country finds - good shopping & the perfect oxfords

While in Fayetteville, AR my grandmother & I went in search of good shopping. And we succeeded! My favorite shop was a wonderful place called Masons with carefully selected designer frocks, coats, tops, jeans, shoes, jewelry, etc, etc. I came home with this beautiful etched brass necklace & these perfectly perfect Sam Edelman oxfords.
Chic finds in Arkansas! Who'd have thought?!

I'm off to Arkansas this afternoon for a long weekend with
grandma :-)
I decided not to wear my bikini to the airport this time.
Bon voyage!

my hometown

I'm off to the beautiful state of Arkansas later this week to visit mi abuelita.
In thinking about my place of birth, The Natural State, I recently discovered this photo of 60's rock 'n' roll band, Black Oak Arkansas & had to share it. The band was originally called Knowbody Else, until they moved to L.A. and changed their name to Black Oak Arkansas, after their hometown. Described as "pure southern-fried rock", the lead singer Jim 'Dandy' (not Jim Bob?) Mangrum's voice was known for its raw sexual energy.
I'm having visions of spandex-infused performances by hillbilly hippies. How about you?
