anthropologie

Since I'm on a fall fashion kick, I feel the need to wax poetic on the beauty of the 1920s-inspired cloche hat. This bell-shaped beauty, which we are seeing more of this season, from the likes of Kate Spade and anthropolgie, has always been a favorite of mine. 

I'm so glad I bought a deep purple wool cloche from Target last year. It is nice and warm, covering my ears just so. Not to mention adorable. Good thing I left it here, so I can wear it this season. But I do plan to send it out to Oz, to have when the weather turns chilly there. A girl needs to be prepared for all weather, and do so stylishly. Don't you agree?

feeling it

 Even though we are having a spell of Indian Summer right now, in Ohio, and the temps are pretty warm, I'm definitely getting in the mood for fall fashion. Bring on the scarves, hats, boots, and sweaters! I am ready to layer and love it.

happy pink day!

In the little town in Ohio, where I'm staying, it is a rainy dreary day. A day for pink, to raise the spirits. And a day for chocolate chip cookies... yes, sounds good to me!

say it with stripes

Stripes never fail to catch my eye. There is something about the bold contrast of lines, especially when in black and white, that always looks chic, to me.
