Since I pretty much live in sweaters from fall to spring, I also like my dresses to be in sweater form. I keep it comfortable with leggings and flat boots and add some character with layered necklaces, a bold cuff, and large earrings. A lace-edged slip peeking out adds a bit of femininity and, as a bonus, keeps the dress from sticking to the leggings. Perfect solution to looking put together without sacrificing comfort!
Brand new for fall - cuff bracelets made from my own handcrafted wool felt and etched copper!
To make the wool felt, I lay out loose wool roving (the fibers that are typically spun into yarn) into a pattern. I then add water and olive oil soap and manipulate the fibers by working the soapy water into it and rolling into bubble wrap.
I keep working the fibers until it becomes a sheet of felt.
For the bracelets, I cut the finished felt into strips.
I then rivet on a piece of my etched copper and add a snap.
Worn alone or stacked with other bracelets, these add the perfect bit of texture now that the weather is turning cooler. Each one is unique and one of a kind, so find your favorite!

This weekend I'm heading over to my friend's farm for a good old-fashioned harvest party. Time to pull out a cozy sweater and scarf and boots I can stomp around in... perfect for sipping on mulled cider around a bonfire.
In honor of my birthday tomorrow :) I decided to go a little over the top with this week's outfit. Bring on the cake!
Snake print, black boots, and lots of cool silver jewelry... perfect for a rockstar. Or a rockstar wannabe :)
To celebrate my mom's birthday, my sister and I are planning a party for her next week. She loves traveling to India and has 'adopted' family there that she visits as often as she can. So, we're putting together an Indian-themed lunch for her and her closest friends. I can't wait to dig into some Butter Chicken and Naan...
This week's What To Wear Wednesday is in honor of National Bike Month. Ideally, I'd be celebrating by taking a leisurely ride at the beach, but, alas, I don't think I'll be making it to the beach this month. Are you biking more this month? I'd love to hear about your favorite place to ride...
