November Cravings

November is finally here and it's one of my favorite months. For one thing, I work in a school in New Jersey and we have what's known as "NJ Teachers Convention" -- so we get the first Thursday and Friday of the month off. Who doesn't love a four day weekend? Add that to Thanksgiving vacation this month, and November tends to FLY by. Plus now that Halloween is over, it's now ok to have the holidays on the brain and get in the festive mood. Christmas music is officially acceptable to be played. Holiday shopping can be started. Merriment and joy can officially be smelled in the air :) And now that it's gotten much colder, I've been craving some warm and cozy clothes to get me through. I've been really attracted to the red, black and white combo lately and loving wine colored nails. And P.S. red cups are officially out and about. That means business people :) Here are some pieces that I'm currently craving to add to my wardrobe.

Equipment black zip sweater / Even odd red sleeveless vest / Acne Studios highwaisted skinny jeans / Tory Burch brown leather bootie / Michael Kors drawstring shoulder bag / Gorjana chevron bracelet / Gorjana trio ring / Yves Saint Laurent brown lens sunglasses / Kate Spade tech accessory / Cream nail polish

What have you been craving lately?

Are the holidays on your mind yet?

#movember

Happy Movember everyone! Not sure what Movember is? Well you can read more about it here, but basically it is a month long event to raise awareness for men's health issues -- all while the guys have some fun and get an excuse to grow these mustaches in the process. So to commemorate the occasion, I put together a collection of the best 'staches I could find online. Enjoy

| For the Guys |

Mustache hat // Iphone cover case // 7 For All Mankind The Movember Jean: Carsen Modern Straight Leg In... // 7 For All Mankind® 'Slimmy - Limited Edition Movember Collection' Slim... // Movember 2012 Fighting Prostate Testicular Cancer With Mustaches // Super hodinky s knírkem na Movember 4 barvy

| For the Ladies |

Aéropostale shiny shirt // Madden Girl closed toe shoes // Abbey Dawn flat loafer // Aéropostale neon purse // Forever 21 ring // Forever 21 tech accessory // Soup // Shot Glass Set - Mustaches

D has been supporting Movember for a while now. This lovely picture was from Movember 2011 I believe (although I'm not sure because I think I blocked this month out of my memory!) The mustache was in full force and I HATED it. I kid you not, we actually broke up over the mustache!! Looking back on it now it was all in good fun, but at the time the mustache, while raising awareness for men's health, raised awareness in me how much I hate the whole 70's adult film star look. YUCK. Love you though ; )

This years mustache is feeling more manageable, mostly because I told D it has to be a full beard or nothing at all. I actually don't mind the beard look and think D might look pretty cute rockin' the lumber jack look! Right now it's still in the beginning stages so it's nothing too drastic. Ask me again how I feel about it after Thanksgiving!

having a little penne ala vodka and white white, in my mustache wine glass of course!

So for anyone who would like to raise awareness and support men's health issues including and would like to support D and his ever growing mustache, you can check out his team's link here. Remember, it's all going to cancer research for men!

So ladies tell me, are any of you suffering through Movember like I am? 

Are your men growing 'staches for a good cause??

Cold November Rain

Going along with the theme of this years Halloween costume, I thought this post was appropriately titled. Plus it's one of D and mine's favorite Guns n' Roses song - such a classic. Not to mention, November is one of those months where you don't really know what you're going to get weather wise - rain, snow, warm or cold. But lately here in Jersey, we've been experiencing some cold November rain, and here's the perfect cozy outfit to get me through.

| details |

J.Crew sweater // Aéropostale black quilted vest // Hunter wellington boots // Tory Burch black handbag // Juicy Couture beanie // Forever 21 nail polish // ceramic mug // Jonathan Adler Dunbar Road Umbrella

And for those of you who also love the song, or have never heard of it (really?!) -- I'll leave you with this classic awesomeness - complete with guitars and big hair. Amazing.

November Rain

Hope you all have a fabulous day : )
