I hope you didn’t think that stripes are reserved for Spring time, Summer time, or any particular time or season. “BWahhhhahahahaha! You jest!” you say.

“No way!” I say. There is a perfect stripe for every time, any time, and certainly for every season.

Case in point this striped turtleneck. Already missing the frolicking days of Spring? Throw on these stripes to bring some class and sass to your fall!

Case in point J.Crew’s new Holiday Lookbook! Stripes abound. Check out look 4.

Party on, Garth!

We’re waiting for snow here in the mountains. Read: I am happy to let autumn have it’s moment and continue to enjoy burnished leaves and blustery days, but the ski crew at my house are holding their breaths for a huge dump of the white stuff!!

Every time a flurry falls there is much wonder, amazement, joy, and encouraging words for more here around our house, but nothing is sticking yet.

I’ve put together a Men’s Winter Edit for you today. Everything your Mountain Man needs to fight the bitter cold this season, and look primo while doing so! Maybe a few of these items will make it onto his Christmas list. Enjoy your Friday, revel in your weekend!!!

“Why so seriousss?” I have to say that one of the more interesting parts of this blog has been taking outfit photos. Sometimes, it has been a lot of fun. Sometimes it has been equal parts trying. Sometimes I genuinely wonder why I am having pictures taken of myself at all!

Case in point– the beyond serious looks I am casting in a few of these photos. Despite the serious appearance of my face I can assure that I don’t take myself too seriously. This outfit is a testament to gray scale, and the saving grace that black, gray, charcoal and the like can be in your wardrobe.

Perplexed about what to wear? Tired of mediocre wardrobe choices? Go back to black. Black will give you that pulled together look time after time. The cognac bag and booties, let’s just chalk those up to points of flare for this outfit. But in a pinch I’d sub these saddle leather boots for a suede pair of black heals and a sleek black clutch and call it good.

As for taking yourself too seriously. Doesn’t reality remedy those pangs on the daily?!? Have a seriously wonderful Thursday, friends!

Haven’t tired of these flares yet. In fact, they are a fabulous wardrobe update and throwback all in one piece. To take your favorite pants into winter you need nothing more than to pair them with your favorite sweater, a close-toed shoe, and whatever piece of flare you choose.

I’ve got my eye on a round pair of sunglasses just to pair with these pants, that’s how  much I am loving the 70s resurgence this season. Stay tuned, I’m sure I will find a feasible way to pair these flares with snow boots. (I’m laughing at myself right now!) A girl can dream, right?

Have a wonderful day, and a blessed week!

This weekend most of us will have the blessed (read government mandated) opportunity to participate in Daylight Savings Time. You know the saying Fall Forward!

I always forget which one of these “savings times” gives me another hour of sleep as opposed to making me feel as though I am being ripped from my warm bed at 5:30 a.m. rather than 6:30 a.m. But for purposes of this post, that information is neither here nor there.

I did a Fall Style Mash-up earlier this season for both gals and guys, but I wanted to follow up with an edit geared more toward winter. The winter toward which we are also falling (though not fast enough for my husband and his ski buddies). Above are some of my current winter favorites, below are links to the deets!

Have a wonderful Friday, a fabulous weekend, and a safe and Happy Halloween!!!
