Hello Darlings,

Whew, it has been a crazy summer...full of unexpected events and never ending study sessions! As the summer is coming to a halt and I am counting down the days to my birthday...I must admit that I am looking forward to a start of a new season.

It is not only because I adore fall fashions, but because fall is a beginning of something new. It is the time to pack away summer closet and unpack the fall attire, decide on a darker and richer hue for the hair do, switch from sherbets to burgundies on your nails, tone down the pink lip color, take out the cashmere reserves, and of course step forward with booties and boots! How can it not be exciting?The beautiful coats, the stunning scarfs, a million ways to layer a cardi, the opaque tights, and of course the leather jackets! Just the thought of a beautiful fall day, with a hot coffee in hand, absorbing the last rays of sunshine, surrounded by the falling leaves and the golden colors..makes me feel all warm and fuzzy inside :)

Hello Darlings,

I HATE red! It's always been that way and it's quite frustrating. I've always thought that it was vulgar and obnoxiously loud. Which in some ways—when worn wrong—is true but lately I've been attracted to all things red.

Yes, including the hair color :P I've come to realize at how beautiful and classic it is. Although provocative in nature, red is very powerful and subdued. I just can't believe that it took me about 22 years to realize that I actually LOVE red! And because of my newly discovered passion for red.... I would like to share this stunning editorial from Harper's Bazaar!

Enjoy!

Hello Darlings,

Yesterday, I showed my support for Canadian Cancer Society Girls Night In program while spending some much needed quality time with my mom. This amazing program focuses on funding leading-edge research for women's cancers, specifically breast, cervical, ovarian and uterine. Every little bit helps, so sign up and host your own girls night in or out! It can be as small and intimate as mine or a big fiesta... For more information on the program check out, Girls Night In.

There is another way to get involved by participating in North York General Hospital's Underwear Affair on August 28. The mission of the Underwear Affair is to bring awareness to down there-ness and to uncover a cure for below-the-waist cancers. Following the 10K/5K walk is an EXPOsed Afterparty. With Love…readers can sign up for The Underwear Affair for only $15! Just enter the following discount code when registering: With Love

Regardless of the cause just remember every effort counts, so please get involved!!! Not only did I have fun expressing my support but I am back with an outfit post and seven steps to stay healthy :)
