Style: August ’09

I know August is still warm, but I suppose I’m looking ahead to fall already.

Style: August '09

I love a classic striped shirt paired with a bright skirt and a simple fabric bag. The suede Crosby Sandals are a good summer to fall shoe, and I just ordered a pair for myself so hopefully they’re as cute in person as they are online. And then there’s that Sedum Cuff. Oh, how I want it! It’s substantial and delicate and the same time. I already own a Honey Locust necklace by Prismera, so perhaps it’s time to add to the collection, eh?

    This is so cute! I’ve been wearing a combo that reminds me of this, this summer – a pair a khaki shorts and a striped t-shirt, with brown leather sandals… But this is so much cuter…
    I love the sandals you’ve picked out… please let us know how they fit – I would love to get a pair in… well, every color… but I’ll settle for black, I don’t have black sandals. Talking about shoes – did you pick out a pair of “sport shoes” you couldn’t decide on before your yard sale?

    Have you heard the weather forecast for this weekend? It’s going to be in the 90′s!!!!
    Is that why you’re thinking of Fall?

    ooh! We’re about to move into our new house in Pittsburgh and just relocated from Texas. I’m already psyched about fall weather (and just having a reall fall in general)!! This makes me even more anxious for fall! :P

    Love your picks and the whole vibe of the outfit. I do like to have neutrals with pops of colour too :)

    You always put together the best pieces on your inspiration boards! It is rainy and cool here and it has me looking forward to fall as well. Love the bag and shoes….off to shop online! Thanks for the ideas :)

    Love the top! Must make a trip to Anthropologie soon! I’ve just discovered your blog and have been sleeping way too late just to catch up. Thanks for all the inspiration!

    I love all the pieces you’ve chosen. The cuff is my favorite, I must have it. Nicole, come by and check out the new City Escapes series. I would love for you to do the one on Chicago. I know you’re a busy mommy but it would turn out lovely if you did it.

    Just got the cord mini and wore it tonight – great skirt!

    I found your blog a few weeks ago and have been devouring your archives. I love that you feature great Etsy artists in your ‘monthly style’ along with the bigger stores. Every purse by that seller is to die for. I might have to order her Origami purse.

    LOVE the punch of red. Those shoes are to die for!

  18. DanielleNo Gravatar says:

    too cute! Have you ever ordered from Boden before? I love their catalogs, but have been disappointed with things I’ve ordered. That skirt is awfully tempting, tho…

  19. kristinNo Gravatar says:

    i LOVE all these things… but the shoes- only b/c i’m a sneaker gal! that skirt is soo cool. if only i weren’t pregnant and i could know what size i’ll be when the baby making phase is over in our lives….

  20. PaigeNo Gravatar says:

    Love this! I happen to be wearing almost this exact outfit today here in sunny and breezy Boston…chartreuse skirt though instead of red! Love your blog!

  21. NatalieNo Gravatar says:

    John and Sherry recommended you for my web design! Interested?

  22. LOVE the sandals. I must get me a pair!
