Leather & Wool & Suede, Oh My!

I went up to Manhattan this weekend for work and knew this dress had to make the trek.  I love the leather and wool - so warm and perfect for the season.  Normally I would have worn different shoes, but since I would be working and on my feet for our event all day, I thought stability and comfort were better.

I LOVE being in the city, and I'm sad it was for such a short while.  I've been to New York over a dozen times (it's about 3.5 hours away) but I could do weeks and weeks there.  There is so much history, I feel like I'm on an episode of Friends and I always have great stories.  Maybe one day I'll live up there - but for now, I'll pretend I'm Blair Waldorf on the weekends, and live amongst the Amish on weekdays.

Do you have a favorite city?  Do you love New York?  Do you try and pick out fun outfits when you go in to the city, like me?

Sabrina






This dress makes me feel like Audrey Hepburn in Sabrina.  I've always loved LBD's and I could never have too many.  The classic cut of this one had to make it's way into my closet.  I have worn bows for a while, and even though I wear them less and less the older I get, I still am drawn to them.  Maybe once in a while, I can get away with it.

Black & White & Red in Some Places

This was the first shirt I bought when the peplum trend emerged.  Not only was it risky because of the new trend, the crochet pattern and the low back made it more special.  I love this shirt though for how fancy it looks (and trust me it's not).  I don't care what anyone says - white after Labor Day is fun :)
