Behind My Heels

I love Fall. And I love being able to transition into it with soft light weight items. It's really a great time of year. For the most part you can get away with just wearing a nice long sleeve and jeans with maybe a light weight jacket over for extra warmth. And yesterday was really a perfect Fall day. The temperature didn't go above 70 which made this amazing top perfect.

Lately I've been stalking my favorite online boutiques looking at all their fabulous new items. A lot hasn't really grabbed me, mainly b/c I'm not into fringe or crazy prints. But I'm always up for a nice oversized sweater and anything that will look amazing with my boots. So I went on a small shopping binge and got some beautiful new tops from one of my favorite boutiques The Mint Julep. And that is where I found this beautiful top I'm wearing.

This sweater is so thin and light weight it's perfect to wear on those not quite cold days, but will also be perfect later this winter for layering. I love that it's long and covers up my booty (since I don't have one!) and looks great with all my boots. And the fact that it's leopard print really makes me happy!

Last night I was asked by a friend of mine to be her guest at a Mary Kay event. I haven't worn Mary Kay makeup in years so I was excited to see what new items they had. All the guests we're allowed out a new look and I was happy that my look was Smokey Emerald. Talk about beautiful! I loved all the different shades of green with a gorgeous plum lipstick.

After we had our "new" looks we got to strut our stuff on the "runway". It was such a fun night of girl time and who doesn't like any excuse to play with makeup and listen to great music?!

I have so missed my blogging and keeping up with all my favorite blog pages. But over the last couple of months I've been frustrated with my blogging. Never knew how hard it would be keep up with an active blog and to get followers who are interested in what you blog about. Another reason for staying away was I sort of lost touch with me. After moving things were so hectic and chaotic that I started to forget about my passions. So now that I feel like I'm me again I want to get back into my blog with a fresh take and show off lots of cute outfits and amazing new crafts.

First off I have spent the last month crazy busy in my craft room. My neighbor had seen all the handmade signs I was making and asked if I'd be willing to consider doing a craft show at a local church. My husband looked at me and told me I should really go for it. After debating (and fighting with myself) I asked my friends via Facebook if they think my stuff will sell.. Needless to say the answer was unanimous! YES. So with my first ever craft show looming over me (T minus 5 days) I have been up to my elbows in glue, paint and lots and lots of wood! I'll make a separate post here soon with all my newest creations.

Now to get back to my passion for fashion!

To start off.. O-M-G I am SO happy the weather is starting to cool off and I can break out all my Fall clothes. Not to mention I love adding some new trends and staples to my closet (much to my husband's dismay). My newest obsessions for this season is faux fur vests. Seriously if you haven't seen any or bought one yet, you don't know what you're missing. I finally got my hands on two beauties. One from a new boutique I found (thank you Instagram!) and the other one is from Marshall's.

I'm still in love with the knee high boots, leggings, scarves, oversized sweaters and of course: animals prints! For me these will never go out of style. Since we moved north I now have an excuse (like I really needed one.. but hey whateva!) to buy more of these since the winters are so much more colder.

What is the one (or two) trends/items that you're most looking forward to rocking out this season?
