First Snow

I didn't believe the weatherman when he was calling for snow on Saturday... 

It just didn't seem possible. 

but it DID! 

and it was beautiful. 

(I'm a sucker for snow)

It makes me want to just curl up with a cup of tea and sit fireside to read a book.

If you need something to curl up in, Fleur got 2 new styles of Goddis sweaters 

and Leigh&Luca scarves. 

Come in and snatch them before they are all gone!

New Autumn Palette

New arrivals keep coming at Fleur and last weeks boasted a fresh fall palette. 

I took a minute to think about what is inspiring the designers.

Dragon fruit, grey skies influence the flirty ruffles of Hunter Dixon's tops.

And bright pomegranates and robin's egg blues keep Paul and Joe Sister pieces exciting and cheery. 

I can't wait to see what comes in next!

Thanksgiving Threads

I love Thanksgiving, although it's 2 weeks away, I cannot stop thinking about it. 

Planning has begun for the yummy menu, table settings and what to wear. 

I like feeling festive on Thanksgiving, and that usually means wearing something warm, cozy and rustic. 

I really like the photo spread they had in the November Real Simple Magazine. 

Fresh faces, warm knits, plaids and jewel tones.

and I just have to add the Ralph Lauren Ricky Tartan Sunglasses, because they have been peaking out at me from the pages of every magazine I pick up and I am starting to love them....

so festive yet hip.

November Tune

I can't believe it is November already

Where does the time go?

Before you know it, we will be gearing up for the holidays

and searching for the perfect festive frocks. 

But until then, I am going to just soak up November, 

take it day by day and wrap up in something comfortable and warm.

I will leave you with a little November tune, by one of my favorites (and NC locals) The Avett Brothers.

Activitizing

I just returned from a long-weekend away on the California Coast, where my days were filled with amazing sites and a taste of adventure. 

After 20 miles of hiking and 2 nights sleeping under the stars, my bones are a little weary and my brain a bit fogged. 

As I recover from the activitizing and slight jet lag I ponder the most comfortable and relaxing duds to don this work week. 

But seeing as Loungewear is as luxe as ever this fall, I think I have the perfect solution...

...try and look perfectly effortless like this gal.

An oversized Goddis sweater and some leisurely leggings are the way to go.
