Sweet. Steven Andersin Booties $150
Sweeter. Naturalizer Onset Boots $119
Sweetest. Rachel Comey Mars Booties $395
Finding the perfect black ankle boot has proven harder than expected. The ideal heel height and the taper of the boot are both factors in deciding on a pair. Those Rachel Comey Mars booties have been on my list for quite sometime, but the price is a little hard for me to digest. One day I'll bite the bullet, but for now I really like the simplicity and the price of those "sweeter" boots. Do you have a favorite?

Happy Labor Day! So far New York has been ridiculously fun, we've eaten at many incredible restaurants, like Red Rooster, Roberta's, Prune & Lupa,  had cocktails on the roof of the Soho House & the Wythe, saw this seriously unique show, saw these two bands play {I, II} and picnicked in central park. It doen't stop there, because today we're moving to a hotel for the next two nights in Nolita. We've been staying up in Harlem, and while I love it here, it's far away from pretty much everything we want to do. 
How do you plan on spending your holiday? I'm hoping to have a pretty low-key day. I need to save up a little energy for my birthday tomorrow, right?

Happy Monday! How was your weekend? Mine was pretty great. I spent most of it with my friends in town from the east coast. I took a few days off from the computer to really just relax and socialize with my friends. It was very refreshing. Of course now I have to catch up a little on work stuff, but it was completely worth it.

Right now I am drawn to anything in the tone of falling autumn leaves. I just can't get enough rust, burnt orange and cognac. I am an earth sign after all. These colors feel so rich and comforting. They also look so chic paired with brights like cranberry or teal. What colors will you be rocking this fall?

Just as I suspected LA's temperate summer was too good to be true. I heard it was insanely hot this past weekend and I couldn't be happier we decided to get away when we did. Even though September tends to be one of our hottest months, I can't help but dream of cozier fall days full of leather accents, wool sweaters and muted earth tones.

LOOKING FORWARD TO FALL

Here are just a few of the things I'm looking forward to most this fall...
Topshop Hat $50
Madewell Willow Shirt $110
Rebecca Taylor Shadow Daisy Dress $550 
Petite Briefcase Bag $118
Steven Pembrook Boot $129


Fall is by far my favorite time of year, I love everything about it- the colors, the layers, the falling leaves. Sometimes it can be hard to get into the fall fashion mindset when it's August and blistering hot outside, but this year has been different. I already pre-ordered those perfect Steven ankle boots above and found a long sleeved dress I have a feeling I'll be living in. Either my love for summer is dwindling, or I'm convinced we actually have seasons in LA. Either way, fall wont ya please come soon. 

Happy Weekend! xx

WANTED. LOAFERS




I am having a bit of a loafer moment. I can't tell you how happy I am they are having a resurgence despite their somewhat nerdy reputation. I am always thrilled to find fashionable and different ways to wear flats. I also had a pair of penny loafers when I was 10 that I was obsessed with so maybe I'm just a tad sentimental.

FALL FOOTWEAR


I think fall is the most fun shoe season. Ankle boots, over the knee boots, clogs and Victorian style lace ups are all on trend for this fall. Here is some fall footwear that caught my eye, and nothing is over $200!..
