Padparadscha is a pinkish orange sapphire from exotic destinations like Sri Lanka. In it’s true form it is rare, precious and expensive. Thanks to modern jewelry technology it can be man-made. Emitations has these darling Orange Sapphire Stud Earrings (X13-40236OR) for $24.99. I love the checkerboard cut which gives them a lovely texture and...

Yes, I’m still in summer mode today. It’s hard for me to think about fall clothing when I can’t move without sweating. When I went searching for orange today, I decided to hit up Torrid as I’m feeling kind of fun-ky and Torrid is good to deliver. I actually found two tops you should...

The king of fashion forecasting, David Wolfe, has presented his prediction of “big trends” for 2008. He sees “a repetition of themes, a focus on vintage, and a heavy influence from the past.” Forecasters are also expecting a splurge of “bright colors like neon yellows and cobalt blue” and “organic cottons and materials made...

I’m feeling summerery today. It actually felt like the beginning of the season. It was quite warm and humid. But the cool nights are a great indicator of the pending changes and the I’m starting to see a hint in the trees of fall. The continued warm weather still has me in summer mode...

We are at week six and according to our schedule Orange is the next color on our list. I don’t know what it is about age and colors, it seems the older I get the more I love bolder colors. It’s true orange has never looked good on me. I remember having an orange...

I’m so all about not being practical this week. I was over at The Bag Lady (because my friend Keris writes there occasionally) and I came across this Lanvin suede evening bag from a London boutique called Browns. It is so unpractical at £755.00 which converts to $1,520.10 U.S.($1,599.04 CAN). The color is so...

Who ever said diamonds were a girl’s best friend obviously has not visited Ice. Diamonds are nice but they are soooo… cliche! Unless we are talking about an engagement ring, darling. I found this great Amethyst and Chalcedony necklace for $95. I like how delicate it looks and I’ve always been a fan of...

Nothing makes a great top look better than a bra that fits properly. Nothing makes a woman feel more luscious than a pretty bra. I don’t know what it is about a pretty bra but every woman should make a point of owning at least one. My friend Lana makes a point of owning...

Ok, I need to preface with, I WOULD NEVER WEAR THESE. But… they are flipping awesome! Don’t they just scream Betty Page meets Purple Avenger? Maybe not but they are hot and a whole lot of fun. I would love to have these, even if only to play with them a little. I’d throw...

Now here’s a power color. Purple has often been used by royalty and of course the Pope. Online plus size shop Alight has this delightful Sushi Kimono Dress for $66.00 in berry. It’s berry purple. Too bad they didn’t steam it for the picture! The square neck and 3/4 angel sleeves are very flattering....

Anyone one who knows me knows I love frogs and toads. I am starting to get quite a collection of live and artificial ones in my back yard. The largest live toad we have is the size of the palm of my hand. I love this toad. I saved him from harms way a...

I’m really excited about green this week. Especially after the Emerald Isle Overcoat yesterday. I think I prefer the word “emerald” to “green” too. When I saw this saucy number from About Curves (plus lingerie for real women) I knew instantly it was perfect for this week’s favorites. The sad thing is it only...

I was all set to go hunting for green pants today until I came across this Emerald Isle Overcoat (04010803) from Zaftique, a plus size women’s retailer offering clothing in sizes 00 to 6Z. I simply adore this Celtic inspired coat in deep emerald, especially after previewing Loreena McKennitt’s new album this morning (I’m...
