    The Gilded Age// affordable gold earrings

    Golden looks can be found everywhere this season. The rich shade is flattering to any skin tone and accessories in the finish can be found at every price point. You won’t believe it, but three of the five pairs of earrings shown here are LESS THAN $6!! And the remaining two pairs are LESS THAN $10! You could purchase all five pairs of earrings for about $40!!

    My First Blog Post // Mad for Plaid

    Dear friends, I am delighted to be writing my first blog post (of, hopefully, many more)! I have dreamt of having a blog for many years and finally, after much research, planning and a little consternation, this technological Luddite hit the “publish” button! I am nervous but excited about this new chapter in my life. Please follow along with me as I share my musings on the latest fashion and beauty trends and give you the low down on some of my favorite recipes!
