Last week I had lunch with two friends and the talk turned to winter coats. We were discussing which were our favorites and what was on our wish lists, coat wise. I thought I would share a few options with you in my favorite categories, warm puffer, dress and casual.
I love this velvet one…..
This looks just like the Moncler
I am on the hunt for a great looking leopard coat..don’t worry if this is out of stock, keep checking, it will come back

You can never go wrong with a classic trench!!

I cannot believe how gorgeous this grey funnel neck coat is and the price!!!!!!!!
And lastly because at the Fur Sale everyone was asking for pastel colored coats!!!
I was recently asked by a very loyal reader to do a bar cart post….I love styling bar carts. I have one permanently set in my living room but I love setting one outside and also around the holidays. I think the visual below from Swoonworthy is right on the mark for what you need. I think the must haves are bar accessories (shakers, shot measures), fabulous glassware (I prefer vintage), an interesting ice bucket (or 2), stirrers, interesting bottles, and something quirky (like a cool plant or an asian statue, lucite letter of your last name, or decorative chocolates or candy). In the next few weeks, I will be doing a post linking some of my favorite bar cart items. In the meanwhile, here are some layouts for inspiration!!! Bottoms Up!!!

Now that Fall is in the air, I love finding soup recipes. I made this pumpkin soup last week . It was so easy, healthy and really good..I found it on the blog Happily Eva After. I ended up using Almond Milk instead of heavy cream. Bon Appetite!!
