Step into October with Jewel Tones

Beautiful rich jewel tone colors of Autumn... Frilly feathers, succulent wreaths and bright watercolors. I hope you have a wonderful weekend filled with exciting plans or some much needed quiet time. Whichever the case may be,

have a bright bold and beautiful one!

Click here for step-by-step instructions on how to plant and care for a succulent wreath. Other favorites this week ~ A beautiful hue of blue and plum pretty too... A wonderful post on making Basil Pesto, cool double wrap bracelets from Stella and Dot, far East pinks, bold and romantic rooms.

Love this post on Home is where the Art is... and I am dying over these fabulously chic dresses! Love the black and white ballgowns, hmmm... maybe some inspiration here to paint more dresses.

The October Issue

I haven't even gotten through all the September magazines and now the October issues are arriving in my mailbox.  I am always excited for Vogue though and look forward to reading more about the newest "it girl" Carey Mulligan.  She stars with Keira Knightly, Andrew Garfield, and Charlotte Rampling in the film version of Kazuo Ishiguro's novel Never Let Me Go.  I don't want to give anything away so I will just say that it's a story about love, loss and hidden truths.  You can also check out the behind the scenes action of the Peter Lindbergh and Grace Coddington photo shoot in the South of France on Vogue.com.  I'm off to finish reading my September issue!
