Kitty Fashion!

Bags, Jewelry, Shoes Oh My!! Hello Kitty Fashion is just Fabulous!! Sanrio, Kimora Lee Simmons, Tarina Tarantino, Mac and the list goes on and on...:)

Hello Kitty was born in Japan in 1974 by Sanrio.... she was born in my life my sophomore year in High School (1982) when the "Fearsum Four" became one!! :) The Fearsum Four was Martha (Brandi), Gina (Minnie) , Yvette (Mahogany) and me- Nancy (Kitty)!! Hello Kitty has remained in my life off and on like a dear old friend that takes you back to the good old days you will always treasure!! :)

I still love Kitty for the same reasons I did when I was Sixteen! She brings out the girly girl in you! Pink, happy, sweet, flirty, fun and fashionable!! :)

I think I just might add a "Hello Kitty" collection to "It's Charming" this Christmas season!! Stay tuned...

***This blog post is dedicated to the "Fearsum Four"... Love'ya!!!

Mad about Mad Men Fashion!

Mad about Mad Men Fashion....and I mean that in a good way!!! I am extremely excited to see Mad Men's fashion flowing over in the runways and showrooms...Louis Vuitton, Guess, Banana Republic and Mod/QVC to name a few! Autumn is here and these looks are a prefect way to start the season!

When I watch Mad Men I remember all the fabulous fashionable women of that era. We had Fashion Icon Jackie O, Audrey Hepburn, Grace Kelly and Brigitte Bardot to name a few. OMG...how can I forget Marilyn Monroe!! I truly feel that the women of Mad Men "Joan, Betty and Peggy" are the next "Carrie, Charlotte, Samantha & Miranda"...if that's the case who are you? I choose to be all three! :)

Thanks for stopping in and have a Charming Day!

Book Lover

A home without books is a body without soul.

~Marcus Tullius Cicero~

I find television to be very educating. Every time somebody turns on the set I go in the other room and read a book.

~Groucho Marx~

I've traveled the world twice over, met the famous, saints and sinners, poets and artist, kings and queens, old stars and hopeful beginners, I've been where no-ones' been before, learned secrets from writers and cooks all with one library ticket to the wonderful world of books.

~Anonymous~

Books have passion, love, mystery, sorrow, knowledge...the past, the present and the future! Join me and be a book lover and get your ticket to the wonderful world of books!! :)

Happy reading!

Doors

"The doors we open and close each day decide the lives we live."

~Flora Whittemore

"When one door closes, another opens; but we often look so long and so regretfully upon the closed door that we do not see the one which has opened for us."

~Alexander Graham Bell

I have a thing for vintage keys & keyholes. To me they represent the end of one stage and the beginning of another! I can honestly say I'm guilty and have looked long at the closed door...but I'm so happy that I took the leap of faith and turned around to notice the most amazing door that was open! :) Take the leap of Faith and open that new door!!

Thanks for letting me share! :)

Christmas in July!

I'm so excited to say I'm having Christmas in July! Mr. Rock Star himself decided to give me a shopping spree of my choice! First thought was shoes, shoes & more shoes!! :) But then my creative mind took over and I went treasure hunting for some fabulous vintage pieces to create a little bit of charm for you!! :)

Stay tuned.....

Chandelier Couture

I did a little shopping and came across the most beautiful strand of Crystal Clear Prisms that were salvaged from an Authentic Antique Chandelier...thus became "My Chandelier Couture Collection". I've mixed these Sparkly beauties with Precious Pink Pearls, Classic Tiffany Blue Pearls, Yummy Butterscotch Pearls, Electric Swarovski Blue Crystals & Vintage Metal Chains for that Vintage Rock Glam! Please stop by my Etsy Shop and take a peek! :) I truly think you will love them as much as I do....I've been wearing mine everyday!! :)

Thanks again for stopping in and for allowing me to share my Vintage Treasures!!

Happy Father's Day!

This is my amazing, smart, talented, handsome Father!!! :) I have this frame with a couple of pictures of us that I look at everyday before I walk out the door...and it has the most beautiful saying that is true to my heart! :)

"Dad, you set an example I'll follow for life. You taught me to do what's right, to try my best to show respect. Your words ring true in my head and my heart. Thanks for being my teacher and best friend. I love you, Dad."

It's been 10 years without seeing your gorgeous smile, hearing your laughter, listening to you sing & play the guitar and reminding us "It is Morning!" :) .....not a day goes by that you are not in our hearts and prayers! Forever you will be the apple of my eye!!!

I love & miss you so much!!! Happy Father's Day Dad!!!

~Nancy...your little girl forever!
