Nope, not a Christmas list. Really. There’s lots of time left for that, right? Right?

It’s hard to believe that Halloween is over and we are now a mere eight weeks from Christmas. Maybe even less than that. I don’t want to know, frankly. It increases my stress level. And, for those of you who are already finished with your holiday shopping and have proceeded to wrapping, I say: “Keep it to yourself.” There are some of us who procrastinate such matters and when you brag, it’s annoying. Just, FYI.
So, this November Super Six is officially NOT a Christmas list…just a few fabulous finds I have stumbled across and thought I’d share:
1. The Marquette Shopper from K.slademade – I am obsessed with this caramel leather bag. It is big enough for a laptop, magazine, water bottle and all of the other necessities in life. It is fantastic. Shop here: http://bit.ly/1xTprmt
2. The Fleet Street Hoodie from Lululemon – Did you know that a Lulu store is opening in Brinton Lake? T-r-o-u-b-l-e. Check out his cool jacket! I love the reflective sleeves for safer jogs in the early morning or evening light. http://bit.ly/1wnHoLe
3. Indigo Frock Nail Gel by CND. My go-to autumn hue! Navy with a hint of grey. Pairs perfectly with denim and a plaid blanket scarf. Go to Polished Salon in town and tell the girls that Kelly sent you!
4. Keep track of your closet! Here is a free tip that I am going to try, too. When you wear an item of clothing, after you wash it, hang it up with the hanger in reverse. At the end of the fall, if you have hangers that have not been turned around, pack up those clothing pieces and donate to charity. Chances are, if you go an entire season without wearing it, you don’t need it!
5. The NARS Multiple in Siam – I am a huge fan of makeup that serves a dual purpose. This big stick of fabulousness colors your lips and cheeks and creates the most glorious glow. Stash one in your cosmetic case and one in your purse. You will never want to be without it. Trust me. http://bit.ly/1zVLBt9
6. The Mika necklace from Gorjana jewelry: This delicate bauble is the ultimate layering accessory. The look this season continues to be a graduated series of light, gold chains. Throw on over a sweater or with crew neck t-shirt and blazer! You can’t go wrong with this one. http://bit.ly/1zVM8LC
There you have it! Fall favorites to distract you from that overflowing bowl of Halloween candy!
Happy Weekend!
