unruly things

orange really isn’t my color, but I love the texture and details of this Rachel Comey dress.  looks like it comes in black too.

from A.P.C. Madras for Urban Outfitters.

thanks to Roberta, I quickly clicked over to Zara this morning to check out the new looks.  while I love the casual layering pieces she posted about, I’m really drawn to these classy “wear-to-work” looks from Zara Woman.  I just purchased a champagne colored coat that I’m super excited to pair with black when the temps drop.

I love these lookbook photos from No. 6 fall 2010 apparel collection.  I love that most of the lookbook are high contrast black and white photos.  guess you don’t always need color to fall in love!

I realize my posts might seem a little schitzo lately, but it’s that darn toss up between loving fall clothes and not wanting summer to end.  I’m head over heels for this dress.  the print looks a little Rachel Comey-esque and besides, I could toss a cardigan over it and throw on some leggings when it got colder, right?

the first few pages of the early autumn Toast catalog have me yearning for cooler* weather.  it also makes the messy artist in me want to get out my paints and go crazy.  luckily, myself and a few friends have plans for tie dying/dip dying this weekend.

*no, not cold.  just cool enough for leggings, light sweaters and scarves…  just incase Mother Nature is reading.  :)

I love everything about this look from the Chloe Fall ’10 collection, despite the fact that it’s currently 80 degrees outside and quickly approaching 100 today in Portland.  Chloe always seems to get it right, with pretty structured neutrals.

Suann posted the cutest pair of little girl sized glitter sneakers yesterday, which sent me on a hunt for a pair my size.  I got off track when I spotted these metallic Chucks.

now… I’m not normally a flashy kind of girl, but I’m seriously thinking about putting them on my “must-have” list for fall.

thanks to Mrs. French, I too have found the perfect fall collection that I could live in every day.  I almost always wear jeans, so any way I can dress them up with out feeling too casual is my M.O.

I love this look.  it seems so comfortable!  and that little keyhole in the back of the cardigan gives it something special, don’t you think?
