fall-ing

i am constantly in a perpetual transition of looking ahead to the next season and moving away from whatever current one i am in. this is two-fold in the sense that it is frustrating to not be able to appreciate that i am still enjoying summer with just under two months more of summer vacation but also makes me excited for the coming months of cool(er) days, layers, boots and blazers. let's be honest. i used a healthy dose of cinnamon in my breakfast this morning and my senses instantly picked up "christmas!" oy.
i think living in santa cruz lends itself to feeling this way. waking up two weeks in a row to foggy mornings doesn't exactly inspire beachwear. rather it makes me wonder if i am going to be overdressed for the afternoon sun and then sweating my way into evening. lovely image. so instead i am riding the fog line into fall inspiration. basic outerwear gets extra oomph from fun details:


floral kimonos/bed jackets for the days that still have warmth. and cowboy boots, naturally

anything yellow for when i need a reminder of the summer days i was so eager to be free of come fall

a flighty blazer with neutrals underneath

oversize chunky knits with killer shoes and tote bags!

oh lord, mix my two cravings: floral print & blazer...drool

and another take on the yellow theme - mustard blazer. if this aint fall, i don't know what garment is.
