If there’s one thing I love to wear now for Autumn, it’s velvet. This off shoulder taupe maxi had my name all over it. I’ll wear it when it’s colder over thick tights and a skinny black polo neck. Stupid high platforms optional till I concede to something less vertical.
I can’t do the headband thing but this chunky version sent from my girlfriend works and makes a change from brimmed hats. (Was this post really the last time that I wore a headband here??). Either way I loved hers so much, she sent me this one in charcoal.

Hey Karen – maybe this one should be for Michael – but how do achieve that glow from the light behind you – from the window…it looks dreamy! Is it exposure on the camera or is it done in editing the photo after?
Thanks

Karen, I’m a new follower and obsessed with your blog. As a fellow NYer I thought I knew all the hot shopping spots, but alas I’ve been proven wrong. Let’s exchange notes on boutiques in the city – maybe I can show you some new gems.
In the meantime, I love your champers post from last new years – it’s so inspirational.

That’s some really good info. I found Teeth Whitening .net and they have been amazing. The results are incredible, their price is unbeatable, and they even give me free gel when I recommend other people. If teeth whitening isn’t enough, they also do Press-On
Veneers. Check them out.
psst: If you call them can you give them my name?

Sia – not sure. actually photoshop I believe.
Loobs – I used Apeture – its a photo library system. I tweaked the saturation levels and cast.
Thx everyone for the comments!! I finally found a winter headband that I’m ok with wearing.
