Where oh where did the weekend go? It seems like we blink and two days have once again just flown by. We had a great weekend, home enjoying the pool and we started our week of dog sitting. Plus I finally got a chance to style my new bag from Bellorita. Does it not remind you of the Dr Seuss Rhyme? One Fish, Two Fish, Red Fish, Blue Fish, or in this case blue Fish Blue Fish.
Weekends with Pups
First let’s talk weekend, Lou and Wolfie have been getting reacquainted. One monstrous Husky/Shepherd mix and one tiny tortie becoming fast friends. Wolfie has been over to visit but this is his first staycation. Mom and Dad have gone on a little trip so he is staying with us. As much as I am a cat woman not a dog lady, Wolfie is a dream. Plus he is getting me out for daily walks to help with my step count.
and in the meantime, Lou has taken over the dog bed and Wolfie gets the floor.
The rest of the weekend was poolside, with great drinks and awesome food. Kent made a simple stunning Sirloin roast with all the fixings. Not to be outdone I of course made Margarita Pie again.
Work Week Stripes in a J Crew Dress
The look today is classic Linda. Black and white stripes, patterned shoes and a fun bag. Plus the unforgettable statement necklace. I have owned a Black and white J Crew dress that was always on repeat. The perfect silhouette and it has pockets. Always on the hunt for another similar dress I finally found it. ironically still back and white but still everything I love.
Today I added my Cynthia Rawley linen cardigan and a fun statement necklace from 7 Charming Sisters. The shoes are Show dazzle and I have owned them for a while. A sling back with the perfect kitten heel. And obviously a fun leather bag that really makes a statement.( Thanks Bellorita for the most amazing gift)
Bellorita and my One Fish, Two Fish
Can we just take a moment and admire my new bag from Bellorita. I mean how fun is this. The company contacted me a few weeks ago and how could I refuse. Like the company states they do not just create handbags they create art.This beautifully textured black leather and pearl embellished clutch is truly a masterpiece. Hand carved and sensitively blooming painted, the handbag features a delicate gold shoulder chain and short wrist strap. The pearls sparkle across the handbag, appearing as if the fish are blowing bubbles . As a bonus, it can also be worn as an elegant evening clutch bag.
Bellorita does not just carry just clutch or cross bodies. They have a full range of back backs, satchels, totes, should bags and even wallets. The story is unique a research scientist turned handbag designer. Jack Sun traded it all in, left the University of Southern Mississippi and trucked it over to LA. Starting over with a vision. . Bellorita has been a symbol to me – of good luck, happiness and of growth. I hope that it has further to take me yet.
Take a look at the beautiful selection, I am fascinated with the satchel and back backs, so you never know what might cross the blog next. Bellorita has graciously offered a 10% discount if you decide you would like to try one out on your own. Use LINDAC10

Hi Linda!
You caught my eye as I chose the same bag! I love it ! The pearls are so fab as bubbles and I love the design. It looks great with your striped dress and that white necklace is a head turner!

Love dress Linda. My daughter gave me a nice stripy dress but it is a little tight at the minute. I fancy treating myself to a new one, now I have seen yours 🙂
