Fall Fashion on a Friday...and a giveaway!

I am all ready for fall! I have pieces in my wardrobe that have been waiting 2 whole years for me to have another baby and shrink back down to be able to wear them again. I am excited to have a real wardrobe this year (not just expandable options). Here's what I will be donning this season. And. AND! There is a GIVEAWAY from my favorite Etsy jeweler, Crystal B., at the END OF THIS POST. (Kind of like Grover and "There's a Monster at the End of this Book," only it's a beautiful pair of earrings, not a monster...)

Let's begin:
Meet Cosette. She is my model for today. It's hard to photograph yourself with an SLR camera. Sometimes I manage it, but Cosette likes a little camera time, too. She also has quite a lovely figure to show off.

Here Cosette is modeling a dark denim jacket and bright, gauzy scarf. Find them HERE and HERE. On the right she is feeling a little shy in her gray wool cloche hat and button sweater. Cloche found HERE.

Speaking of Crystal B., just look at this stunning necklace from Crystal that I added to my collection this week. Isn't it DIVINE!? I absolutely love it. You can find Madame Bailey HERE. Purple sweater found on sale HERE.

Dear, sweet Stephanie Nielson sent me a lovely gift this week. What a fancy find inside the package!! This gorgeous Victorian-inspired wrap is quite possibly the most wonderful accessory I have ever seen. I am so happy to own one (more photos of how to wear it at the end of the post). Find it HERE. As Stephanie says, "It really is a beautiful thing!"

Flirty skirt on crisp days. Warm tosies on chilly days. Skirt found HERE, boots HERE.

I adore these boots. I bought them 3 years ago, and my plump prego peds couldn't handle them last year. Welcome back! And I finally found a skinny jean that looks good on normal people (aka, people who's thighs aren't rail thin). Find them HERE.

And finally, these photos are especially for my sister-in-law and beautiful friend Tiffany. She always excels at taking fetching photos of herself. So I dedicate this little bit of vanity to you, Tiff. We all need to feel beautiful, no?

And now for the giveaway!

Crystal B. Jewelry is giving away a pair of Madame Livingston earrings to compliment your fall wardrobe. The giveaway will END Monday night at midnight. The winner will be announced Tuesday morning (October 13) on my blog.

• For ONE chance to enter visit Crystal's Etsy shop HERE. Come back and leave a comment telling me which piece is your fave. (Then you can go back and buy it as a little indulgence, eh?)
• For a SECOND chance to win, become a follower of this blog. Post a comment letting me know that you follow. (If you already follow, you can still enter.)
• For a THIRD chance to win, tell me your favorite fall fashion find, with a link to the item in your comment. I will be doing a follow-up fall fashion post with all of your ideas!
Good luck!

Ooh, I adore the Secret Life of Bees necklace...very cool. I also love the Mrs. Nielson necklace,it's so perfect! I might just have to buy something soon...

Telley said...

okay, so at the risk of sounding like i just copied you, i have to say the madame bailey. BUT, i did see it last week (i've purchased from crystal b before) and i've been coveting it ever since. i hear you loud and clear on finally fitting back into your clothes, and getting a new fall wardrobe. i'm in the process of doing the same thing after baby #4. i like hte mrs. moody.

Stephanie said...

I've been a lurker for some time, so this is a great excuse to come out of the closet so to speak.

I adore the Miss Gwin Collier from Crystals store. So my style.

Do me a favor, dear Lyndsay. Box up all of those lovelies and ship them to me. I adore them all! You have a fab sense of style.

My favorite item in Crystal's shop is the Madame Bailey necklace. It's completely divine.

I love this photo shoot!
Your pictures are stunning. I like a model like you, not only beautiful but full of character. And knows how to dress, oui?
Thanks for the dedication! I actually have to take quite a few pictures of myself before I get a good one, but that is our dirty little secret Lynn.
