Fall Fashion Inspirations: October 2017

October 6, 2017 No Comments

As much as I love the long days of summer, I also love the crisp, cool temperatures of Fall, kind of like the one we’re starting to have here in East Tennessee. And with the cooler temps comes sweaters, jackets, boots, and scarves, which I why I’ve been looking for some fashion inspiration to carry me into Fall. I own a dozen or so pashmina scarves in difference colors, and I’m really excited to also pull out my plaid ModCloth scarf. I have a good pair of tall knee-high boots, which I got last year, but I didn’t get to […]

I really think you’re going to have fun completing this list. Or better yet, why not come up with your own bucket list ideas to celebrate this Fall season. Have you drank a cup of hot apple cider? Check. Have you shopped for new Fall clothes? Check. Have you watched the season premieres of your favorite shows? Check. Have you been to a tailgate party at a football game? Check.

Aside from the characters he plays in movies or on TV, Charlie is gorgeous and sexy as hell. He has a style that’s all his own, which is why he is this month’s “Man of Style”. In SOA he mainly wore jeans, a t-shirt or button-down shirt, and his SOA vest. He rode around the fictional California town of Charming on his Harley Davidson motorcycle and had a badass attitude as the leader of […]

Supporting Breast Cancer Awareness

October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month. Thousands of people will participate in their local Susan G. Komen races/walks this month. Knoxville’s is on October 21st. I will be walking/running to honor the women in my family who have been affected by breast cancer, as well as the dozens of breast cancer patients and survivors that I have worked with over the past few years. I had two aunts who bravely battled breast cancer. My Aunt Juanita was a 20+ year survivor before she was diagnosed with either pancreatic or liver cancer a few years ago. My other aunt, Barbara, battled […]

Celebrating National Consignment Day

October 2, 2017 No Comments

“I secondhand shop because I love it when someone else pays full price first.” I love going to a consignment store and ruffling through rack after rack of clothes. I have seen items from Michael Kors and Ralph Lauren to James Perse and Tory Burch, all at a fraction of their original {full} price. Today, October 2nd, is the first-ever National Consignment Day! Consigning is a great way to make smart, sustainable fashion choices and earn some extra money, especially right now before the holiday! {**This post contains affiliate links.
