Wednesday Wishes - A Fabulous Fall Day


Happy Wednesday, lovelies! Hope you're all enjoying the short week. For some reason already it feels like a long one even though this is only my second day of work. Hmmm, funny how the end of summer can do that to a person...

I'm kind of having the in between seasons quandary. Waving goodbye to summer but not quite ready to say hello to fall since it's still quite warm here. How is one to dress during this time? And to be honest I'm kind of sick of all of my summer clothes at this point.

I think I'm just ready to fast forward to some gorgeous crisp & slightly brisk fall days where I can throw on something fabulous and very FALL-like and head on out for a little stroll. Bring it on! {I'm sure I'll regret this request in a few weeks :)}

So how bout you all. What are you wishing for today? And any tips for dressing during the transition of the seasons?

Back To Reality {Sort Of}


Just getting back to the grind today after a wonderful 4 day weekend. I made the most of the last summer weekend. Went to a wedding, dined outdoors, strolled around the wonderful city and celebrated our one year anniversary yesterday.

I'm sad to say goodbye to the summer but I'm going to stay in dreamland a little more and look forward to all of the wonderful things fall has in store. Possibly a little trip somewhere fabulous? Like I said I'm staying in dreamland :)

Hope you all had a wonderful weekend! xoxo

Summer Souvenirs


Hope you're all enjoying the last unofficial days of summer this weekend. Looking forward to taking it all in and putting many more treasures in my memory box. We have a wedding to attend today and then the rest of the weekend is ours to do with whatever we choose. Our one year anniversary on Monday so the weekend is sure to be filled with lots of celebrating.

Enjoy, darlings! xoxo

Washout



Happy Friday, lovelies! Well the unofficial end of summer weekend is upon us and what better way to kick it off than with a hurricane, right? :) Earl {should be a tropical storm by the time it reaches us today...} will make the first day of the long weekend a complete washout. And I have to admit, I'm kind of a bit excited. What's wrong with me, right??? Well I see it as a day that I can spend indoors, catching up on sleep and whatever else my heart desires. I have three more days of fun ahead of me after today so I have absolutely no complaints whatsoever!

Hope you all have a fabulous day and be safe if you're being effected by the hurricane/tropical storm in any way. xoxo

Wild War Zone


As much as we tried it's time to realize there's no turning back now. We're officially in September and that means it's time to start getting serious about Fall fashion. Two of my most coveted trends this fall is Military & Animal Print. And when mixed together I'm in absolute heaven!

What are some of your favorite trends this fall?

To Market, To Market


Happy Thursday, darlings! Hope you're all having a fabulous week. I'm so excited that today is my last day of work before the long weekend. 4 days off are headed my way!

Thinking off all of the wonderful things I will fill my extended weekend with but one of those things will definitely be heading to the greenmarket, my usual late summer into fall weekend routine. It's one of my favorite times of the week and I look forward to spontaneously menu planning for the week ahead while I'm there. I just love being inspired by all the fresh delectable goodies laid out before my eyes.

And since I'm a dreamer I always have to take things one step further. How lovely would it be to market in France? I dream of one day hitting up the gorgeous markets in beautiful Paris. Next time I go I think I'm going to rent an apartment rather than stay in a hotel so I can do my usual weekend routine there. Sounds like a plan to me :)

Hope you all have a wonderful day! xoxo

Wednesday Wishes - Filippa K Fall 2010


Happy September, darlings! Hope that you're all having a wonderful week. It's quite the lovely one here in NY. The city is relatively empty {for the city, that is...} since so many people took vacation with the upcoming holiday weekend around the corner and we're experiencing some gorgeous summery weather. Makes me hopeful that we'll enjoy an extended summer season way into October! Wishful thinking, I know :)

But if that doesn't happen at least there's fall fashion to look forward to. On a recent shopping trip I discovered the lovely label Filippa K and instantly fell head over heels in love. Now this is a brand for me! I love every single thing about it. Classic cuts in gorgeous fabrics with a little bit of an edge. Seriously if this was the only brand in my wardrobe I would be a very happy girl. I wish I could own every single piece of the Fall 2010 collection!

What are you all wishing for this Wednesday?
