Is it really September already? That means the arts organizations will be starting their seasons and there are some great things ahead!

A fitting start to the centennial season! The famed pianist will perform Shuman and Beethoven in Dell Hall at the Long Center.

More than 100 choral singers, 60 musicians, and Ballet Austin dancers bring the drama of this iconic piece to life.
Sept 24-26 at the Long Center
For a preview and to buy tickets go here.

Margaret Patterson told me about Carolyn Graves who makes pendants from jewels and other small keepsakes that tell something about the women who owns them. Check her Web site to see some of these unusual pieces. You can buy one of these or contact her through the Web site to have your own story told! $70-$125.

As usual almost all of the classes at Juniper Hills Farm are sold out, but there is one that sounds really yummy and still has places (at least when I wrote this Sunday!).

Want to add something to your wardrobe that says fall? I'm not a trend person but you can add something that looks current without reworking your wardrobe.

What are they showing?

• Military looks- You don't need to wear cargo pants, but an olive or khaki jacket or scarf would look updated.
• Pendants- A long chain with a single pendant.
• Animal prints/skins (faux, please)- Just one item will do- a belt or handbag (skins are especially popular here)
• Kitten heels- I never wore the high heels anyway, but I'll be able to look people in the eye now!
• Camel & gray
• Smaller handbags- maybe a clutch with lock & key or smaller shoulder bag.
• Cuff- But remember that draws the eye down to an area I try to avoid!

As always, great style is what looks good on you!
