The good news is that most of the fall items I have my eye on at J.Crew didn't show up in their latest rollout. The bad news is that one of them did. If you read this blog on a regular basis you know there is no shortage of snake print love here at Moodboard.
The No.2 Pencil Skirt in Snake Print is extra tempting because it would work as a transitional piece from now through fall. I told you my resolve wouldn't last long.
I know this will change, but right now all I want for fall is a pair of Proenza Schouler F/W 2012 boots and a stack of grey cashmere sweaters.
These images of Rachel Weisz in Vogue UK July 2012 perfectly sum up the look I'm going for. A step up from a sweatershirt, but with the same slouchy feel and ability to ground flights of fancy pieces.

I've been concentrating most of my purchases towards the house, but this Isabel Marant skirt caught my attention when it popped up on La Garconne this morning .
The whole outfit is very me, but I'm trying to be very good. Sigh.
(The look on the model's face is cracking me up. She looks so disgusted.)

It is the first day of summer but I'm thinking about fall thanks to all the new pieces that popped up on Net-A-Porter this morning. Nevermind that we are in the middle of a heatwave, I'm dreaming of asymetrical wool skirts, perfect grey boots, and leather trimmed cashmere.
Hopefully this autumn delirium won't last long, as I have a full summer spread out in front of me that I want to enjoy. Well, If I ever get this work crew out of my house.
Cashmere Open Stitch Sweater in Seaside Aqua and Classic Mini in Double Serge Cotton in Spearmint I kinda want to wear these together.
I couldn't find these shorts for sale online, but I'm intrigued.
Silky Pleated Pant in Navy and Vintage Cotton Cap Sleeve Tee in Blue Belvedere I just like this overall look.
Audra Sandals I really wish they had made these in matte black and silver colors, but I'm crossing my fingers the pale gold works. I love a little criss cross around the ankle.
I've been collecting clothing with grid patterns for the past year, so Marni's Fall 2012 collection is right up my alley. I'm still loving marled knit sweaters, and the checked blue overlay on this cardigan is just the icing on the cake. Marni.com, $760
1. Sacaton Dinner Plate, $20 2. Symbology Coasters, $10 3. Symbology Trivet, $24 4. Pennant Inlaid Knob, $14
The cups I found at the estate sale remind me of Anthropologie's latest home collection. Geometric patterns are having a resurgence right now, and reaching saturation levels, but I really love this color palette. There are coasters to match the trivet, and they are high on my wish list.
I haven't wanted a pointy toe shoe in ages, but these Manolo Blahnik heels make my heart race. Saks, $830
Native Line tapestry from Maryam Nassir Zadeh, $285
Mirror and wood hanging tapestry from Anthropologie, $4,800
We have two designated living spaces in our new house, one being more formal, while the other has a more relaxed 70's feeling. I want something like these tapestries to hang in that room, but it needs to be a little more budget friendly.
I keep wanting to touch my computer screen when I look at the woven metallic tapestry. The shimmering brass, gold, and silver threads are gorgeous.
