moodboard :: fall uniform

Seeing as how the weather dropped into the 50's overnight (you know it's chilly when Charlie decides to burrow under the covers), I thought it was high time for a Fall moodboard. It's been forever since I've done one, and that is just silly. Do enjoy this outfit which I'd like to live in for the next 2 months:

// shirt // jeans // bag // watch // shoes //

All I want to do is mix and match patterns this fall, which will be easy because, as is evidenced above, they are everywhere (as are 70's tributes). Frame denim is killing it (and killing me). Should you splurge on one piece this fall, let it be one of their blouses or cropped flares. You know what else is everywhere? Suede. And fringe. Love this clutch, which could easily be a wallet or makeup bag. And I never thought I'd say this, but all I want to do is wear heels. These DVF pumps have been on my radar for months, but I also love the idea of pairing boots with cropped denim.

Happy Monday, indeed.

i've got my new boots on

Wow! I need to do giveaways more often! I am feeling the love, and it feels really nice. I'm so pumped to work with the winner on their closet! Don't forget, you have until tomorrow morning to enter the giveaway. Game on. How important is your shoe closet (I use the term 'closet' loosely)? Mine is pretty precious to me; like we've talked about before, shoes kind of make or break your experience when in NYC, if only because of comfort. It tickles me when fall rolls around and everyone I know is talking about boots, for I share their love of boots. I had this pair of boots in college that I wore to shreds - I would still wear them if they were in decent condition - and I think that's when my love affair with boots really deepened. Today I want to look at my fall uniform, with 6 different pairs of boots that I could wear with it to completely change it up. It's like a great Price is Right round...

 jeans // jacket // shirt // biker chick // apple picking // date night // ladies night // work // brunch

To review, my uniform for fall is: fun jeans, silky top, lots o layers (biker jacket is a must this year - the one above is faux!). I can't decide which of these boots I want most, I think it's a tie between the red, green, and blue. What about you all?

emmy best dressed and my fall outfit

Good morning friends! I feel obligated to run through a few of my favorites from last night's Emmy Awards, if only to fully appreciate the ladies who shut it down.

There were a lot of good looks last night. I didn't see  a whole lot of dresses I wasn't a fan of, but in no particular order, these were my favorites:

Uzo Aduba in Christian Siriano

How amazing does she look? Everything is perfect from the hair to the makeup to her dress...and that color on her is divine. I adore and respect her work so much, and l love seeing her killing it here.

Julia Roberts in Elie Saab

I'm not a huge fan of Julia Roberts but I love this dress so much. I love the grey navy color, and her legs...please.  The skirt is the perfect length, and neckline is just low enough, and I adore the long sleeves. Bravo, Julia!

Kiernan Shipka in Antonio Berardi

This little lady is FOURTEEN, and she already has the red carpet formula down pat. Her looks are always rounded out and a little retro. She looks amazing here, that's it.

January Jones in Prabal Gurung

I never get tired of seeing January Jones on the red carpet. She is consistently one of my favorites and this look is no exception. This dress could have gone the princess-y route, but I love that she toned the look down with her  bold makeup and casual (I can't think of a better word) hair.

Today I'm officially back to work at my day job and like I said yesterday, I'm excited to be back into a routine (and normal eating habits!). As thankful as I am for this mild summer, I am more than ready to experience fall in all of its crispy splendor. I'm ready for JEANS and layers and layers and oxfords. Tell me, what is your go to outfit for fall?
