DROMEDARY DREAMS

Hello readers, Crissie here, from bug&Bear! How are we all enjoying our fall? I love the change of seasons -the brisk air, the chilly nights snuggled up in blankets - but I don't usually love the colors fall brings. It seems everyone becomes obsessed with orange - Halloween, pumpkins, leaves, pies, candy corn. So. Much. Orange. I've never really been a fan (maybe because I don't look good in the color...) until I spotted this little number at Anthropologie. Wowza - orange and pink and camels?! I love it. And how does one accessorize a bright orange camel dress you ask? With camel colored accessories, clearly!

BROWN IS BACK.

A couple of months ago, I noticed a trend in the resurgence of rich chocolate browns across runways and even in the pages of a few magazines. When I finally made the declaration that chocolate brown was back, however, a few of you cringed at the thought of this color (who wore out its welcome nearly five years ago) making its return. But, haven't we learned that when a color makes its comeback, it usually does so in a better, more fabulous version of itself?

Like in a rich, yummy trench?

Or delicious velvety walls? In fact, paired with sophisticated metallics and fellow neutrals, the brown isn't so bad after all. As long as we refrain from baby blue anywhere near this color, I have a feeling  chocolate is about reinvent itself.

I'm especially loving it in accessories that include a dose of gold. What do you think, dear readers, are we ready to let this color back into our homes? Our wardrobes?

PERFECT PALETTES:

Some palettes never die for me and this is one of them. I adore the combination of this rich green (with a hint of teal) and bronze together...



A kick of golden mustard or peach gives it a nice punch, and black adds a bit of drama. It's similar to this palette I put together last January - just a new evolution! Whenever I see color combinations reemerge in my life, I take note. I'm pretty sure it means they're ones I can live with for quite some time. What color combos are a constant in your life?

FOODIE FASHIONISTA: SUMMER STAPLES

Hello dear readers, Crissie here (from bug&Bear) with this week's edition of Foodie Fashionista!
S'mores are one of my very favorite summer traditions. It seems the season just isn't complete without at least a few of these tasty little treats.

Sadly, city life tends to make s'more roasting slightly tricky, so I was BEYOND thrilled to find this recipe for "Grown-Up S'mores" on the Fresh New England blog...




They look amazing, right? And while we're snacking on these homemade miracles, why not throw on a perfectly casual (yet chic!) outfit to complete the summer feel...

1. Fedora-ble Hat via ModCloth, 2. Rag & Bone, 3. Obey bag, 4. Buzz Off Bandana, 5. Asos Leopard Print Retro Sunglasses, 6. BC Footwear, 7. Shorts by Rare via Top Shop, 8. Essie Nail Polish in Mint Candy Apple and Mezmerised







It's like being at summer camp all over again... Don't forget your bug spray!!
