Soothing Strolls
Happy mid-week, darlings! Fall brings so many little pleasures, doesn't it? Leaves changing colors, fabulous fashion, boots, tights and amazing outerwear, a return to warm coffee and those amazing leisurely days spent taking in the sights of the city. I love nothing better than hitting the streets on a cool autumn day. Everything seems to slow down a bit and I feel like I could walk for miles strolling by fabulous shops, quaint cafes, beautiful architecture and neighborhood parks. It's a little feast for the eyes.
And since the days are shorter this time of year I even try to get out during the work day for a brief stroll and a little glimpse of daylight. It just feels so indulgent and good for the soul.
Hope you all get the chance to escape for a little soul soother today. Have a wonderful one! xoxo

Ummm... Woke up today to smell winters... This is such a lovely time of the year, with festivals around the corner. Love the pictures.
Great images, but I am afraid my feet would kill me if I went for a stroll in those black heels! ;)
All people, who live in the countries, where the autumn is filled with colors, must be happy!
That's one thing I enjoy in Estonia - it's exactly like your described: leaves changing colors, and warm coffee tastes every day better.
I also feel like everything is so much more relaxed and calm during autumn:)
Those images are stunning,sweetie
Have a lovely day
Ps: I am hosting a ban.do headband GIVEAWAY later today! Please, join in!

Dawn, you always find the most beautiful images. I adore this post! My favorite things... outer wear, boots, tights, coffee and strolling the city!! xo
I would be out and about all day if I were dressed like that.....Gorgeous autumn images, xv.
It's a dreary, rainy day here but hopefully it'll pass soon!
What a wonderful reminder that I should do JUST THAT - go out for a little walk in the moist (mmhh, very moist), cool air. Hope you are enjoying your autumn stroll today, too. xoxo
Love fall for all the things you mentioned...although DC has been quite warm the past few days :( I am in need of chilly weather!
Happy Mid-Week!
I just stumbled across your blog for the first time and thought I would say hello! I looked through a few of your posts and love your style.
I am living in Europe temporarily and today is a beautiful fall crisp one! Your post just inspired me to go out and take a stroll :)
I'm a blogger as well, about the world of art, but my history is in interior design and fashion. I love to hear what people are saying! Hope we get to see more of each other in the future.

getting out for a walk is so perfect - it's so sunny and bright here but chilly - feels like such a fun fall day :)
I hate that it gets darker so early now, I think getting out to enjoy the sunshine is a great idea.

that first photo is so glam, i love it!
Love fall walks. Adore the picture with the black booties. Have a great day!
Sigh, this is just what I needed! I love this time of year and love the idea of taking midday walks to get some autumn sun. Gorgeous pictures dear, as always :)
oh how I definitely need a soul soothing stroll today! I know just where I would do it too...In the West Village, where the street signs turn from green to brown, and the streets get all zig zaggy and crazy. Perhaps I would sit in the park across the street from the MJ accessories store with a cupcake from Magnolia and a soy latte with a sprinkle of cinnamon.. thanks for inspiring such a lovely little daydream!! :)
Beautiful images - the surroundings look very familiar ;-) I've definitely been doing a lot more city walking. The Fall weather here is so perfect - clear crisp air and perfect blue skies. Hope you've been having a fabulous week so far!
Reading your posts is always so relaxing and positive. I adore that image of the black pumps!
warm coffee would be such a great addition to this morning :)
Thank you for reminding me of what's so great about fall! Your photos are beautiful and I do enjoy the fashion and beauty of everything in these few months... I still miss summer a bit though!
I love this time of year too. And it's always so relaxing to get out and take a walk in the middle of a work day. I've been trying to do that more often and it really makes the entire day better. Hope you have a great one!

Yup - fall is the best. My hubby and I took a walk on Sunday and it was perfect. Colorful leaves, brisk breeze, and a hot chocolate in hand. Hope this weather sticks around a while. Not sure I'm quite ready for winter yet...
Your visions of Fall are beautiful. those booties-sigh!
