Day off touch-up turned into full shebang.

In the past year I’ve gone from natural ginger to blonde, to BAM red, BAM red with neon purple streaks, back to ginger, back to BAM red…been awhile since I’ve been brunette.

I really can’t believe it’s almost the end of summer. Fall/winter dressing isn’t my favorite but I still can find joy in it….already starting to add to my fall shopping list.

Cool, multi-fabric jackets. This one from River Island might have to make a trip overseas to be in my closet. Draped boucle and leather (faux) mix? Yes, please.
Little gold belt. I don’t like using the actual fasteners for jackets. I like belting my outerwear…makes it more personal. And a little gold one could go over so much…big sweaters, sweater dresses, oversized blazers, etc. Will definitely come in handy for layering.
This cool graffic tee from UO may or may not already be on it’s way to my house.
Alexander McQueen skull scarves. Simple luxury/keepsake. And hunter and jade are huge for fall.
Easy striped sweater dress. I feel like this was on my list last fall and I still don’t own one. So many possibilities.
Art-deco adornment. I LOVE anything and everything art deco so if I can find little pieces to put on my body, I’m a happy camper.
I’ve been in lust with this 3.1 Phillip Lim dress since shopbop.com featured it on one of their lookbooks a couple months back. I love navy as an alternative to black and this dress is the perfect shape and would be great with some cowboy-ish ankle boots.
Over-the-knee black boots. Flat for fear of looking too Pretty Woman. And Frye makes the sturdiest, longest lasting boots around. Definitely worth the money up front and the 30 bucks to resole once a year.
Grown-up Alexander Wang satchel. I think it’s time to retire the beloved Rocco for something more structured and grown-up. I think the Pelican is up there with the Birkin or some Prada satchel without the outrageous price tag.
Black high-waisted skinnies. All the long-legged, small-waisted girls rejoiced when high-waist came back. And apparently Urban makes some of their jeans with a 34 inch inseam which is ALMOST long enough and can be made to work. $60 BDG versus $300 Paige’s or Hudsons…..
Bad ass look-at-me flats. Enough said.

Maybe I’m ready for fall…

My second favorite redhead…TTH. AKA Taylor Tomasi Hill. Another master of eclectic wear-what-you-want dressing. I love the way she mixes textures and pairs masculine elements with feminine elements.

I’m not looking forward to fall or winter…I love summer dressing. But with the help of TTH and her lessons in fashionable layering…I think I might just make it until next summer.

Option number two for new home…..The Big Apple.

I. Love. New York.

I haven’t been in almost two years now….so sad. I miss it. Planning a trip before the end of the year…maybe home/job scouting?

I love the CONSTANT bustle of the city. There is always something to do, someone to see, and somewhere to be. It’s the perfect place for young, single adults to experience so much.

I have a severe case of Wanderlust. Realizing you’ve been living in the same place for 11 years can do that to you…especially when you’ve never liked it.

But when your family moves you there, you have to finish out school, and then you decide to go to college in the next town over and then your beloved part time job is promoted into a beloved full time job and then one day you wake up and realize….you hate where you are.

I’ve decided come the end of the year…it’s adios NorCo. As of right now, the plan is Denver but I don’t think that’s going to satisfy me. I think I need bigger. I need to find where I want to be and I think I just need to start picking places and go.

I have a crazy obsession with Paris. Well, France in general. But there’s just something about Paris. The fashion, the romance, the language, the history…it seems like a place where nothing bad could ever happen.

So I present, my favorite option…..Paris.
