Blue & White Toile

Shift Dress in Blue and White Garden Toile in Satin

 

I just got this blue and white toile dress and wore it out to dinner. It has a bit of a chinoiserie vibe.

Wicker Pumpkins

Small Dark Woven Fall Pumpkin

 

Every year at this time, Target puts out darling wicker pumpkins. They are perfect for fall and Halloween decorating - for the tabletop, sideboard, mantel, counters, bookshelves and more. They could be used outdoors in a covered entryway. They are available in an array of colors and sizes and start at $5. Mix and match these with blue and white Chinese porcelain for a chinoiserie autumn display.

Frances Valentine @ Dillard's

Poplin Origami Flower Boatneck Sleeveless Midi Dress

 

If you are a fan of Frances Valentine and Dillard's like I am, many Dillard's stores have Frances Valentine collections as well as a large selection online. Online is a favorite source of mine for Frances Valentine at really great sale prices.

Heading Into Fall

Collection Foldover Mixy Dress in Duchesse Satin

 

It's hard to believe that summer is almost over. But then for those of us in places like Florida, summer never really ends. I just grabbed this great dress in chocolate. It's also available in black. This is a perfect transitional dress for heading into fall wherever you live. As temperatures drop, layer it with a great jacket. I will dress it down with a denim or barn jacket and up for evening with a gold jacket.
