Falling For You

Mid-July marks a frustrating period on the sartorial calendar: I'll overheat if I wear anything more than a filmy dress, yet I'm daydreaming about fall's lush textures. I don't want to jump the gun, but J.Crew's fall 2010 look book has me itching for artful layers of sequins, wool, leather, and piles of baubles - oh my! It hasn't taken long to compile an autumnal wish list:

  1. I LOVE those clogs!! And the driving gloves, so stylish! Too bad there really isn't a need for driving gloves in SoCal, but I always love the look of them.

  10. I'm all over fall myself now! I am dreaming of warm cozy tweed jackets and faux fur collars and gorgeous suede boots. Ah, full-price temptations ...

  11. While I am adoring this set, it kills me to think about fall fashion right now - I want my summer to last forever, and I hate the fashion industry for trying to trick me into wanting fall right now.

  13. Autumn weather depresses me because I know it's only getting colder, but I can't help but admit that for me, Fall clothes are the cutest clothes to wear all year! And you've put together another remarkable outfit, as per usual :)

    Have a great day Jessica!

  20. Ahh! I haven't even had one day to layout at the beach yet. It's been muggy and overcast for most of the summer. I'm wishing for an INdian Summer. Sorry - but I want to live in sandals and bikinis for as long as I can.
