Sat. night my phone rang at 10:00...when i saw dad's cell on my phone i panicked and immediately thought something's wrong.... my dad does not call at 10:00 at night (actually no one calls at that time since i reached my 30's and had kids ha!).  when i answered the phone it was super loud and my dad was yelling "shannon do you hear this?!!"  i realized he was at a concert w/ my brother and he was excited about a song that was playing.  it put a smile on my face that he thought to call me.  i didn't want him to know that all i heard was yelling and nothing that resembled music.  i get my love for music from my dad.  he listens to songs he loves loud and over and over again.  whenever we are together he likes you to listen to the songs he's discovered.  it's cute and i realize i do the same thing....so here's my suggestion of the week (dad i think you'll like it).

Fall Favorites - Chanel Jacket Swaps

Canadian Thanksgiving has come and gone, and for me that officially signals the start of fall.  Although the loss of summer weather is one of the major disappointments of the seasonal change, fall fashion is one of the greatest benefits.  Blazers, loafers, and sweaters - oh my!

Riding jackets are a forever staple, but there's something so chic about Chanel's famous tweed topper.  From fashionistas, to ladies-who-brunch, it's a must-have for any truly fashionable woman (who can afford it, that is).


Thankfully, the elegance achieved with a Chanel jacket is available in a myriad of different price points, colors, and updated styles. 

Lilly Pulitzer Hagen Jacket | Estee Lauder Lipstick in Electric Mauve | Milly Chain Trim Jacket | MAC Lipstick in Girl About Town | J Crew Maple Tweed Jacket | NARS Liptick in Afghan Red | Banana Republic Piped Tweed Jacket | NARS Lipstick in Niagara  

So pick your favorite jacket, add a fabulous shade of lipstick, and take possession of your own future!

this past weekend, i went camping with my family.  i'm not a camper by any means but i am trying to embrace it b/c my kids think it's fun and you know what, it's kind of growing on me.  we camped at the beach and it was actually hot enough for us to go swimming in the ocean.  it was quiet the day and it was fun going back to the campsite and cooking out.  i will say though, if i am going to camping more often, i want an airstream :)

Pajama Sets for a Night In

There's nothing better than coming home after a long day's work and collapsing into bed or onto the couch in your favorite set of pajamas.  Sure, an old t-shirt and flannel pj pants are also easy and comfortable, but there's something more fashionable and fancy about having a coordinated nighttime uniform.  Add a glass of something hot (or calming), your go-to nail color, and a great book (or stack of magazines), and it's the perfect night-in.

So pick your set, any set:
1. Brooks Brothers Pajamas | 2. Wedgewood Tea Set | 3. Pride and Prejudice | 4. Julep Nail Color | 5. Pottery Barn Throw | 6. W Magazine | 7. Vogue Magazine | 8. Grace: A Memoir | 9. Kate Spade Wine Glass | Julep Nail Color | 11. Cosabella Pajamas |  12. CB2 Blanket | 13. The Atlantic JFK Special Edition | 14.  Vanity Fair Kennedys Special Edition | 15.

Tortoise Shell-Shocked

I consider tortoise shell up there with pearl, tweed, and herringbone as wardrobe pattern/texture staples.  Multi-tonal, it has the ability to complement almost any color and is now incorporated into a myriad of different products.  From shoes to glasses (drinking and sun), you can make tortoise shell your go-to pattern of choice in almost any aspect of your life.  For the truly obsessed, you can try your hand at tortoise shell nails.

I may pass on the complicated nail experiment, but I couldn't pass up these Ralph Lauren beauties (on sale!).
I mean, they're a classic....



Ralph Lauren Jewelry | Anne Klein Watch | J Crew Hair Accessories | Lookmatic Frames | Design Darling Necklace | H&M Shoes

And, frankly, whatever Grace wears is forever a classic by me!  Pearls, tortoise shell frames, and red lips - oh my!
