These days Nuna is sporting a distinctively autumn atikluk. Her fall fashions are among an expansive collection exclusively designed by Freezing Temperatures and North Wind Unlimited.
Fresh off the runway, her ensemble is a celebration of rich color...
... and textural interest.
Beaded accessories were provided by Days & Days of Fog who graciously added dimension to Nuna's wardrobe with countless strings of genuine H2O.
A few impressive pieces were on loan from Precipitation Factory Direct (stay tuned for their soon-to-be-released ice collection).
It's good to see that, even at her age, Nuna still enjoys a little bling.

Kimberlee - what a dandy blog you have - thanks for visiting mine, and I'll certainly be back to visit yours. You've got some really neat features on here. marge (space coast beach buzz)
Lovely photos Kimberlee.
Beautiful photos. I wouldn't have expected such brilliant fall colors. I don't think I have ever even thought about plants in Alaska. I mostly think of ice and snow.
What does Nuna mean?
Marge...
Hey, thanks for visiting! I really like your blog as well and definitely plan to spend more time exploring there again.
Clare...
Thanks very much, Clare.
Kristina...
Thanks! And, yep. We've got plants, but they are all about knee-high in this part of Alaska. Farther south there are regular trees, etc., but up here everything grows very low to the ground, stunted by perma frost, wind, and a short growing season. The beautiful colors don't last very long, but they are magnificent while they last.
And..."nuna" means "tundra" or "the land." I like to think of Nuna as an old Eskimo woman...gentle, but tough...unchanging, yet unpredictable...walking the fine line between ancient life and the ever-encroaching pressure of now.
Wow! Fall sounds nice. I know it is officially fall, but when I got in my car to come home from school yesterday, the thermometer read 97! Supposed to cool a little this week, though.
SNB...
I definitely don't envy you for having to deal with the kind of fall weather that Florida offers. Ninety-seven! Yikes! Hope a cool breeze blows your way very soon, so you can enjoy that new screened porch even more!
