October Wish List – Top 3

Have you checked out Anthro’s new arrivals yet? If so, what did you all think about the pieces?  I’m only loving a handful of things this month and surprisingly I didn’t love any of the new dresses either.  As I’ve mentioned before, I’m ready for fall in the worst way.   And ever since I checked out Anthropologie’s online catalog for October, I’m really hoping for cooler weather sooner rather than later. Here are my top 3 items from Anthropologie for the month of October. Do any of you have any favorites that you can’t live without this month?  What’s on the top of your wish list?

Fresh Picks to Follow – Black and Blue

If you’re like me, I’m sure at some point in your life you’ve heard numerous fashion faux pas, such as don’t wear white after Labor Day, never mix patterns, don’t wear denim on denim and don’t wear black and blue together.  As you know, many fashionistas have long believed that those fashion faux pas are outdated and that it’s time to break the rules.  One rule that will be broken this fall is the color combination of black and blue.  These two colors have been paired together by major designers like Carolina Herrera, DKNY and Marc by Marc Jacobs.  To achieve this look, try grabbing a cobalt blue or navy blue top and pair it with black slacks or a skirt.  For this week’s Fresh Picks to Follow, here are my top 10 ways to take your black and blues combination to anything other than bruises. What do you think about this color trend? Let me know in the comments.

Moody Style: One Fall Day

A few days ago, I woke up to cool, crisp, fall weather and I loved every second of it.  The reason I say every second of it because it was very short lived.  The cool weather only lasted about 4 hours.  And by the time I left work and walked to my car, I was extremely hot in my sweater and nearly sweating my tail off.  I couldn’t believe that the weather had warmed up to the high 80’s.  And I know that I really shouldn't have been so surprised by the hot weather, but I was nonetheless.  Although, the cooler weather has not made its way down to Florida permanently, I’m glad that I had the chance to enjoy one fall day even if it was for a few hours. Enjoy the rest of your week!
