The time has come as we now turn the page to perhaps the most eagerly anticipated holiday of the year...Christmas.  From the smell of fresh cut pine to baking up delicious morsels in the Christmas kitchen, the holiday and its entire season evoke the most magical of precious memories deep within me.  Sharing that joy comes in many forms and fashions with gifting friends and loved being but only one of them.   Today I am celebrating that facet with a well-curated capsule of some of the most-loved gift options the women in your life will adore.  Cosy jumpers, hand-warming gloves, the most delicious winter warming scents, a classic handbag and, of course, a few spoily presents for yourself make up my classic holiday gift list.  

I truly hope you find something you love here.  But, more importantly, I wish you a blessed Christmas season that is filled with the truest gifts of all...family, good health, memory making and time to spend enjoying all the things you treasure the most.  Cheers to it all!

Autumn in the countryside, such a serene way to enjoy time this season.  And if you're looking for ways to wear the season no matter where you are, then this will be for you.  Timeless classics hold a treasure trove of stylability and endless ways to embody and emulate your personal style.  Cable knit sweaters, dark wash denim, leather riding boots, soft suede loafers, tartans and tweeds, lush fabrics and classic silhouettes all come together to weave the tapestry of the fall season.  I love this time of year for many reasons with outfit choices being just one of them.  

And while each of these pieces embodies autumn completely in its own right, they can all coexist quite comfortably, easily creating a variety of looks I love.  Adding in an unexpected element, like a silk satin slip skirt, allows for that many more ways to wear these beautiful pieces.  I personally love a jewel toned silk skirt worn easily with a cable knit sweater, nude heels and a structured leather bag beneath a tailored jacket.  Very smart, very well-stated.

Most importantly, find the pieces that embody the season and speak to you.  Take them and make them your own as you create the looks you'll want to wear throughout the cozy season.  Those you've seen here that have caught your eye are linked down below.  Wear them well!

Introducing autumn and the four most spectacular months of year in my book.  September through December also known as "The -Bers" are home to some of the most memory-making, awe-inspiring and magical moments of the year.  From wholesome activities like orchard visits and Sunday baking to leaf-peeping and holidays at home there are so many reasons I cherish this season.  

Designing ways to style my favorite pieces throughout autumn is another fun facet of it all as I always delight in finding beautiful ways to express myself through my pairings and pieces.  Today's post features a few of the ones I'll be adding into my closet and rotation this month.  And one thing's for sure, it's heavy on the burgundy balanced by the navy and beige.  I find this palette a refreshing change from the whites and neutrals of summer and an easy gateway into the gorgeous jewel tones waiting up ahead.  

Gold button accents, bow-detailing, bourbon tweeds, and classic cable knits set my heart afire this time of the year, haha.  But truly, their ability to capture timeless elegance and nod to the past while embracing the future makes them my tried and true favorites.  And to think,  this is just the beginning of a beautiful fall romance.  These items are linked for you below in case you too are an autumn.

August...the month of sultry days and golden sunshine, butterflies and dragon flies, fiery sunsets and earlier evenings.  It is a time of transition, so clearly marked by glimmers of the new season ahead.  I choose to celebrate its presence with like-minded colors that find themselves fitting perfectly into the late summer serenade.  Lovely day dresses light me up with their effortless ability to adjust to nearly any occasion.  From lunch with the girls to an evening stroll with the husband, I love the way they always fit the mood.  A cardigan sweater quickly becomes a best friend to me this time of year.  Worn easily just over the shoulders or as a finishing piece to the outfit, they add the just right layer of warmth on a late summer evening while looking classically chic.  Pointed toe ballet flats, pearl earrings, a silk scarf and a timeless handbag are the perfect staple pieces bringing the entire look together.  Effortless and elegant just like summer's end.
