A touch of gold


Ah yes, dinner parties –while great fun and usually bubbles of laughter. With really good mates it’s a grantee to have a great and wonderful evening. Some dinner parties setting clearly define the attire for the evening a house environment screams comfortable, outside of that either whispers classy/elegant or bellows posh-dosh. With no defined setting a hurricane of destruction passed through my closets with piles of clothes, hangers, and other bits and bobs left behind in its path. All on the base of wanting to wear the color “gold”, my motive to wear gold was not fueled by the need to give my new clutch a test run but rather the need to wear something that screamed classy, elegant, bold – a mellow tone between a whisper and a scream.



I know I wanted to be adorned in gold – I don’t know why, its not your typical pick of the mill. I don’t recall where I got this top – but not only was it the right colour but also the right style for an elegant comfy piece. Along with my ever so chic capri’s that has the illusion of a skirt, highlighted with black wedges along with my sleek looking clutch. The complete look was absolutely perfect for what I wanted to achieve.

Oops, I racked it in...... O_O


With a few hours to kill before hitting the sack, a host of blog posts to do, catch-up on my favourite bloggers, snacking on pretzel crisps and indulging in jasmine ice-tea (yum, yum). Why not explore what I have collected over the last couple of weeks……………you guessed it a haul.

There has been the absolute need to collect a few bits and bobs – top of the hit list was the body shop sounding a bit strange I find that they do the best bar soaps. Well, that was the initial purchase (O_O guilty look). Thereafter, due to earth day I mustard up a few more bars, uhmmmmm...... African salt scrub, a tea tree mask and seaweed moisturizer.  


 Then, the wonderful world of Macy’s had a "friends and family" sale with a voucher in hand I thought it was a essential to stock up on my Clinique clarifying lotion, whilst there rummaging around the bags I snagged this beautiful, rich and vibrant clutch. Perfect accessory for a dinner I have coming up shortly, at 8 dollars absolute bargain.


Perhaps, the best of them all Conway …………..let me take a moment……………..Oh, I love, love, love their stuff. Focus, which I had to constantly remind myself while I was in the store. I picked up a few ‘knick/naps’ as well as two lovely hand bags (purses?) my everyday bag was drifting away slowly (painful death). I decided to add a pop of colour to my life with this vibrant purple. Speaking, off vibrant I really did like the shades and tints of blue a great accessory for the jeans I grabbed at the gap. An encounter I am far to embarrassed to relay – basically there was an unbelievable sale of all knit wear for 99cents and slightly damaged jeans. I am ashamed to admit how many I picked up. 


I now dwindle on to finish snacking and submerge into pointless tele, spark my interest in a few reads before bed.“xoxo Dye” clearly far to many episodes of gossip girl, already :D.
