Channeling a little Audrey

I'm wearing:
60s Blue London Fog A-Line Coat
Vintage Brazilian Riding Boots

At the first hint of fall in the air, I could not wait to wear a pair of caramel Brazilian riding boots I found in Georgia. Boot season is just about to kick off! Paired with my new boots, I wore this 60s blue combed cotton coat. There's a special place in my heart for coats cut like dresses.

After shooting some new items for the shop, I was flipping through one of my Audrey Hepburn books & stumbled upon a photo of her that must have been my subconscious inspiration for the coat shots. Just can't help it.....she constantly inspires me! What are you feeling inspired by with the shifting seasons?

Here Comes Summer!

So I'm back from my first trip to East Hampton and after four or five barbecues and a little sunshine I couldn't be more ready for summertime! I was thinking Audrey Hepburn in Sabrina while packing my bag for the weekend. The scene where she & Humprey Bogart go sailing made me excited to bring out my best pair of high waisted shorts. They are crisp cotton white shorts from the 50's with a zipper and button on the back. The length is just right to be fresh without showing too much. They ended up being a staple during the day with a few layering pieces to throw on over them. I lived in the seersucker jacket. It was the perfect weight for the chillier nights and great as a beach cover-up that kept me warm when the sun slipped behind the clouds. Unsure of what all we would be doing, I decided to toss in a couple of cotton dresses to wear casually with my nude saltwater sandals. That turned out to be what I threw on when we went to a brunch on Sunday morning. To keep it simple and to really feel like I was on vacation I wore a silk scarf in my hair so I didn't have to fuss with a blow dryer or hair product. While I'm typing this I'm missing the pool & endless goodies from the grill. Hope you had a wonderful start to summer, too!
