September

It's September, there is an early chill in the air and this outfit just seems like the best idea in the world to me. These (soft!) wool leggings by Isabel Marant and a fierce messenger bag by Jas M.B. will be dictating many outfits for me this season ...

Put a Bow On It

I don't quite why I'm so taken with this bag from Nicholas K; it's not a color I would usually go to and bows and tassles are not generally high on my list ... yet somehow the bag is still perfect. Supersoft leather exterior, with a canvas lining and zippered pouches on both inside flaps. The strap is removable, making for a fierce clutch. 

Here is an entire outfit compiled specifically for the Greta Clutch: Duluth tee by Isabel Marant, vintage cardigan, super-slouchy skinnies by Current/Elliott, vintage belt.

Elemental

I'm still 'picking' at Fall fashions -- a dark fierce necklace here, an incredible pair of booties there...

the Perfect Pair

Have you ever built your entire weekly wardrobe around one new pair of shoes? That's how we feel (and what we've done!) with the Shomera Wedge sandal. The wedge heel gives a sexy yet comfortable lift, the wide ankle cuff is super flattering and the price is just right. 

Featured Above: The Shomera Wedge in suede, $148. Silk scarf with coin and sequin detailing by Sete de Jaipur. Riptide Jumpsuit by FreePeople, featuring drawstring waist, cuffed legs and pockets, $86. Cotton lace bandeau by FreePeople, $28.
