Weekend Links

Fall has finally arrived! In celebration of chilly temperatures and falling leaves here are Fall themed weekend links!

Granted, I'll drink a cup of cocoa even on the hottest day of the year, but it's a special treat when the temperatures begin to drop. Doesn't Lavender Hot Chocolate seem like a lovely idea?

In preparation of winter hibernation, it might be time to think about doing a little redecorating your living space. A super sized picture might be a nice addition.

If you've already begun hibernation, and are lucky enough to have an iPad, why not make your own font while you're snuggled in?

Now is a good time to stock up on documentaries before the snow days come!

Need a cheat sheet for your Autumn shopping? This one has everything you'll want in your closet!

I have a huge love affair with couscous that started when I worked in a Moroccan restaurant and these couscous recipes are definitely on my to-try list!

Have a lovely Sunday!

Campaign Style 2012: Ann Romney Edition

It isn't uncommon to see Ann Romney stepping out in bright colors and bold prints or accessorizing with statement pieces like chunky necklaces or wide belts. Her go-to pieces are wrap dresses and skirt suits. 

Ann Romney isn't afraid to be a little daring with her outfits! She prefers clothes with simple silhouettes that she can make her own by pinning on a funky brooch or draping a shawl over. 

 

What I love most about Ann Romney's style is that she isn't afraid to make a statement even at important functions! She picks designs that flatter her figure (read: cinch her waist) in hues that compliment her coloring. I also love her accessories! I'm definitely inspired to go buy some vintage brooches and oversized watches.

Thoughts? What's your favorite way to accessorize?

Campaign Style 2012: Michelle Obama Edition

If you've been following the 2012 Election, you've surely noticed the fashion face-offs between Michelle Obama and Ann Romney (and let's be serious - Janna Ryan and Dr. Jill Biden haven't been looking too shabby either). There have been scathing articles about the costs of dresses and criticisms of fashion choices, but most of all it's been a lesson in personal style. 

It's impossible to say that Michelle Obama doesn't have a defined sense of style. It's clear from her signature sleeveless A-line dresses and her delicate kitten heels that she knows how to dress the part of First Lady.

 

This First Lady seriously loves A-line dresses! She picks delicate prints and often pairs her dresses with ladylike flats or low heels. She shows off her super toned arms (there are articles and workout plans dedicated to them!) with sleeveless dresses and cinches her waist with thick belts! If you're looking for a modern lady to copycat, Michelle Obama is a good place to start!

What's your favorite campaign look? Do you have a signature article of clothing?
