winter style
We are having our first substantial (well, more so than the previous) storm of the season, rather fitting since winter is just a couple of days away. I was finally able wear my Sorels this morning, however, the knit caps have definitely been in play already. Winter is my least favorite of the seasons, but I do have a mad obsession with outerwear, so I'm just goin to make the best of the cold with fashion. Here are a few snaps for inspirtion...
Oh so Audrey like!
Classic cool.
Chic, chic, chic...
My fave beanie from a Brooklyn Walgreens ♥

love it. live it. interior style board: fashion inspired international entry
I am just mad about the dress from Bottega Veneta F/W RTW 2012, for this week's Interior Style Board. While the dress is a stunning organic floral number, the International Entry is inspired by the bold color story.

festive, stylish & do-able thanksgiving table ideas
When it comes to Thanksgiving tables, less is best. Seriously, with some of the tablescapes I've seen, where do you put the feast? I'm also a fan of a more "rustic" table. Below you will find a few ideas that are creative, colorful and feast friendly!
So cute!
Very bohemian.
Love the bucket!

beauty scoop...tiss the season for dry hands
Starting in October, and really not ending until maybe June, Colorado is dry, dry, dry. The upside to a dry climate winter is that the cold isn't as cold as it is in a humid climate, but the downside is that hands turn to sandpaper...until NOW!
I purchased this bottle of glycerine on a whim, I am a self admitted beauty junkie; yes, "I have an addiction Sir". It cost less than $6 for 16 oz. and it is worth millions! I tried it on my feetsies about a month ago. It is not oily, more like a little sticky, so after applying I slept in socks. Aside from the super softening and moisturizing benis, glycerine is water soluble, so it washes off easily.
This week I have been battling dry hands and for extra irritation, a cracked thumb. I decided last night to try the glycerine on my hands. I say try because my hands were crazy dry and I wasn't sure if the glycerine would be powerful enough. Ha, I feel like such a fool for doubting its super powers. A dime size amount of glycerine + spa gloves worn overnight = sandpaper hands that are now able to caress a Pashmina without so much as a tug!

love it. live it. interior style board: fashion inspired "milly" study
Click on image to enjoy a larger view.
This week's Interior Style Board was inspired by designer Antonio Marras, and he was inspired by "Milly". He envisioned her with a wardrobe made up of places she's been and people she's loved, a collage of life. While this study is a collage of texture and patterns, it now needs to be graced with life, the most important element that makes a house a home.

i couldn't agree more: "slovenliness is a sign of a nation in decline..."
I have a new hero, well two actually, thanks to Harper's BAZAAR, Diana Vreeland and Elizabeth Wurtzel. Ms. Wurtzel wrote one of the most profound articles in the September 2012 issue, "LOOKING BETTER AT 45 THAN 25". I too feel I look better at, soon to be, 45; I exercise, eat well and I am a style addict.
She shared a little tidbit about her early life growing up in a not so glam, near-bankrupt '70's New York City. The apartment she lived in was government-subsidized, but her mom didn't let her surroundings dictate who she was; "she always wore lipstick-and mascara and high heels" to go to the coin-op laundry. Her mother taught her "that even if all you are dealing with is a box of Tide and a bunch of junkies, without a coat of Revlon's Cherries in the Snow, a real woman does not step out the door."
Elizabeth Wurtzel, as well as myself and I'm sure many others, is "horrified by the onset of slovenliness", after all, it is "common decency to be presentable." I have to admit while I was reading this article I was wearing a ridiculously baggy pair of Lands End sweats that I bought about 10 years ago. Even though I was in the comfort of my own home, I suddenly felt "uncomfortable". I immediately changed into slim fitting yoga pants!
The two statements from the article that really hit were, "the current state of slovenliness is a sign of a nation in decline and of a despairing distaff population" and "I am not a mean person, but the sloppiness angers me because it is about a wounded world."
Ms. Wurtzel goes on to point out that "not everyone is born beautiful, but absolutely everybody can become so." I know that when I look good, or at least make an attempt, I feel fabulous. There are times when I go for a run then pop into the store not looking so stunning, and I apologize. But I am putting a little more effort into my public, and even private, appearance. Today I curled my eyelashes and applied a little lip gloss before leaving the house for my run, because I too want the world to be better.
If we don't show that we are prideful and respect ourselves, how can we expect others to?
Now I don't expect head to toe Chanel to grab some groceries, but come on, pajama flannel pants? What exactly is one trying to tell the world; I don't care about myself, nor anyone or anything else for that matter.
I want to see THIS when I go to the grocery store...
NOT THIS!
