Waiting for the Fall

  This LA summer hasn't been that bad.  I mean, it's been really, ridiculously hot, but that is good for beach days (I need one of those), and maybe evening picnics (in the shade), and the summer is great for sipping on cold beverages while hanging out on your porch (if you have a porch), or sitting on your front steps, or the grass, or in your air conditioned vehicle....

  I love the summer and need to take more advantage of it while I house sit this week for my friend's Alex and Britt.  I'll be documenting my stay and cannot wait to see what I come up with.  Highland Park and Montecito Heights are rich with history, and I love to explore that area.  I'll be snapping photos during that exploration and taking in the scenery.  More on that very soon!

  While we bask in the sunlight, here is something to look forward to in the Fall/Winter.  I am dying over these J.Crew for Fall ensembles.  So chic and classic with a colorful twist.

I absolutely love this bright coral dress and that drop waist.  This one is on my wish list!  All you need is some pink lipstick and heels! So elegant. 

I love how outfits are put together for this company.  They come up with great combinations that I would never even think of.  That skirt and sweater together is just gorgeous, with those red shoes and everything.....SO RAD!  A stand out for the next New Years Eve bash!
Cable knit and sequence? Sign me up! 

This whole outfit is a winner.  Something Bianca Jagger would have worn at Studio 54.  She puts my 30th birthday party to shame, btw.

  1. The coral sweater & pencil skirt ensemble caught my eye in the first pic. Glad you posted a close up! I really love the textures, colors & mix-match of these outfits but they almost always look horrid on someone like me, voluptuous & tall. Oh wells, I will season again in my peacoat & leggings. Maybe in my next life I'll be petite and slinder. Keep bloggin' my friend <3

  2. Thanks for your comment, Tish!

    It's not about being petite and slender...I think that is a bunch of POOP! You can pull these clothes off, no problem. It is all about fit, and if something seems ill fitted, I recommend finding a good tailor. It's totally worth it. I am short and curvy and pants never fit me right, so I have to buy one or two sizes up and then I get them hemmed and taken in. Then they fit perfect! I love a classic peacoat with a dress. Layering is great for winter. Girl, we will go shopping together and I will prove you wrong. ;-)
