Neon Daydream

On a recent sunny afternoon I decided to switch up my usual skinny jeans for a pair of '70s inspired bell bottoms and topped it off with a bright hat.  It was a welcome change -- and matched the graffiti wall nicely quite by chance.  

Aviators added to the overall '70s feel.

My favorite detail on this tote is the bright red and green on the straps.

Looking forward to more sunny days, fingers crossed for the weekend!

Orange Haze

While I don't love the cold, I do love a good winter jacket.  I'd had my eye on this updated peacoat for quite some time.  Pairing it with fire-engine red jeans helps to ward off the mid winter doldrums.

Bright lipstick tends to help me with that as well!

My favorite part of the jacket is the exaggerated collar - it reminds me of something Ali McGraw might have worn in "Love Story."

I kept my sweater/shirt combination muted since my jeans were pretty loud.

These boots are the other item that's been on serious repeat lately...they're pretty perfect with pretty much everything.

We've been playing around with our new camera lens - I love how it picked up the gorgeous orangey late afternoon sunlight.

Lush

As I sit here shivering in freezing cold NYC, it's hard to believe that I was in warm, lush, and green Miami a few short days ago.  I was down there for some major rest and relaxation before ringing in the New Year.  It was a rare treat being able to wear no sleeves (and no coat) at the end of December.

Make Tracks

The colder it gets, the more layers I can wear -- which is fine by me!  Leather jacket season tends to be rather short so I try to get as much action in while I can.  Unfortunately, I think it's drawing to a close quickly.  But with a trusty hat and scarf (and lots of layers underneath) I think I might get in a few more wears.

Seeing Red

I love pairing these pants with easy, classic pieces.  Since bright red pants can be a bit loud so toning them down with white and blue kept things weekend appropriate.

A down vest is the perfect solution for days that are cool but not cold enough for a winter jacket.

I mean...Chanel goes with everything, right?

I've slowly been unpacking my winter accessories - including my favorite red leather gloves.

I have to wear my highest shoes with these pants (since they're so long).  Hidden heels - an excellent trick to looking extra tall!

Such a beautiful day in a beautiful spot.

Seeing Spots

We managed to snap a few pictures before work (and before the Nor'easter hit) yesterday.  As I trudged through a couple inches of freshly fallen (and still falling!) snow on my way home from work, I was pretty happy that I'd changed into my winter boots.  

 This color reminds me of pumpkin pie - which feels very appropriate as we are now well into November.

You can't tell here, but this sweater has suede elbow patches.  I love the detail - it feels very professorial.

I'm not ready to pack these shoes away for the winter.  Adding socks (and having a pair of winter boots close at hand) allows for at least a few more wears.

While I'm pretty excited to have pulled this jacket out from the back of the closet, I have to say that I'm not sure I'm quite ready for winter!

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.

Camo

I'm a big fan of hats in general and this one is right on trend this season - baseball style and camo printed.  The hat works easily paired with a simple sheer blouse and grey jeans.

Greener Pastures

I could get used to the weather in Northern California.  Cool with a warm breeze without an ounce of humidity.  

Perfect layering weather.

My favorite detail on this sweater is that the reverse side is a reverse of the pattern on the outside.

Gives my rolled up sleeves a bit of pizzazz!

This belt has been in heavy rotation lately.  It's a nice change from the skinnier belts I'd been wearing.

It was so cool watching the sun chase the fog over the mountains.  I was glad for the layers as the fog burned off and temperatures warmed up.
