A few fall ideas.

Broken closet
A very sad thing happened yesterday night. My hubby and I were watching TV when we heard a loud "crack." Turns out my portable closet rod snapped in half. It was used to store my coats/dresses/slacks..things I don't normally wear everyday. I guess I'll be needing a new one!

Since my clothes were already all over the floor, I decided to look through my cold-weather items. Clothing seems to feel brand new once you haven't worn them for a couple of seasons!

Here are a few fall ideas I got based on some inspirations:

Pair a black wool coat with a simple white dress and chunky necklace (add tights to warm up the chill factor).

Mix a military-style or band jacket with a fancy dress.

Roll the sleeves of your favorite plaid shirt over a blazer.

Don't be afraid to wear your sequins and sparkles during the day (otherwise, when will you actually wear them?).

Find some fun tights/leggings to wear during the fall and winter!

I leave you with a few photos from this past Labor Day weekend. The last two photos were taken with my cousin's LensBaby. Quite a fun lens if I do say so myself! We visited a winery in Temecula, CA. Never knew that the Inland Empire had such beautiful wineries!

I see trees of green, and red roses too...


Croc-embossed Doc Martens, wow!

3.1 Phillip Lim Fall 2009

Ruffles, hot pink, blush-pink, camel, fur, leather, gold sparkles, gloves...my eyes are going haywire from eye-candy overload! The last dress reminds me of the one I picked up at the garage sale, which makes me feel rather delighted. Another fall item to consider purchasing: bordeaux-colored stockings.

Seeing these photos make me even more antsy for Autumn. The heat wave and wildfires in our area have been making the end of the summer quite unbearable. I've always loved summer as a child, but as I grew older, I started looking forward to Fall. Even though it is rare to find colorful leaves trickling off branches in SoCal, I take the time to spot each one. 

There's always the feeling of starting something new during the Fall, even more so than the new year. It's the start of festivities, school years and (at least in CA) weather changes. Also, summer fashion feels so dreary and mundane-- shorts, tanks, dresses, sandals (repeat). I prefer blazers, layering, scarves, boots, coats, stockings, leather, etc... Basically, I choose ice over fire. Maybe I should consider moving...

I wanna rock with you...

More pieces that have caught my attention. Above is a beautiful leather jacket, something similar to what I've been looking for, but 10 times above my price range...

I go through strange phases in my life when it comes to fashion, and currently I've been tired of the ultra-femme/girly-girl look. I used to love it while working at Anthropologie, but lately I've been craving more edge and rock n' roll. I guess this phase came at the right time, as this upcoming season will be filled with leather, studs, metal, gilt, buckles, hardware and sequins, oh my!
