Fall for dresses

You know my love affair with dresses by now! And just because the weather is turning cooler does not mean pretty dresses need to be put away to the back of your closet. Not for me! The pretty one above in a classic blue and white check is from J. Crew. It is a classic shirt dress with long sleeves and belt. Every lady should own a good shirt dress. So get shopping! Oh and a good strand of big pearls, real of faux will add another classic touch to your classic look. Paired with slingback pumps from Issac Mizrahi.

This stunning subtle animal print dress is from Adrianna Papell. I love the neckline and the fabric is a knit woven material. Which means it has plenty of give and if feels great.

Live beautiful,

I Love Autumn

Autumn is truly a magical time.  Cool crisp days and nights.  Falling leaves, beautiful bright golden colors, college football and pumpkin spice everything!  But... Let's not forget the fashions!

I especially love this outfit I put together for an evening of fundraising a few weeks ago. The blouse with  flowing sleeves and gorgeous gold color is one of my favorites and I am happy to see the spring-summer trend continue to the fall and winter.  I love gold jewelry and found some long necklaces that complemented the whole look.

The velvet skirt is so comfortable thanks to a bit of stretch in the material and I love the lady like length.  But these shoes make me smile.  They are suede, playful and (the magic word)...comfy!!  Who woulda thunk it?  I wanted to add a bit of texture and knew I wanted some fishnet style hosiery.

I was thrilled to find a black floral pattern to complete the look.  Color, comfort and a bit of glamorous fall style!

Wishing you a fabulous day ahead!
