I am so obsessed with these gloves! I have worn them every day since last Monday with everything from this faux leather jacket, to blazers and a denim jacket with a scarf. So FUN!

OK, so I seriously think I have SAD (Seasonal Affective Disorder).  I am not a fan of the cooler temps. At all.  And the fact that it is PITCH BLACK at 5:00pm doesn't help. As the temperature drops, it gets harder every morning to get out of my warm and cozy bed, lol.

...but putting on cute gloves like these help.  And grabbing this hot pink bag before dashing out the door to add a pop of color makes me feel better.  ...plus, polishing my nails a brighter "summer" color makes me smile when I am not feeling the best. Oh, and wearing sequins {on a cardigan} to work just gives me a chuckle. :)

What makes you feel better when you are not having the best day?


xoxo, thanks for reading!

  8. Oh, j'adore striped tops! My mama has always rocked them (despite "conventional" advice which routinely eschews horizontal stripes on us bountiful beautiful ones). I have found them to be fresh and fun and easy to coordinate--which is always a plus for me!

    SAD. Guh. It's so real I can't even stand it.

    When I'm not having the best day a cuppa Lady Grey tea (with milk & sugah/honey), fresh flowers and a purty scarf never fail to brighten my mood :)
