Trending: Teddy Bear Coats

 

Certainly the biggest trend in coats for Fall 2021 is the Teddy Bear Coat. It just sounds cozy doesn't it?  The above coat is The Teddy Icon by Max Mara. You can find it at Neiman Marcus. It's a camel hair blend. This trend runs the gamut from shearling, sherpa, faux fur, camel hair, mohair and more. I am here for it. What about you?

Saturdays At Shop This: Calm In The Chaos

Today's inspiration comes from an article in Vogue entitled "Donna Karan Is Looking for “the Calm in the Chaos.” I have always admired the designer. Now I do even more.  She talks about the changing fashion industry, "conscious consumerism," and finding calm in our world today. It's good. I think that we all need to calm down a little bit.  So today's links will hopefully help you to do
 just that.

Donna Karan's  own website, Urban Zen is so beautiful. It's where Donna's philanthropy meets commerce. You owe yourself a visit.  It's calming, and I love the cozy comfort collection. Actually everything is very Zen. By the way, you can save 30% on DonnaKaran.com and DKNY this weekend.

Metabolizing Difficult Emotions

I think we are all feeling a bit of collective grief and anxiety. This video with New York Times best selling author, Glennon Doyle and goop creator, Gwyneth Paltrow, was helpful to me.

Calming Lavender Essential Oil

This versatile essential oil is known for its' many  benefits, including supporting feelings of relaxation. I put a couple drops in the bath water, on my pillow, and my temples before bed. If you are having trouble sleeping, this may help. I get mine from Dr. Axe

~ ~ ~ ~ ~ 

Have you tried any CBD products? I have not. But I found the brand Haoma at Neiman Marcus. I am intrigued. Their philosophy is inspired by the divine plant that shares its name, HAOMA. Their products feature adaptogenic plant ingredients and Earth-based healing modalities. The Calming Temple Balm sounds promising for times 

like these.

Aromatherapy: So many studies have been done on the benefits of aroma. Besides just smelling good, certain scents are calming and relaxing. Enter the Nest Fragrance Scent Pura Smart Home Fragrance Diffuser. It will scent your home (or Mom's)  with calming Bamboo & Grapefruit.  How lovely!

52 Lists for Calm: Journaling Inspiration for Soothing Anxiety and Creating a Peaceful Life: 

Writing about your feelings, including gratitude, helps so much. This less than $10 book makes a nice gift to yourself or someone you care about.

All of this stress and anxiety shows up on our skin. Tea tree oil has a natural calming effect on the skin. I use it all of the time. Just found this organic brand at Nordstrom. B. Well Organic + Australian 100% Tea Tree Oil. It's all natural and will help to combat breakouts, and soothe dryness

 and irritation.

~ ~ ~ ~ ~ 

Baby Shusher: Babies and dogs are innately able to pick up on human emotions. If you are not calm, neither will your baby or pet be.  This little machine helps soothe your fussy baby by "engaging their natural calming reflex. Utilizing an ancient but doctor tested technique, it makes a rhythmic shushing sound that lulls your 

baby to sleep." Brilliant!

~ ~ ~ ~ ~ 

Calming Apps For Kids: If you have been in isolation with the kids, I think you need these by now.

Maybe you are like me and have cried a river since the Coronavirus Crisis began.  We will feel calmer if we choose to see the beauty that is happening, as opposed to the death and sadness. Let's concentrate on the appreciation the world is showing our front line healthcare workers. The flickering lights, applause, and sound of music of the citizens of the world is a

 beautiful thing!

Take A Walk On The Wild Side: Animal Print Footwear

{ Via: Pure Wow }

This Fall, animal prints are fierce, fun, and fabulous.  Leopard print has become a classic, but zebra, cheetah, and snake print are also having a moment. If you want to add a pop of pattern to any outfit, don't be afraid 
to go a little wild. Here are 16 chic choices.

Wild Things Collection

Nine West has an affordable chic collection of animal prints. Each pair comes in under $150.

Of course this iconic rain boot company has gone to the wild side. These are super fun.

A bootie that had me at that gold heel accent! Turn it around and you will see a golden zipper to match. The darkest strip of black snakeskin accents the side of the boot. I think that they look much more than the price.
