Turqouise Sweater Dress Dream

I may not have found the perfect cobalt ensemble as dictated by high fashion but if you're looking for a great fall color consider turquoise. You can call the dress green and wear it again for the holidays.

Pair it with your favorite boots and accessories and then switch to flats like the French Sole FS/NY Women's Foxy and pair it with the perfect necklace. If you've worked purple into your outfit via shoes or tights I suggest this one of a kind Purple Amethyst And Agate Gemstone Chip Necklace.

These shoes are perfect for when you take off your boots and the upcoming 2013 summer.

Purple Amethyst And Agate Gemstone Chip Necklace | Xanadu Lady | $16.95
I *love* the knitted part of this necklace, makes it a perfect accessory for a sweater dress.

D.I.Y. Autumn Spa Recipes

If you want to look beautiful and save the cost of the spa try these wonderful D.I.Y. recipes. Create a relaxing night at home or have the girls over and tell them to bring good wine.

Try the Miracle Mask for oily skin from College Fashion combines nutmeg, honey, and cinnamon to create a delightful holiday facial that exfoliates and soothes. If your skin is normal, try the Grape & Cranberry Facial inspired by a treatment at Caudalie Vinotherapie Spa, NYC.

Use Lemon-Brown Sugar Body Scrub recipe from Organic Authority to leave your skin better than ever with no rough patches, smooth and super soft thanks to the grape-seed oil in the recipe.

Finish with Luscious Pumpkin Body Butter, a recipe from Care2. You can take care of the leftover pumpkin while leaving yourself soft and smooth. Pumpkins contains beta-carotene-rich antioxidants nourish skin and the cinnamon will gently warm you.
