Addicted to Love

Almost the weekend. I'm resting the ankle and make progress. Today, was a gorgeous close day here in DC. Perfect weather, breathtaking sunset, and a work HH at the waterfront. Couldn't be better, the perfect mix of end of summer and beginning of fall (see, I'm trying to embrace fall!).

A nice mix of summer and fall by Madewell.

Love it all from the belt to the bag.

Perfect early fall mix of black and brown.

 
I aim to look like this during fall. Even if it's with a crutch. :)
 


Leather and wool wrap pencil skirt, are you joking? It's already sold out. J. Crew, you are good.

Have a good Friday!

Fantasia

With my foot still out of commission I've been watching loads of movies and TV shows. I watched an entire behind the scenes look at the Disney Imagineers and am TOTALLY in fantasy mode for the fall. Some people have fantasy football, I'm choosing fantasy fashion this fall.

First up this adorable tent from the glam camping company. Don't you kinda want to live in it?




Floating in paradise.

The cutest halloween outfits ever. I want to be a unicorn this year.

Some electric joy.
 
What a seashell staircase!
 
I want an invite to this beach party.

A lighthouse from heaven.



If you remember nothing else, remember this.

Sweet Dreams

I went to a wonderful wedding for a good friend this weekend. It was in a backyard and had so much character. I loved it. Unfortunately my ankle is still swollen and angry. Gotta get to the doctor.

Below is a picture of floating candles in Thailand. Reminded me a bit of the wedding but also just a gorgeous picture to start the week.

Buckle Up

I'm takeing a minor break from fabulous shoes and inspirationals quotes to get me through my ankle injury. Today I'm loving this increble Micheal Kors buckle ring. It comes in three metals; rose gold,  silver, and gold. At $45 a pop, I think they could pass for grown up friendship rings. Don't you agree?

And in my ever lasting attempt to gracefully let go of summer, I think these beautiful caramel pears could be just what the doctor ordered.

And now, my quotes and shoes phase continues... you're going to LOVE these. :)



These shoes remind me of the book, Where the Wild Things Are.

I love everything about this look. The Alexander Wang cape shoes are to die for and that green dress!

And rounding it out with a Steve Jobs quotation. Something we all can work toward.

Quotables

Feeling slightly better (finally) at the end of the day. Can put a little bit of weight on my foot which is good news. I'm sticking with quotes and shoes again for today. Makes me happy. Hope you're having a good start to the week!


 This one is one of my favorite quotes ever. So true.

Bummer

Rough weekend. I sprained my poor little ankle. Trying to keep my head up. Since I can't walk, at least I got to watch the whole season of Game of Thrones. So good. Posting some words of inspiration today.

And some inspiration for when I can walk again.

There is NO bad weather, only BAD clothing

Someone told me this as I got on my flight to Scotland this summer. Needless to say I was horribly clothed for Scotland in June. Don't be fooled, it's still cold then.

With this thought in mind I ventured out to Zara last week in the rain and scored two very weather appropriate fall pieces. I love them so much I can't wait to wear them. Well..... maybe a few more weeks :)

First up, adding some color to fall. I personally am head over heels for orange this season (orange you glad I didn't use a silly joke, haha, too much?) I picked mine up from Zara (have you heard they have online shopping now), but I also love these.

Next up, I was trying on some blazers, because I love nothing more then a good blazer. On a whim I grabbed a snake print blazer with a black collar. As soon as I put it on I knew. It had to be mine. The picture online doesn't look like much, but it's incredible. The fit, the feel, the fabric! I almost fainted in the dressing room. So now I'm going to embrace me some snake prints! Here's what I'm liking.



2) An Ann Taylor Scarf

3) Top Shop Heels


4) Nordstrom Crossbody


Hope you are having a good week!

So Long Sweet Summer

It's cold and rainy here in DC. I'm trying to get excited for fall, but before I let go of summer a few last minute favorites.


Love, love, love this pink blazer from Zara.


Lovely Marc Jacobs scalloped flats. I could pull these off for fall, right?


The amazing SJP, she can pull off anything.

But as much as I love summer, I stopped dead in my tracks when I saw this DVF coat. I'm on the search for a new coat now. There is hope for me yet!
