Loving on Fall
I'm going to pretend that Winter ISN'T coming, and it's going to stay fall forever...

Outfit of the Day
It's bit cooler today (boo to oncoming fall) so am in my jeans. Thankfully New York and Company started making 0s - I used to have a hell of a time finding jeans that fit me. The top is actually suede patchwork - I bought it about 10 years ago in Hong Kong and forgot I had it. I'm usually not a halter neck fan as I've fairly broad shoulders compared to the rest of me, but I like the neckline on this one.
Just for a change, absolutely nothing vintage today - I didn't know it was possible.

Fall 2010 - Colour Report
The new colours for Fall 2010, came out a few days ago, I'm rather pleased that I was bang on the money - the only two I didn't see coming was lipstick red and coral, but as they're colours I can't wear I don't feel that bad.
We're talking
Sunshine
Lagoon
Purple Orchid and Chocolate Truffle
Rose Dust
Oyster Gray
I like being right :D

Trends: Lovely Linen
I'm on a self imposed shopping ban right now.
I'm looking for a new house at the moment, and in preparation for the move, I'm trying to get as much sorted out now that I can. Yesterday, I attacked my wardrobe. How on EARTH do I have so many clothes? I think I'm going to make it a mission to wear something completely different every day for the next two months. I may even take pictures after I get my camera back.
Anyway, my latest love after finding things that I'd forgotten I had is linen. In the back of my closet I found a really cute cropped linen jacket which I seem to remember getting 4 years ago. There's something about the fabric which is just timelessly elegant.

Certainly SteamPunk
So Regretsy been running a series called 'Not Remotely Steampunk' the last week - frigging hilarious I must say.
But my spidey sense is tingling, and I have a feeling that steampunk is going to go mainstream for the fall. So, for your viewing pleasure, my outfit of the week is certaintly steampunk:

Trends: Aquamarine
As it's going to be staying in the mid 90s this week in Upstate NY, I can't help but be reminded of exotic beaches and beautiful blue seas.
I pretended yesterday - I took baby Blythe up to the lake and started on teaching her to swim. Thankfully she isn't afraid of the water, she adores it in fact, which is great as I'm far more of a water sports person than anything else - in fact I think I'm going to take a long weekend soon and go kayaking, I've not been out in ages and I fancy it.
But there is nothing that says sunshine and summer to me more than aquamarine - try it - you'll feel so cheerful :)

Wardrobe Wednesday: Short Shorts
I was chatting to someone the other day and I was saying that if I had it my way I'd only need a bikini all year round. And I also have a thing about short shorts. I own way to many pairs. I LOVE heat, and sunshine, and beaches, and perpetual summer.
I've come to the conclusion since living in the barren arctic north that the government must be putting something in the water that convinces people that playing in not quite frozen water, and that strapping planks of wood to their feet is fun. It's not. Think about how ridiculous that is for a second. I'm this close to actually buying my airstream and driving it down south.
But I digress.
For now I shall focus on the fact that it's nearly 90 outside, and show you my favourite barely there clothing.

Wardrobe Wednesday: World Traveller
Vintage Globe $100 IntoDumpsters.etsy.com
I have escape on the brain right now. I'd seriously like nothing better than to put my finger on a map and get on a plane. It isn't going to happen, but that doesn't stop me planning my outfit ;)

Tuesday Trends A Bit of Boho
As summer is finally arriving in full force, a trend I love that seems to come back year on year is boho thing. I always picture summer in my mind like an old Polaroid from the 70s, all deep and golden - so here's some 70s flare to add to your summer wardrobe :)
