This Fall: Sweaters!

This Fall, sweaters are stepping up in a big expensive way. As I was flipping through my magazines and browsing the world wide web, I kept seeing Intarsia sweaters. Yes, Intarsia! The term was not familiar to me, so I looked it up. Well, Intarsia is a form of knitting resembling a mosaic pattern that is visible on both sides of the fabric. Just think of those terrible Christmas sweaters. Ha! I definitely didn't know that type of knit was called Intarsia. Well, it's surely a classic knit and it's huge for the upcoming season. They are a bit heavy on the pockets, but I found a few that were a bit lighter. Intarsia, embellished, or printed; the sweater is looking real exciting for Fall! Nothing like a cozy sweater!

Bags I'm Screaming About...

but, have no business buying!!! Spring is almost here and with Spring comes renewal, reorganization, freshness, lots of pretty flowers blooming, and a NEW BAG. Ha! Yes, I think a new bag is a great way start Spring off just right! Don't let me get you ladies in trouble with your husbands or your pocket, but if a new bag is not in your budget...bring out an old one you have not used in a while, take it to the shoe repairman and have it spruced up. Bring it back to life for Spring!

Here's a little inspiration for your Spring bag shopping...
