Thanksgiving table setting in amber and gold shades





I am almost done with my Thanksgiving table...now onto the cooking! And for my table I got inspired by all these fabulous table settings in shades of amber and gold..
Now that the table is set I can go to bed...can wait for tomorrow..all the cooking..and cherishing every moment with my kids...creating memories for years to come!
One of my traditions is I do my pumpkin soup and serve it from an actual pumpkin...I love of it brings a je ne sai qua!

And one of the things I will be raising my glass tomorrow is to all of you that visit my blog.. thank you! and I hope you have a lovely Thanksgiving tomorrow!

The look of Fall







Hope you had a great weekend! Fall is probably one of my favourites season to dress for...because you can play around with shirts, cardis, jackets...very chic! And it is not that cold that all the details get lots under a big coat. Love all the coats.. I added to my wish list a faux fur coat!

We had a fabulous weekend working as a family redecorating our kids play/study room. They now both have their own desk...a place to chill and play. They spend all day after school just playing in their "new" room.

BTW what is your favorite season to dress for?

Hope you have a fabulous week!

Cozy Up in a Fur Collar Cardigan

fur-collar-cardigan

Fall 2009 is all wrapped up in cozy luxe dressing. Fur is a major trend this season. Add just a touch of vintage appeal to your look with a fur collared cardigan. These cozy cardis can be dressed up or down. You can create a look that is sweet and demure or infused with a downtown urban edge. Fur collared cardigans are available in long and belted to short and cropped styles. Many of the collars are detachable, but be sure to remove the fur before washing or dry cleaning.

Distinctly vintage and feminine, Bryan Bradley's Cropped Cardigan, (upper left, $178 at NeimanMarcus.com) is pretty in pink with a brown natural rabbit collar. The pink cardigan is knit of a silk/cashmere blend and three-quarter sleeves. Juicy Couture's Faux-fur Trimmed Wool Cardigan, (right, $280 at Net-a-Porter) is a long belted cardigan. I especially love the puff shoulders which adds a modern twist to this self-belted style. Knit of 100% grey lambswool the sweater fastens with a concealed press-stud fastener at the front. Perfect for stylish recessionistas is a fantastic buy from Target. The Merona Fur-Collar Cardigan (middle left, $18.74) is a cotton/rayon blend with a faux fur collar. This button down style has a tie waist and the collar can be removed. Lastly, from Urban Outfitters is a cropped style featuring a curved single button front and a v-neck faux fur collar. The "Ecote" Cardigan (bottom left, $68 at Urban Outfitters) is a cotton acrylic blend and would pair nicely with a pair of your favorite jeans for a weekend casual look.

...More than a Road Trip



I had a family emergency and had to travel back home...Argentina. Even thought it was not a road trip it certainly had a very similar vibe to it as this editorial done for Vogue.
One of the things I love about road trips is that you get the feeling as if life gets put on hold and you can contemplate on your life, family...and yourself.

Hope everything is going fabulous in your life!!! and if you had a chance to take a road trip you looked as sexy!

Thank you for visiting the site...every comment took me away from my reality...and reminded me that my blogger friends!!

....BTW nothing like a cashmere sweater in "natural" color to add some glam to any rainy day! Definitely one of my must have for fall and winter!
