Blog It Forward ~ Splenderosa

Good Morning all!!

I am happy to report that I am back and not permanently lost in that wine cellar where you left me on Friday afternoon...

um...elegantly wasted?

I hope you had a great weekend and that you are ready for the next instalment in my Blog it Forward Series, where I introduce you to some of my favourite bloggers and their gorgeous blogs.

This week we are going glam ... not glam in a small way, but G. L. A. M in a big way!!!

Are you ready for...

" Gems of Glamour"

from

The Fabulous Marsha

at

SPLENDEROSA

Marsha and I both feature this image in our respective blog headers and I know one other gal who also adores this image.

Totally luscious...hey ladies?

Lets get started. Just a quick explanation of how it works. I sent Marsha twenty random questions to answer and then I get to play on her blog and select some of my favourite images to include. I had a great time surfing all the older posts on her blog, which seems to be easier than on most other blogs, which meant that I have now got a huge file full of glamour!

Marsha is a talented jewelry designer and I just had to show you a few of my favourites before we get going...

I really enjoy these colours together.

Love love love both!!

My favourites!

 

Okay friends lets hear from the glam girl from Texas...

Twenty Random Questions: Marsha

So stunning!

How do you pamper your soul?

Oh, in so many little ways. My doggies, Bono & FiFi give me such pleasure. Reading late at night. Walking in our beautiful Memorial Park, which is huge, we have a 3-mile jogging trail there and once you make a commitment to walk, you just do it. Getting my hair done 2x a week

Bono

Name three things on your bucket list that you would like to do or that you have done 

Have a big beautiful Christmas party, with musicians.
Be 27 again.
Move to Sorrento, Italy, where my soul resides.

What a stunning place...would totally visit you there Marsha!! I will buy the olive oil on the way...
Sorrento has such a great vibe.

What is on your bedside table?

Kindle Fire

Blue/White Lamp

A little cushion my son gave me

 Secret indulgence?

I’m not really secret about things I love.

Oh, goodness, I love antique shops all over the world, and art galleries

Your favourite magazines

Goddess gorgeous...

Please tell us which city you live in and then which is your dream destination

Houston, and I already said Sorrento, Italy...can you imagine anything more opposite?

Beautifully done mosaic...

What makes you laugh?

Jim Carrey, outrageousness, good gossip, movies

I always enjoy these paired images that Marsha does, you will see that I have included quite a few of them.

Sweet intoxication…what does this phrase evoke in your mind?

Cartier fragrance “So Pretty”

Glam and opulent...

Any hidden talents?

Actually I can do so many things (or at least I try). Cooking, no one expects me to be able to cook, but I can and I love it.

Delectable delightful delicious....

Your signature dish in the kitchen?

Grilled Salmon
 Hmmmm.... I am coming over....

What does luxury mean to you?

Everything. It means everything to me. Even the most simple things can be luxurious if you take the time. Ironed sheets, the ultimate luxury. Beautiful white linens perfectly ironed and tended.

If I was to make a movie about you, who should I cast to play you?

Carol Lombard, I think, with a little Kate Hudson thrown in.

I always enjoy the answers to this question....
Glamorous and vivacious combo!

I am giving you one day off from all of your daily responsibilities…what will you do?

Go to NYC for lunch with my girlfriends.

How about lunch here?

Getting out of Houston where it’s too hot to stay in town. Colorado, Santa Barbara, Cote d’Azur

What influences your style?

Well at this point in my life I have my own style, developed & refined over time. But I always want to be current, so I would say JEWELRY, handbags, shoes. A couple of fabulous black outfits with a collection of different accessories can take you around the world effortlessly.

Shoes or handbag?

  Handbag !! Bottega is my most coveted and desired accessory (but no, I don’t have one).

Bit of an unfair question, I Know!

Dearest Marsha is always so inclusive and invited me to my very first linky party in blogland and gave me much encouragement and a huge amount of glamorous inspiration. Her blog is always a fab stop over for me.

The best part of your day is…

Late evening, when all is peaceful, watching a great movie with my 2 doggies sitting beside me.

A glass of lovely wine, and maybe a cheese stick :)’s

I will join you in that glass of wine...
