Yesterday I was feeling a little under the weather. I spent half of the day curled up in bed reading my newest book……ok I binge-watched Gossip Girl on Netflix, but I did at least attempt to read my book. It was an effort with good intentions that was overridden by the call of NYC and Blair Waldorf. Anyway, if I were able to actual concentrate (I did try!), then I would have finished my book (so good!) and would be on to the next on my list. I love curling up on the couch or my bed, reading a good book, and escaping into a story. Here’s what is currently next on my list of books to read…….. after I finish watching Netflix.

Why Not Me? / Mindy talks about finding contentment in her life through her career, relationships, and personal growth. Besides knowing how hilarious Mindy is, what draws me to this book is the title alone. The statement “why not me?” is powerful. It is believing in yourself and knowing you deserve whatever it is that you worked hard for. I feel this book will empower everyone to keep going on their journey of fulfillment, no matter where they are currently.

This weekend was the first real taste of fall. I try to put off wearing pants as long as I possibly can, but on Saturday there was no way around it, pants were a must.  As much as I love summer, running around in dresses and feeling the sun on my skin, there is something nice about the crisp days of the fall. I love throwing on a big sweater and out I go. The weather is nice enough (still) that you do not have to worry about carrying around a coat, but you are not sweating from the heat. This is an minimalist look that is simple with an easy color palette.  It can be paired with a flats, boots, or ankle boots.

In the fall and winter seasons, one of my favorite colors to wear is camel. I find it to be pretty chic and a great way to incorporate lighter colors for the colder seasons into my wardrobe. It is a classic neutral color, one that can be worn with anything that is already in your closet. A simple skirt, turtleneck sweater, or even a blazer can be worn with many different pieces or colors and patterns. The shade camel is usually popular with coats,  blazers, or accessories, but that doesn’t always have to be the case. I am one click away from purchasing this dress. I love the stylish, sophistication of it. I could pair it with a colorful statement necklace or earrings. Camel goes great with pops of color, if wearing the shade head-to-toe seems boring to you. A camel shade sweater with a pattern skirt or colored pants is a great look for the fall. A scarf or a wrap (I want this one), with an all black attire is so chic and classic to me. My favorite way to wear camel is with a white and black combination. Always a classic look for the fall.
