It would feel weird to not mention the anniversary of September 11th today. Even though it has been 12 years, it is something that I think about on a regular basis. It's scary how in one moment your whole world can change. But it is also good to remember that we made it through the hard times and recovered from the tragedy.  With all the bad we see that our nation can pull together to support one another.

We're in September, so it's okay to talk about Fall style now, right? Well I've had this Tory Burch Fall lookbook bookmarked for a few weeks and thought I would share some of my favorite shots.  The styling is spot on and I just love all the pieces! If only they weren't so expensive. I guess I'll just have to drool from afar or find alternatives!

Photo 1. That textured teal coat = perfection (and look at that dude hiding the background)
Photo 2. Everything in this shot needs to join my closet.
Photo 3. Purple, need I say more?
Photo 4. Awesome jackets, cool textures!
Photo 5. Amazing styling

It seems I have been into layering sweaters over dresses lately.  First last week, now this week. Ha ha.  I wore this last Thursday on my day off to run some errands.  We're getting into that nice pre-fall weather where we can wear sweaters and bare legs and be okay most of the time.  Such perfect weather if I do say so myself! Luckily, since this is a sweater over a dress I could have taken the sweater off if it suddenly heated up.

Apparently I was into flat sandals and jeans this week. But sometimes I'm just not in the mood to wear a skirt on the train even if it will be hot in the city. I only went into work 2 days this week because of Labor Day and Rosh Hashanah and today I work from home.  It was a pretty good week, I got to catch up on my DVRed movies yesterday and had one of my favorite things for lunch - a Duchess hot dog with ketchup and bacon...YUM!

I have some pretty good plans this weekend.  Tonight I'm headed to my aunt's for a massage and sleepover. We want to watch the new Star Trek because it's on demand, hopefully we can watch it on their TV, if not we'll find something else. I'm one of those weird people that enjoys hanging out with my family (immediate and extended.) I live with 2 of my cousins after-all ;)  THEN on Sunday I'm going to the city with Lydia for a fashion week party! Weee!

What happens when you put Anna Dello Russo, Harry Potter, and Vogue Japan together? MAGIC!  In love with this shoot from Vogue Japan's October issue! Obviously I would be, it mixes Potter and fashion.
