Last weekend, I stored away most of my bright summer pieces while pondering how I could continue to incorporate my favorite prints through the rest of the year.  While my fall outfits will likely involve faux leather or leopard, floral prints will still stake a claim in this season’s wardrobe.  The difference: I’m reaching for moodier florals in darker colors and edgier details.  Check out a few of my favorite fall florals and let me know what you think of these transitional pieces.

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!

Whenever I go shopping, I make it a rule to only buy pieces that I can imagine myself wearing in at least two or three different outfits — a standard that helps me to prevent impulse purchases and saves me from buyer’s remorse later down the road.

Well, when I saw these these Sam Edelman wedges on sale, I immediately conjured up two different outfits: the first look still very much in a bright, summer mindset and the second being slightly toned down for fall.  I love the looks equally and have pretty much convinced myself that these wedges pass the test!  Leopard, after all, is a neutral. Which look is your favorite?
