Pale Pleats

This past weekend was perfect fall weather.  Sunny but crisp and cool.  Not so cold that I had to bundle up too much, but I was still able to break out my favorite leather jacket and glove combo.

I love combining thicker sweaters with this super feminine skirt.  It makes the skirt feels a bit more casual and easy.

I couldn't resist throwing on a bit of leopard.  And I love mixing in these grey tights - the heathered grey is a little unusual, but a fun change.

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!

West Coast Revisited

Things on the east coast have been pretty disrupted this week due to Hurricane Sandy so I thought I'd share a few pictures I had left over from our latest trip out to wine country on the west coast.  It was nice to look back at these pictures full of warm sunny days!

The mornings were cool so I made sure to have a sweater on hand until the fog burned off.

But once it did, I was happy that I had worn a cool romper underneath.

I couldn't resist climbing up into this tree.  I was a the perfect shape for lounging.  It didn't look like I was the first to try either!

 Sun, friends, wine...I'm looking forward to the next time I have an excuse to get back out there!

Pajamas

Gotta love an outfit that feels like pajamas but is actually appropriate to wear outside the house.  It was perfect for a day trip out of the city to visit family.  It went easily from car to lunch to park adventure without a hitch.

Autumn

It was totally by accident that my outfit ended up perfectly matching my background!  The foliage in upstate New York was absolutely beautiful the last time I was up there.   Can't beat these views!

Casual Details

I tend to keep it pretty casual on the weekends - especially if I am spending the weekend outside of the city.  That doesn't stop me from mixing in some fun details to keep an otherwise simple outfit interesting.

It was pretty chilly all weekend so I kept my vintage army jacket on hand whenever I was outside.

I dressed up my striped thermal and cashmere sweater with a fabric flower pin.  Super simple and pretty.

I have been wearing these jeans a lot lately.  I love the zipper and moto-style details.

This polka dot hat has become a favorite.  I love how adds a bit of whimsey to any outfit.

Tasseled loafers in a fun forest green color rounded out the look.  And they matched my surroundings quite nicely!

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.
