of beauty...

The first week of summer holidays, so far so good; the entertainment machine has taken effect, grandparents and friends, walks and cinema visits, bike-rides and shopping trips. It's nice to blog for some serenity!

We have friends coming for Friday night curry, the event that signals the end of another work week. It is my nephew's christening this weekend, always love a family get-together...

Things of beauty...weaving from boater hats to breton stripes and lots in between.

How pretty and dreamy does she look?


Milk and cupcakes, a perfect combination...


This summer weather calls for a gazebo...wouldn't it be lovely to sip a long drink in this little place?

Here's to candle-lit summer nights and relaxing...

Totally Inappropriate...I Know.

So this is totally inappropriate. Here I am watching the Michael Jackson Memorial...which was BEAUTIFUL by the way.

I'm soaking it all in and then I see it...LaToya Jackson's hat! WHAT! Just perfection. Then I catch a glimpse of Janet's "mourning" ensemble...WHAT!

Everyone knows that I am a fan of Janet...remember this post? Right...so you know.

But that dress, that beret, those gloves, that clutch...if you are going to mourn in front of the world...That's how you do it. I would wear that to go check the mail!

Like I said, I am totally wrong for focusing on such a frivolous issue but it could not be helped. Those sleeves on that dress and the gloves made it real to me. So what if it's summer time...wear leather gloves Janet...you are a Jackson...there are no rules. Look at the back of Janet's dress below...what what what! Rebbie's hat was on point too.



I admit. I am wrong for this. But it had to be acknowledge. Now let me get back to Lionel Richie singing the ultimate church song...JESUS IS LOVE...!!!

Tell em Lionel!

Oh...I am going to officially bring back wearing short gloves when I go to church. First church, then I am just going to start having lunch dates and show up with short gloves and berets with my ensembles. LOL. Janet has inspired me! Just watch and see! You dare me? Don't dare me!

.....totally inappropriate....I know. RIP MJ...but your sisters distracted me!
