MY OBSESSIONS

I have a serious obsession with rhinestones and leopard. Just ask any of my family, friends, or coworkers. I gravitate towards it like a magnet and truly believe that it’s a color and not a print and should be included in Crayola’s Box of Colors. Maybe it’s the alter ego…whatever it is, I absolutely love and adore them both. Here are some of my favorite rhinestone and leopard finds.

Hello Kitty Twinkle Watch
Just the touch to add a little feminity and fun to weekend wear. This cute Hello Kitty watch is adorned with rhinestones and a genuine mother-of-pearl inlay on the dial. For the girlie girl in all of us grown women. Avon carries an exclusive line of Hello Kitty jewelry and accesories.
Rhinestone Dominos
These were actually a Christmas gift from my coworker last year. (Thanks Tracie!) I simply adore them. Althought mine were purchased from ZGallerie.com, the pair pictured, come from Toss Designs. Makes a great conversation piece. and are quite affordable.

Rhinestone License Plate
I’ve ordered a pair for my Black MB as a birthday gift to myself. Can I be anymore over the top!! L2bwomen carries Austrian Swarvoski license plate holders as well as Euro Crystals. Check with your state to see if they are legal.

Leopard Apron
This is a great apron to have when hostessing a get-together with friends or family. It has two front pockets and mine has a rhinestone brooch. I also use it when I host Avon-Tini parties. Plus Splitpursenality has tons of other cute items.

Leopard Stilletto’s
Every girl should have a pair for her alter ego. Beyonce’ calls her Sasha when she’s on stage. Everyone just calls me DIVA. HOLLA!! This pair is from Steve Madden, who has an array of leopard shoes online.

KLS Leopard Skirt
This is on my wish list for my birthday. Its from the KLS (Kimora Lee Simmons) Collection. It's 100% silk so I think that justifies the price tag. ($172.00) The cut of the skirt makes it timeless and will transcend across many seasons.

FASHION WITH A CAUSE!!

There are so many ways to give back to society and worthwhile causes while still maintaining your sense of style. Many organizations give a percentage of the purchase price of the product you buy to aide in their cause. From breast cancer reasearch, domestive violence, HIV and AIDS in Africa. Here's a few of my favorites....

1. Avon Walk for Breast Cancer Zip Hoodie...60% of the purchase price ($45.00), is donated to the Avon Foundation Breast Cancer Crusade.

2. Avon Walk for Breast Cancer Fleece Pants...66% of the purchase price ($35.00) is donated to the Avon Foundation Breast Cancer Crusade.

3. Viva Glam Lipstick...100% of the proceeds raised goes to MAC AIDS Fund to support the fight against HIV/AIDS.

4. IPOD (Product) Red...$10.00 from the purhase price of this IPOD ($199.00) goes to the Global Fund, to help fight HIV/AIDS in Africa.

A Charming World

Welcome to my world!! A Sourthern Girl's Charm.

Although I was born and raised in The Great Lone Star State of Texas, my roots and childhood summers are back in Louisiana. From my sister's creole cuisine (her gumbo is divine) to my love for zydeco music, horses and all things Southern. My personality of course is as big as TEXAS.

My inspiration comes from beautiful surroundings, my spiritual connection, financial security, a positive attitude, physical health and much laughter. Of course all of this is a work in progress. But aren't we all anyway.

I'm also a Leadership Representative for Avon. I thoroughly enjoy my Avon business and the mini-empire that I'm building within Avon. I'm not only building my own success story but I'm mentoring others to build their own success stories and reach their goals. So it's a win win plan for all.
