The bright crazy intricate designed dress

I did a HORRIBLE job of Frocking this Friday. I did wear a frock trouble is... I only took two darn pictures. And I didn't even get the whole darn dress!! (That's your fault Mr.)
I was very rushed today as Mr. still had to go do his last shift before the weekend. So I rushed out the door to go to the "Bag sale" Thrift. I didn't find too much this time. These pics were taken in front of a cute old house on the same street as bag sale. (I love that little front porch area.)
I bought this dress in a (Buy 1 get one free sale) The total was $5.00 so I suppose I paid $2.50
I am crazy about this big giant ring. It makes me think of black licorice whenever I wear it.
Here is the daisy headband I got from Des. http://pullyoursoxup.blogspot.ca/
When I look at this picture it creeps me out. I think it has a weird trance vibe to it. It has to do with my eyes and the top leaves on the headband... "YOU ARE GETTING VERY SLEEPY STARE INTO MY EYES"
*GAHHHHHHH*
Am I crazy or do you get what I am saying?

(I adore this headband so much!! I have always loved Daisies)
I wore a daisy hair flower almost all last summer.
I have a purple dress I want to wear this one with. It was too wrinkled to frock up into today. But that's probably a good thing since I totally didn't snap much pics.
This is the one Mom wore Yesterday in her Birthday photo.
Thank you all for wishing her a Happy Birthday I am going to get her to read your comments soon. (I know she will be thrilled with the ones saying her and I look alike...) because I used to always swear I was adopted. Most people don't see a resembelance between My Mom & Dad and I.
Fuzzy photo but this headband is very pretty. The whole base is green leaves and then the roses on top!
Thank you very much Des & Stylist for doing your fun little giveaway & for the Stylist pulling out my name!!! *WOOOT WOOOT*
Something else came to Canada for me this week.
It was a gift from Em!!
(I love cute packaging)
Em sent me a LOBSTER, PRAWN, CLAM, SHELL apron she bought at Kylie's garage sale!!!
OMG!!! I love it immensely. I am going to wear it the next time I bake (Which will have to be soon now) Also in the package was those red & black leopard earrings. I loved the card... and instantly thought "mmmm Tomato soup" Then I realized... it wasn't soup... it was tea! *hhaha*
Thank you Em!
Lastly thank you to those who became a "Liker" on my Facebook store page.
I was having a horrible time figuring out how to do and work all the stuff on there. (Then I finally realized) I was supposed to have a "Personal facebook account" So I could be (A Administrator to the page.) So all in all I had to create ANOTHER facebook account so I could actually properly run that page and "LIKE" other businesses and stuff.
My name on there is Melanie Sparkle. I tried Melanie Coconut and I got a message saying (They didn't think that that was a legitimate name.) But yet ... I tried Melanie Sparkle... and it worked like a charm. *LOL* *Roll eyes*
~* Have a good weekend Everyone *~

Update: Eyeglasses (fit for a clown)

Here I am to update you on my glasses. Normally a post like this would probably not be at all humorous.. but this one just might. (Let me grab a re-fill on my coffee and then I will continue this little story.) All right here we go.

On Thurs the 10th I ordered my two sets of glasses. Shipping time was estimated a week, so I was VERY surprised when my glasses arrived on Mon the 14th *Holy heck* fast shipping.

I excitedly opened the package glass case number one was the lucky brand (black frames)tried them on and INSTANTLY loved them!!
Case number two Kam Dhillon (purple ray-ban style) I opened the case and first thought was.. "Jeaz these are a little huge" Thinking it was just my eyes I walked to the bathroom and put them on looking in the mirror. I wanted to laugh but was so confused as to "WHAT was the person that made these glasses smoking?!?" Now some people might like these.. they may fit someones style. BUT HECK NO!! Not me!!!
I knew they would have to be returned, lucky for me the business accepts returns and even pays the return shipping. (Now that is a great business)
Now I knew I had to take some pics for you guys of these glasses before I packaged them back up within hrs of receiving them only to send back for a credit to get another pair.

But first glasses Pros & Con's


Pros
-They were purple (I like purple)

Con's
- They were way wider than my actual face.
- They made my eyes look weird.
-The 4 times I put them on I felt like I could get hired to do children's Birthday party's.
- I felt like a 80s geeky secretary.
- My cheek bones do not require to be framed in glass and my ears to not need any magnifying either.



So now I wait for my account to be credited.. so I can once again pick out another pair of frames. I really wanted something Ray-Ban-ish. But I do not want to have to make yet another return.. So I am thinking I will go for some tortoiseshell rectangular frames. And hopefully come across a nice pair of vintage specs within the next 6 months to fill with my prescription. It looks as though it will be a ongoing battle. By the next year I could have 5 pairs of glasses.

I will let you know what I ended up getting when I get another knock at my door in the early a.m. from the FedEx man.

Here's a cute little video if you have some time to pass.
