Weekend Get Away...

     Enjoying the end of the fall season with a weekend trip to Rochester, NY.  We arrive in the Village of Pittsford, NY along the Erie Canal.  There was a snap of cold air but the skies were glorious!

Can you spell C-H-A-R-M-I-N-G?

It was cold but I was ready for it...faux fur headband!

Along the Canal Way Trail...Spectacular!

     We checked into The Del Monte Lodge and much to our delight was just as beautiful as the description on their website.

     We enjoyed the beautiful community of Pittsford, which neighbors Rochester.  I recommend you take time to visit. When we return I plan to go when we can enjoy the fall foliage.  Wishing you a Happy Holiday.  

As ever,

This week's obsession...Boucle Coat!

     I love all things furry and fuzzy.  It might be all too girly, but oh so much fun! This week my new obsession is this amazing reversible, boucle coat!  Although the coat reverses to a low pile puffer coat it is the boucle, which has me in love.  The curly, knobby and furriness of this coat has me all a flutter.

     I especially like the subtle pockets.  They are just enough to store your phone, key and a lipstick.

     The collar lends itself to endless possibilities.  I plan on adding a warm scarf, statement necklace, a large antique brooch or a vintage lurex scarf to showcase all the moods this unique coat can contribute to any occasion.

   This coat is definitely not shy but to me it brings a quiet sense of excitement!  Touchable and a party all wrapped up in a coat.  I like it!

As ever,

A Tabard...

     A Tabard, who knew?  A tabard is an open sided smock, inspired by what was worn by medieval knights.  Intrigued by the "tabard" so, off I went on the hunt and found my tabard at White House | Black Market.

     The tabard is a new alternative to the oversize tunic and sweater to pair over our skinny jeans and leggings.    

Kicking my heels...delighted with my tabard...

     I am certain I will be reaching for my tabard time and time again throughout the coming months.    I am thinking the tabard is a must have.  In fact, YES, you must have it. 

As ever,

The Silver Story...

     Silver, metallic and sparkle is no longer reserved for evening and formal occasions.  Silver is the neutral shoe with the OOO-La-La for all occasions' day or night.  The likes of Gucci, Sarah Jessica Parker, Coach and Christian Louboutin to name a few have captured the silver trend from the basic pump to the classic loafer.

      The reflective shine of the leather adds a sense of elevated sophistication and classic elegance.

     Often a trend is introduced and is embraced lightly but adding a silver shoe to your wardrobe, that is a must! Just kick up your heels and celebrate each and everyday decked out in a sleek pair of silver shoes.

    Silver shoes for day or night? Absolutely!  I can't think of a better way to add elevated glamour to anything you wear.  So, I say...strut in silver style.

As ever,
