Fall weather is just around the corner and you know what that means.... Time to bring out those blazers, your favorite chunky knit sweater, and a scarf or two.  It's about time to bring on the stylish, yet cozy layers.

It seems most people enjoy fall.  Not too hot, not too cold, just right.  Plus you get to indulge in everything pumpkin.  Pumpkin lattes, pumpkin cheesecake, pumpkin bread..... Pumpkin everything.

  Even those that say they can't stand when pumpkin flavor hits the stores, are secretly eating pumpkin brownies late at night.

Yeah, I'm looking at you!

Although, I must confess, my all time favorite fall drink isn't actually pumpkin flavored!  It's always been hot caramel apple cider!  GASP! I know right?!  Oh, but it's so delicious!  But a tall cup of hot caramel apple cider and a comfy look like above, or a more sophisticated look like below and I'm good to go.

What's your favorite thing about fall?  The food or the fashion?

  Or are you like me, and love both?

 Love the layered look below with the collar!

Holiday Gift Idea #2

Hello lovelies!  I recently came across this book in The USA Today newspaper, and thought it would definitely make a wonderful gift idea for those interested in fashion or design.  This book 100 Unforgettable Dresses offers a gorgeous spread on iconic dresses throughout the years. The author, Hal Rubenstein is the fashion director of InStyle and one of its founding editors.  Details from Amazon: 

"Featuring looks from the runway, film, television, the red carpet, and the worlds of royalty and politics, this book celebrates the staying power of these gorgeous, sleek, sultry, and outrageous creations as well as the lasting impact they’ve had in fashion, popular culture, and our own lives."

One of the dresses that caught my eye right away was SJP in Versace worn on Sex and the City!  Remember this stunning gown?

 Or how about Julia Roberts in Pretty Woman? 

 This book offers a wide range of breathtaking gowns to ones that are less attractive but definitely memorable!  You can buy this book on Amazon here.   It's priced at a little over $20 so not to bad of a deal if your giving or receiving! ; )

Leighton Meester: Fashionista onscreen and off!

On the show Gossip Girl, Leighton Meester plays Blair. Every episode is like a fashion show for her character. Here are a few pics of scenes from Gossip Girl to let you know what I mean:

Not only does she play a fashionable character on tv, but she is also a fashion forward person in real life. Take a look:

I really like Leighton Meester's off screen style right now!!! I think she is gorgeous too! Looking at these pictures makes me want to go shopping for some new clothes!!! From the pictures of Gossip Girl I really love the dress with the pink belt around it!! Makes me in the mood for spring! I can't decide what's my favorite outfit from her real life shots....well being a fan of pink, I obviously love the shade of her bright pink dress, and the blue pastel dress is great too, and the black and whites are fantastic!! Hmmm...I can't decide...what do you think?
