Winter is Coming

We officially entered the wool coats and high boots period, and Essie has six new amazing shades inspired by the colder weather:

From Left to right: Toggle To the Top, Shearling Darling, Warm & Toasty Turtleneck, Sable Collar, Parka Perfect and Mind Your Mittens.

The lush cocoa plum "Sable Collar" is the one I'm most excited about. It's an interesting mix of red and brown, and I don't think I own anything quite like it.

Which one is your favorite?

It's a Red Coat drink sleeve that'll keep your Pretty Little Latte warm in style.

And the best is, that you can make it yourself. Just head over to Spoonful.com and download the pattern and instructions. Have fun!

...Oh and how great was the Pretty Little Liars Halloween Special?

Sweater Weather Tag

I love a good tag, and this one happens to be about my favorite thing: Fall

1. Favorite candle scent? 

I'm actually not a candle person. Shocking, I know.

2. Coffee, tea, or hot chocolate? 

Black Coffee's usually the way to my heart, but I do carry a particular fondness for berry tea in the fall.

3. What's the best fall memory you have? 

Pumpkin carving, ever since I was little we had pumpkin carving parties, that involved watching the Disney Halloween classics in the garden house.

4. Which makeup trend do you prefer: dark lips or winged eyeliner? 

Dark lips, berry lips trump everything.

Red Coat from Pretty Little Liars.

6. Favorite fall food? 

Apple quiche.

7. Hats or Scarves?

Hats.

 8. Most worn sweater? 

My precious owl sweater.

9. Favorite fall nail polish? 

It's a toss-up betweeen Essie's "Wicked" and OPI's "Warm and Fozzy"

10. Football games or jumping in leaf piles? 

Leaves! Duh...

11. Skinny jeans or leggings? 

Skinny jeans.

12. Combat boots or Uggs? 

Both? Riding boots? My Hunters? ...I dont discriminate against boots.

Book Smart

I simple shirt dress is always a smart look, but Tommy Hilfiger found a way to make it even smarter, by adding a whole library to it.

Royal Threads

My vacation is officially over, and as much as I would have loved to bring the castle home with me, I couldn't. But thanks to Zara's newest home collection I can at least add some royal flair to my living room:

How perfect are these throw pillows ?
