There and Back

I hope everyone had a wonderful Thanksgiving. The day after Thanksgiving we took a short camping trip up North. Luckily it did not rain, but it was freezing during the night. I had the hardest time sleeping in the tent. Half the time I was freaked out about some noises I heard, but my husband reassured me it would not attack us. Maybe posting a picture of myself with only a few hours of sleep is not the best idea, but I love my top I got from Milena (she has made some beautiful hand knits recently) and I have not gone a day without wearing my Matta scarf from Michelle's shop Pretty Mommy. My schedule has been crazy lately, and taking a good chunk of time off from blogging was the best thing for me, but I think it is about time I start again. 

Jewelry Box

All of these pieces make me drool. I learned of Jessica Winzelberg's jewelry from Joanna's amazing blog. I love the bracelets from dull Diamond I need that pair! Such eye candy! The Odette bracelet has been on my wish list for a while now, as well as the Aesa and Mociun pieces... I need a sugar daddy.

Ermie FW 11

I love the Canyon Print by Jennifer of Ermie. It makes me happy.

I Sing the Body Electric

Beautiful look book from Electric Feathers F/W 11 collection.

A Detacher Spring 2012

 The color palette for the Spring 2012 A Detacher collection is perfect. The Marrimeko like flower patterns and the polka dots...sigh* And I can not wait to see the sandals in person.

Aren't these looks lovely?!

Getting in the mood for fall; tweed, plaids, oxfords, wool, cable knits, chunky scarves and the right  amount of je ne sais quoi.

Gratitude

Had a wonderful meal with my sister at Cafe Gratitude. I ordered, I am warmhearted; grilled polenta with fresh puttanesca sauce, topped with cashew ricotta and brazil nut parmesan...so good! For dessert the strawberry shortcake!

Built by Wendy Fall 11

Ooooh more Fall items trickling in. I love the royal blues and reds used in Built by Wendy's Fall 2011 collection. 

I am still wearing my light cotton tops and dresses, but these two looks are making me excited for the fall season.

No. 6 AW11

Love it all.

No. 6

The last two weeks flew by so quickly. I think I tried to squeeze every ounce of Summer I could. I have been recuperating from too much traveling, family functions, and recently a load of paperwork (yuck!) 

The highlight was my youngest sister's wedding it was lovely and amazing.

O is now a bonafied kindergartener. She is beyond thrilled...on her first day as I watched the other parents and children tearing up, she nonchalantly hung up her jacket and forgot to say bye to me. I love that she loves school.

Pinning

My secret addiction is Pinterest. I honestly thought I would tire of it, but I can not stop.

*Thank you Belinda... I finally figured out how to add the button to my blog : )

Wishing

Winning the lottery would be great right about now. I love the print and cut of the Vertilla dress from Isabel Marant. And the Dixie Boots...i love them! The lower heel is ideal and the color is perfect. I have IM boots in leather and they have aged well. The suede material concerns me.

Wipe Out

This post may not be the most exciting, but I had to share these face wipes by Blum Naturals. They are great for travel, camping, or just wiping the sweat off on a hot day. I love these! I was never into face wipes...reminds me too much of baby wipes, but these are on a different level. I use the dry and sensitive skin wipes (they have a whole range) it is scented with organic chamomile and they smell wonderful. The wipes completely take the make up off and does not leave the skin tight.

On another note: I have been using Josie Maran's Argan oil and it is amazing! Moya of Frockstyle mentioned the Josie Maran Argan Oil Hair Serum...and it has worked wonders. Thanks Moya for the recommendation! I put a few drops in my hair, tie my hair up in a bun, and the next day I have shiny wavy hair! Crazy, since I usually have dull straight hair.
