Wordless Wednesday: The Duchess Necklace from Harry Winston

 

Maelicious

Happy Birthday to one of my all time favorites: Mae West. Here are a few images and quotes from the legendary star.

"If I had ever depended on what other people were going to do with me, there would never have been a Mae West."

"Your real security is yourself. You know you can do it, and they can't ever take that away from you."

Happy Birthday Anne Elliot

 

Today is the birthday of my favorite literary characters: Anne Elliot.

There are shades of Anne that I see in myself.  That she always does her best to be kind and help when she can even when it's not appreciated!

I love that she gets a second chance at love on her own terms. Persuasion is my favorite Jane Austen. To me there is nothing better than reading about Anne and Frederick as they find each other once again.

Happy August

 

Dream Thought #134 : You have to break rules

 

“Sometimes you have to break rules to get what you need. Although I do feel that it’s also important that you know the rules before you break them.”
