the portland collection ’12

tpcfall12

oh my gosh, you guys.  you thought the 2011 collection from The Portland Collection was amazing, right?  well, the 2012 collection blows it out of the water.  so many pieces {with a lot more focus on accessories and home as well!} and so much richness!  all I can say is that there’s a green coat that I’m dying over.  I can’t wait to share more, but here’s a few teaser images for now.

rachel comey fall ’12

rachel comey fall 12

yesterday afternoon I watched the Rachel Comey Fall ’12 RTW runway show streaming live on their website.  the webcam quality wasn’t the greatest so I was left a little underwhelmed at the end.  I was happy to see that photos from the show were posted on Style.com today, however, I’m still a little on the fence.  Rachel Comey is one of my favorite designers and I happily own many of her pieces.  I had a hard time finding something that really resonated with me from this collection.  I wasn’t feeling all the black and this comes from a gal who has a closet full of black clothes!  the collection felt a little more like a holiday collection with the leather, metallic and lace, rather than the usual rustic, warm collections usually associated with fall.  I do really love the blue / brown plaid dress in the middle and the dress to the right.  I can’t wait to see the rest of the silhouette.

sock season

it’s official.  sock season is here.  I’m thinking I need to sway from my standard black and grey favorites for some bright patterned pairs this fall.

sweaters

yesterday really felt like winter, minus the cold.  it was dark and dreary and WET.  all I wanted to do was bury myself in a giant, comfortable sweater while hiding inside all day.  one of these lovelies from Lauren Manoogian would have done the trick.
