... mixing stripes, brocade... and fur for fall ...

With fall's official arrival this week...
and some beautiful SOCAL weather here...
I couldn't be happier...
to do some
new fall wardrobe styling.

I am so happy with my new fall mix.
Shopping my own closet of fall favorites...
I have styled some old favorites with a new twist...
and I'm loving this...

stripes + brocade ankle pants + fur vest + ankle strap heels + accessories

as always my friends

I wish you love and joy
as you style your life

  1. I want to know who takes all these gorgeous pictures for you? I have no one! And, I'm the most horrible photographer, of anything, not just me. xx's

  2. Marsha... my youngest son, who is becoming a gifted photographer, takes many of the photos of me. i take most all of the other photos... and as with anything... I have improved with LOTS of practice :))

  10. Stunning. Just stunning photos and outfit.

    The styling of the photos is great too, the apples and the wicker, the bag and the apples. Did you take the photos on a bench?

    I have to say...should you ever feel so inclined as to no longer require that bag, I will gladly take it off your hands! It has me drooling, and I don't even like bags.

    What kind is it?

    bisous

    1. Thank you Suzanne! I did shoot the pieces on a bench on the trail.

      The bag is a Dooney and Bourke... I got it two years ago for my trip to Napa... and i still love it!

      Loved your post today!

  16. I knew we were going to be in for a treat when you announced last week that you were gathering your fall wardrobe, but I had NO idea it would be this special. Wait, yes, I kind of did, it's you I'm talking about. This is just awe-inspiring. Perfect way to bring in Fall in grandiose fashion, my friend. And, talk about layering with detail and surprise, just lovely.
    I especially like the pop of fuscia in the one photo with those fun shoes.
