OCTOBER OBSESSIONS

October is a extra special month for me, it's my favorite. I love the weather, football and Halloween. It's my husband's favorite time of year too, that's why we got married on October 4th three years ago. I look forward to celebrating our anniversary this month and I am also looking forward to launching my two new sites for Kayte Designs and Crazy Good Designs (more on that coming soon). I'm starting this fantastic month off with a few things that I am totally obsessed with right now. As I've mentioned a few time, we can look forward to a lot of deep, royal colors this fall. I love this navy blue nail polish in a matte finish by OPI. I also encourage you to check out the Drawing Study bench on Anthropologie's site; there's a variety of one-of-a-kind benches designed by Leslie Oschmann.  The legs are repurposed from antique stools and the wood bench top is beautifully collaged with original sketches and remnants of Oschmann's old works. Obsessed!

I SPY SOMETHING: PLAID

Today I had my first Pumpkin Spice Latte of the season and it's got me in a Fall kind of mood. Fall is my favorite season; I love sweaters, boots, scarves and PLAID. This year the big colors for Fall and Winter are going to be jew tones- think Ruby, Emerald, Amethyst, and Topaz. These deep and decadent colors are starting to pop up in fashion and interior accessories, so I thought I'd share some of my favorite fall plaid products with you. I have to say the coolest of the bunch is the close up photograph, Plaid Shirt No 4. This deep wood mounted print is by Justin Belmont, each print is signed and numbered.
