Fall Cravings

All this rainy weather in New York is reminding us that we're at summer's end and creeping into fall.  This summer has been full of high highs and low lows but the fall's new crop of trends promises to more than make up for it. Here are some things on my wishlist.  Emphasis on the Wish.

I've passed these Stubbs & Wootton slippers in the window numerous times and I just love them. Perfect with jeans, tee-shirt and a blazer or with shorts (denim or black wool) and tights.   Stubbs & Wootton is the perpetually preppy brand and can appear a bit stuffy, but with this clever saying they add an ironic element to each outfit, perfect for the sassy dresser. Known anyone who fits that bill?

I'm a J-Crew girl through and through so it pleases me to no end that their new collection is off the wall, featuring more affordable options on the trends I'm all about.  I want sequins, feathers, velvet and tweed in this season that's all about texture and with the right pairings you can make it all work for day or night.  These sequined bloomers (currently $98 and sure to be on sale by the time it's appropriate to wear said bloomers) are on the top of my list.




I love the idea of wearing that sequined top you wear out at night to work with a classic plaid shirt and some man-tailored shorts or a great pencil skirt. Look what I finagled in there: shoes I shall have you! To continue with the menswear theme I love these booties on men so I'm pumped J-Crew made a pair for women to save me the embarrassment of having to buy men's shoes and look even more flat footed than I already am.
The colors for fall is undoubtably red and camel.  I spent, eh, 45 minutes?, give or take, crafting a  photoshop spread on the two colors but me being me and blogger being blogger, you'll never see it.  Bring in the Polyvore Set.

I love the crisp feel of the camel especially in oversized, modern shapes. Red is just vibrant and sensual. Really wow 'em and wear the two colors together. The seventies is back in a big way (thank the high heavens above) and that's large in part because of Chloe's current collection.

Nothing says fall more than boots and although equestrian/preppy chic has a strong showing, I'm going to end with my dream item, these amazing Oscar de la Renta boots.
They keep me going when the sky is grey.
