Country Class
Don't mind me, I'm just dreaming of this life...I can't stand it...the prep, the class, having a home upstate New York and a Penthouse in the City...sure, why not. Happy day dreaming! Have a great weekend!

Olivia Palermo: Class
She kills me every time, love her hair, her clutch, her glasses, her skinny jeans, everything...I just purchased a faux fur vest just like this jacket a few weeks ago from the Nordstrom Rack for $25 ~ I love the Rack and Olivia!

Rainy Seattle = Hunter Boots!
Who doesn't love Hunter Boots, I think they're adorable and so perfect especially for Seattle where it rains 300 days out of the year (or at least it feels like it does). But to be honest I don't own a pair, I think why I've never given in to purchasing a pair is because they look alittle frumpy (which I know is the look)...SO that is why I think pairing the boots with these socks brings them to another level for me. I need a pair so I can throw on with the cream cable knit socks, how cute! What a great gift for a friend who owns a pair of Hunter Boots. The socks are $25- $40 at Piperlime and the bottom socks and the amazing black boots are from Nordstrom. The fleece socks in yellow would be perfect for Husky games...

Bobbie Brown: Eyeliner
This is hands down my favorite eyeliner...one of my best friends has worn this liner for years and every time I'm getting ready with her I would dig into her make up bag looking for her Bobbie Brown Gel Eyeliner. It's the BEST and a must have! It goes on beatifully and last all day for only $21 - my favorite colors are Black Ink & Espresso Ink. Oh, and you will need an eyeliner brush if you don't already have one. Happy Wednesday!

How To Tie A Tie
Okay folks, I'm going to show you how to tie anything from bows on a gift to bows on a man throughout the next month. We need to start getting prepared for our holiday parties. To start off here is how to tie a Windsor Tie (formal attire):
Step One: Drape the necktie around your collar and start with the wider end extending approximately 12 inches below the narrow end; cross it over.
Step Two: Wrap the wide end around, and bring it up over and through the loop between the collar and the tie. Then pull it down toward the front.
Step Three: Curl the wide end that is left behind the narrow end.
Step Four: Bring the wide end back up again through the loop.
Step Six: Bring the wide end up and tuck it through the loop a third time, and bring it back down to the front.
Step Seven: Finally, pull down on the wide end carefully to tighten and draw up the knot snugly to your collar.
Step Eight: If both ends don't meet perfectly, simply start over and adjust the length of your tie accordingly. Make sure your collar falls nicely all around, and center the knot as best you can.
The End!

Brothers & Sisters: Wedding
One of my favorite shows that I faithfully watch is Brothers & Sisters. I love the Walkers, they are a classic contemporary American Family. My dream is to have a large family and I just love to see the dynamics of all five adult children, the way they support each other through genuine, relatable life issues. Justin Walker is a total babe and such a sweet mommas boy. As I was flipping through my US Magazine this weekend I came across his wedding pictures and I had to share...it looked so laid back, casual and like the two of them just have FUN! His wife is of course so gorgeous in her Monique Lhuillier gown! Happy Monday!

Bows & Candles
These are gorgeous and smell so yummy! My dream would be to have stock of fun candles and yummy pacakages that I could grab on my way to a friends home, running late to a birthday party or house party so I could always show up with a classy gift. I'm working on it...these are $45 from Calypso St. Barth. Best part is that you don't even have to wrap it with the over the top matching bow. Happy Friday!!

Chloe & Reese
So, Anne and I were helping a few clients personal shop the other night at Nordstrom and Anne introduced me to the world of Chloe & Reese, I haven't been able to stop thinking about these dresses since, I actually may have even lost a little sleep. I must have one, I'm somehow going to justify splurging on one of these breathtaking dresses. They are perfection!!

All Saints: Children Clothing
Like Rachel Zoe would say "I die" for this girls All Saints jacket. I want one in my size please! Check out their childrens clothing line, some of their pieces are out of this world.
Men & Moccassins
Alright lets be honest, if I saw a guy wearing these Canoe Moccasins handcrafted by Quoddy which is based out of Maine and a family owned business that has been hand sewing shoes since 1909 (it's picture perfect)...I really think I would have a hard time not wanting to date him...yes, shoes can do it and set the tone and tell a lot about a man. Okay, so maybe not tell that much but these shoes would do it for me. Of course when I clicked on the link to find a store they are sold at...yep, J.Crew!!!

Halloween Details
I'm adoring these ideas I found over on Martha Stewart. Okay, so I love the candy table but I think I could come up with tags/labels for the jars that I like better. But I do love the idea...and who would have thought to use a pumpkin cooler. LOVE!! Martha we heart you!! Happy Fall!!
