Cozy

I've been waiting for crisp autumn temperatures to break out my favorite cozy sweater and boot combination.  I know a couple months from now I'll be wishfully hoping for summer weather again, but for now I'm enjoying the change.

I've been partaking in the wine/burgundy lipstick trend lately.  It's a fun change.  In some ways it's little more intense than red, but it's not quite as bright.

I've always liked the cut of these boots.  The wide opening is unexpected and hits at the ankle in a nice and flattering way.

I love an easy outfit for a low-key afternoon hanging out in Brooklyn.

Falling Forward

San Francisco's cool temperatures were certainly a departure from NYC's hot and steamy weather.  I actually had to add a layer and change from sandals to boots!  It was a nice reminder that Fall isn't too far off.

Taking full advantage of a short trip I went straight from the plane to sight-seeing.  This meant comfortable layers.

I look forward to pairing this blazer with pretty much everything.  I love how the different colors work through the geometric pattern.  

It's colorful, but not too loud.

I kept everything else pretty simple to highlight the jacket.

I'm looking forward to stocking up on more basics - like this blazer - in unexpected colors and patterns for Fall.

Rusted

Just when I was starting to get the hang of Spring it turned cold, grey, and rainy again.  I went for a longer length the skirt to keep my legs warm, but the hemline still allowed for a bit of ankle to peek out.

Instead of breaking out cold weather jackets, I layered a couple of lighter weight ones together and threw on a scarf.

Hot pink nails provided a bit of neon against all the neutral just like the rust on the metal sheets in the background.

I love the slightly metallic color and details in this jacket.  It worked so well agains the army green vest.

This dress was a DIY project from a couple weekends ago.  I can't wait to show off the top when the weather gets nice again.

Pallet

We found this pile of old pallets at the back of a huge parking lot near our apartment.  The warm natural wood with splashes of blue and red provided a nice back drop to my super neutral outfit.

I found these boots at the Barney's Warehouse Sale and have to say, I'm pretty excited.  They're super stiff, thick leather, so they'll definitely take some work to break in.  But I think they'll only get better with wear.

The rest of the outfit was pretty simple with tone on tone greys and tans.

I love how you can see just a hint of patterned silk under my grey blazer.

I'm in the spring mind-set already so I choose a lighter weight scarf.

Bright red lipstick topped things off - providing a much needed little splash of color.
