Her hobbies, well every woman’s dream, the love of shopping. We would call her a personal fashionista picking up fantastic finds. Her wardrobe and shoes took up a whole wall confronted by stalls and racks of clothing with a bulging mass of chiffon, silk and conservative suits. Don’t stop there the more dazzling the better as she wore jewelry with every outfit from pearls and diamonds to the best of costume fashion that complimented every garment. Wait, we can’t stop at the clothing department. Her eyeglasses were just as fashionable, a dazzling fun accessory that she rocked with her sophisticated glittery rhinestone’s that always caught a great conversation.
