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.

Plaid

I've slowly been reintroducing some of my Fall favorites back into rotation.  I've been looking forward to breaking these jeans out again for quite some time.  Cropped, high-waisted, and plaid - quite a combination and it just works.  Paired them with a simple tee and a few fun accessories and I am ready to go.

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.

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.

Batter Up

Nothing like a sequin t-shirt and pair of killer heels to spice up a baseball diamond.  Luckily the field was empty otherwise I would have gotten some pretty questioning looks.  Practical? Not exactly.  Fun? Definitely!

Inspired

It's hard not to get swept up in the Olympics.  This weekend I found myself unconsciously, and rather patriotically, dressed up in red, white, and blue.  

I was so inspired watching Great Britain's Mo Farrah win the 10,000 meter race on Saturday.  Such an amazing show of athleticism and sportsmanship.  It inspired me to brave the heat, strap on my running shoes and get out there and complete my own run Saturday afternoon.
