TRENDY SATURDAY!

I have been noticing a few trends in the fashion world. I am not sure I will be incorporating all of them in my wardrobe.

 However, there is one trend I am on the hunt for, and it is a trend that I have been wondering when it would be showing up again.

You all know that saying that what goes around comes around again. Well, this one trend is just that!! I wore this trend in elementary school and junior high.

The Peter Pan Collar

The way I see myself wearing this trend is under a black cashmere sweater. I love the contrast of a white collar. This would be a great way to highlight the Peter pan collar, and maybe a strand of pearls too!!

Ankle-strapped Shoes

The other trend I have been noticing, but will not be wearing is the ankle strap shoe. I am a bit sad that I can not wear this trend (ankles are just too big!) because it is so feminine, and pretty on those of you with thinnish ankles.

Isn’t this a fabulous color? Oh how I wish I could wear these shoes.

My DIL actually pinned this shoe, and I thought it was adorable, and just had to share it with my readers. 

Now, she has the ankles to wear this shoe, and to wear it well.

I don’t know why, but I find this shoe very sexy!

Speaking of shoes!! I love a good Segway!!

BROGUES

When we were in Paris I saw these in all the windows of the shoe stores we passed.

 I am kicking myself for not getting a pair of grey suede/leather combination brogue that I saw, and admired.

I can just see these with a pair of wide legged camel pants, and a crisp white shirt and a great belt. Gold chains for a necklace, and hoop earrings. A simple gold bangle on my wrist!!

You all know how much I love black & white!! I had to pin these shoes, aren’t they adorable?!

One last pair to show you, and I would wear all of these that I am showing you……

Cobalt blue is a color I enjoy wearing so I know these would be a fun addition to my winter wardrobe!

FOXY

I am not sure I will be wearing this trend, but you never know. I did pin a couple of pieces of jewelry that are kind of fun. 

I find wearing a trend in a small item can be fun, and not too over the top.

This is a cute hinged bracelet by Tory Burch.

These are all trends I have been noticing more and more so I thought I would share these with you on a Saturday morning!!!!

Happy Saturday!!

Making a Fall Arrangement With Curly Willow

Do you like curly willow!? Well if you do, you are going to think I am a very lucky girl.

Hubby, and I took a walk in the park that is right behind our house.  This was not just a walk for exercise, but a walk to go gathering some branches to put in my entry hall.

There are two curly willow trees in our park so of course I had to bring home some of those gorgeously curvy, and curly branches for a touch of Fall in my entry hall.

I kept it simple by placing two cream plates on the corbels, and one large cream vase to hold the curly willow.

The branches have a combination of dark brown, light brown and a really pretty green.

The jury is still out on whether I think it is sculptural, or a little scary looking. 

Each day I am liking it a little better. A good blogging friend of mine suggested that maybe I should take a few branches out of the bottom. I think I will try that tomorrow!

Next time you go on a walk, take some pruners and you might be surprised at what you can create!!

My Fall Kitchen Is Wearing A Halloween Disguise

This year my kitchen will be wearing a Halloween costume! 

It has decided to wear a fake mustache. I thought I had better warn you, just in case you do not recognize it!….

The vintage cutting board was brought back out to warm it up for the upcoming cooler weather.

I am enjoying my new hand towel in black and white stripes.

Ornamental Kale is just the right texture, and green for my kitchen. 

The dipped in black and cream planter is just the right container to hold the Kale. You will notice the little letter “P,” I have had that for years.

If you take a look inside the cupboards you will see a few more “P’s” !

I get lots of good light coming in my kitchen window.

Across from the kitchen is my dining room. I like to keep it simple by adding an urn and a big green pumpkin for the Fall…………..

So there you have my new additions:

• Mustache plaque
• Black dipped planter
• Black and white stripe fringed hand towel

All these additions were provided by:

I am a very lucky girl!! Thank you Sherry!!
