Leather Weather: 16 Luxe Looks

Last evening, I wore one of my favorite leather Escada skirts to a party. It felt so right for the weather and the occasion. Equally appropriate this time of year, is a leather jacket. It is always classically cool. Once associated with tough biker chicks, leather now comes in an array of styles for everyone from uptown girls to budget shoppers and even little fashionistas.  Have a luxe look at the buttery soft selections I found for you.

Scents and Sensibility: Autumn Is In The Air

One of the things I love most about Autumn are the aromas. Leaves burning, hot apple cider, mulling spices, a crackling fire, pumpkin pie, and the lingering fragrance of a blown out candle. It all evokes a memory or a warm and cozy experience about to be enjoyed. Autumn. Isn't it just the best?
