i'm a such a sucker for the added accessories that chilly weather allows. and yep, still love boots beyond any sane resemblance of material obsessions. a while back i posted a collection of chelsea boots that were all calling my name and naturally i eschewed all of those options in favor of these gorgeous foot companions. i have incredibly narrow feet and when i stumble across a pair of boots that fit like a nice, tight sock (remind me to tell you about my childhood sock exploits - aka the period of my childhood that my dad calls "the worst time of his life") i fall head over heels, pun intended.

this sweet little burgundy hat was originally purchased for the purpose of 1) keeping the sun off my face at the hardly strictly blue grass festival in sf and 2) because i just like owning lots of hats. but i am very much enjoying the color this fall and low and behold it covers my head nicely when i just don't want to do much more than comb my hair over one shoulder and call it a day.

but see how well it worked here too 

days go by

i have not been the most responsible blogger lately. i've been too busy being a responsible everything else. between a really chaotic quarter at school (i feel like i bring a whole new meaning to super senior), working, and trying to keep up with daily usual, i feel like there is very little room for anything else in my life lately. which truthfully makes me feel a little incomplete and a lot frustrated. subsisting on things like venti pumpkin spice lattes and whatever can be thrown together in 20 minutes or less for dinner doesn't exactly inspire lots of solid rest and down time either so things like blogging, staying in touch with friends and family and a growing pile of errands along with a growing pile of "to-dos" keep nagging at the base of my head.

oof. whiny, huh? well, it is all about balance i guess, and sometimes in order to reach a balance point, you must first teeter around on the edges a bit. meanwhile i find refuge in old and new favorites. i can't seem to bother myself to do more than pull out the comfiest of clothes and stick to the basics. jeans, boots of some sort, vintage jewelry plus a watch to constantly keep me on track. oh! but the new edition of this gorgeous vintage leather bag! this thing takes the cake. all cakes. i want cake. it's huge, fits a laptop plus books plus an endless amount of cords, camera, etc, etc. my neighbor bought it in italy many years ago and decided to part with it at her (incredible) yard sale. my happy, happy gain.

put a cap on it

this is feeling a lot like a theme of late but if something inspires you, stick with it until it no longer does. so this post, like so many previous, is brought to you by a love of the sf giants and baseball in general! currently caught up in game seven of the nlcs and can hardly sit still long enough to type this out. am freaking the fuck out and loving every moment of it.
feast your eyes for some baseball cap inspired fashion and go buy one - preferably one that has an "sf" logo on it

lovin' delequint style

this has moved beyond ridiculous and into the realm of pathetic - have not been a very responsible blogger... somehow, two (+?) weeks got away from me and i am still lingering on my last post thinking that i should really get my ass in gear and sit down for five minutes to write a new damn entry. lots of things have happened which are probably easiest understood as a list (oh how i love thee). not limited to nor are the following are in any order of importance:

the giants have entered the post season (and have discovered that my hate for fox sports broadcasting can grow even more...)

i went to one of the last games of the regular season played at at&t park

school started

in accordance with above - i have already read  700+ pages in a week and a half

christmas presents have been purchased already

went to hardly strictly bluegrass festival in sf

new girl has started again

my shoe collection has grown yet again

etc...

today's lovin' post is apparently brought to you by things brown, leather and vintage

 

new vintage find from the local vintage fair - leather and knit jacket that fits like a glove and was so cheap it was almost laughable - sported here

thrifted vintage men's leather loafers

ultimate favorite thrift find - vintage coach bucket bag! more laughably priced than the above jacket...

tribal print clutch

 

not brown, technically not thrifted but found in my new favorite store which i have repeatedly mentioned on here, tomboy. vintage military shirt.

is there any better way to celebrate the first day of fall than with a NL West division clinch by the one and only band of brothers known as the giants? no? yeah, i didn't think so either.

if you have followed thegirlone for a while then you know of my avid love for the sf giants. see here for just a sampling of said love. and yesterday the g-men brought home the division win a whopping week before the regular season is over! if you have zero idea of what i am talking about then all you need to know is this: giants = 2012 division champs, holy fucking shit this is amazing! now we are off to attempt an incredible post season that hopefully ends with lots and lots of celebrating!

in ode to this particular epic first fall day, a{nother} casual day of running around getting crap done (i swear there is more to my life as of late...except maybe there really isn't...), proudly repping my hat and new orange bag, which i'm not gonna lie, the fact that it reminded me of sf had a lot to do with its appeal.

 

vans, gap boyfriend jeans, uo tank, vintage leather jacket, sf hat, aj morgan glasses, target bag, lucky watch

point a-d

proof positive that a) i love this shirt (perhaps too much), b) i am rehaving an affair with the hats in my closet, c) my obsession with anything that reminds me of beetle juice is still in full effect and d) when in doubt, add a red lip (you get offered a lot more help at the grocery store - senior citizen status). another casual day of running around doing errands. i'm 99% sure i have mentioned this already, but anything that even comes close to resembling what could be part of the beetle juice suit, i instantly become enamored with and want, want, want. i even have a pinterest board dedicated to all things vertical stripes. are you on pinterest? if so, give me a copy of your link in a comment and i would love to check out all your lovely pins! always hunting for inspiration, and hey, maybe you pinned something stripey and vertical and all tim burtonish and i need to obsess over it for awhile.

my kind of classics

how is it that these jeans never fail me? they are truly the best thing in my closet, bar none. except for all those other things that i love which i'm sure are escaping my mind.  until then, dear 501's, you complete me. anyway, day of running around downtown, crossing errands of the list, getting shit done, and finding a few things in between that probably didn't have to come home with me but did.
