If you’ve ever watched Funny Face Audrey Hepburn Quality magazine’s editor, Ms. Prescott made time to rhyme :
Think pink [especially for Breast Cancer Awareness]
Red is dead
Perfect for the approaching Advent /CHRISTmas season: Pine cones outside my school ‘s gazebo that I picked up after I taught speech today! (Fun fact: Last time I scored some was when I went snowboarding with my cousins at Lake Tahoe while I still lived in the Bay Area!)
Blue is through [including for my *Dallas Cowboys* denim tops]
I beg to differ, Ms. Prescott, because I don’t discriminate against any color … Bring on ALL of the above this season , everyday and always, please!
Bottom line: Fashion rules don’t dictate our lives + we may have pieces in our collection that’ll stay timeless.

To stay in the spirit for this season, I decked out with a little bit of my autumn aesthetics ~ ringing in the old with the new!
My little splurge to bring me cheer this time of year : this rad-in-plaid deer because plaid is on-trend (this one somewhat resembles Burberry) + it’s deer season (not that I’m a hunter) & rein deer seasonDOC to keep me motivated as I keep truck ing along (more in high-speed ) toward my doctoral degree ! Along with Doc are A&A TD toy for football season & my classic Halloween decor ~ including Ba dt z-Maru pillow ~ on this plaid spread that accompanies autumn yet also is appropriate for winter as we approach CHRIS†mas in red & green!
Here’s more info on my fall favorites to take yours truly through this sweater weather & before the snow hits our neck of the woods …
