“Give a girl the right boots and she can conquer the world.”

What a CRAZY month of travel this has been! I’m in Asheville right now, working on a collaboration with two amazing bloggers and having a blast! Soon, I’ll be starting to share some of what we’re doing and also some fun pictures from our trip. We’ve had a pretty packed schedule, but still had time for some great food and sight seeing…this is a beautiful time of the year to be in the mountains! The leaves are just beginning to change and the weather has been amazing.

My next trip is Boston to visit my daughter Rebecca and then home! I’m really looking forward to spending time with her but I’ll have to admit that I’m ready to be home for a few weeks! It’s time to get the house ready for the holidays and put the finishing touches on Blondie! If you haven’t subscribed yet, click here!

The skirt I’m wearing was purchased last fall and i wore it in New York for Fashion week. There are endless ways to style this skirt and I’m really loving it with the tall boots (also really love these) and Etcetera leather front sweatshirt. Lately, great big sunglasses have been my thing and these from Quay are so well priced!

Typically, I love to wear booties because they’re so comfortable and easy to throw on, but tall boots are trending for fall in a big way and I had to jump on this trend. I can envision wearing these boots in so many different ways throughout the season. I’m linking these and similar below!

My fabulous crocodile bracelet is from Julie Miles…it keep the croc trend going in this outfit! Julie has just come out with a bee collection and I’m obsessed! If you’re interested, Julies contact is on her website, or you can contact me at Suzanne@crazyblondelife.com.

Just one more thing I wanted to share with you! This book from Hoda Kotb, I Really Needed This Today, is full of inspirational quotes for every day and every occasion! I think it would make an amazing Christmas gift!

Thank you all so much for your very sweet comments on my post the other day! It’s impossible to describe how much your support means to me! I believe with all my heart that life is meant to be lived joyfully and that joy is a choice. There are those who don’t realize that happiness is a state of mind and they live completely by default, letting their emotions determine their circumstances. I just want to encourage everyone, no matter your situation to choose happiness as often as you can because it feels so much better than choosing anger or fear or resentment. When you choose happiness, even in the worst situation, that’s when your life will start to improve! Love you all and thanks so much for reading!
