Good morning, Friday. Again it's hot as hell here in the city and this weekend it's going to feel even worse. Guess I'll be indoors for most of it, and with that, it's officially time to think about my favorite season, Fall.
Man do I love me some Fall- from everything pumpkin to falling leaves to a chill in the air, it's for me. So thought I'd go back to an old favorite, the Friday Five spot, and dedicate this post to Autumn goodness. So here's five for Fall- just some things I've got my eye on really and now you will too:
Pamela Love necklace- So many of you are already in love with Pamela Love as I am, but I'm falling back in love hard with this amazing suspension necklace spotted on my travels around the interweb. I love the look of this on a turtleneck, whose ubiquity is a serious staple of Fall (black turtlenecks, black cashmere v neck, check check)- what a gorgeous piece and a cool riff on the choker trend. Obsessed. PS that hair.
Balenciaga campaign- My friend sent me this gorgeous campaign yesterday. Shot by Mark Borthwick and first campaign from new artistic director Demna Gvasalia, it's drool worthy and I want everything. All if it. Favorite campaign of Fall so far, can't wait to get my September issue and see the rest. Kind of want to wait till it arrives and be spoil free so putting a self imposed embargo on looking at any other campaigns online. But this one? Sublime. Love the use of models doing their every day thing. Next level street style vibes. Tres bien.
Ugly/pretty shoes- Sometimes there's a shoe that's so ugly it's cute- we've had seasons of footwear in that genre from Birkenstocks to Tevas to platform sneakers. Last winter the hiking boot became a thing, and love this next version of it from Rag and Bone, and in my favorite, patent leather. And as a bonus- this Isabel Marant Brent sneaker has me loving the whole Isabel sneaker thing again. Scheming to get these. I love them, I hate them, I love them.
Land of Women bras/undies- I absolutely love this line. Spotted on Racked yesterday and heavenly. I have a real thing for simple and soft bras and underwear and am now a huge fan of these sexy pieces. Not cheap in any way, but think next level Hanro game. That high waisted brief is magical. Need. Want. Dot dot dot.
Black Crane painter dress- My love for Black Crane is legit. I adore how these voluminous pieces look like a potato sack on the hanger, but manage to flatter a woman's body so well. I saw this dress at Steven Alan last week and bought it- it's a light corduroy fabric and has an almost rounded silhouette that is really super elegant. Can't wait to wear it with those Isabel sneakers I'm dreaming of. PS- Black Crane is affordable, which is good news if you're buying any of the above. ;)
And that's what's up this is is Fall yet kind of Friday in the 212. Yours, in counting the minutes. XO
