Fall Focus: The Power Of Plaid

I must admit that the only two things in my home that are plaid is a Burberry umbrella and scarf.  Plaid has never been my thing.  Must have been those 12 years of parochial school uniforms that put the kibosh on my
penchant for plaid.....until now.

Wolford Legwear

Call me crazy, but I absolutely love to wear

so comfy, that I have even napped in them.  My two

fave styles are the Neon 40 with a great shine, and

Satin Opaque 50.  Yes they are pricey, but I swear they are run resistant. I rarely get a runner.

Thank goodness for Fall!

the style ante to your dinner table.  Now even 
a casual meal can be stylish.

I love nothing better than to come home,
strip down, and get into my Barefoot Dreams robe.
It couldn't be softer, warmer, or cozier. I adore 
this new style for the season.

money, you can't beat the true fragrances and

or two, but this year, the infinity style is the
way to go.  No worries about how to tie the thing!

Serena and lily's Eggplant Mohair Throw

Fall is the time when I like to curl up with

the iPad or a good mag. This cozy chic blankee

has a place in my home calling its' name!

Come October, the nights can be cool enough

anything red.  These little ceramic animals are
just the thing to keep my wine and my kitchen happy!

Along with the weather, our face and makeup

 need a change for Fall.  Brand new from Mark

Jacobs Beauty, Style Eye-Con No.7 Plush Shadow 

is a perfect palette. Available in 4 colors. I love the

Lolita. It's especially good with a red lip. See it at

Sephora

Cooler weather says it is time to warm up!
This military inspired set is a perfect look
for those of us above a certain age.

Homemade pizza beats any kind of delivery,
no matter where you live.  This exclusive Pizza
Oven will take the chill out of any Fall day.

Let's face it, the temps are not going up.
With a chill in the air, it's time to get down.
