Style

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?

    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

    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.

    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.

    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…
