Fall Colours

Fall is here and my colour palette is changing to reflect it. Rich hues in burgundy, Merlot, green and purple are going to become my fall staples (had some great wine last night). Neutrals won't change - black, navy, deep browns and grey. However, fall neutrals are a heavier weight then those in the spring and summer. I also love creams and winter whites, they have a soothing effect.





Still in love with gold accessories (though this watch is on the rose side). 


This ruched top just keeps on giving, it hides lumps and bumps and minimizes bloating.





I am six feet tall, I'm not going to have a cute size 6 foot. I've gotten over it.


You know what else I love about fall? My TV shows are back. Shows like The Good Wife, How I Met Your Mother, Revenge, Modern Family and even Grey's Anatomy. I was giving up on Grey's, please don't disappoint me. The new shows I have enjoyed are The New Normal and The Mindy Project Any shows you're watching?

I just finished watching the first season of Downton Abbey on DVD with my Thursday regular, Lil, and we can't wait to start on season 2. The British do the best period pieces. The actors are superb and every detail reflects the times - clothing, decor, and manor. The cook looks like a cook, not a botoxed housewife. I'm in love with it all. I hope it stays that way.

Happy Monday! Please vote for me to become one of the top 25 Canadian Blogs. The button is on the right hand side, I may still be in the Pending Blogs tab.

    1. Thank you! I read somewhere that it had "jumped the shark" and was afraid it was ruined. However, now that I have words of encouragement from you and Avril I am feeling better.

  11. Hey! Just saw your comment on my blog about the leopard loafers. Just wanted to let you know that mine are from Kmart. They still have them and they are only $9.99! Here's the link http://www.kmart.com/bongo-women-s-dansby-flat-leopard/p-035VA49723301P?prdNo=7&blockNo=7&blockType=G7
    I love mine. They look great as well, but are very inexpensive. Just wanted to share! :)
