A fresh spin on one of the best decorating classics of all time

We had them when I was growing up, but being a child I rarely gave them a second thought. And when I was a teenager and not as into "home decorating" I equated them to stuffy victorian style interiors.  But now - oh now I love them.  Oriental rugs is what I'm talking about, and lately I've been seeing them used in ways that are definitely NOT stuffy and really plays out their beauty.  Just fyi - because I wasn't sure, I looked up what region a rug must come from for it to be considered "Oriental" -

Oriental rugs are organized by origin: Persian rugs, Arab rugs, Anatolian rugs, Kurdish rugs, Caucasian rugs, Central Asian rugs, Turkestanian rugs, Chinese rugs, Tibetan rugs and Indian rugs. via Wikipeia

Lovely fall, lovely fashions

I don't think it's any secret that fall is the best season for fashion. Jackets, scarves, sweaters - more layers mean more to play with. Here are a few looks that have me all excited...

This red coat is gorgeous...esp. with the faux mink scarf. Doesn't this model look like Barbara in Funny Girl?

I might have to go try the one above at the White House Black Market store because I really like it. ...not that I have anywhere to where it working from home and all...


all looks via White House Black Market

I was pretty "meh" about the military look, but I really like it here - especially with the belt to feminize it. And... I was suuuppperr lucky because just today on Ideeli this very, very close version was on sale for $44...and I snagged it! (You can see it below) They're still on sale with a whole lot more fall fashions, but you need a membership to shop on ideeli - and I have an invite code for you - membership is free and signing up is quick. Here's the link - www.ideeli.com/invite/decorology

Close match isn't it?

Leopard is in (isn't it always), and I like this toned down version in this rug.

This one is probably my favorite.
