In Her Closet: Vintage Pendleton & Coach

A quick lunch time stop resulted in an old school wool Pendleton midi skirt and a perfectly worn in Coach bag.

 

Wishlist: Fendi Chameleon Laser-Cut Leather Heels

Dying a million deaths over these silver Fendi heels. Can we talk about the pointelle design along the heel? Need. Saks, $935

 

Editorial Style: Weekend Warriors

Teen Vogue had some great editorials in their September issue, but I think this one is my favorite. The styling is a little Mad Max meets Vivienne Westwood Punk meets the Great Plains. This means you have a mix of Navajo prints and plaids of various sizes coupled with crazy cool braids.

Fall and plaid tend to go hand and hand, but this is the first time that I've really started to appreciate the grid patterns. While polka dots tend to have a whimsical quality, plaid can have subversive connotations that make it all that more alluring.

Alexa Chung for Madewell Fall 2011

The first images of Alexa Chung's second collaboration with Madewell—due to hit stores September 22— are starting to hit online and in magazines. I'm interested in seeing more of the palm tree dress, along with a pair of leopard boots that Chung mentions in the article. "No one was making a leopard-print boot that I loved. The shoe you'll see in the stores is from my exact drawing."

You can see more images and the article in the September issue of Instyle Magazine.

In Her Home: 1940's Hanging Planter

I went to an antique flea market this weekend, but sadly, a lot of my favorite sellers weren't there. I was on the lookout for clothing, but I wound up purchasing a really odd painting and this 1940's hanging planter. I'm still very interested in pieces with a tribal bent, and I was really drawn to the blue color.

If you have any favorite plants that you like to use in hanging planters let me know!

Topshop Podium Cross Over Platforms

Trying to figure out if I can handle the 6" heels, even with the platform. Topshop, $220

Wishlist: J.Crew Hadley Sweater in Flamingo Pink

I've been searching forever for a pink sweater that isn't too sweet, and I'm hoping this might be a winner. It has a chunky neckline, epaulets, and a bright pink color that has nothing coy about it.  J.Crew, $98

Rag & Bone Shoreditch Shearling Jacket

Anyone want to buy me this Rag & Bone jacket? Gah, that hood. I could curl up in it and go right to sleep. Saks, $2,500

Burberry Prorsum Fall 2011 Shoes

I used to be able to run in heels, but ever since I hurt my knee I've been regulated to looking for shoes that will offer cushion and support while not looking orthopedic. Burberry's shoes for fall have height but look sudden sprint worthy with their lug sole platforms.

The Buckle Wedge Boots are a crazy hybrid shoe worthy of Frankenstein, and I love them. Saks, $895

Wishlist: Jason Wu Fall 2011 Tuxedo Jacket

I love the peek of black at the lapels of this Jason Wu Fall 2011 jacket. Net-a-Porter, $1,750
