Faux Furry

Try and guess what I bought on my trip to Chicago?



STREET STYLE LEOPARD PRINT COATS FASHION WEEK INSPIRATION VERSATILE PIECE FOR ANY WARDROBE COLLARLESS COAT JACKET  BLACK TOP CROPPED BLACK PANTS PATENT BLACK LOAFERS SQUARE OVERSIZED SUNGLASSES CAROLINES MODE STOCKHOLM STREET STYLE




Oh, good guess! I have been looking for a leopard faux fur jacket for years. I really wanted a vintage coat but that is like finding a leprechaun riding a unicorn..probably not going to happen.So when I walked into Topshop and saw this...

**Faux Fur Animal Print Coat - Brown


I knew I had to have it!! It was the only one in my size and I only had to wait in line 15 minutes to try it on so I knew it was meant to be. 
I am so excited and can't wait to wear it. 
Don't you think it will go with everything? 
Little black dress, jeans and a t...the options are endless. 
I know it is not for everyone...but it is perfect for me.
What about you?

Let's Talk

Have you read Me Before You? If not stop whatever you are doing and go get a copy. Get a real book, not a Nook book. This is one you will want to share. Several friends had recommended it but I just couldn't get excited about it. For one thing the cover didn't appeal to me. I know, "you shouldn't judge a book by it's cover" but come on...


This cover looks like a fluffy, Victorian love story. 
I'm not going to say too much about it except, Will Traynor you broke my heart but I still love you. I am not a big crier but I had a little sob fest after I finished this book. I was dying to talk to someone about it and literally had to chase Bill around the house yelling out the plot but he just wasn't interested...go figure. So please, go read and then let's talk.

Back From the Big City

I am back from Chicago and I LOVED it!!!
Thanks to y'all's suggestions we saw a Second City Comedy Show and took an Architecture Boat Tour. And of course did a lot of eating and shopping.


And speaking of shopping I found a Frye Store - it smelled like leather heaven (Or a barnyard depending on your love of animal hides).
Here I am deep in thought trying to decide between two pairs.
After a long struggle a decision was made and I will show you what I got when the boots arrive. They shipped them for me so I didn't have to drag them home on the plane and also didn't have to pay tax: win-win.
Hope you had a great weekend!!

Country Come to Town


I am off to Chicago....
Packing was a challenge. Have you ever pulled out your fall/winter clothes and wonder what in the hell you wore last year? Me too!


But I am excited about some stripes and beads...
I am going to try to post some pictures on Instagram if you want to follow along...

It Shouldn't Be This Hard

Now that it is officially fall, it is time once again to begin the long, often painful, search for the perfect boot.


Some people might call this a problem...
I call it options.
I would have taken a better picture but I was exhausted after trying on all these boots...several times.



I did however commit to these.
More for fashion than exercise...
Thoughts? Recommendations?
