Some items I loved from the studio the other day while I was up there prowling.

I decided to pick out some items that will see me through Fall along with little things I cant live without right now.

It’s coming close to my second Winter in the USA and maaaaaaaaaaaaaan I’m going to prepare myself this time around!

This year is all about learning from last year’s mistakes – there’s no way I’m going to let the cold weather get the better of me this time!

I’m taking the layering trend on board making it pretty and edgy with these lingerie shorts and boots (these black buckle ones are super cool – I will be ordering them next week) to protect me from the wet wet wet weather.

The vintage brown satchels that were featured in the holiday book are perfect and the ideal size to carry my ipad around which has become my BFF! I have also had a little addiction lately for collecting vintage camera straps to jazz up my plain bags.

and now… the comfort zone that will keep me happy when the cold starts to bite – Hot Hot Hot chocolate all the time and the most tastiest thing ever, Sara Happ’s Lip Scrub in Red Velvet = YUM!

This is the beginning of my Fall Survival Kit.

while shooting the belle of the ball section of our november book, our lucky team got to spend a week at eglingham hall in north umberland, england.  i can see why tim walker used it as the location for his fantasy-like photo shoots, as it looks like a place with many stories to tell and secrets hiding in its walls. here’s a peek inside…

as a scorpio with a november birthday, i think this month really brings out my inner dark side.  the air begins to have that extra bite of cold and i fight the urge to sleep all day.  i’m hoping to decorate my place with twinkling christmas lights, lots of candles and warm scents to keep the winter blues away. for tunesday, here’s a playlist of some songs i’m listening to right now.

page15 holiday book chapter two: treasures

“twinkling gems add a dusting of mysterious wonder to your outfit. hang with admiration on your wall like a cherished piece of artwork. exquisite pieces for gifts, and for your loved ones to treasure.”

chapter two focuses on gift items so special we consider them treasures…  vintage chainmail evening bags, statement jewelry and delicate lace slips so beautiful you almost won’t want to wear them. The treasures were photographed in philadelphia by rene micheli.

jemma’s picks:

jemma collection holiday boutiques featuring blogger picks!

“holiday season brings warm feelings for me – a time that’s reminiscent of great family love. i get really nostalgic when i start to smell the season’s scents; cinnamon, mulled wine, figs and the crispness of the air. i also like that i can get away with wearing a little bit of sparkle almost every day during this season too!”

stay tuned because we’ll be adding picks from some of our favorite bloggers soon!
