It's almost here...
Well, not quite but if you went shopping anywhere you'd think so. Everywhere you go the fall and winter apparel is starting to make its way onto the floor, not to mention halloween candy and christmas decorations...but that's another subject.
Being a dedicated Harper's Bazaar subscriber, the fall '10 issue came in the mail a few weeks ago. Once I opened it the reasons why I love fall so much came rushing back to me. My mom's worried expression as I "oohed and ahhed" at every turn of the page. I could just imagine strolling in gorgeous boots looking at the vibrant shades of leaves, sipping a scrumptious cup of cider fireside in a cozy sweater. So, on that note I thought I would share some of my favorite things from the issue. Let me know your thoughts/questions.
peace,Y,and fashion : )

JCrew Blazer-$325. I absolutely love jcrew and adore this blazer. Perfect for fall, you can dress it up or down and its perfect with jeans and a pair of riding boots.
Sweater underneath Tommy Hilfiger, brooch Tory Burch.
Michael Kors Vest-$1,195.
Fur can be striking in many forms (faux of course, lets remember our PETA friends ;-) And while this may not be the perfect example of that, we'll just use it for reference. It's the perfect thing to throw on on a cool day when its not quite cold enough for a coat, and you'll look perfectly chic in it.
BCBG Max Azria Dress-$348. Just because it's getting cooler out doesn't mean you have to be stuck in pants. This beautiful BCBG dress with somewhat retro feel will leave you feeling feminine and cozy on a crisp autumn day. Add a belt for a sexy cinched waist.
Cole Haan boot-$428.
Let's face it-we can't always wear heels, our feet need a break sometimes; and riding boots in the fall are becoming more and more popular. If you want a good shoe, Cole Haan won't let you down. There might be initial sticker shock for some, but keep in mind that you'll get your moneys worth as they won't be falling apart on you the second day you wear them like so many do.
G.H. Bass & Co. Loafer-$89.
Some women might be scared by a shoe like this or think that they can't pull it off. That it looks too much like a man's shoe. However, think of how much sillier you look in that ridiculous hooker looking shoe that you can't walk in and remember this shoe the next time you're tumbling all over the place.
Pair with a great pair of jeans and a blazer or vest and voila! sexy and ready to go!
Dooney & Bourke bag-$350.
This is a perfect bag for fall. I believe many women need a bag intervention, particularly those who carry those bloody vera bradley bags which seem to be taking over the world. I don't understand spending money on something that looks like your grandmother could make you.
A creamy brown, you can use the bag with nearly everything in your wardrobe, plus it straps across your body so you don't have to worry about it getting in your way or falling off of your arm.
More favorites to come soon!....xoxo
