And a lovely November to you! I'm enjoying Autumn much more than usual this year, and I'm not really ready to stop all that enjoyment for Winter. This months inspirations still reflect much more of an Autumn tone than a Winter one. So here we go!

1. IN. LOVE. with this idea. It's pretty self explanatory, but if you need a hint: Danni came up with the brilliant idea of using locket rings with tiny notes placed inside to ask that dear question. I love the thoughtfulness, irony, and quirky-ness of it.

2. Here's something wintery! I opted to go with a bolder option this year...best choice ever. This lovely is from Old Navy of all places and is priced just right! Although a little hesitant about my decision at first, I felt totally justified while watching Breakfast at Tiffany's. Who should be wearing a similar orange coat but Audrey Hepburn?

3. Art, Bottle Caps, Love. Feel the crafty take hold and make your own.

4. Dear Bank Account, I'm sorry for spending all my money at Modcloth. How's a girl to pass up a dress with a name like "Ces't la vie"?

5 & 6. I was slightly star struck (pun intended) when I wrote to Jasmine Star asking if I could feature one of her photos this month. She wrote the nicest eMail back to me, proving that she's not only a fabulous photographer that you definitely need to blog stalk...but she's kind and friendly too. Win win! Thanks Jasmine! I fell head over heels with these images, and that outfit! The colors, the scarf, the coffee...it all works together so wonderfully! Lesson learned: Don't be shy when picking outfits for photographs. If you wear it with confidence, you'll be amazing.

7. It just makes the world go round when couples encourage their guests to loosen up at receptions. Sometimes a bump in the right direction is all it takes. If you'd rather give a shove in the right direction, try offering a crisp $100 bill to the worst dancer on the floor. Guaranteed break-downage.
