Hermes Blanket

Why oh why does the Hermes blanket have to be SO crazy expensive? I guess it's in keeping with all things Hermes. It is a very serious lust-worthy item for me.

Of course SJP would be wrapped up so casually in one!

They are retailing for $1,125.00 on the Hermes website. Or you could "cheat" and get a baby blanket for a mere $700. Ebay had one the other day (it's gone now) in purple and black, but it was still more than $500 with a couple of days of bidding left to go.


Do you think they will send one to a desperate blogger for advertising their wares? Yeah, right.

Transitional Outfits from J.Crew

You know by now that I always like to shop the J. Crew Final Sale a couple of times a year. Right now it's an extra 20% off plus free shipping if you spend $150 (you will!).


I've put together two casual outfits from sale items that would work for this transitional weather. I hope you'll be inspired!


Outfit One: Carpool on a chilly October afternoon

Outfit Two: Drink with friends while the kids are at practice

The Skirt

This is one of my Talbot's finds from last week - the leopard skirt. LOVE! I plan to wear it with a simple black turtleneck or a white or cream silk blouse (which I need to find). It runs big so you might want to order a size down.

If you open a credit card you will save 15%. And they have this strange promotion going on where if you try on a pair of pants, they give you $10 off. Even if you don't buy them, you get a coupon for your next visit. Pretty simple!

Best Idea Ever!

My favorite Sunday mornings involve coffee and the new House Beautiful. I could decorate two or three houses from ceiling to floor after that combo of caffeine and eye candy. I'm only a third of the way through the October issue and I've already dog-eared several pages for future reference. One of them is THIS:

Headboards that are actually wall decals! They are by a company called Blik Wall Graphics and they come in a variety of colors. Brilliant! Twin size is $40 and King is $70. I just love that you can make such a big impact for so little money. Fun!

Dream Closets

I really need to overhaul my closet right now. It seems like I just did, but it's probably been months and months. In the meantime, here is some closet inspiration!

I saved the best for last. How incredible is this? Happy Weekend!

Comfy

These all look like awesome places to be on a night like tonight. Just a little chilly for the first time in months, but still very comfy, especially with a light sweater and a glass of red!

Here are some great wraps to wear while you're out there:
