I’m all over the plaid fad; in fact, I’m a little plaid-mad. Much as I’m eager to lay it on heavy, I know a little plaid goes a long way, and these beautiful plum and wine-colored three-inch triangle heel shoes will go a long way to inspiring my fall wardrobe. Note the wearable round toe and solid heel amidst all that plaid.

I’ve been feeling like a bit of a wimpy knitter lately because all I can manage are hairbands. I believe, in fact, I know, that there’s a stylin’ aran sweater in my knitting future, so I’m muscling up on my plain and purl stitches, and exercising my attitude muscles with this Tough Knitter tee. The slick silver sparkle glitter ink and tattooed knuckles leave no doubt that I bear the sharpest knitting needles around!

Brooklyn designer, Clare Stoker-Ring, was inspired to design these delicate brass earrings after seeing a photo of a flower reflected in a dewdrop. She hand pierced the tiny abstract daisy forms onto a brass teardrop shape to create an earring that is as simple and exquisite as the daisy flower itself. I'm so done with daisy chains.
