 Morning Ladies~I'm in California enjoying Napa and SF, and look forward to bringing you my vacation pics later on the blog, but had this post ready to go for you while I was away.Do you like a luxe look but don't want to spend over budget or buy designer clothes? First, Fall is my favorite season for Fashion, and I will tell you why. There are some fabulous fabrics, cashmere, leather, tweed, which add extra style and texture . Second, Fall is a great season for pattern mixing and layering. I myself, do not buy all designer pieces, but love a luxe or expensive look. Today, I am going to break down my outfit and tell you how to achieve just that without spending a ton.

Hello friends!I typically have a Midlife topic or Inspirational post on Fridays, but I wanted to post this  while still on vacation . We took these photos a few weeks ago when it was still warm, in the 80s in NC, so I thought I would just share them with you today, and talk about shopping your closet.Its funny. I have more Fall and Winter clothes than I do Summer/Spring clothes, even though I have been living here in NC for 15 years. I think its because I just love Fall fabrics and layering, along with beautiful jackets, motos, and cozy sweaters. I have added some new pieces to my Fall wardrobe, but also enjoy shopping my closet, and reaching for that tweed jacket I have not seen in a year. Today, I styled my neutral snake skin dress I I received from Natalie Attired, a box service that I collaborated with a few years ago.

Hello friends!Well, I am on a plane as we speak to San Fransisco CA, or Port Costa, to be exact. Hubby and I rented a house ( VRBO) with a beautiful view of the bay, and will be staying an hour from SF,  30 minutes to Sonoma and Napa. We will take the ferry in so we don't have to drive in town. I am so excited and desperately needed a change of environment and some escape. Excited to visit the vineyards, I have been trying different California  Cabs to prepare me for the trip :-)However, I wanted to keep up my linkup today and am happy to bring you another style from one of my favorite brands, JAMBU. Joyous, Jess-lovin, justifiably, comfort-givin, Jambu. As I saw the collection for these Fall New Arrivals, my eye of course, went to the fun, floral comfortable boots for women, the Lola, to be exact! The first time I saw the Lola, it was Love at First sight with the embroidered rose in red with vines of olive green on an olive suede bootie. THAT was the one I wanted, and chose. That was my color inspiration for the look I put together today! 20% off any Jambu Purchase with CODE EDS18.

 Morning friends!Tomorrow is the day - we leave for San Fran and Wine Country! I can't wait to explore and will later be bringing you our trip here, on the blog. The linkup is still on. so do stop by! Today I am bringing you another Fall look  from Soft Surroundings.  I just love their soft garments, the styles and detail in their clothing. This dress, the Raffinato dress,  a soft, medium heather grey sweater dress, called to me from their Fall collection. I love wearing sweater dresses in the Fall and pairing them with boots/booties.  "The mastery is in the stitch work, as the sweater dress discovers European refinement in this shapely slip over. Varied knits sculpt the waist and minimize the shoulders" The flouncy hem of the dress and shape adds to its sophistication.

Happy Friday everyone!Today I thought I would write a bit of a fun post just talking about how important it is to "let your hair down", and relax, not taking life too seriously. My mom will tell me how much she loves my sense of humour, and that I need to show it more. I can be serious at times, but I love to joke around, be sarcastic, have fun and not take things too seriously.  Read my post-Not Letting Go of Your Child-Like Spirit. You all have heard "Laughter is the best medicine." It is so true!

 Happy Turning Heads Tuesday friends!I am excited to share with you a look today from Soft Surroundings. I posted the Anais Maxi Dress and Slip as part of their Pre-Fall Arrivals, and now have several looks to share with you from their Fall line. Today, this plaid rust and brown dress, the Dorset Dress with a drop waist ,just caught my eye, as I don't have a lot of plaid in my closet, and it was time to remedy that!  Why not do some pattern mixing with my shoes, as I fell in love with these  Snakeskin boots.

 Morning friends!Today I am featuring a red dress from the Karina Dresses Collection "All Work, All Play Collection." There were several prints that caught my eye, but you know Iove color, and who doesn't love a little red dress? I loved this red print with black and white floral print.  I love this phrase instead of the All Work and No Play phrase that I just can't relate to.  Let's face is All work and No play makes Jess a very dull girl! It's always good to have balance in life.

Happy Friday my friends!Well, this is perhaps what I should be asking you!  I think it is one of those wonderful powers of Menopause, the problem of insomnia. I take meds to sleep, but would prefer other methods to try and that is why I wrote about it. Sleep is so important,  Dr. Buxton, a neuroscientist, in the Division of Sleep Medicine at Brigham and Women's Hospital in Boston, says that sleep can be disrupted by both medical causes and environmental. If you have restless leg, or sleep apnea, it is best to see a physician for this type of sleep disorders. " However, I feel the day to day, lack of sleep, often from worry, loud noises ( planes over head ( we have this) or excessive caffeine are some things we may be able to control. Making our living space very peaceful and comfortable is one way.
