Fall Style-Edition: On the Hunt for the Perfect Weekend Boots

As fall approaches, I am on the hunt for a new pair of short boots. I have this pair but I'm looking for something in a relaxed lighter color.  The ideal pair would have a sturdy enough heel to wear all day and be a simple enough style that I could throw it on with anything from jeans and a tee to my favorite flowy dress.   With the Rachel Comey (top left) as inspiration, here are the contenders for my fall purchase: 

From left to right, top to bottom:

The splurge: Rachel Comey bootie boots ($403)

DV by Dolce Vita Jamison Booties ($119)

Suede options:

Sam Edelman Petty Booties ($160)

Asos Alpini Suede Chelsea Ankle Boots ($82)

Higher heels:

 TopShop Adore Beige Suede Ankle Booties ($124)

Acne Cypress high heel booties ($589)

The best deals:

Forever21 Short Cowboy Booties ($36)

Old Navy Faux Leather Ankle Boots ($35)

Wearing: Summer Layers

Fashion in San Francisco requires layers.  Even on the sunniest of days, you never know when you're going to turn the corner into a fog bank. At least layers can add a fun dimension to an otherwise boring outfit. 

Here is a simple look I wore on a "warm" Sunday a few weeks ago.

I am wearing: Gap striped shirt, J.Crew Factory Store navy skirt, Madewell grey & white oxfords, Urban Outfitters khaki anorak, old H&M scarf (with flamingos), Fossil watch, jewelry from Old Navy, BR and H&M.

A Wonderful Birthday...

My birthday celebration essentially spanned the entire weekend, and I couldn't be more thankful for my amazing family and friends!

Hope your weekends were similarly wonderful!  

New Sunnies!

A surprise package arrived for me in the mail yesterday and I had to share!

1.  the Kate Spade packaging made me really happy

2.  I LOVE the green lining to these fun new sunglasses 

3.  I wasn't even looking for a new pair, but these glases are a great addition to my collection!  I think the best gifts are the ones that you get plenty of use from, but you wouldn't buy yourself!
