Happy fall, y’all! It has been total sweater weather around here lately, and I lovvvve it! I paired my current fave cardi with some cognac leather, belted her up, and added a little plaid and scarlet for fun. Oregon Wearing: Dress: Freeway (similar). Sweater: Banana Republic. Belt: Asos.

Hemingway Meets Scarlett
We shot this look on the very last day of summer…. What a gorgeous day to officially end such a beautiful time of year, huh? Our weather promptly changed to fall, right on cue, so now I’m enjoying being cozy on this rainy, cool morning, flanked with warm memories of an absolutely dazzling, Oregon summer.
Back to Reality + the 90s: The Denim Skirt is Backkk
What a change from NYC lights, taxi cabs, catwalks, and gorgeous dinners every night! I’ll take it, though; it’s always good to be home, all nestled in with my li’l chicks, and ready for fall. So, not only did I go back home, I seemed to have gone all the way back to the 90s. The denim

Trending: It's All the Rave (Print)
So, electric “rave-inspired” prints are currently trending, and are expected to be a major trend this fall. But before we get into all that, I, personally, want to make something really clear about this trend business. I could honestly care less if what I’m wearing is “on trend,” or not; I’m too old, too busy
Stripes to the Max(i)
Overused terms like “Now and Later” and “Transitional Style” seem to be taking over our little fashion worlds by storm like a torrential trend, and although I’m pretty weary of them, their over-use is for a valid reason. It’s almost fall, but not quite. Although mornings/evenings might be feeling cooler, it’s still hottt during the day.
Bordeaux Blues
I know. The temps barely dipped into the 70s, and I busted out some fall-wear. It’s the hat’s fault; I got that bordeaux goodness in the mail recently, and haddd to wear it! At least I didn’t pair it with fur (yet). I’m not that ridiculous (yet). Oregon Wearing: Chambray Shirt: Madewell. Jeans: ASOS. Hat:

The Backpack Trend: Going My Way?
So, in case overalls and Birkenstocks weren’t junior enough, backpacks were also added to the mix as a major trend this spring. They will also continue to be one of the new “It” bags this fall. After trying overalls (not so bad!), this trend is a piece of cake. They come in all kinds of grown-up
