The Loft: Driving Me Wild!

There is such a thing as love at first sight.

I felt it this morning on Ann Taylor Loft’s website.

“Oh, it’s just lust,” I told myself and slowly backed away from the computer.

After all, hadn’t I fallen for a cleverly disguised, old lady hat a few days ago? How could I have ever thought that ugly hat was chic? Ugh!

But I digress…

A bagel and two cups of coffee later, I returned to the computer and submitted my Ann Taylor Loft order.

Below are the objects of my affection:



Here's a closer look at the necklace:



This chocolate zebra-print cardi (also available in pink) and necklace are so me! I’m pretty sure it’s love. I’ll know for sure when my order arrives in a couple of days.

Any spring or summer fashions turn your head lately? What’s in your shopping cart????

Stuck?

Here’s the scenario:

You signed a book contract and promptly blew your advance on make-up and cute shoes.

Good for you!

But now you’re STUCK on page 100 with at least 250 more pages to write.

Operation Prince Charming - Coming August 2010

I am so excited to finally tell y'all all about my upcoming release. Here's the scoop:


Operation Prince Charming
Phyllis Bourne

Dorchester Publishing
ISBN-10: 0843963905
ISBN-13: 978-0843963908

Detective Hunter Coleman has a lesson to learn. A lesson in etiquette. At least that’s what his suddenly wealthy girlfriend thinks. Now that she has to entertain socialites, Hunter is going to have to brush up on his p’s and q’s. This detective’s next assignment is a “Manners Makeover” at the Spencer School of Etiquette.

But Hunter finds he is more interested in his lessons than he thought he would be. Actually, it’s his teacher, Ali Spencer, who has caught his interest. All he seems to think about is smudging her perfect lipstick with long, hot kisses and upsetting her practiced poise with the most improper proposals. With his fiancée out hunting bigger game, Hunter realizes that good manners are no match for basic instincts, and he’s got all the charm he needs to win the woman he really loves.

OPERATION PRINCE CHARMING is available for pre-order at Borders, Books-A-Million, Barnes and Noble and Amazon! And at your favorite bookstore July 27, 2010.

So what are you waiting on - pre-order it!
