Okay, so I actually have a couple of really good reasons for not blogging in the past week or so. First, I had my birthday August 5. I had a really nice birthday. I went shopping all day with my son and husband the day before my birthday and bought myself some birthday presents. We had a great day, with a nice dinner and watched movies that night. Then on my birthday my brother made me vegan Thai food, which was totally delish and my mom made me a vegan lemon cake (yummy!). A couple of days later my sister-in-law had her baby. A beautiful little boy named Tyler Jacob. He was 5 lbs 10 oz and so little and cute. Then the next day we had a surprise visit from my mother-in-law for the weekend. This is the first time she has ever visited us so it was totally unusual and unexpected. Now I have just been recovering. I started back to running a few weeks ago and am loving it. I feel so healthy. I am down an awesome 37 lbs since May. It feels so good and makes me more excited then ever about shopping. I basically had to buy a whole new wardrobe. I will definitely have to share pics of some of the new items, especially my new report ballet style shoes that are beyond cute.

I have noticed that people are starting to look for winter clothing. There is not really much of a choice because summer clothes are getting harder to find. So what are the hot fashions to look for this fall? Well, it appears that tailored men’s clothing is making a comeback. This is not necessarily my favorite look, but I do love a tailored pant with a classy white blouse. Also in style this fall is the romantic look, flowy materials, fitted waistlines and beautiful feminine dresses. Now this I love. The hot colors are cobalt, purple and fuschia. Okay, so the purple this season is beautiful and the cobalt very classy, but fuschia for fall? I’m not so sure how I feel about that. Purses are going to the dark side. No more light or brightly colored purses, look for rich browns, greys, and burgundys. Lips are going sexy Hollywood red, foundation is going matte, and eyes are going smoky grey. Very sexy. Straight hair is out and loose glam waves are in. Overall, fall fashion is shaping up to be quite nice.

I have been on the hunt for a new winter coat. My old one is outdated and just too big, so I am looking for something a little classier, that I can wear with business casual clothing. Here are my favorites so far. Hopefully some of them will go on sale pretty soon.

First is this very gorgeous classic black full-length coat by Aspesi. This coat will go with anything.

Ohhhh, I love this gorgeous coat by Brian Dales. Love the color and the pattern. It is sooo fabulous.

The blue in the CNC Costume National Coat is so awesome. It is clearly not cobalt, but so fabulous none-the-less.

This pink Ermanno Scervino Mid length jacket is my absolute favorite. I totally love it. It is so warm and cozy looking, yet so cute.

Finally, I love this short Miss Sixty Jacket. I particularly love the neckline.

It is soooo hard to find super fashionable, warm, flattering and vegan winter coats. I am still looking for heavier winter coats for you East Coasters. This is definitely not an easy task, but I will not give up. Hope everyone is doing well and that you are having a great week. Look for more winter coats later this week, and some fabulous winter boots that I have been scouting.
