Reading Radar

With the first month of classes finished and the colder weather on its way, what could be better then sitting down with a pumpkin spice latte, your cozy fall clothes and a new book?  I was recently in a Toronto Chapters and I quickly found myself walking up to the check out with an assortment of books-- both new titles and old.  If you have read any of them already, let me know what you thought! Enjoy.

Wild: Oprah's recent book club book.

Bond Girl:  It is just like The Devil Wears Prada, just on Wall street..

The Best of Me: I just finished this one.  If you are a huge Nicholas Sparks fan like me, you will enjoy this one.

The Happiness Project:  The title alone is enough to make me want to read it.

Last Letter from your Lover: A sophisticated double love story spanning 40 years.

Rules of Civility: Set in 1937 New York, a lower class girl meets a Wall Street banker who introduces her to the world of upper class.

Happy Reading! 

  

Fall Must-haves!!

I was inspired by fashion style guru Rachel Zoe for this post on some fabulous fall must haves. Here is my take on what every fabulous fashionista should fill their already over-flowing closets with!

This fall try sporting a Chic Fedora- a trend that can be carried throughout all of the seasons! Stylish Rain Gear-boots and umbrella are must haves! Cat Eye Sunglasses- Gotta’ keep your eyes protected so you can continue to spot cute pieces to add to your wardrobe! Something Python- So Luxe! A statement ring- Usually for after hours, but why not try to mix one into a day look? A Patent pouch- Patent was taking over the shoe and handbag world, now tryout a patent clutch! Drop earrings in jewel tonnes. Suede heels- a different take on heels, cute paired with tights! Try a Color Block belt in fun colors and textures. Cozy sweaters- perfect for snuggling up on the couch, or worn throughout the day! Lace up ankle boots- these are great if you can find them in more neutral colors, they can easily be worn with anything. Coloured cords in a fun fall tonne ( who would have ever imagined cords would make a comeback… not me)..Statement cuff, cute gloves, something mustard! This color is fabulous and amazing for fall. A statement scarf- I La-la-LOVE animal print, so animal print is always a good choice in my books! Some people are really against the whole faux fur look, but if it is faux, I don’t see what the big deal is, it can make any outfit catwalk worthy. I love the look of a fur vest over a plain long sleeve top, definitely adds style to a plain outfit! Now, I know it isn’t winter just yet, but beanies are defiantly cute and the cosier and the warmer, the better! Finally, amp your look up with a fun tall nail trend! Look for shades that are deep, dark, warm, or jewel tonne to add some extra spice to your look!

Falling for fall

Fall is hands down my favorite season of the year.  I love being bundled up in big cozy scarfs, drinking pumpkin spice lattes and spiced apple drinks -indulging in anything pumpkin or apple actually... going to the pumpkin patch, watching the leaves fall.. getting excited for Halloween.. ahh the list goes on and on! Here are some cute pics that will hopefully get you excited as well! Enjoy.
