Monday...in the key of V

It's a Monday. 'Nuff said. As I certainly have a "case of the Mondays," the only way to combat this is to post things that make me smile. So here goes.....this is my list of smile-inducing fashions.

This flowery beauty is putting the spring back in my step, especially on such a gray morning.

This necklace adds the perfect whimsical touch to the demureness of the dress.

(This dress and necklace is what I am wearing today)

The following frock is one that immediately caught my eye. Doesn't the color scheme remind you of an Eric Carle book? (The Hungry Caterpillar anyone?) You gotta wonder if the the designer took a cue from the hues of Mr. Carle. (sorry had to rhyme there)

And now for one last dash of whimsy (can't get away from that, can I?)

Alrighty, friends, I should probably do some actual work now. I wish for puppies and rainbows and cupcakes for you all today. And if anyone wants to send me a cupcake, I shan't refuse.

Hands...in the key of V

start

verb (used without object)

1.

to begin or set out, as on a journey or activity.

2.

to appear or come suddenly into action, life, view, etc.; rise or issue suddenly forth.

So what exactly am I doing here? If you know me well, you know I am a bit of a wordsmith. I love words. The way different words feel in your mouth. The way they taste. I love how certain words evoke certain emotions and visions. [A couple favorites are conjure, endure, enchant, and intrigue]. Things like onomatopoeia and alliteration get me excited. So, what better way to start my blog than with a definition of the word start? This definition tells me I am beginning on a journey. Through my writing on various thoughts, opinions, dreams, etc. I plan to learn about myself a bit more--to  journey deeper into what makes my heart skip a beat and speaks to my soul. My focus in this blog will be fashion, decor, music, wordplay, and the occasional random musing.  I plan on being completely self-indulgent with this, so without further ado...

My secret dream is to become a hand model. Yes, just like Joey on Friends. My hands are probably my favorite physical feature. Now, I have no idea how to go about looking into this. I guess I should Google it.

Okay.....I'm back. And of course, there is a Wiki-how of just what to do to become a hand model in five easy steps. http://www.wikihow.com/Become-a-Hand-Model
Well, I already know I have awesome hands so I can skip steps 1 and 2. On to step 3. Create a portfolio. I guess that makes sense. Regular models have portfolios, so hand models do too. Alrighty then, here is picture number one.

Bear in mind I just took this picture in crappy light with my not-so-stellar IPAD camera, by pushing the capture button with my nose (I couldn't hold the IPAD and hit the button at the same time.) What do you think? Do I have the potential?

Happy Friday everyone!!!
