So, I didn't win a leg lamp, but Cess at The Outfit Diaries awarded me something even better!

 

And I now have to tell you 7 things about me and tag 10 blogs with the awards.

Dress:H&M/Earrings,Necklace and vest:NY&Co/Shoes:Payless

1. While I live in Western Pennsylvania, I am an English Citizen...I moved to the States when I was almost 10 and I'm sad because I lost my accent.

2. I have a tattoo and James gave it to me. No, you can't see it!

3. I'm a pacifist, but one of my favorite movies is Die Hard. The others include:The Price of Milk, Emilie, Ondine,When Harry Met Sally...the list goes on

4. Tirimisu is my favorite dessert, I'll be honest, I call it orgasm on a plate.

5. I can be annoyingly bubbly.

6. I'm shy...no seriously, I am! I have a really hard time with one on one conversation, but I have no problem speaking in front of a room full of people, in fact I love it!

7. My right foot has been swollen for three years, but I still wear heels and feel angry when people advise me on my footwear!

Today I was working from home, so I dressed for comfort, and what could be easier or more comfortable than a maxi dress?

 

I still love the great color combination of this dress!

Dress:Pink Apple (remix)/Shoes:Target/Necklace:Made for me by oldest daughter, Savannah/Purple Beaded Bracelets:B.Moss/Blue Respect Bracelet: Special Olympics-Spread The Word To End The Word/Watch:Eddie Bauer

Meanwhile...Our Husky, Boomer was outside while we did pictures today, not to be outdone he said he loved me and asked if he could be in some pics. No, I'm not in need of medication, my dog speaks...kinda. He does this great "talking" like thing, and when we are lucky it sounds like he says "I love you!" It's the cutest! He is so fabulous and one of a kind. You can't see it in this picture but he has one blue eye and one brown...and oh yeah, he only has three legs. No, he didn't lose one in an industrial accident, he was born with a "stump" instead of a leg in back. Don't worry, he gets around just fine. When we go for a walk he drags me as if he's "mushing" through our neighborhood! He was born exactly as he was meant to be, with three legs. Just like the rest of us were born exactly as we were meant to be...fabulous!

To The "Max"

You like that don't you...how I'm wearing a maxi dress and did the whole play on words with the title? yup, I'm witty like that! Here's something else I'd like to "max" out (I just did it again)...my followers. I know some of you have visited more than once, so why not follow? I'm so grateful that in the past 3 weeks I've gained 41 people so far on Facebook and 10 here on Blogger and 8 on Bloglovin...but I'd love to see more. So do me a solid yo (hahahahaha!), click one of those buttons on the right hand of the screen to follow...show me some love! You can also visit the Just Fab Facebook page if you'd like! It'll cheer me up since my week "staycation" ends today!

For some final inspiration, here is Audrey Hepburn's favorite poem on beauty:

Audrey Hepburn's Beauty Tips

For attractive lips, speak words of kindness.

For lovely eyes, seek out the good in people.

For a slim figure, share your food with the hungry.

For beautiful hair, let a child run his or her fingers through it once a day.

For poise, walk with the knowledge you'll never walk alone.

People, even more than things, have to be restored, renewed, revived,  reclaimed, and redeemed; Never throw out anybody.

Remember, If you ever need a helping hand, you'll find one at the end of your arm.

As you grow older, you will discover that you have two hands, one for helping yourself, the other for helping others.

The beauty of a woman is not in the clothes she wears, the  figure that she carries, or the way she combs her hair. The beauty of a woman must be seen from in her eyes, because that is the doorway to her heart, the place where love resides.

The beauty of a woman is not in a facial mole, but true beauty in a woman is reflected in her soul. It is the caring that she lovingly gives, the passion that she shows, and the beauty of a woman with passing years only grows!

-Sam Levenson

Bohemian Rhapsody

Anyone who knows me should not be surprised that I am already invoking Queen songs! Ahhhh Freddie, lots of love to you in Rocker Heaven baby! But really, it's an appropriate title right?

 

I mean look at this dress! If it's not bohemian, I don't know what is! I'm not, I mean I like my lipstick and showers too much, but this dress lets me pretend for a day!

Dress, Pink Apple/Sweater, target/Belt, Elephant necklace and Ring, Ruche/Left hand bracelets, earrings and necklace, B. Moss/ Right hand Bracelet, gift from Dad and Carol/Shoes, Payless

 

Isn't this dress just the best combination of colors? I have to say, I am loving it, and it's so comfortable! Which is good, because I'll be wearing it tonight for Karaoke (yes, I really am THAT cheesy!). I will be singing my heart out to none other than?

You guessed it! Queen!
