The nice thing about rings is you can get so much use out of them. It's not like a shirt where you can wear it one day and then not the next. Rings are very versatile, and can be worn with both casual and formal attire.  Rings have always been a big part of my style.  When I was young I used to wear a ring on every finger.  I have toned it down since then but here are some of my favorite rings.

Cooking Class

My husband and I went to a cooking class at a local Whole Foods store. You help prepare the dishes while the chef demonstrates various knife skills and shares his own recipes.  We had a wonderful chili, mushroom risotto and an orange salad. The class instructors are very accommodating to anyone with food allergies.

Here is the link to Whole Foods to find a class near you.

Farmers Market










Last weekend I went to our local farmers market with some friends. I bought a gorgeous bouquet of flowers and also some tomatoes and basil leaves. I made a really yummy batch of Bruschetta with my farmers market purchases. The place was an absolute zoo and the group I was with had two strollers which made navigating through the crowd a bit challenging. I recommend going early if you find a farmers market in your area so that you can beat the rush. Attached is the link to find your local Farmers Market and the recipe I used for my Bruschetta.

Workout...


In Stride Jacket
Studio Pant
Run Swiftly
Turbo Run Short
Lululemon is by far my favorite workout brand.  Their fabrics are so great! Some of them are a little high maintenance when it comes to washing but worth the extra care in the end.   Lulu has made these clothes cute for going to the gym or daily wear.

Coldplay

Coldplay is one of my favorite bands.   I waited two years for their show to finally come back around to my area.  Back when tickets went on sale, I got up early on a Saturday morning to pull tickets. I was all set up with three computers ready to rock. I bought a set of amazing floor seats, only to find out that the "C" indicated Club Level, not Floor Center. Luckily enough, my brother-in-law had an extra set of floor seats which I was able to buy off of him. In the end I wish I'd ended up sitting in the Club Level instead of in the floor seats behind the tools who raised their hands every 30 seconds, blocking my view.

Other than that, the concert was great. They set up a stage in the back of the arena and performed a few songs.  Also, they had everyone wear different color wrist bands which lit up like a Christmas tree along with the music. The last concert of theirs that I went to, their drummer, Will Champion, actually sang one of the songs.  He had an amazing voice and it was cool to get to see their other talents. I was disappointed that they didn't do that again. I would definitely recommend seeing Coldplay next time they are in your area.

Booties


Toms
Donald J Pliner
Frye
Zappos



I want a pair of  new boots so badly but can't find the perfect pair.  These are the top picks but still aren't quite what I'm looking for.  Have you had any luck finding boots for the fall?
