falling for fashion

hi everyone! how has fall been so far? i really can't believe it's already here. even though it is my favorite fashion time of year, yeah!

so yes, i have been compiling my fall 2011 must haves for the season and this is what i have come up with so far. some of these lovelies have already made it home with me. oh i can't wait to snuggle up in my new fall wardrobe.


so, number one on the agenda is a new haircut. as you all know, after years of longish hair, i cut it off this spring into a cute new bob. i am still loving my short hair but i do miss being able to put it up so i have been growing it out a little. i found this picture of kirsten and i love, love, love this haircut. of course mine will be darker but this is such a classic retro bob. i can't wait to get over to see my girl soon to start working on this cut.


and here is my latest signature lip color, chili by mac. i'm loving it. mac really does the best lipstick, don't they?


and this was the purchase of the season. i always keep a classic camel coat in my closet and when this came through our latest collection, you know i had to have it. this is pendleton's hip/young collection, the portland collection. i absolutely can't wait for it to get cool enough to wear this.


i decided that i really wanted a buffalo check shirt this year but i wanted it to have elbow patches. then i remembered this great junya watanabe shirt from two years ago and i found a pendleton version of it. i'm just going to wear it as a shirt jacket with jeans or leggings this winter.


last week i found the softest leopard print cardigan like this one at h&m. i think it will be the perfect accessory to mix in with my collection. it goes with everything.


i have been looking and looking for a classic french cuff shirt like this one and i am determined to find it this season. it is just such a staple. i must have one!


and i die for these flared camel trousers. must have! where oh where can i find these. i cannot go on without something like this in my fall collection.


my rain boots have worn out and they have been retired to the back door for taking the dogs outside. i literally had a puddle in them last week so i finally broke down and bought these pillar box red hunter wellies. of course now i'm dying to wear them and it's been nothing but sun here!


and i know that ballet flats are not the best fall footwear but i found these gabriella rocha flats on zappos and i had to have them. the bows are just the sweetest. besides, my last pair of black ballet flats wore out in new york so they needed replaced anyway.


black converse are always a staple in my closet. nothing beats these for weekend wear.


and i'm loving my new clear dome umbrella. this is going to be so cute this winter with my new boots.


and of course i can't forget my most prized fashion accessory, my girl lu. nothing goes better with my fall wardrobe better than this little piece of love.

still shopping after all this time


hi everyone. i'm soooo sorry it's taken me so long to get back to my favorite little blog.

the holidays were crazy and january was filled with a month full of work travel. i am now happily back at home with my family and critters!

i was most recently in new york for work where i had to make a pilgrimmage to the no. 6 store and bring these beauties home with me (only mine are cuter because the heels are stained dark). and what a cute little shop it was. it's always so much fun to see the flagship stores of the brands that i love.

as i've promised many times before, i hope to keep the posts coming more frequently now that life is back to normal. and for more on my new york trip, go to my portland blog to see me in the ny times!

hey repetto

i think living next to a ballet studio is rubbing off on me. no i'm not practicing my plie, i'm shopping for these fabulous ballet flats from repetto!


perhaps if i own a pair, i'll look like brigitte bardot.


oh, i'll take a pair in every color.


or i would be happy with this pair...


this pair...


and especially this pair with the little heel.

mooning

i'm mooning over these cute store windows i came across in atlanta at this little store called moon cake. it's located in a very charming shopping district called virginia highlands.

i often travel to atlanta for work and when i tell people this, they always make a face like "eew". i'm not sure why, maybe because the downtown area leaves a lot to be desired but once you get out of downtown, atlanta is beautiful. i love all of the old houses and lots of brick. i had hoped to take more pictures but it was really cold last week and very grey. i'll be back in july so hopefully i can get some good pics. but if you're heading to atlanta, just 10 minutes out of downtown are some great little neighborhoods so check them out.


i love the winter white on white.


moon cake is at 1019 virginia ave ne 404.892.8043

i'm reading...


the glass castle by jeannette walls

we began reading this book outloud in the car while we were on our recent roadtrip in the southwest. eerily, much of this story mirrored the places we were driving through or heading to as well as many of my own life experiences growing up in the southwest with somewhat non-traditional, eccentric parents. and while the heroine's experiences were a little more outlandish than my own, it made me laugh and appreciate all of the things i learned in life...it also made me realize that my life wasn't so bad after all!

i highly recommend this book for it's humor and insight. it is a very quick read and one that you will find hard to put down.

chanel looks good to me

have you had a chance to see chanel's spring line? i'm loving the whole "babes in the woods" theme.


i really do like lily allen's music, i'm just not sure about her as the face of chanel right now. what do you think?


i love this floral crochet ensemble and the red mary janes with the big flowers are to die for.


and the houndstooth dress with the big chunky clogs would look great at work. i'm so glad clogs are making a comeback...again.


and while i could never pull this look off, i absolutely adore these reds clogs with the daisy.


and this is one of my favorite looks. it's so victorian chic and i've seen it this year done by ruffian at a much more affordable pricepoint. and those black suede clogs are amazing.


and here, i'm all about these cris-cross tights.

what do you think of the collection? have you come across anything for spring that you are looking forward to?
