Classically Striped

Banana Republic striped fit-and-flare dress  |  Jeffrey Campbell Tardy Lo's  |  H&M hat (similar)

How gorgeous are these Autumn colors?? This is my favorite tree because it's bursting with all the rich colors of my favorite season. Even when the leaves fall, it leaves the ground scattered with a brilliant array of color. 

As much as I love black on black with a splash of another dark color topped off with a black hat, sometimes I just feel more preppy and classic. That's exactly what this dress is –  classically striped with a touch of prep and great construction. 

Give me a gloomy day & a cafe latte and I'm in love.

Victorian Gloom

Express lace top  |  |  Banana Republic fur vest  |   Free People Spanish court skirt  |  Jeffrey Campbell boots

I really believe I should have been born in the Victorian era, or possibly even Britain. Albeit a touch extravagant and luxurious, lace, fur, and a hat, the perfect outfit recipe for a gloomy weekend. Give me a hat, some boots, and a little something special and I'm good to go.

Falling Back

Banana Republic leopard coat (similar)  |  Free People smocked crop  |  Lucca Couture leather shorts (similar)  |  Pretty Polly mesh faux suspender tights  |  Dolce Vita OTK suede boots (similar here and here) 

I give a little, into the moment like I'm standing at the edge (I know)
But no one's gonna turn me around 
Just one more step, I could let go 
Oh and in the middle, I hear the voices 
And they're calling for me now (I know)
But nothing's gonna wake me now 
Cause I'm a slave to the sound

Falling, falling, falling, falling 
Falling, falling, falling, falling 
Falling, falling, falling, falling 
Falling, falling
Oh and now I'm falling 

(Haim)

I love me some Haim, and their song 'Falling' is perfect for when we turn our clocks back – marking the official start of the entire holiday season. Get ready for Starbucks red holiday cups, brisk weather, sumptuous amounts of baked goods, and holiday cheer.
