LIFE: HURRICANE SANDY IS FAST APPROACHING IN A STATE OF EMERGENCY

Happy Monday, Blogland!

Just wanted to let you know that I will be most likely be offline and away from posting for a few days due to Hurricane Sandy, which is beginning to roll in full swing! 

Many of us, including my friends of mine, were under a mandatory evacuation from Manhattan, and a "State of Emergency" is in effect for New York and New Jersey, with all tunnels, bridges, trains, subways and transportation shut down indefinitely.

Winds are picking up and the power where I am riding out the storm is about to go out, but I shall stay safe, not to worry! :)  Plus, I have my beloved mac and cheese on hand with a non-electric stove just in case! ;)

Flashlights and candles are on stand by, and you know I love my candles, and I'll be back as soon as this all passes and we are up and running again!

To all of you in and around New York City, and for those of you who have friends and family in the area, please be safe and an early Happy Halloween!  I am thinking of you all and sending extra smiles your way! :) :) :)

SATURDAY SAYINGS: HAPPINESS AND INSPIRATION

Happy Saturday, Everyone!!!

Frankenstorm is on its way, and I'm geared up for some fun-filled adventures despite it all!!!

In fact, on Sunday, some of us are getting together to make some homemade chili and fresh baked pies while we watch some football, which should be perfect!

That said, I put together some quotes to get you through it all!  Enjoy! :)

I'm hoping to be back on Monday, depending on the weather and if I have power.  Until then, stay safe and enjoy your weekend!

AFFORDABLE FASHIONS: HALLOWEEN LOOK WITHOUT A COSTUME FOR UNDER $150

Happy Friday, Fashionable Friends!
With Halloween around the corner, I thought I would put together a look you could sport on that day that brought in some oranges, but didn't mean wearing a giant pumpkin!  Plus, I know not everyone dresses up, however, you might still want to bring in the spirit of the holiday through color.
This also makes for great travel attire or casual, but smart look for fall.  I know I would wear it, and it is making me think I need a little more oranges and tangerines in my wardrobe! :)

(Look, layout and design created by Liesl Ehardt)

1. Gold Teardrop Earrings

Forever 21 - $3.80

2. Tangerine Jacket

Forever 21 - $29.80

3. Gold Leaf Necklace

Forever 21 - $2.80

4. White Blouse

Forever 21 - $19.80

5. Gold Chain Link Bracelet

Forever 21 - $14.80

6. Skinny Jeans

Forever 21 - $10.80

7. Warm Camel Studded Tote

Forever 21 - $29.80

8. Orange & Gold Medallion Flats

Lulu's - $18

9. Nude Heels

Forever 21 - $19.80

The entire look, including both shoe options, is under $150, which makes it affordable!  It is also comprised of many wearable and versatile pieces, which allows each to be paired with other pieces you already own to create more looks without spending more money. 

Hope you all have a Wonderful Weekend ahead!  It is pouring here today, but I loved getting to listen to the sounds of the rain outside this morning, so peaceful! :)

Side note, for all you Yankee fans, of which I am one, it was truly heart breaking watching Jeter get injured late Saturday night!  He is such a class act all around, which is one of the biggest qualities I now look for in any man.  

Just seeing how it has brought not only the team and Yankee fans down, but the press, and those not directly associated, is a true testament to the man he is and just how well liked he is by everyone!  We need more Jeters in the world! :)

See you all back here on Wednesday for...you guessed it...more pictures!  I'm also working on a little Halloween inspired fashion post for fun!
