It’s funny sometimes where you find inspiration. This outfit was inspired by a Facebook convo about gold accessories, and I suddenly wanted needed to pair a mint sweater with grey accordion pleats.

Side Slits + Joggers
Oooo, I’m kinda loving this deep, side-spilt, sleeveless, turtleneck business by Zara… such a great fall staple! For this look, I paired it with some joggers, but this baby can take on leathah, mini, midi skirts, jeans – you name it – in a fab way. I haven’t owned a sleeveless sweater in a long
Sweater Leather
Happy fall, y’all! It has been total sweater weather around here lately, and I lovvvve it!

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 on Stripes
Typically, when it comes to summer, I’m a minimalist. I wear nothing extraneous, nothing superfluous. One tank, floaty and sheer, one worn-in pair of shorts (rarely pants – I have a pretty strict no-pants rule in the summer), and perhaps one long chain necklace. But like anyone who gets stuck in a routine, my go-to
