Gone Fishin’

09 . 24 . 15

Now that autumn is here, I can’t wait to wear my favorite fisherman knit sweaters. I think most people wear them with jeans but I love the idea of pairing one with an ivory skirt or wide leg trousers as seen in the WSJ. magazine above (Coach, Carolina Herrera, and Max Mara). The October 2015 […]

Fall officially starts on Wednesday and there is already a little chill in the air. While I love spring, autumn is New York’s best season. I can’t wait for the leaves to turn and the light to lower.  Here’s a little inspiration to get you excited too. All photos from tumblr and Pinterest.

Tie One On

09 . 08 . 15

Even though it’s supposed to be 93 degrees in New York today, I’m thinking about fall fashions. I look forward to cooler temperatures when I can wear jeans again. My favorite item to dress them up a little is a bow tie blouse. Luckily for me, there are quite a few options to choose from […]

End of Summer Blues

09 . 06 . 15

I personally love fall. I can’t wait for it to arrive each year because autumn is New York’s best season. Fashion week starts right after the Labor Day holiday which starts things off with a bang. There is a palpable energy in the air. But I understand that not everyone feels the same way, especially young students […]

I’m having a great time in the Napa Valley. The weather has been perfect and the wine plentiful. What more could you ask for?!  Bon week-end!   View from Dutch Henry Winery by me.

November

“October extinguished itself in a rush of howling winds and driving rain and November arrived, cold as frozen iron, with hard frosts every morning and icy drafts that bit at exposed hands and faces.” – J.K. Rowling, Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix   Photo by me.

All Hallows Eve

10 . 30 . 14

New York is all dressed up for autumn and Halloween right now. The Upper East Side gets very into decorating for Halloween and some of the decorations are seriously scary. I prefer the chic and subtle approach and thought I would share some of my favorites with you as well as some turning leaves. Happy […]

Indian Summer is a lovely occurrence if it doesn’t involve 80% humidity.  We’re sweating here in New York which makes it difficult to wear fall clothes.  When the weather breaks, I’ll be looking for an olive green parka like these in the latest issue of Vogue magazine.  They are perfect for the city or country living […]

Autumn in New York

10 . 12 . 14

“Autumn is a second spring when every leaf is a flower.” – Albert Camus Photo by me via Instagram.

I know a lot of you love my outfit posts so I’m going to try to start posting more.  The only problem is that I subscribe to the “quality not quantity” rule of thumb when it comes to shopping for clothes for I end up wearing the same things a lot. My wardrobe is made […]

Chic Cable Knit

10 . 01 . 14

The New York Times Fashion section just posted this photo on their Instagram.  They caught the actress Louise Grinberg leaving the Miu Miu fashion show in Paris. I love everything about this look from her hair to the ladylike blouse and grey cable knit sweater and pants paired with the burgundy bag.  It’s the perfect […]

October

“I’m so glad I live in a world where there are Octobers. It would be terrible if we just skipped from September to November, wouldn’t it?” – Lucy Maud Montgomery, Anne of Green Gables    Photo by me.

My friend Heidi Wynne came over recently to show me her new cashmere collection for fall. Now that the weather seems to finally be turning cooler, I thought I would share her very chic new offerings with you.  As you know, I couldn’t live without her wraps.  I wore them almost everyday in Paris and […]

My favorite seasonal quote is the one from The Great Gatsby below, “life starts all over again when it gets crisp in the fall.” While autumn doesn’t officially start until next week, it has gotten crisp in New York. Not only is everyone happy to no longer be sweating but they are also happy to […]

Lower Light

07 . 22 . 14

Paris is known as the City of Light but the light everywhere starts to change once we move closer to autumn.  It becomes lower and warmer which is part of the reason I want to wear more neutrals and warmer colors. They just go together. I was cleaning out a Paris Vogue from May and […]

In case you need a little last minute autumn and entertaining inspiration, this is probably the last of it until we move onto Christmas.  I will be in London for Thanksgiving which seems rather ironic.  I’m excited to get away but I will miss the pumpkin pie.  Hope one of you will save me a […]

Styled to Perfection

11 . 07 . 13

One of my readers asked me where to find the ivory cableknit sweater in my November post and I realized that I forgot to credit Emeron Fry. While I on their site looking for the link to send her, I noticed some lovely new images for fall/winter 2013. As you know, I love fashion shoots […]
