Handbag and Book with guest author Laura Haley McNeil - Has her purse seen better days? #favoriteaccessories #shoppingatNeimanMarcus #MFRWauthor


As you look at this picture of my favorite purse, you are probably hoping this purse has seen better days, and you would be right. At the time, I was dating someone who loved to attend plays and musicals at our downtown auditorium and I took advantage of these dates because I loved to dress up. I had a beautiful lace dress and wanted to accessorize it with the perfect shoes, purse and wrap. 

I found this purse at Neiman Marcus and knew this purse would look fabulous with my dress. When I bought the purse, I almost choked at the cost, but I had to own it. Nowadays the cost doesn’t seem like much but at the time it was a fortune. Sadly, the dress suffered a dry cleaner mishap and is long gone, but I’ll never part with this purse. It’s still my favorite though it sits in a box in my closet. 

As the top ranked student at Charleston’s military academy, Preston Lowe excels in class, in sports and with women. Only Willow Dockery, a barmaid at the city’s trendy nightclub, sees the pain in his eyes when he’s out with friends having a good time. But Willow doesn’t know how Preston inwardly struggles to forget a past that could derail the career he’s worked hard to achieve. 
Willow wrestles with her own secrets. After a disastrous relationship leaves her broke and disillusioned, she vows never to let anyone rob her of her dreams again. But as she gets to know Preston, it’s as if their tumultuous pasts meld together into something so startling it transforms their relationship and their lives forever.

Answer these questions:

Red, White or Blue? I love everything white, especially weddings. When summer comes, I’m happy to pull out all my white outfits.

Spring, Summer, Fall, Winter? I love summer. There’s so much to do outdoors and I love being outside, even if it’s working in the garden or taking a walk. I am planning my summer vacation the day after Christmas.

Chocolate pudding, cake, pie? If it’s chocolate, I’m not that particular, though I have to admit I love a chocolate cake with rich creamy chocolate frosting.

Coffee, Tea, Champagne? If it’s  Starbuck’s macchiato or Frappuccino, then I’d have to say coffee, but  I love a cup of tea on a cold winter’s day.

Country music or Michael Buble? I hadn’t heard of Michael Buble so I looked him up and I’d have say I enjoyed listening to his music. I love easy jazz.

Pencil or Pen? If it has  a thick tip, I’m not particular, but pen does look better on paper. Blue pen looks wonderful.
