FALLING FOR: THE PERFECT BROWN TOTE

There's something about a great brown tote for Fall.  It goes with every outfit, looks better with age, and it's functional and chic at the same time....what more could you ask for?  I'm always on the hunt for the perfect brown tote.  Last year Madewell's Transport Tote topped my list. It was so popular that it's back for another season.  

I am someone who doesn't like to have the exact same things as everyone else. I thought I would share a few brown totes, from sources other than Madewell, in case you're hoping to avoid a twin day with your best friend.

FALLING FOR: FABULOUS FURS

Faux or real, I'm falling for fur this Fall.  Wear it with a pair of casual jeans and flats during the day, or throw on a pair of pumps and black leather pants for the evening. The possibilities are endless!  Here is some fabulous fur inspiration.

FALLING FOR: POT RACKS

Frank Lloyd Wright once stated that the hearth is the heart of the home.  At my parent's house, I think the Kitchen fills this role.  This is usually the first place we go when we wake up.  Kitchens often feature breakfast nooks or informal dining settings, where homework is done and weekday meals are served.  When my brothers and I are home, we spend the majority of our time in the Kitchen.  Eating, hanging out, or just sitting and talking. 

These days, I am falling for pot racks.  They are the perfect way to showcase a spotless collection of pots and pans.  Pots and pans are usually stored within cabinets and often cumbersome to pull out.  A pot rack, allows pots and pans to be easily seen and available for quick access.  In addition to their function, pot racks also allow pots and pans to become part of the Kitchen's decor.  Function and aesthetic, two of my favorite things.  Here is some pot rack inspiration for the heart of your home.
