Top 10 Must Haves for Winter...

Mini Dress – Given the influence of the sixties’ style and mod shapes this season, it isn’t a surprise that the mini dress makes a comeback.

 Shirt Dress/Sweater Dress – Dressing to the hilt seems to be the trend this season so the long-sleeve shirt dress or sweater dress is a cool cover up that will do the trick.

Slouch boots – Over pants or skinny jeans, or with a shirt dress or a mini skirt, slouch boots are mandatory must-haves.

Big, bold and playful jewelry – This is the time to throw caution to the wind and try bold styles in jewelry – look for large gold or silver linked chain intermixed with gemstones, pearls or crystals.

Pumped pumps – No doubt about it, thick and chunky heels aren’t for the dainties but get used to it because they’re hot this season.

 

Flared pants – The wide-leg trousers and jeans reaffirm the cyclical nature of fashion styles. This seventies inspired must-have resurfaces (yet again) as a welcomed alternative to skinny pants.

40’s inspired hat – So we’ve got a little bit of 60’s, a dash of 70’s and now we’ve got a little somethin’ somethin’ from the 40’s insfluencing this fall and winter’s fashion trend. The 40’s inspired cap is a sophisticated alternative to hats of past seasons.

Supersize tote – Finally a practical bag that can haul everything that we ever wanted to carry. The extra-large tote is a welcome relief to those who need to lug more than just their wallet and iPod.

Patent Belt – The waist-cincher must-have for this season is patent in material – again, a trend recycled from past eras.

Tie Neck Top – Feminine and pretty, the tie neck blouse adds pure sophistication to any wardrobe.

Little Ms. Muffit sat on her horse.

Then a spider

sat down beside her .

And made her jump.

Next there was a big big bump.

Poor Ms. Muffit she was just six.

Bugs and Flowers.

Bees love roses they taste sweet.

Butterflies like sunflowers it makes them happy.

Ladybugs love lilies it lets them buzz.

Butterflies are pretty.

Bees are buzzy.

Ladybugs are spotted.

Bugs and Flowers are cool!
