fall fashion: termpereley london

While in Hawaii, waiting for my good friend’s wedding to take place on Friday, I decided on my day 2 – free day to walk the streets adorned with designer boutiques. Which then led me to surf “the net” for fall fashion releases.  

You can take a girl out of her city, but you can’t take the city out of the girl. Check out Termpereley of London from here:

fall fashion to duplicate

Sometimes it doesn’t matter what designer or what store a piece of clothing is purchased from or admired, as long as it is easily and economically duplicatable. We all do it and the fact that it is encouraged through numerous blogs and magazines, make it even more fun.

So, in light of this and that, this fall I am going to duplicate:

in search of fall colors: a walk through napa

As I stated before I have fallen in love with Autumn and feel it is probably the most romantic time of the year and wish there were enough trees planted throughout the city of San Francisco to get a glimpse of the leaves changing color.   But since that’s not an option, I usually take a day trip to Napa in the Fall to get a glimpse of some of the most breath taking scenery.

fashionable ankle boots for fall to winter 2012

It goes without saying, most women love shoes and will probably shop for a pair at least once a month if not more. So, it goes without saying that I frequent shoe stores almost on a bi-weekly basis in an actual store and online on a daily basis. What can I say an addict is an addict

And for that, here are some of my favorite finds for this Fall to Winter season.

One: Jimmy Choo Lornes Suede Boots 895USD
Two: Acne Pistol Leather Ankle Boots 570USD
Three: Haide Rackermann Lace Up Suede 1182USD
Four: Rag and Bone Harro Leather Biker Boots 495USD
Five: Burberry Shearling Lined Leather Boots 950USD

fall fashion: tory burch

On Saturday it was super cold in San Francisco, even though the weather reports indicated otherwise.  So, although I made plans to leisurely walk along the beach, I ended up curled up under a blanket on the couch and began shopping online for sweater and warm dresses. First stop, Tory Burch, and I have to say she didn’t disappoint: 

1.Cornelia houndstooth dress 395USD.
2.Cornelia in red 395USD
3.Celeste Wool Twill 395USD
4.Jameson 425USD
5.Walden Cashmere 395USD
6.Alora Turtleneck 225USD
7.Carly Tunic 225USD

autumn in the air – what to look forward to

When you live in a city like San Francisco, it’s really difficult to tell when the seasons change. Unless of course you are completely in-tuned with nature. Either way,  Autumn has become one of my favorite seasons and one that I look forward to, almost secretly.

Autumn is an inspiring season for many reasons:

fashionable, warm, colorful sweaters and fun patterns

first chance to cuddle underneath a throw blankets on a chilly evening

best time of the year to bake warm apple tarts

enjoy a hot cup of english breakfast tea with a hint of cinnamon

the most picturesque walks to refuel one’s  soul

fall 2012 fashion loves from banana republic

Fall, definitely, is my favorite time of the year in fashion and there is no better place to shop for my fall ensemble then Banana Republic.

I love the fact, BR (which is how the company is known in San Francisco) has maintained a high standard in manufacturing their clothing line,  while staying tastefully fashionable.  I have shopped with them for several decades and hope to remain a loyal client for decades to come.

Check out some of my favorites which are versatile enough for the woman over 40 to consider.

fashion cut and paste

I stumbled upon these fashion photos here and I have to say, although I have an open mind to most anything suggested fashionably, I do have a problem understanding what the inspiration behind these cut and paste ensembles are?
