For many of us, the crisp air and changing colors of the leaves in fall represent a new beginning. To me, it means sweater weather (love to wear sweaters, jeans and boots), fireplace nights, comfort food (soups, stews, hot cocoa), and especially pumpkin pie!

Colors used: Soft Succulent for the dress… Read More »
