dreary vs. cheery.

It’s been a dreary week in NYC of cloudy skies and unpredictable drizzle, but I’m not one to let the weather get me down.  Yesterday, I threw on this cheery outfit (complete with hot pink rain flats) for a lunch date with my blogger friend Tracy of The Right Shoes.  The humidity made the day unexpectedly warm and gross, but we made the best of it with some post-lunch macarons and a photoshoot at a nearby park.

talk to the hand.

Another perk of living on the east coast: being able to throw on a scarf in October because it actually gets chilly.  Weird, right?  Prior to my move, I had only been able to wear this hamsa-print scarf once without breaking into a sweat, but I’m looking forward to throwing more scarves into the rotation now that fall is officially here.

monthly musts: october 2012.

I didn’t even realize it was October until yesterday was nearly over.  So to ring in the new month, I’m starting a new segment called Monthly Musts — a roundup of essential items to get you through the next page of your wall calendar.

For October, I’m coveting pieces that are rich in color and texture.  Fall is a lot colder than my little Arizonan mind imagined so I’ll be stocking up on light and thick-knit sweaters, printed pants, and cozy boots.
