I haven't yet decided whether or not I'm going to dress up for Halloween. However, I'm moving soon and my roommate and I might throw a Halloween-themed housewarming party, in which case we would go all out with our decor and costumes! And of course, there would be lots of Halloween treats, especially candy corn- my favorite Halloween candy!

Tell me: Are you planning to dress up for Halloween or are you decorating your home for Halloween?

Fall 2012 Color Trends

in , , ,
As the weather starts to cool off just the tiniest bit, my mind is definitely turning to Fall.  I can't wait for crisper mornings when I can wear my favorite sweaters and scarves!

In addition, I'm becoming more and more excited for New York Fashion Week, which kicks off with Fashion's Night Out on September 6th.  As I was taking a look through the Fall 2012 collections, I noticed several colors that kept popping up over and over.  These colors are going to be big this fall and I can't wait to wear them!

Fall 2012: Fashion and Knitwear

in , , , , , ,
I know it's still a bit early, but with all the buzz about Fashion Week in September, I'm starting to get excited about the fall months ahead.  Even though it's still pretty hot and sticky here in NYC, I'm dreaming of crisp fall mornings and cozy knits to wrap myself in.  As I was browsing through the collections from last Fashion Week, I was inspired by all the wonderful fashion knitwear that I was seeing.  Take a peek at some of my favorite looks below!
