Thanks:heart:
I wear heels for dire needs-must only.
Which becomes less & less, as I wear the nice comfty shoes.:biggrin:

Moon over arch shot is gorgeous!:nuts:

What is your bear's name? Does he plan to nibble and/or sip?
Click to expand...
Thanks.
Omg, I haven't named him!
But he did try to be dragged through some nibble plates.
When I got a bit clumsy & distracted.:noworry:

Mariapia, how was your planned day, wearing the lovely chanel bag?

Another event today.
Supposed to see new holiday decor trends.
And something fresh from Kate Spade--whose items interest for their whimsy. But never come home with me. Hmm.

Wearing same bag, bear, cashmere cardigan.

I didn't go anywhere special.... just for a nice walk.
There was a marathon on that day, with runners running past, I had to be careful, I didn't want anyone to bump into my lovely bag...:hrmm::hrmm:

Yes. I should go back to NZ & buy new deadly ponies bracelet design.
Then the earth's vengeful wrath might cease.;)

Dog & I hiked, thought about whatnot & enjoyed autumn sunshine.
Then the lost children on bicycles found us.:hrmm:
They had a map. But no idea where they were on it. And were thirsty.

I showed them how far they'd traveled around trail system.
Then showed how to find road.
Dog was petted and told he was pretty.

Saw them later. All good.:tup:

Lovely dog! I bet everyone wants to pet him.
Hehehe. It is very kind of you to help the lost kids. So they did not end up like Hansel and Gretel.

Yes, I fully intend to. I've already spoken to Canterbury about our new arrival, and he is looking forward to having a friend join him on my desk. I think he's making plans... I saw him trying to pull out a bottle of 10-year-old port from the liquor cabinet. It didn't work. It's quite a bit larger than he is. But perhaps when there are two of them, they can hatch a plan??? Oh, dear. :amazed:

Ha! Canterbury knows how to welcome a fellow bear. I would be totally here for the port, too.

Gorgeous scenery. Spider is cool!
Enjoyed the awesome weather here today. 61F is unheard of for November.
Will spend a relaxing evening on the couch flipping through holiday catalogs.
Seeing lots of red sparkly bags. I am ahead of the trend.

Fashionable ladies are always ahead of the trend! And sparkling red bags are just too pretty.
We have rain again. But, I won't bore you all with yet another Miss Plum pic.

remainsilly said:
Sounds good plan.
You are lucky with weather, now.

I think you SET sparkly red trend, by posting your bag here.:cool:

Was invited to holiday store event/show. With nibbles & sips.
Wearing oxblood bayswater with bear.

They threatened free makeovers, too--but no one slathers smelly goop on my face. :annoyed:

Your outfit is nice. And the bear looks gorgeous on your oxblood Bays!

Couldn't resist posting this. The super moon is just too cool.
Here it is at a national monument near me.
Anyone else have some cool pix?View attachment 3521425

Wow. Great pic. I need to dive into the internet to find something pretty from around here. I did see the moon, too, but I do not have a camera for such events.

Another very pretty outfit. Your clothes look still very summery to me. I am completely dressed in winter layers by now...

My daughter runs marathons. She knows better than to bump a good bag. In fact, she's liable to slow down is she sees one. Lol.

Ha! You trained her well, my friend. ;)

3) navy with black
4) lace & peekaboo cutouts/fun necklines
5) statement earrings
6) velvet/suede & fur/faux fur

Thank you for the photos and trend report, RS. A relief to hear that navy plus black is now officially a thing. I wear mostly black, and just bought a navy bag. Have been driving myself (and everyone around me) crazy trying to decide if I can carry a navy bag with all my black outfits. Yes? No? Not when I when I was growing up... but that was in the 15th century, when all sorts of things (white clothing in the winter, asking a boy out on a date) were verboten, and all sorts of other things (a hearty bacon-and-egg breakfast, plenty of sunshine) were good for us.

Sounds like we had the same childhood ElainePG [emoji3]
Remainsilly, glad to hear fashion updates! For mostly real people.
As I am somewhere between SEVENTEEN and Goodhousekeeping I enjoy hearing what we will actually be seeing in the stores.

I love black with blue--feel they enhance one another.:loveeyes:

Some trends, I choose to ignore.
As those huge neck bows. Which are making a comeback from 1980's.:shocked:

We all have our comfort zone.
Despite what current fashion dictates.;)

Neck bows are only for the young and those with one chin.
They also fall under the " no backsies" rule.
Along with snakeskin miniskirts, fringe vests, leg warmers, and babydoll dresses.
I do love leggings as long as they aren't see through and boyfriend anything.
You are right my friend, comfort is key.

That's funny, Murphy! :lol:
I still read Vogue and Architecture Digest every month, while knowing full well that neither bears any semblance whatsoever to reality.
