fall in the city!

this is my beautiful view from the rooftop gym in my apartment! fall is here and hopefully we will be able to enjoy the colorful trees for a few more weeks! (enlarge the photo)

the bean

looking up at the exact center of the bean. if you look closely you can see yourself in the very center which is probably really 2 feet away but looks at least 2 miles!

crazy for moroccan

the textures in this room achieve a unique and comfortable look - from the one of a kind moroccan wall tapestry to the effortlessly draped couch covers. i love the simplicity of a predominately white room yet using splashes of different hues of blues to pop and add to the naturalistic feel. the lantern spices in a new element and works with the wood floors. now all i need is the beach house to mimic this effortless look!

wishlist for fall

here is what i am swooning over this fall...

i can't get this shoulder strap tote from jcrew out of my mind because it is the perfect size for my day to night needs yet appears less so by the foldover. i love having options and how nice is it to be able to carry by the handle with the strap hanging as well as over the shoulders. the two tassles and gold embellishments add the perfect amount of dressiness. the only problem is what color to pick - pink, slate or tan?! i am adding this bag early to my christmas list!





boyfriend blazers. i love the updated look of this blazer, the length and flattering tailoring make this a must have for fall. the best part of this look is that you can pair it with a vintage tee or a glittery top to create two extreme yet pretty looks.





the ultimate slipper dress. this is an updated take on the corduroy laura ashley dresses my mother used to dress me in for christmas eve mass. not only is this pocketed but the fit is flowy and would look great paired with stockings and black boots or colorful flats.








i came across this look and am obsessed with the simplicity. i have each piece but the weather has either been too hot or too chilly to pull off. i will save this one for a rainy day!







after watching last monday night's 'rachel zoe project' i was left with quite the impression from the fall 2009 paris fashion week. especially this chanel look... oh the hat, the little black dress, the pink tights, pure perfection!
