Fun Things by korse featuring zipper jeans

 

What colors are you into these days?

Me? Grey. Lately I've been really loving how calm that color is for me.

I used a grey design on my website, blog, twitter,

and now I'm here dedicating a blog post about it.

Hee! Hee!

And don't think it's a boring color. I've been inspired by so many color combinations with grey.

Here's what my inspiration folder looks like:

How to tie a scarf...like a Parisian

The weather here in Florida has been going up and

down...literally. They forecasted today's high at 72. 

Warm and sunny. Yeah, it doesn't quite feel like Christmas.

Last week the highs were in the 50's and I was wearing my

comfy Ugg boots around town. Now I'm wearing my flip-flops.

Even though it's warm in the afternoon, the mornings and evenings can get chilly. Perfect for wearing a light scarf!

I love wearing a scarf around my neck, but I haven't quite mastered the different techniques of wearing one so chic. 

That's when I stumbled upon and discovered this video made by Gillian. Love her quick tutorial!

I admit that I watched and then ran to my bedroom mirror to quickly practice some of the knots. Super fun and simple!

Do you wear a scarf? If so, how are you wearing yours?

 

Daily comfort

 I've been really loving the colors:

pink along with both light and dark gray. 

Maybe because it's cold outside and fits the mood of winter?

What colors are you noticing and enjoying now?

My Style File

I can't believe Thanksgiving surpassed us so quickly. Where did time go? It seems like I haven't still fully recovered from Halloween, and now as I look upon my calendar...I can see Christmas approaching. 

And the weather has been so nice to us this year. Right now in the Panhandle Florida, I'm experiencing highs of 67 degrees and lows of 55. Perfect. But eventually the temperatures will drop. We've experienced cold weather in the mid-40's before and with that I've been having fun with Polyvore and dressing myself in warm winter clothes.

And so, I'm sharing my style file with you.

My inspiration was Ali Macgraw. Classic.

Finally! A Super Easy Fishtail Braid Tutorial

If you have a daughter(s) like me, then you may

have ventured into trying different

hair techniques on your girls.

Some may have come out without much success.

For me, two come to mind:

the French and Fishtail Braids.

I know. I know. Super easy for some of you, but for

me I need a REALLY good visual

and some hand-holding along the way. ;)

By accident I found this wonderful, super easy tutorial. 

I knew I had to share it with you, in case you were like me :)

By the way, don't you just love Lauren Conrad?

Zippered bag Inspiration

I really like this photo for some reason. Pinned it onto my Vision Board and hope to get inspired with it somehow. I like the zippered bag. Maybe something like this in the future for my store? But bigger? It would be wonderful to organize my business documents or better...my scrapbooking supplies on the go with this pretty gem. What do you think?
