First Snow

Where I live, we have cold winters. Not Chicago cold, but still. Snow is not a stranger, and growing up, my cousin and I would always be delighted to have fresh snow for her November birthday. So far this winter, we've had nada!

Last month I had my mother/personal stylist, put me on her calendar for January 8th to do my color. How fun is it that on the morning of the 8th that I got to wake up to snow?! It goes perfectly with my new hair color and red lips, don't you think? Plus I got to have fun putting my Hunters to their waterproof test!

Well, It's Official...

You know that look some folks give you when you wear white after Labor Day? Well, that's the look I'm giving deep down inside when I see or hear people trying to rush my beloved summer. Today's the day, though, that I have to embrace all the boot talk and chilled breezes. After all, it's the first day of fall.

Earlier I mentioned that this was the first year that I am actually looking forward to allowing fall layers to overwhelm my wardrobe. Here are a few key fall staples to look out for this season as you peruse your favorite shops, latte in hand.


1) Be bold with your lip color:

2) A scarf will give you infinite possibilities:

3) Find a jacket that provides enough conversation as it does warmth:

4) Remember, leather pulls everything together:

5) Try on my go to bootie for size:
