Autumn Favorites- Friday Fancy

This week for my Friday Fancies the idea was to celebrate everything that is wonderful about fall. So obviously something pumpkin would show up. I had some self control because originally I just would have chosen pumpkin EVERYTHING! Instead I went with all my favorite articles of clothing from this fall. Fashion staples for me were black leggings, brown riding boots, a few good sweaters and mixed in a bright handbag. There is something about this season that just makes me want to be cozy in everything I wear!

Friday Fancies and Some Friday Letters.

Happy Friday to you! This has been one of the shortest and longest weeks ever. Its been exhausting for certain. This weekend a good friend of mine is doing a collection for some of our fellow New Jersey-ians. I'm helping out a bit tomorrow.  Whenever I feel down I notice doing something for some one else makes me feel good. I'm excited that a good friend of mine will be staying with us this weekend. She has had a rough time lately. She cancelled her wedding, became ill, spent time in the hospital, moved into a new apartment and lost power all within 2 weeks. I'm glad we get to spend time together.

This week our Friday Fancy project was to put together a sweater weather style. This is my favorite time of year and my favorite time for fashion. I love the tones and the neutral colors. This House of Frasier sweater is amazing. Probably not practical in my real life but the patters are adorable. I purchased a similar sweater from Hopes and I can't wait to wear it. I also love this adorable Isabella Oliver wrap belt. I'd love to get my hands on one!

This outfit makes me want to head out to an apple orchard and listen to a band while drinking some wine and taking in the sounds, smells and sights that fall has to offer.

Now onto some letters:

Dear Weekend: Thanks for getting here so soon. We need some down time although I don't think I'll have time for it.
Dear Hair: All those little grays you are producing....STOP IT!!! You are taking over and I can't stand it! I look old!
Dear Daddy: Sorry for not getting you a gift yesterday. I owe you but I hope you like all of those cupcakes!
Dear Jade: Can't wait to spend an awesome weekend with you!
Dear Marie and Lori: You guys are so awesome! I am so pleased to call you both friends. I think your collections will help out so many!

My Friday Fancies- Bonfire Fun

This week my Friday Fancy is bonfire attire. I LOVE me some bonfires. Sadly, we didn't get to any. Maybe because a hurricane two weeks ago and 4+ inches of snow this week. Yep, Mother Nature hates us! We love to do summer bonfires but fall bonfires are the best. The crisp  chill of the fall air. Just trying to find outfits to put together made me want to do a bonfire weekend. I may just suck it up and bundle up to have one this weekend. I can't stand being cold so I go all out with layers, boots, hats, blankets (gloves and heavy socks, I didn't post) and coffee. Coffee could also double as a few seasonal beers.

I love the mustard, browns and navy combination this fall.  Do you like fall bonfires? What are your favorite color combinations this season?

I'm off to do some Christmas shopping today! I can't wait. I may be doing a little shopping for myself today too!!

Have a fantastic weekend. 

Friday Fancies- 200

This week we are celebrating something super special. Today we are celebrating 100 weeks of Friday Fancies. Our task this week was to pull together a fantastic party outfit! Nothing says a fancy party for like a little black dress. I actually couldn't pick a favorite so I picked two. I wanted to make the simple black dress pop with a pair of Kendra Scott earring and Stella and Dot bracelet. In my dreams I'd be able to wear amazing pair of Guiseppe Zanotti heals. In the real world I'd tower over my 5'8 husband and I would probably trip and break an ankle.

What is your ideal party outfit!!

Hope on over and congratulate Allison on a 100 weeks of Friday Fancies.

It's a Peacock Halloween

With Halloween on the horizon this week's challenge to post your potential Halloween costume! I wish I was cool enough to have plans this year BUT I don't! I'm probably just gonna hand out some candy to kids and dog biscuits to the puppies! However, if I were super cool this would be what I would want to be. I would totally create a peacock costume. I love the colors. Its a bit funky but not trashy.

Have a wonderful weekend!
Enjoy.  

Friday Fancies-Leaves

Happy Friday! Seems to me like Friday took forever to get here this week. Its been long and exhausting! I cant wait to get through today and start the weekend off. We are ridiculously busy starting tonight with my sister in law's birthday party. Tomorrow we are going to a wedding. Although my friend had canceled her wedding my coworker shared the same wedding. She had two cancelations and re-invited us. I don't get much fun time with my coworkers so I super excited! 

I'm trying a little something new this week. I'm linking up with Allison from Long Distance Loving for Friday Fancies. This week we had the task of crafting an outfit centered around fall leaves. The foliage is in full swing around here. I sat out on our back deck staring at our woods while creating this outfit. I saw lots of mustard yellows, burgundy wine, a lot of greens, golds, browns and I added a bit of navy to the mix.
