We usually think of animal print as zebra, leopard and snakeskin.
Well today, just think of this as the new spin on animal print.
We've got camel, penguin and cute little flamingos.
I'm all over this round up of prints!
Oh my Yum!
I couldn't help but start craving pears this morning when my lovely and talented sister, Dana, of Southern Inspired, decided to decorate her table with pears wrapped in twine. You must go check it out! She is the queen of DIY projects!
I can't think of a better way to bite into a pear, aside from these four scrumptious recipes!

Soft and Luxurious
Come and relax in this platinum tufted sleigh bed wrapped in a soft quilted comforter and sheets.
The pattern of the wallpaper adds a dimension of interest and sophistication, leaving the space so invigorating. The placement of the tufted bench is also quite appealing.
This bedroom has just the right amount of balance!
The pink peekaboo bed is just beyond charming! I love the feeling of being slightly enclosed and this seems to do the trick! I also love the variations of pinks used throughout the room, presenting harmony and elegance. Speaking of elegance, those leafy chandeliers definitely complete the look! How clever to add two in different heights! Of course, I can't move on without mentioning the door in the back with the beautiful molding and knob in the center! Love this! I've seen it on front doors before but placing it inside just makes more sense.

Lastly, this lavender room leaves such a pleasing effect. The arrangement is quite similar to the first room, yet we have a striking chandelier hanging above the bed and an elongated, leaf-patterned mirror on the night side table. Window treatments, hung to the edges of the ceiling, always add more height and appear just stunning to me. Can't forget the cozy, white cowhide on the side of the bed and how it certainly makes the space appear larger.
Here's a round up of some key elements when decorating a soft and luxurious space.
This is femininity at its best, if I must say so!

Time to change the wardrobes
It all of a sudden just got really, really chilly so I was forced to finally make the swap from summer clothes to fall & winter clothes! For me it's a whole process...I clean, organize, give away and throw away. When switching your wardrobes it's important to show your most wearable items in the front or most easiest access in your closet. I learned this tip from my sis and it works wonders!
I love winter snow boots and own a bundle of bedroom slippers to keep the footsies warm.
I've also added leg warmers and long socks to cover up the legs when wearing skirts and dresses.
I certainly can't resist the cuteness factor of them, either!
If you know me personally, you know that I adore my comfies!! Usually it's scrunched up sweatpants or those PJ pants that look like long johns. I looove long, slouchy shirts when lounging around. They're just so loose and cozy! I must admit, I can sometimes be caught in public wearing my comfies, while running errands (or going to a matinée). I embarrass some while bumming it, but I giggle and do it anyway ;)
I can NOT resist the adorable scarves, gloves and toboggans that show up in winter! I've collected more gloves than I need and have a scarf to match practically every outfit if I wanted it to. Of course, earmuffs are extremely important for mountain weather. It's a good thing all of these items that keep us warm are extremely adorable!
Last, but absolutely not least, layers. When a long sleeved shirt is not enough, you must add a sweater and coat to keep out the chill. I really like the look of layers, whether it be cardigans and sweaters over flannel shirts or leg warmers over top leggings and boots. However you layer it, be sure to keep warm!
Have you made the wardrobe switch yet?
Silly question... I'm sure you have since it's NOVEMBER already!!
Friday's Fancies: Lily Pulitzer Giveaway
Talk about a GIVEAWAY!! Today's Friday's Fancies features Lily Pulitzer's Resort Collection, and while I'm caught up in fall and winter fashion at the moment, this opportunity was too good to pass up!
Alison at Long Distance Loving has partnered up with Lily Pulitzer to host a Jungle Glam giveaway for up to &750! You must check out the details to be included in the pot!
To come up with todays outfit, I dreamed of going on a holiday vacation somewhere tropical! What better way to spend a unique Christmas. I spent last years Christmas in West Palm Beach, FL and I must say it was an interesting switch, opposed to the chilly and snow boot weather in the Carolinas. Florida was decorated with twinkling palm trees and meals consisted of snow crab and oysters! I'll never forget my wonderland adventure down in the sunny state!
Plus, how could I give up the coral tunic dress in the shape of what seems to look like a Christmas tree!
The green and navy shift dress was equally irresistable!!
Here's to wishing you a splendid weekend, wherever you are ;)
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!
