almost that time of year...

I've been seeing tinges of red, orange, and yellow on the leaves here in the Midwest. You know what that means... it's almost time to put on some nice warm coats, hats, scarves, gloves, and the like. I'm looking forward to a little cooler weather. --Not that it has been sweltering lately, or anything like that. I just like the way autumn makes you want to cozy up a bit, layer your clothes, make favorite comfort foods, and put an extra blanket on the bed.

Ann Taylor Spring 2011

I'm loving the looks I'm seeing for spring 2011 by Ann Taylor. Her line is always so classic and chic, and this season is no exception! Tailored and pretty at the same time. And I just love the flowers and trees in the ads. So romantic. Have a fabulous weekend, everybody!

pink trench coat lust

Last weekend, my boyfriend whisked me away to the coast for a lovely romantic getaway (happy sigh).

While walking around the little seaside town where we stayed, I spied a beautiful pale pink trench coat in a shop window. The trench was the perfect strawberry sorbet kind of color, and it had an unusual collar shape. The store was closed, though, so I couldn't even go in to look at it!

Now I'm daydreaming of going back there and getting that coat, not to mention daydreaming of moving to the beach!

Hmmm...maybe seaside housing prices will go down soon...
