Clover Canyon

I've always been an admirer of Clover Canyon - I love the color, the vibrancy, and the eclectic mix of prints and patterns they use to create a true visual piece of art. Krista K was having a mega sale and I could not resist taking home a few CC pieces....

 This Clover Canyon dress was originally $265 but I got it for $99!! The v-neck is actually meant to be worn in the back...so really I got two dresses for the price of one : )

 This next dress I passed on but I'm kind of having remorse...

 This next dress I bought for obvious reasons. I can wear with tights and booties now and with just a sandal later...oh yeah!!!

Quilted Leather.....Pants!

Major score:

I got these quilted leather pants at the Urban Outfitters outlet for $10...

 They take a little more effort squeezing in, but well worth it.

Happy New Year from Florida!

Cheekwood Botanical Gardens Scarecrow Walk

Since its Halloween I thought I'd post some pictures from when I was down in Nashville last. In Chicago, it was beginning to feel like fall but down in Nashville is was a cool 80 degrees this "fall" day. We still pretended it was fall and headed the the Cheekwood Botanical Gardens, a really beautiful spot with sprawling gardens, a historical old mansion, and a festive scarecrow walk.

 Pumpkins!

 Playing with the 'crows and scarin the 'crows.....
