autumn

Mani Monday

Today’s mani is inspired by the beautiful colors of autumn. Starting with the thumb, I used Holo Taco “Holo Cappuccino,” Bésame Cosmetics “Holiday Red,” Holo Taco “Box Office Bomb,” “Need I Say Mocha?,” and “Espresso Your Holo.” I think it’s the perfect combination of shades for fall!

Sartorial Saturday–Pants and a Jacket

I am so ready for autumn! I’ve been going through my wardrobe, looking for cool-weather pieces I already have the I haven’t worn together yet. The first items that jumped out at me were the Elke-Amber short blazer and the Brindy-Dora swing pants…they’re the perfect color palette for fall!

I accessorized with my favorite hat, orange and brown Splendette Duchess Bangles, and an Erstwilder brooch. I also wore a ring over my golden velvet gloves.

I love the way the whole look turned out!

I’m really looking forward to actually being able to wear my autumn clothes instead of just styling them…hopefully in the not-too-distant future!

Fall at the Library

Ginkgo trees are some of my favorites for their unusual, fan-shaped leaves, but I especially love them in the fall, when they turn bright yellow. The carpet of leaves outside our library is especially beautiful!
