CORAL CAFÉ

Jewelmint

I was ecstatic when I won the Jewelmint, "Astoria" necklace from Luella & June! As most of you know, Jewelmint is a jewelry line started by Kate Bosworth and Cher Coulter. They have some great pieces to choose from and can be seen on such celebrities as Rachel Bilson, Gwyneth Paltrow, Sienna Miller and Kate Bosworth herself, wearing the "Astoria" above. Each piece even comes in a precious minty box, with a lovely note by Kate and Cher.

I love sporting this chunky, gold-plated necklace, inspired by the deluxe Waldorf-Astoria hotel.

I decided to pair it with a denim shirt and coral cardigan to make sure it stood out as a statement piece!!

I think the leopard print heels and belt add a certain contrast that matches my style, as of lately.

Many thanks to Jewelmint!!

Oh My Yum!

Bringing you some breaded fall today and boy does it look good!

How does a Grits, Cheese and Onion Soufflé sound? Or Chicken and Biscuit Pie?

I'm a sucker for Pumpkin and Cheese Spice Bread, myself.

And this French Toast Casserole looks like something my daddy would bake up!

Check out the recipes! It's a great way to get your mouth watering this month!

Friday's Fancies {Halloween Costume}

1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7

We're celebrating our Halloween costume on Friday's Fancies today and I am showcasing the Radiant Peacock Costume! I handmade a peacock costume last year and plan on wearing it again this year since I live in a different area code now. I'm sprucing it up more and wearing a dress instead of a tutu that I wore last year. I'm all into wearing wigs for Halloween so I will be sporting my blue, bob cut wig again.

Can't wait to see how everyone else is dressing up!

Cuff me

I would be ever so delighted to be cuffed in these beautifully styled cuffs by Kelly Wearstler!

What are you wearing for Autumn?

So the orange theme continues! I love all shades of orange: burnt orange, rust orange, camel and amber.

I think of pumpkin pie, cider and of course candy corn during these autumn months. It's funny how fashion sparks an image of food in my head. I should have just dedicated this post to "fashion foodies!"

When accessorizing with orange, chocolate brown and black compliment this hue very well.

Try adding amber and camel to the mix and you will be amazed at how orange becomes such a staple color in your fall wardrobe!!

Monday Inspiration

It's the week before Halloween and I'm having so much fun looking at all of these pretty pumpkins around the web. I'm picking up a batch of my own this week to decorate, and I have ideas reeling in my head of how to style my little pumpykins.

Have you picked yours up yet? Are you carving or painting?
