A Different Point of View

So now that my photographer, Kaelynn, has gone off to college the hubby has had to step in. Shall we unveil his name soon? Still in the training mode but he is doing alright. This maroon, burgundy, plum or whatever you want to call it is one of "the" colors for fall. So beautiful and rich and perfect to go into the holidays and those cold winter months. Here is another sheer blouse to throw on over a tank for a different look. I like it just for that reason. It's different and interesting. Throw on a pair of cheetah shoes to make the look even funkier.

Why not try a hat with it? Another cute accessory for fall.

Cool It: “Keep a tube of aloe vera gel in the freezer. Let it sit at room temperature for 10 minutes then squeeze out a few cool, icy drops onto your fingers and massage your under-eye area gently in both directions. The aloe acts as an anti-inflammatory and the massage helps reduce morning swelling.” —Dr. David Colbert, founder of New York Dermatology

Do The Tea Trick: “Apply cold compresses using soaked, chilled tea bags, which will help shrink blood vessels fast.” —Dr. Elizabeth Tanzi, Co-director of the Washington Institute of Dermatologic Laser Surgery in   Washington, DC

I can't believe my favorite season is coming to an end. Labor Day weekend is upon us in just four days.   It has been a mixed bag this summer. Wonderful beach week with the kids and my siblings. Our youngest has gone off to college and we are now empty nesters. I have chosen to embrace it and the hubby and I are spending more time together which is a lot of fun. I am really enjoying being a "couple" again.  Time just goes by too fast but Fall also brings a new and invigorating time. But you know what? I am also looking forward to this new season. It is a beautiful time here in DC with the leaves changing, the crisp air, the beginning of football season and all the  fashion of course. Thanks for following my blog. I truly appreciate each and every one of you. xxxx

Fab Finds: Drape Top

This beautiful top would look great on so many people. Wear it with skinny jeans or slim slacks. Whatever suits you best. Throw on a pair of flat shoes or boots and a blazer and you are ready to go. If you are petite you can wear a wedge shoe. Add some pizzaz to your ensemble and put some dangle earrings and bangles with it or add a belt as well. Definitely try a patterned flat with it too which will bring out the fun in you girl. Click below to see where you can get this beautiful top.

Boyfriend Jeans

The boyfriend jeans are meant to be slouchy and comfy and should look like your boyfriend gave you his old ones. I never had the desire to throw a pair of these on but they really have grown on me. They are a staple in my sister's wardrobe and you have probably seen them on celebs like Jen Anniston and Halle Berry. The trick is to know what to wear them with. Shoes are the key. Here you seem them with a pair of leopard wedges. They also look great with pointy high heels or pointy flats. Since they have a very boyish fit I threw on a very flowy and feminine blouse with it.
