Skirts are in!
Fall brings us beautiful change of leaves, pumpkin spice late and with that coming shopping for new pieces for my closet. On of the things I love the most is skirts. I have stubble upon Reitmans who has the best selection from faux leather to pencil skirts.
There are classic pieces you can add to your already existing wardrobe. Pair them with beautiful colorful tights and boots and you are ready to go. And if you are a trendy chick, there is something for you too.
Here are two of my favorites, which will be easy to pair with comfy fuzzy warm sweaters or just a button down shirt.

Kendra's Night Out Challenge!
I was asked by travel guru Kendra Thornton to help her put together something stylish for a night out at The Standard High Line Hotel The Standard High Line is a Hip Boutique Hotel, which is 18 stories high and offers stunning views of Manhattan. I decided to put together something, age appropriate but fun and trendy. This color scheme goes well with her it is fresh and beautiful perfect for a summer night out int he city and if it gets a little bit chilly she can throw on the minimalist jacket. I kept the accessories simple yet elegant. I gave her choice of a clutch or a bag.
Here is the Challenge Kendra sent me:
Thank you Kendra I am glad I got to be part of this challenge and I wish you tons of fun while you are out in New York City.
Here is the Challenge Kendra sent me:
Cities, Clothes and Pretzels
When a group
of friends invited me to join them on a trip to New York City, I immediately
agreed to the trip. I love family vacations and romantic breaks with my
husband, but sometimes I just need to get away with friends. Of course, New
York City is an awesome place to visit. From Little Italy to Chinatown, it is
like many different cities all rolled into one big city. The only one problem I
have lurks in my closet. There is nothing in my closet that I can see myself
walking around such an exciting place as New York City in. As a mom with 3
children, my style is more practical than fashionable. I am hoping with the
Kendra Fashion Challenge, my friends in the fashion industry will help me by
picking out the most flattering styles and colors for my new trendy wardrobe.
Spending time
in the Big Apple can be expensive. We decided to splurge and spend one special
evening out at the Standard High Line Hotel. After much debate, we decided on
some classic German fare at the famous Biergarten. Chef Kurt Gutenbrunner
manages this exciting venue. When the weather is warm and the sky is clear,
guests enjoy their meals in the open air, but as the weather turns unwelcoming
a glass enclosure protects and warms those eating inside. After a delicious
meal of sausage and pretzels, I plan to challenge my friends to an energetic
ping-pong that we can play while enjoying our rich German beer. I know that we
will have a great time, but the right outfit will make it even better.
Deciding what
to do while visiting New York City was simple after I visited gogobot.com. On
this website, I found real reviews from travelers just like myself that had
already been to the places I thought might be great to visit. After reading the
reviews, I was able to come up with a final “must see” list. I know that while
visiting one of the most
luxurious hotels in the city, The Standard High Line Hotel it will be more
memorable if I look great in my new clothes and feel amazing.

Baby it's cold out there!
Like I said in a earlier post I just got back from vacationing in the Caribbean for 2 weeks. I wasn't prepared to face this cold weather. The weather has been brutal here in Georgia, and we are not used to it. We have been running our heat on high, the fireplace is getting a lot of use and Hot cocoa is a very popular drink.
Even though I do not like the cold that much I love coats, hats and scarf I make my own sometimes. On my inspiration board are these looks that will keep you warm and stylish at the same time.

I have a secret love with Oversized Sweaters
images found on Pinterest.
Right now you will not find me wearing these, the weather in Atlanta is 68 degrees in the morning. Don't get me wrong I love the warm weather but since my Christmas tree is out an everything is decorated here for Winter not Summer the weather should be at a least a bit chilly. I want to wear my handmade scarves. I think this a versatile piece that keeps you warm but is still fashionable. There so many ways to pair the oversized (bigger than the usual size) sweater, mine is with leggings and booties.
Now let's hope the weather changes up a bit so I start wearing sweaters. (just to make it clear I am not wishing for winterstorms of any kind just a little chill)

Wednesday mishap!
Such a dumb thing happened to me today, I guess I thought since I can sew I got sewing covered, II started sewing leather using a regular needle. Well after a couple of seconds, the needle broke and pieces flew all over the place and a tiny part got stuck in my chest.
I am fine thank God after I saw the injured part in the mirror I ran to my neighbor who was kind enough to let me squeeze her hubby's hand while she used the tweezers to get the pieces out.
I did learn a valuable lesson..... I need to buy needles that I can use to work with leather and wear goggles next time or some type of glasses to protect my eyes.

Minimalist Leather bracelets.
I have been been on the slug mode with this blog not liking it all but I haven't had time to take pictures and day's are spent in cutoff jeans with simple t-shirt 's are not picture worthy.
I ended up getting some new supplies and got home and started making bracelets, these minimalist leather bracelets are Unisex I am already wearing one, and it looks super cool and have this edgy vibe over it.
The last two bracelets are old leather watch bands I have collected and decided to play around with some antique brooch I have bought at the thrift store.
I love how nice they look.
What do you think??

I found my inspiration on Pinterest. I wish you guys a great weekend.
