Even though I feel like I got a lot accomplished, this weekend FLEW by.  On Sunday, Tracy and I woke up at the crack of dawn (literally) for an early morning photo sesh.  Walking through the city at 6:30 AM was a completely different experience — the bustling streets and crowded parks were almost completely desolate.  Only a few crazies (present company included) were out and about so early.  It was eerie, but delightfully serene.

By the end of the morning, we had made our way to DUMBO.  We walked our way through the cobblestone streets and down the waterfront park, taking in the “never-gets-old” views of the Manhattan skyline.  And even though it’s only August, my color palette over the weekend feels like the seasons are already changing.  Oxblood is back, balanced with lighter cranberry chevrons for an outfit that has me excited for cooler  weather and a moodier season.

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.

1. BaubleBar Bauble Bib — $36
2. Loeffler Randall Rain Boots — $150
3. Essie Fall Nail Polish Collection — $17
4. Topshop Camo Print Skinny Jeans — $80
5. Apt. 9 Snakeskin Collar Necklace — $18.20
6. Kate Spade Chambers Street Carlyle Bag — $358
7. J.Crew Tippi Sweater — $59.50 (on sale!)
