Farewell to Summer

Although the weather hasn't quite caught up with us yet, with New York Fashion Week alive and well here in the City, and Labor Day now behind us, we're trading in our summer brights for oxblood lips.

But as this week draws to a close, I must share my last summer look of the year in probably my most favorite vintage find to date. There was no dress more perfect for our time in South Carolina - our trip that celebrated the end of summer - and it will happily hang on my garment rack until I can proudly wear it again next year.

Cheers to summer ... and here's to an incredible fall!

Sentimental Summer

We spent the last week at the (incredible) Wild Dunes Resort on the Isle of Palms in South Carolina - and let me just say there is nothing better than a week full of resort living complete with sun, beach, ocean waves & pools! With the rain here in New York today, I am having extremely fond memories of this moment taken just a few days ago, when there wasn't even a cloud in the bright blue sky:

Dress: J.Crew - last year (great alternative here) / Oxford: Ralph Lauren (or, create your own here) / Hat: Sun'n'Sand (a last minute purchase at the Wild Dunes Resort) / Jewelry: personal collection

Miss Maxi

Summertime certainly calls for the maxi dress ... so why not one that is vintage, purple, and has a cowl neck?   And because my stellar stylist & I j'adore a good scarf, this dress called for one tied as a belt. After all, we've been known to re-think a scarf before.

Dress: vintage cowl neck maxi from Vice Versa / Scarf: personal collection / Wristwear: Wanderlust + Co. (seen here) and two Marseille + Milano 6-Stone bangles by Julie Collection / Earrings: Angeline in Smoky Topaz by Julie Collection / Nails: OPI
