last chance

ok so i've officially disappeared but i swear i have a slew of great reasons i cannot seem to remember all at once. we moved about 3 weeks ago, { pics of the new place coming up } and i've been so distracted by un-packing, decorating and like....actually owning something besides clothes and shoes. { crazy i know }. but i swear im not gone forever. as proof, here are some pics i took this weekend on a relatively warm day. { hope ya'll like my awkward smile }

fall is actually my favorite seasons because in some ways it's like a less gross, prettier version of intense summer heat. everything looks clean, bright and crisp, and you get to expand the wardrobe past dresses, skirts and shorts. i got these suede boots from DV by dolce vita. i would describe them as understated awesomeness. they are eye-catching without being over the top and very comfy to walk in {which for a flats loving girl gives them a million bonus points}
what are your favorite looks for fall? and it anyone else sad to see the blinding colors of fall fade away? { i mean honestly...how awesome is that tree? }

fish scales

fully embracing fall these days, and all the craziness that comes with moving into a new home, getting ready for my sister's wedding, and starting to plan my own...and, not to mention, PACKING! i've sadly accepted that my only earthly possessions are clothes and books, but i will say i think that's much better than any alternative i can imagine at present. wearing my usual uniform of black and white with some sparkle in between. utterly in love with my thread thin motorcycle jacket, which is so perfect in so many ways. 

how are you guys dealing with the weather change?

marchesa...je meurs

i've always loved marchesa { even in the last few years when i would give a slight eyebrow raise to the things they sent down the runway. } this year's collection blew me away. the soft colors, the intricate mixture of all things glitter, fringe and tulle. it all looked very very expensive, hard to construct but easy to watch glide down the runway. to me this is what fashion is about: when you dont look at the models { bc honestly with this lot, you might wake up having some nightmares }, when the pieces have integrity, meaning and stand out; reiterating the purpose and agenda of the brand while managing to be fresh and new in an ever-changing landscape.
bravo marchesa.
