It’s raining so shine, when the rain starts to come down lift your spirits with color. There’s nothing like a pop of red or a sparkly nail to brighten your mood when the barometer starts to drop. Once you get home make some tea and curl up with a good book.
NOVEMBER RAIN

We spent this past Saturday exploring downtown Seattle and enjoying historic Pioneer Square. The rain was drizzling on and off for most of the day and the ground was a sea of gold with all the maple leaves that had fallen.
After living in Los Angeles for so long it’s really nice to have a change of seasons and a great excuse to wear cozy scarves and jackets.

HIGHLAND GAMES
I’m slowly getting used to the weather in Seattle, but all this rain and beautiful green scenery makes me think of another beautiful place with lots of rain and green, Scotland. And of course PLAID!!!
I’m a sucker for anything plaid and this season there is no shortage of truly amazing plaids.
(I’m also completely in love with anything from Rugby too.)
