Summer is in full swing, yet I'm ready to transition into the next season. Don't get me wrong, I am loving the Seattle summer weather, but somehow my collection of gingham + sandals aren't cutting the sartorial mustard, and I'm craving autumnal pieces such as lightweight jackets + sweaters, dresses paired with pants, and....boots! My mind is already picking out favorite outfits for Fall while my body is decked in in summer time favorites.
This month, I'm craving shiny things- like gold shoes, glitter eye shadows, bright bold abstract prints, and glossy black. As in shiny jet black hair. I'm thinking about doing a complete turn around to my previous incarnation as Raspberry head, and going Johnny Cash on you. Maybe its being surrounded by all these Seattle crows. But glossy black, is where it's at.

I now share a home with a couple of sweet housemates- a lovely woman named Amy and an adorable puggle! So I'll be taking a week or so off blogging to get myself situated, so please excuse my absence in the bloggersphere. I have A LOT of unpacking to do!

Ooo, I love this picture of you. foxy .
What a fantastic shot of you Bella... strange, I was in the same frame of mind too, love me some black and gold... plus I'm also ready for the weather to cool down a notch so I can wear something other than high summer clothes!
x.o.x.o
I just had to swing on in and check out your new album! You know, the one with the bright yellow cover and a glorious picture of you on the front.
I'm guessing some of the tracks on your album would be called:
Rosebud Riffs
Rockin Raspberry Head
Over 40 Swing
Blog till you drop
Where can I pick up a copy? Easy Street Records by chance??
Congrats on your new digs!
Happy Settling In and thanks for the leads on new blogs.
What a great pic! Don't wish your summer away, we Brits aren't having much sun this year and I am envious of other people's proper summer weather!
Good luck in your new home and with the unpacking. Hope you soon feel settled and comfortable. xxx
Yes, we haven't had enough Summer in the UK so I'm not over it yet, however you can be sure that as soon as September comes around I'll be lusting after the Sloane Ranger look (have a look on google) - I love your hair but I reckon black would be fantastic too, give it a go - you can get those blacks with a hint of blue, that would be perfect! xxxxx
You are hankering for change - always fun! Can't wait to see you hair in its new hue. Good luck with the move.
Thank you so much for stopping by my blog and left a note :)
I hope all is well with your move.
So nice to see your blog.
Keep in touch if you feel like it.
xoxo
Hi Bella! Will miss you while you are unpacking but totally understand that, having just moved myself! While I, too, am enjoying the current moment, I have been thinking of layering skirts again, bright tights, boots, and all the like. I guess it's just the way fashion rolls: change is beautiful! Enjoy getting settled in!

I'm so over summer, another hot (90+), humid (0ver 50%) day. Sleeves? Yes, please. Tights? Yes, please.
I am with you on the transition to fall. Summer styling is a struggle for me! But fall is my time to shine. I'm ready! I'm ready! Let a glorious and extended fall begin!
Settle down soon dear! And do share pics of the new place with us!! Pretty please??? :)
Awesome! I love your bold style. =)

I feel you. All of my best sartorial choices are made in the autumn/winter months. I love summer but sometimes I grow too stagnant with my style. I blame the Midwest heat!
Bella my dear thank you So much for adding me to your fabulous blog roll! I am deeply honored!
Fabulous photo, love it. I never need an excuse to crave shiny things. I must have been born with a sparkle magnet.

Congratulations on the new apartment and waiting for your new look. Shiny jet black hair will suit you, I'm sure. Let creativity reign!
I love the fab and artsy photo of you! I'm actually quite ready to wear autumn items, and have been browsing already for great layering pieces. Enjoy settling in the new space! xo
So no more Bella from the Basement? It was catchy but I got a better one now that you have a view: Bella Vista. Oooh lalala. Beautiful view. Happy unpacking.
That picture is really a piece og art.
Congrats on your new place! I have also been craving some Fall looks, buu August I am generally done with Summer, hee hee. I think glossy black locks would be a great Fall look :)

Hello Darling!! You will shine in raven tresses or whatever color your heart desires. You just shine, period. I'll be thinking of you as you unpack and settle in. Change is good. Take it from us old folks :-)!!
Love you. ......Jean
Hi sweet Bella! Happy to hear about your new digs! No matter what color hair you have, you got lots of fresh style! Don't let the Seattle gray influence you too much, they need more color up there.
Xxoo

Love the shine move!
Thank you again for adding me on the 40's list.
Have a nice weekend!
I'm also craving autumn pieces, as boots (oh, I'm a boots gal!) but there're still two summer months to enjoy!
Thank you for introducing us so many bloggers every month!
And wish you feel fabulous in your new home!
besos & autumnal shades
Hi Bella, I'm totally ready for Autumn clothing, but not quite ready to say that this is the end of our Summer, we've hardly had any! Congrats on the new place - also looking forward to seeing the new hair.
You asked my email address - it's charityshopqueen@gmail.com
Also Sarah Misfit did her photoshop magic - I'm not on a unicorn, but I am in the same field as one! It's on my FB page

I am in the same mood! Now that hot weather is really here, though, I can't imagine putting on any kind of scarf or hat.
Thanks for the coupon codes!
Amor,
I am so ready for Autumn and pumpkin enpanadas.
That shot of you in a scarf is lovely.

moving is such a chore, but when all is arranged and the wine is open...then that sure feels good. New perspectives...and all that. ;-)
