This is one of my favorite places for photos because of the stunning panoramic views. It's well worth the tinge of vertigo that I experience on the way up just for the scenery...oh, and if I appear to be thinner in any way, I cannot take credit for that. Despite being loyal to my workout routine, I have to give credit where it's due. These James Jeans have a slimming effect and the way they mold to the body is very much appreciated.

The handbag is a recent thrift store score. I always wonder what my closet would look like if I'd developed a thrifting habit much earlier. Due to the unpredictable pricing strategies at the stores my in my area, I've been fortunate enough to score some gems, including this bag. While other shoppers around me overlooked it, I immediately grabbed it. Later, in the back of the store, I encountered that exact same bag in brown, except for $10 more. I'm dying to discover the mysteries of how thrift stores determine their prices because in my experience, there seems to be no rhyme or reason.
