O Autumn, laden with fruit, and stain'd With the blood of the grape, pass not

All I've been pinning lately is art and soup. Here's some of the art. :)
I like that most of the colors are muted with the occasional bam! of lemon, mustard, coral or poppy.

the world is changing

It snowed yesterday and a bit early this morning, which means winter's almost here. (And so begins my hibernation.) All I want is to be warm, create art, and eat yummy things.

greensleeves . . . or pants

I really am loving green right now. I know that it may seem like it's a more appropriate color for spring or summer but I love it now! Give me bright green, deep green and olive green for fall. Bring me your pants, your skirts and your accessories. I'll take 'em, wear 'em, and love 'em.

pillow, earrings, shoes

What I want to be wearing this fall

Some jewelry that I'm loving for fall. Bold colors, gold and wood just do it for me.

When the world turns copper and gold

Shirt: Shade, Skirt: Thrifted, Boots: DSW, Belt: Nordstrom Rack, Tights: Target, Earrings: Etsy

It's been a long, but pretty awesome day. I am the happiest little Alison in the world right now.

I'll tell you more about it tomorrow. ;)

For now though, today is the first day of the last month of this year. Here are some lovely words to explain the beauty of autumn that is fast fading.

Delicious autumn!  My very soul is wedded to it, and if I were a bird I would fly about the earth seeking the successive autumns.  

~George Eliot

Besides the autumn poets sing,

A few prosaic days
A little this side of the snow
And that side of the haze.
~Emily Dickinson

Oh, and P.S., the skirt is pleather, from a thrift store for $ 4-6 (bad memory). I almost didn't get it but my friend convinced me otherwise. Thanks Amy, cause I looooove it!
