As an Arizona girl living in NYC, fall is a bit of a strange season to me.  I’m used to the weather going from scorching to freezing in a matter of two weeks, which is why I’m completely unprepared for an entire season dedicated to transition.  I’m on the hunt for a new jacket to keep cozy while the temps slowly drop and the moto jacket is on the top of my list.  Check out a few of my favorite options and let me know which ones you’d rock!

This past Saturday, James, Tracy and I took a road trip to the Hamptons.  Considering that it was the first time that any of us had ever been, I couldn’t have asked for a more perfect start to the weekend.  We started with lunch in Southampton, followed by a little shopping on Main Street.

And even though our visit was brief, I couldn’t help but be overwhelmed with a kind of joy that is sometimes lacking when I’m in the city.  Outside of Manhattan, time moves a little bit slower and live feels a little bit more relaxed.  I completely understand the draw of the Hamptons and definitely plan on being back next season!

Tune in later this week for the next leg in our weekend adventure.  Hint: it’s even more peaceful than the Hamptons!

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.
