while it may officially be fall, the weather hasn’t been quite so compliant.  i will make any excuse to wear riding boots.  there was a chill (and wind) in the air this morning, so why not wear boots?  as with the end of any season, i look forward to change and reinventing my wardrobe by pulling out the last fall’s staples.  with the popularity of high-low skirts, these timeless boots make this look down-to-earth casual.  i searched high and low for the perfect riding boot, and because of it, these have sufficed for years.  i still look forward to wearing them each fall and winter.  here’s to a happy fall!

rustic elegance

this rustic sweater’s design is quite flattering. when i purchased it, i wasn’t sure how i felt about it (when worn, it’s short on one side and long on another and sort of crops up as you wear it). wearing it with a bandeau skirt is the perfect solution. this skirt is slimming and can be worn high waisted, so the sweater sweeps over it perfectly. the accessories are a little odd, but somehow i think it works! a major must this season = sweaters and skirts! it’s a perfect way to make a rustic sweater a little more elegant!

newly minted

as summer comes to a close, here’s a little reflection on some of my favorite things from my world of fasion. my favorite color from the spring/summer seasons was mint.  it’s just so fresh and flattering.  here, the feminine details of the eyelet patterned skirt it one of my faves.  it’s just so dainty!  the real standout here, however, is the miu miu clutch.  its jeweled chain strap is simply divine!  i picked up this newly minted “jewel” of a bag in NYC this summer.  pull out all of your faves for one last hurrah and enjoy the last couple weeks of summer!!
