Sweater Weather?

Are you kidding me? It's October 26 and it is 82 degrees outside in Memphis. Yet I am blogging about my favorite fall sweaters. Maybe it will be cool enough to wear one of them in November. If not, they'll be perfect next summer at our vacation house on the Olympic Peninsula.

All of these sweaters are available on the fabulous shopping site www.net-a-porter.com.

Let's begin with this chunky mohair blend by Fendi. Yummy color, lots of style, and love the cropped length. Wear over your favorite white shirt with leggings and ballet flats, and everyone will think you are Audrey Hepburn.

 Etoile Isabel Marant is responsible for this stunning coat sweater. This casual piece is the perfect answer when you need a coat, but don't want the weight. Love it over everything, from a dress and booties to cropped jeans.

 Only Missoni could pull off this gorgeous ombre knit coat. You could dress it up by wearing it with some tantalizing lbd, or simply throw it over white jeans tucked into gray suede boots.

Can you tell I'm into a dusk color story? Actually I can't decide if this sweater evokes sunset or sunrise. Whichever it is, this is a wonderful addition to anyone's wardrobe. Of course you would pair it with gray or black, but net-a-porter paired it with a red mini skirt.... really fun!

And finally a must have from Thakoon Addition is this fabulous cashmere wrap featuring zip front, lots of fringe and a yummy funnel neck. Hard decision..... nest-ce pas?

Color Stories

In the last blog we talked about the inspiration I received from the spring runway shows. After much consideration, I settled on 4 distinct color stories for my spring 2015 jewelry collection.

Loving these new color combos. From top to bottom they are:

NEON neon brights mixed with a bronze stone called pyrite

OCEAN cool blues punched with pale gray and white

DESERT citrus shades with light accents

And last, but not least, DUSK all neutrals with soft pinks like a real sunset.

These neon bracelets with Swarovski crystals and Victorian connectors bezel set in sterling silver and pave diamonds are so much fun, but not for the shy, retiring plain Jane.

A final look at another dusk necklace... lots of shades of neutrals with just a little pink accent. 

Yes, mix it with this amazing fur vest and silver lame pants by Brunello Cucinelli. Soft, feminine, and spot on!
