Hello Dear Readers! I hope this week finds you well. The cool weather snapped in, so I snapped back. I went through some recent photos and am featuring Sam and I, at my house, dressed for something happy. Isn't that what Fancy is all about?  Celebration, yes?

I always enjoy shoots with Sam. She is so simple to style, as she is perfect as she is. Also, I am fond of her, and it is nice to spend time together. I styled her with a leather croc embossed skirt by Nanette Lapore, ( 4 years old)  a silk and lace blouse by J. Mendel, via eBay.

The gorgeous ruby and pearl choker is from KCSignatures.com is one of a kind, and so is sold out, but here is a malachite necklace from them that also makes a statement - worn high on the neck, it is a glam collar!

Above, and below you get a good shot of the choker and lace blouse, as well as Sam's serene beauty.

This close-up shots helps show what is special about what we are wearing, the beautiful workmanship, lavish lace, and the rarity of the jewelry and bags, makes these clothes a treat to wear. I am glad I was able to buy them at such reasonable prices, secondhand mostly.

I hope you like this photo, I love creative shots, and these shoes are something.!

This last shot is a bit faded from the sun. Do you notice how tall I am always standing?

I did two Polyvore sets to provide links to what I and Samantha are wearing or items similar to them. This is a rendition of what I am wearing, see it here. Visit Polyvore for both sets and the links.

This is a version of what Sam is wearing, the J. Mendel blouse is the same, and priced so well. J.Mendel blouses are usually 4 figures.  I also want to say there are gorgeous beaded blouses from Adrianna Papell on eBay and Etsy.  One of my favorites is here on eBay, and is a great bargain.

I hope your week is off to a wonderful start!
