Stole this over at IHOD blog:
"The beauty of a woman is not in the clothes she wears, the figure that she carries, or the way she combs her hair. The beauty of a woman is seen in her eyes, because that is the doorway to her heart, the place where love resides. True beauty in a woman is reflected in her soul. It's the caring that she lovingly gives, the passion that she shows & the beauty of a woman only grows with passing years."
~ Audrey Hepburn

This is what I have been sporting to work lately, statement necklace, blazer and assortment of bracelets. This year I am hoping to wear more heels, every since I had Kaylee I have been wearing a lot of flats. Need to "learn" how to walk in heels all over again, Cheers to walking tall this year!

Random fact of the day: The last time I got a cut was back in fall 2010! I have been growing out my hair for the past 2 years! I think it's time for a cut soon. ha! Happy Wednesday!

    I love the purple sweater. One of my favorite colors. And the necklace really compliments the purple.

    Awesome quote by Audrey Hephurn. The necklace really goes well with the purple sweater. I'm always wear heels to work. I feel so short without heels.

    You are wearing coloured jeans Yvonne! In my book, anything but blue, so black, white, smoke gray count! Love it and honestly...I wasn't totally sold on the trend at first. It was my Mom who bought them and said YOU ARE WEARING THESE. Try the ones I have on today...they're just a tad darker than regular blue jeans, and they're only $30 ;)

Home is the one place in all this world where hearts are sure of each other. It is the place of confidence. It is the place where we tear off that mask of guarded and suspicious coldness which the world forces us to wear in self-defense, and where we pour out the unreserved communications of full and confiding hearts. It is the spot where expressions of tenderness gush out without any sensation of awkwardness and without any dread of ridicule. ~Frederick W. Robertson Our home is not big nor fancy but just cozy enough for our lil family. So grateful that we did not get affected by hurricane Sandy and prayers to anyone north of us that was affected. Happy Wednesday and Happy Halloween! Taking Kaylee trick or treating tonight!
