HOUDINI.

so i have gone missing for a few weeks but all for the best. it involves new work, good work and formal cocktail parties at home. that being said, lets talk fall. hard to do when its 95 degrees every day here in boston but those of us in fashion or those of us who just care about fashion know that fall is the only real time that matters and the most fun and the time when you can wear the most clothes and still look incredible. winter doesnt count because survival isnt cool. fifty-five degrees and breezy is cool because new denim and boots and tops and gloves and layers and scarves and blazers and jackets etc. etc. etc. are the best.
i have decided that my pre-fall inspiration is 'eagle scout chic'. imagine oversized structure with cinched belts and lots of scarves and accessories. like we are on a march through the woods but instead of pots and pans and other clanky survival tools think jewelry, capes, buckles, basically accessories galore.

definitely this.

this.

not so much the center two but homegirl on the right for sure. 

some of this too.

so basically its boyish charm, dresses with pants, fur and leather possibly a sash and i think just maybe a merit badge or two. i also solemnly swear to never disappear for that long ever again. scouts honor.
