Oh man this line is so adorable! I love the whole Asian inspired theme…

I wish I was a mini me.

The cutest children’s clothing line, Tea Collection.

50% of the purchases from Tea Collection’s “Little Citizens” line goes to the Global Fund for Children, a foundation which assists in childrens’ literacy and well being in countries all around the world.

Sponsored post by Tea Collection, still it is a very cute line. Talk about wishing I was 5 again.

Fall 2009 Fashion is together, tough or a togetherly tough (think rock star chic). However, color is still key; pastels will give away to earthier and bolder shades.

Pale lavenders will evolve into royal purples. Pinks will even step up their game, turning smoldering hot in shades of fushia to berry.

Red will stay very strong. However, the reds will take on a deeper cooler tone instead of the warmer tomato~y shade

Tweeds and wools are two of the hottest trends of the season. Although tweed can be worn year round, it is best suited for fall and winter weather. From business casual to the cocktail hour, tweed and wool can tie your outfit together. Remember timeless is key. Think structured, sophisticated and sexy.

(Remember that the key to this trend is to invest in high quality, well-designed pieces that will last a lifetime. Buy to fit your frame!)

Another great fall look will be tight fitting pencil skirts. The length, however, will differ depending on the preference and taste of the lady, who will be wearing them. They will range from minis all the way to knee, mid-calf or lower.

Another big hit this fall will be metallic colors. The main metallics to watch for will be stainless steel, silver and platinum.

Iron Grays, taupes, and warm cream tones will serve as neutral shades for the fall palette. Without doubt, off white and black will proceed to find their places among every closet. Traditional black and white colors continue to be as powerful as ever.

Fall 2009 fashion has taken on an “anything goes” style as women chose: together, tough or a combination of the two.

I’ve got skinny arms, so when I saw this watch face…. I fell in lurve.

This one is so classic and clean.

Smaller faces and rectangle shapes work better on thin and skinny arms.

Kind of cool that you can chose different straps as well, depending on what you are in the mood for.

Black alligator paired with the rectangular shaped one.

And classy cool for the circular one.

I started this huge task of clearing out my closet. Why? Because, I decided it is time for me to streamline, downsize, and find my center.

Cheesy yes. But my need for purging some of my clothing from a decade ago trumps the cheese factor…

Oddly now, I am craving nachos.

So, what do I do with old handbags that I don’t need anymore?

Swap, switch, sell, or buy gently loved handbags.
