bootie up

there are many other things i should be doing with my time

besides thinking about fall fashions

but i can't help it right now! 

last year, i completely struck out

in the favorite bootie category.

since anything platform is out of the question for me,

{they make me look like a cartoon character}
{sometimes...a stripper}

 it was really hard to find a perfect pair.

i swear everything that was remotely simple looking 

at first glance ended up being platform. 

this year, i decided dive in early 

and give l.l. bean signature line a try.

 THEY HAVE ARRIVED. 
look great. feel great.
the leather is soft & glorious.
aaah.
they are going to look fantastic
with dressier stuff i have to wear to work
-like tweed pencil skirts-
and still rock with denim trousers. 
{i feel better about my purchases
when i can get my mix & match awn.}

seriously- what fall gear are you crushing on?

denim trousers, cardigan, tights & necklace from anthropologie
vintage belt from JenniferLillyVintage on etsy 

tank by madewell, tweed pencil skirt from j.crew

booties by l.l.bean signature.

 

i double dog dare you.

miranda july is incredible.

she has an amazing ability to bring people together

in the most demented ways.

these are all part of "eleven heavy things"

which will be in union square park for the next month

so if you live in new york, go meet a stranger.

i will let you know.

things are simmering over here.

falling for you. deux.

cardigan and earrings from modcloth, jeans from anthropologie,  

hobo bag from hayden-harnett, shoes from urban outfitters.

modern romance.

or something.

whatever you want to call it...

i'm going to embrace this look

this fall.

with some wrist worms from sandra juto

and a cashmere wrap

i can wear this look

in the cooler months too.

greetings fall.
are you guys feeling the love yet?
if it weren't for the leaves changing
{and falling into my gutters}
i might not be as close along...

pillow fight.

further proof that if you challenge mother nature,

even in a competition of beauty,

she will destroy you completely.

breezed at dezeen.

thank you for smoking

when incense is lit in the burner

smoke curls from the chimney
