All these adorable faux-fur toppers are under $50 from ASOS. Any favorites? I think I’m partial to the first one, although the fourth one is slightly amazing in a hilarious way.

Pretty, Pretty Purple

To me, this is glorious. Purple is such a lovely color with so many hues and varieties. It’s just as beautiful in the fall/winter as it is in the spring/summer. The surrounding Jacarandas obviously bring the color to life (and make me desperate for spring) but the color itself is also moving. Purple can be worn by people of all complexions and hair colors. I especially want to mix a lavender blouse with a plum pant. I’m even partial to a dark violet smoky eye.

When Nothing Goes Right

Do you ever have one of those days when nothing is working? Yeah, they are usually Mondays.  Anyway, these things are uplifting me from my melancholy.

Charlize looking super cute and snuggly…

Emma Enchanted

I’m a fan of Emma Watson’s. She seems to have a good head on her shoulders and has grown up to be lovely young woman. Plus I love the pixie cut. If I were contractually obligated not to cut my hair, I’d probably chop it too.

Autumn in Italy

According to Garance Doré, Italy is absolutely lovely in the Fall. I have to say, I think any of us would enjoy ourselves in this beautiful country, autumn or otherwise. It’s been almost 10 years since I was in Italy as a youngin’ and I’m dying to go back.

The thought of swimming in the Mediterranean, eating figs and prosciutto, lazing about and exploring. I could dig it.

This beautiful editorial makes me want to incorporate long, flowing dresses with warm jackets and bouncy curls.
