Comfortable + city appropriate looks from Rachel Comey. Look 1 could go straight into my closet. (My eyes have adjusted to long skirts looking “right” again. Which is good news as I bought one for fall.) See the full collection at Style.com.

What a difference a week makes:  hot tea is the favored drink, the sunlight is amazing and golden. Hello, fall. I’ve missed you.

As New York Fashion Week is underway, I’m sure I’ll be back with posts as the collections inspire. Enjoy your weekend!

And congratulations, Victoria! You’ve won the Little Book of Letterpress. I’ll be sending you an email this morning to get your mailing address, and thanks to all for the comments. What a fine group of letterpress artists you’ve recommended!

Four Minnesota themes in all, with your choice of personalization (up to 25 characters). The internet for the win!

Snippets from London: Le Labo Poivre 23

le labo poivre 23, london exclusive | simple pretty

I splurged on a bottle of Le Labo‘s fragrance exclusive to London, Poivre 23, and am glad I did because whenever I wear it, I’m transported back to Liberty, and London. Starts with a hit of black pepper, and mellows to a musky, warm presence. I love it.
