Autumn is just around the corner

J.Crew has made a serious turnaround the past few years. Who doesn't like their take on preppy gone care-free chic? Well now you can even have your nails J.Crew-ed with this new line of polish from Essie.

My favorite season is fall and J.Crew sweaters are synonymous with the season. Browsing their lookbook makes me giddy as a little girl. Jenna Lyons, you're my hero.

The Sartorialist

How great is this little lady? I wish I had a closer view of her cane, looks like it's got a print on it. I love old ladies that keep styling, that's the way to do it!



I stumbled across this interview with the Sartorialist, Scott Schuman. I had no idea he was a self-taught photographer.

Paris, I love you

Rain riding boots

This has been a rather odd summer as far as the weather goes. It's rained as though it's spring and it hasn't been nearly as hot as it usually is. With all the rain we've had I've used my yellow rain boots quite a bit. I keep thinking I'll get some Hunter Wellies but then I saw these Aigle of France boots on The Cut.


They look like regular riding boots when really they're as waterproof as boots get. These might be the better alternative after all.

Pull over

Tonight I met with a friend to go over branding for her new business. She showed me an issue of Garden & Gun for some color inspiration and I decided to check out the site when I got home. This photo immediately caught my eye:


I saw it on a blog a few days ago, swooned over it but then forgot about it. But tonight I was reminded on how I want to go on a road trip in a hot car with high heels and a hot man. There's nothing better than driving through the country with the windows rolled down and the smell of a southern summer in the air.


How great are those pants?

Here are some really great tips on road triping in the South. I'll put this on my to-do list.

You wanna see my view of Paris?

Bonjour, Hotel Raphael.

Trend for fall: Oxfords (or "brogues" as the British call them)

Hot or not? They're growing on me.

Blowin' in the wind

I've always loved these mobiles by frazier & wing. I don't necessarily know what I would do with one but I think they're pretty nonetheless.
