DailyWear Autumn Monday

Happy Monday everyone! With a slight autumn chill in the air, I'm feeling this cozy boyfriend sweater with skinny black pants and suede ankle boots. Ready to get some work done! Allons-y! XO

Autumn breezes

Hurricane Irene brought loads of rain and wind to the east coast this weekend. There is much cleaning up to do. For some it's flooded basements and streets littered with tree limbs, for others it's a kitchen suffering the aftermath of several hours of intense card games with your roommates! On this Monday we have lots of sunshine, blue skies and a cooler breeze which hints at the season that is fastly approaching. Combine that with the above picture and I'm getting that autumn ache. I love this whole look, with the polka dotted scarf, navy stripes and cozy solid purple button-up. She looks ready for fall and/or hopping on that sailboat in the background! The whole look can be found at Boden.

Apple picking

My adventurous girlfriends and I out in Princeton, NJ loading up on apples, sunshine, farm animal petting and laughs.

Fall Footwear

I love summer. I mean LOVE it. Every spring I long for the ability to leave home without a coat, dunning a short skirt and tank-top. And then every August it gets so hot here that the reverse sets in. Time for cooler breezes, smart jackets, and the latest and greatest in closed toe footwear. Although I try not to fall for every passing trend, I can't help myself when it comes to this year's focus on menswear shoes. Check out my new brogues! The red alligator heels were my Grandmother's. She bought them with her own money from her first job, at a very expensive $30. Wow. Naturally I'm thrilled they fit me in size as well as style.
