{Give-A-Way Instructions at the end of this post}
There are so many wonderful things about Fall. The cooler weather. The changing leaves. The Baking. The Holidays. And, THE FASHION!
I am so happy it is sweater weather : ) I still feel lousy, but weather outside is fabulous.
My sister Melody (who I’ve posted about earlier and her fabulous fashion) is my featured guest poster today. I asked her to share some of her thoughts, particularly about accessories for this fall season…
Accessories are a great way to make any outfit all the more interesting. I am particularly into hats and scarves right now. I love throwing on a scarf with a plain T, cardigan and skinny jeans. With a great scarf, the only flat part on my outfit is my ballet flats. Scarves are so easy and effortless. Hats are another great accessory. Fedoras, cloches and beanies are all great styles each with a purpose. Fedoras are great for weekend brunches with friends and cloches and beanies are great for the cold winter days in the snow and wind.
Thanks Sis!
By day Melody is a High School English teacher, by night she is a crocheting superwoman. She has her own apparel accessories shop on Etsy (Lap of Luxury Designs by Melody). Her items and designs are featured at craft shows, in boutiques nationwide, and are sold worldwide.

Amber,
You will never believe this but I am an Etsy addict and several months back your sister's beanies were posted on the front page of Etsy (at the time I didn't know this was your sister) anyways I purchased 2 beanies right away because I loved them that much! What a small world...she is your sister?! And just a couple weeks back I ordered the rose head band. WOW! I still can't believe this whole time this has been your sister that I have been purchasing from on Etsy.
Anyways, my favorite post is between the "Princess and the Frog" and "Walmart Finds"! Your novelette is an amazing read, too!
I love your sister's chocolate cake with eggshell white bow cloche and I am now following her too!
