Sunset reflections...

     I enjoy the glorious sunset of a balmy fall evening as I look forward to the week ahead and all the new adventures it has to offer.

     Wishing you a week filled with accomplishments, joy and style.

Mid-Week Get Away...Hoboken

      Last week we took a mid-week get away into Hoboken, NJ.  As a child I lived in Hoboken and whenever possible I love any opportunity to go back and walk the streets of this beautiful city.  Although it has been many, many years since I was officially a resident, I still consider myself a Hobokener at heart.  We spent a day taking in the sites, gazing out into the New York skyline and stopping along the way enjoying the endless restaurant options. 

Hello Hoboken!

Hoboken's Waterfront.

Hanging with my special man...

Need I say more...

Lunch...must have Quinoa Salad.

 Spectacular view of the New York Skyline...

A perfect fall day!

     It always seems too long before I get back to my beloved Hoboken.  This city provides you with endless options to relax, create new memories and enjoy yourself at every turn.

As ever,

Autumn's Golden Glow...

     Although I would prefer it to be summer all year long, fall is also a very special season.  Fall weather reminds us of the warm summer days we have enjoyed but cools down just enough to prepare us for the cold days, which lie ahead.  Although the glowing and radiant sunsets are majestic, fall means much more to me, it is the season when I began dating my husband.  This October marks the 36th anniversary of our first date.  So, to me fall is not only a change in season it is about a romance and celebration of a first date anniversary which mark the beginning of our future together.

Reminiscing...

  

          I reminisce about our first date and how it was a glorious fall day, which we spent taking pictures of the country side and ended with dinner at a local Italian Restaurant.  As they say, the rest is history...

Happy Thoughts...

Looking forward to many more fall seasons...

    As far as I can tell, our lives are like the change of seasons, summer, fall, winter, and spring.  We accept the invitation to embrace the changes which mold and shape us,  we acknowledge the new joys and experiences which drift in and out of our lives daily and we fashion and style our life by smiling and happily succumbing to the beauty of each new season. Wishing you a Happy Fall!

As ever,

Wedding Attire...

     On a rainy stormy October afternoon, we attend our nephew and his beautiful bride's wedding.   On the days leading up to the big event, I invest some time and make a decision on what to wear for the happy event.  This time around I shopped my closet and reworked a classic ruffled collar Lafayette 148 sleeveless blouse with a full bell shaped skirt.  I paired it with a doubled sided triangular shaped shawl with tassels on all three points, which I have had over 20 years.  The accessories were all vintage along with my Badgley Mischka crystal brooch shoes.  To my delight I was comfortable and felt a sense of accomplishment recycling what I already owned.

My Husband...so handsome!

My sons Adam (full beard) and Michael...so handsome... 

Our Beautiful Daughter-in-Law Kate...

     Somehow we as a family attended with a black, white and grey ensemble story.  In as much as I would like to take credit for coordinating the family, it all came together very naturally.   So, is style innate?  I vote YES!

As ever,
