hello november!

fall weather. i am here for you. that’s why i’m celebrating with a little texture play with suede on suede!! commence all the suede RIGHT NOW! i don’t own any suede clothing. suede shoes, a ton. suede is a delicate fabric that requires more care than leather. ever get suede shoes wet? it’s usually pretty-close-to-toast. suede and water usually don’t mix unless you have taken precaution to protect it. enter machine washable suede clothing. now we’re talking. this dress is machine washable #hellyes!!! and lemme tell you, i’ve thought about wearing it to sleep because it is THAT SOFT. while it comes with a suede belt i chose to style it with my Gucci belt for some gold contrast. i’d say the only thing that is missing for this dress is some pockets but you can’t have it all. pair it with some suede booties and you are G2G (good to go). just don’t get em wet, will ya? protect them here with this spray. i got chu.

side ramblings: i closed off the season with another pumpkin patch visit to @sweeteatsfruitfarm! i went from zero pumpkin patches to three all in one month-ish LOL. this one was a blast complete with a petting zoo with an ALPACA! i have some exciting news to share about the holidays so hope to nail down the details soon but this is my absolute favorite time of the year (i know you know)!! on a more random and spiritual note, i ran across this self-compassion.org website that has a self-compassion test which i thought was interesting. as much as we have compassion for others, self-compassion is more important. the results of my test were great, i was a little shocked/surprised and i know if i took it a few years ago i would’ve scored a lot lower which isn’t bad, it’s just that i never quite had enough compassion for myself but so much compassion for others. it’s something you have to work on & continually work on. there are also workshops and free guides/resources that will help you on your life journey and i hope you find it to be a useful tool! xx
