FASHION

My favorite season is upon us. I have always declared my birthday, November 1, the official beginning of the holiday season. We will listen to Christmas music, the kids will start making their Christmas list, and squeal with excitement when we start seeing decorations going up all over town. Although, Audrey has Dolly Parton’s Christmas album on repeat already. In my opinion, everything about this season is the absolute best. And I am thrilled the kids share the excitement that I have had instilled in me since I was a child.

Like it or not, leather and faux leather are back for Fall and Winter. And I think this year is even better than last year. There are so many good pieces at every price point and I only wish I lived some place cooler to wear it more often. From dresses to shorts, I found so many items I love. And some of the blazers are my most favorite.

I love wearing sneakers with a dress. Number one, I like dresses, especially here in Florida. Of course it is warm here most days and dresses are one of the most comfortable items in my closet to throw on. Number two, dresses can be dressed up or down depending on your shoes. A good sneaker can give your dress enough edge to wear for running errands, picking up the kiddos from school, or lunch with the girls. Number three, when I wear sneakers, I absolutely do not have to worry about whether or not my toenails are painted. Especially right now when it has been months since these feet have been pampered with a good pedicure.
