Autumn Bounty

Fall is such an inspiring and beautiful time of the year!
The harvest.
The crisp, cooling air.
The falling leaves.
Apple picking, apple pies & hot apple cider.
NEW FABULOUS FALL FASHIONS!
Delicious culinary delights created from pumpkins & squashes.
The changing colors in the sky.
The difference in the shadows on the ground.
Cashmere and boots!


Dior - A/H 2011-2012

Prior to my years, living abroad in Paris, I would mourn the passing of each summer and dread the short, cooler days. Come on, I'm a California girl... I didn't know any better! My point of view and attitude towards autumn changed after loving each of the four I experienced lived through and enjoyed in Paris. Cozy, chic & of course lots of chocolat chaude!


I've been one busy lady and I don't see it stopping! Business owner, stylist, wife, mama, daughter, sister, friend, etc. I play all the roles that the modern-day woman is responsible for. Do I always embrace them all, happily? No. But, this fall I vow to take it one day at a time. Enjoy the fall fashions. Embrace every chance I have to slip on my boots and cashmere sweaters, whether it be for playtime at the park with bébé or to a networking event with other women entrepreneurs. Sip on a chai latté and remind myself that even though life isn't perfect... that life is good!



We each only have 24 hours every day. I believe that autumn is such a wonderful time to take a step back and observe YOUR life. Do you need balance or refreshing in a specific area? 
- A closet clean out and re-organization.
- A closet purge... period!
- A pantry purge and organization.
- A car tune up along with an inside/outside detailing.
- A fresh jolt for health? Maybe you've been thinking about signing up for a new exercise class or joining a group that meets outdoors for runs or hikes.
- A special day or weekend, spent alone, to get back in touch with yourself, your dreams and who you are!

Fashion is fabulous! You know I believe that and embrace the fashion world. But, I need to be honest with you all and say that as an image consultant, I will tell you, the latest and greatest from any designer and store will not help you "feel better" if there is an imbalance in your life! Take the time for whatever "it" is that is keeping you out of balance, work with a professional (ME!) or call a friend. It is worth the time, energy and potentially a little bit of cash to get you feeling energized, organized and balanced before the end of the year holidays roll around.

Go out, pick a pumpkin, carve it and create something delicious with the rest. Find YOUR individual inspiration through color, taste, light or sound.

A toast to you, to the beginning of the harvest season & of course, to fabulous fall fashions.



Santé,
Kelli
