Seeing Tan. Mixed neutrals have been a long-time favorite of mine for winter

dressing--nothing is easier or more fashionable in the freezing cold. Add in a chic

ponytail, riding boots and a little blush and you have the ideal winter look. As winter

winds to an end I vow to get more wear out of my cold weather favorites--then safely

pack them away for the rich and vibrant summer.

I Needed That

Rebecca Taylor Steals My Heart. Sometimes I feel like I can't keep up with fashion--the constant evolution and countless trends and lines that feel so foreign to my aesthetic--but then I see collections that give me that inner motivation to keep on loving clothes. Rebecca Taylor does that for me. A continually beautiful and aw inspiring line that is so perfectly balanced. The feeling that she creates with every piece makes me emotionally transport to a meadow in New Zealand (her homeland) with a picnic lunch, a flower headband and a dozen friends. Because that's what it's all about--putting something on your body that takes you to another mood, place or feeling. How sweet it is.

all things fantastic

gimme the good stuff

Stalkerazzi. Jak&Jil is my go-to-blog for crystal clear pics of all the good stuff from fashion week. I mean, what else do we need to see other than off-duty models, perfectly styled editors and a parade of bag and shoe close-ups?! The above pics are my fave of late, hope you enjoy them! What's your fave street style blog?

Monday. Strong shoulders, varying shades of grey, classic black pumps. Perfect.

Tuesday. Just when I think I am over something I am trust back into it like a ton of bricks. I spend the greater part of '04 and '05 wearing as much faux fur as humanly possible, and although it has been a few years since then, I didn't think I'd be lusting so soon. In the past it was a fur trimmed jacket, or a fur bomber with a vintage tee and jeans, but this season will be more polished, and in vest form. Let the hunt begin.

Monday. Planning ahead is not my strongest trait, so potentially hosting a Halloween party with some neighbors (who obviously DO plan ahead) leaves me day-dreaming about the best costume. My normal halloween costume would be thrown together the day of, out of my regular closet, with a dreaded drug store accessory like cat ears/indian head piece/children's witch hat. With time on my side I am actually excited. Any ideas???

I die

Alexander Wang RTW 2010. I wasn't sure if Alexander Wang's ready-to-wear collection could top previous seasons, but I was pleasently suprised when I logged onto style.com this morning to check out all the mayhem from NYFW. It is a stark comparison to last years black, white and denim-blue pallate. The heather grey and tan leather is unexpected, while the sexy black is totally Wang. The stripes, the white fluff, the braids and brows, and the khaki trench are all ridiculous! I die.

UPDATE (9-16-09): Check out backstage pics of the show here.
