With the pumpkins, gourds and mums outside, The Fall season has official arrived. By now, most are scrambling to put together a costume or planning to attend a fabulous party.
Since Halloween calls for creative costumes, many of them will call for unique footwear. Shoes generally make the outfit, so here are 5 perfect shoes for you this season? Footcandy has taken 5 popular costumes and paired them with the perfect shoe. Making Footcandy’s top 5 shoes this holiday season are:
1. Masquerade Costumes:
Masquerades emit romance, mystery, and intrigue but who said you couldn’t emulate this on your feet? Charlotte Olympia’s “Masquerade” is an unique and innovative design that will compliment any homemade or store-bought masquerade costume this season. The crystal-tear drop and cut outs are playful yet mystifying. But perhaps the best part about this shoe is that it is absolutely comfortable and will get you through your night of dancing.

Praying for everyone on the East Coast that the storm moves out of your way and I pray that you are safe and secure In Jesus Name.
I often think that everyone is pretty good about styling; but I want to share a Bubbling tip in regards to the cardigan. A cardigan is a piece of clothing that is meant for layering. It is such a wonderful thing to be able to have a cardigan complete an outfit. And, if you get a little warm you can take it off.
In this picture I am wearing a floral cardigan and tailored shirt with my denim jeans from Macy’s. The cardigan reminds me so much of Isaac Mizrahi’s floral cardigans. I have on my favorite Dooney and Bourke vacheeta leather handbag.
I bought these jeans last year at Macy’s. They are so comfortable and I really like the feel of them.
I am reflecting and being thankful because God is so good.
Rara Avis by Iris Apfel Owl Ring
One of my favorite pieces that I purchase on HSN.com is my owl ring by Iris Apfel, it’s such a conversation piece. The ring is long; but very comfortable.
Cardigans can go casual chic with jeans or you could rock it with a sweater skirt or trousers to dress it up a bit. In a future post; I will show how you can dress up a cardigan.
The memory of summer is still fresh in our minds but autumn is rapidly closing in. Although we often focus on the negatives – short days, long nights, cold weather and rain, rain, rain – the new season shouldn’t fill you with a total sense of dread. Yes the weather is changing, but as the nights get longer we have more time to party and the festive season is the perfect excuse to get all dressed up and chose from a variety of places to go.
Whatever the weather, we are faced with the age of dilemma: what do we wear? Autumn/winter 2012 has plenty on offer and it is decadent, glamorous, moody and embellished to the max. The colour palette largely revolves around black, but there are plenty of gem tones, and traditional prints and patterns to liven things up. Dogtooth, herringbone and tartan give structure and depth to tailored looks, leather and lace spice up black and jewel tones bring playfulness to skater and prom dresses.
As always, New Look has a great selection of sleek party dresses. Here are three of our favourites.
It’s nineties grunge meets eighties prom queen and for that we adore it. On trend and on budget is the Elise Ryan Black Taffeta Lace Top Dress (pictured), £49.99. It’s black; it’s lacy; it’s got a full skater skirt and it’s got cut out detailing on the back. In sum, this dress scores maximum fashion points and it means business. Perfect for wowing on the dance floor or showing off your figure at a cocktail party.
Baroque is a strong look for autumn/winter. Detailing, pattern, gem colours and lots of gold and silver detailing make this decadent trend perfect for evening wear. The Misumi Barouqe Peplum Mesh Sleeveless Dress, £24.99 not only has this season’s must have – a peplum – it’s also adorned with details, from the mesh top to the all-over ornate print. We love this dress.
The floaty, ethereal Sienna Black Gold Feather Neck Dress, £42, masters gothic glamour in one clean sweep. The chiffon creates intrigue and unearthliness while the jagged gold feather metallic neckline brings it right back down to earth with a rock and roll thud. We like this very much! Nicole Richie shows us in a Mathieu Mirano dress how it should be done.
I was reading Katherine’s story about bullying and her granddaughter dealing with bullying on Katherine’s Corner. It made me think about one bullying memory.
To think that I post photographs of myself on my blog is a sheer miracle. Considering as a child I was shy and quite introverted; and I was starting to figure out who I was as a person. First and foremost, what purpose God had for me to be here on this earth. It was hard because I was always different and never fit in.
Bullying is such a terrible and emotional thing. As a child you really have to face your fears; and it can be tough to defeat it. I remember when I was in the seventh grade and I left my jelly sandals (rubber sandals that was really popular in the 80s) outside after recess. I had to go back outside to get them. Well, the eighth graders were outside and when they saw I was walking towards my sandals, they started throwing them around. I became quite frustrated because they would not give them back. I kept reaching as they were tossed in the air. Finally they dropped the shoes on the ground and kicked them out of the way. I had to fight back the tears because I couldn’t let them see me cry, I wouldn’t let them see me cry. I ran over and got them and went back to class. I don’t think I told my parents about that because it was too embarrassing.
I tell this short story not for you to feel sorry for me because situations like this made me stronger and tough. But no one should have to deal with stuff like this. Being bullied is wrong and I know a lot of kids are going through a lot of similar situations. The last thing they need is for a another kid that they have to see everyday in school harassing them.
Now I say that is great being different; but when I was a child it seemed like fitting a square into a circle. My mother would always say, “Baby being different is a wonderful thing because God made only one you and you are special.” I cherish those words each and everyday.
This is an interesting video on how to prevent bullying in schools. What it appears that can be done to make bullying non existing in schools can very challenging. I think it is not only the school; but also the parents partnering, with the schools to make bullying non existent.
The word of God says in
Proverbs 23:7 NASB says For as a man thinks so is he (paraphrased).
Please realize that if you are reading this and are being bullied or remember the past of being bullied; remember that you are special and God made only one you. You are BEAUTIFUL and don’t ever forget that!
If you are experiencing bullying, I pray that you are able to reach out to somebody that you can trust. Whether it is a parent, teacher, friend, or a best friend. It is not easy but bullying has to stop and stop now. Bullying prevention starts with me.
This was a cool day to kick in gear my browns for fall. I added color by adding in the pink printed silk blouse and burgundy tights.

The burgundy tights with this outfit shows how versatile colors can be; and how it can really change up an outfit. Yes, I am wearing my Dooney and Bourke birthday handbag.
My wedges are from Poetic Licence and and talking about cute. These shoes were originally $129.00. I was able to purchase them on clearance from HSN.com for only $29.99. Another one of my great fines.
Poetic Licence
Another view of the wedges. These summer shoes can be transitioned into fall with the tights. Step out on the wild side and give it a try. Now will I wear them in the cold winter probably not but this look is totally appropriate for fall.
