Gosh, I love fall... but who doesn't? The lighting is magical in the fall, plus there's apple picking and apple cider and pumpkins and squash and fall flowers. While our current home is in shades of black, white, cream, gray, natural and rattan, I simply must add in some warm colors. Everywhere I turn I am reminded of fall and its wonderful bounty of warm soothing colors. Fall ...

I participated in a post for Ageless Style…
My dear friend Cindy Hattersley of Rough Luxe Lifestyle has an Ageless Style series along with Elizabeth of The Vintage Contessa. I like fashion, I do, but I'm more of a behind the lens kind a gal. I do have a pretty strong opinion on my own style and I love following fashion. I collect my favorite ideas on a Pinterest board that I named Street Style. Since I'm 5"10, it's taken me a while ...
