'TIL THE LAST LEAF FALLS

Here in Minnesota we have experienced some characteristics of winter, like frosty air and that dreaded SNOW. A few good inches have fallen, but lets not forget there are still leaves on the trees, and until they have been raked and bagged to your front lawn there is more fall dressing to do.

Annie Hall
I love this movie. There is just something about NYC with these two that has a great fall feel. Not to mention her timeless striped scarf.

Annie Hall's Boyfriend look. The vest and hat are essential. Wear the vest over anything; a tee, blouse, sweater or turtleneck. Great for any occasion.

Trousers in any shape or form. Skinny or cropped trousers work well with high stockings and boots. Flare or wide legged trousers look great with a tucked in tee or blouse. And don't forget that fur vests or scarves are still very much in.

Rain boots. I call this a hippie chic look. Wear them with your feminine skirts, dresses and tights. How comfy and cute!
I love these surf boards. By designer Kelly Wearstler. An inspirational decorator with her own studio, Kelly is well known for her colorful and mod-baroque interiors. Most popular at the Viceroy Hotel.

Bohemian fall patterns. Your summer dresses maybe thin, but if they are the right color, add them to your fall and winter collection too. Wear them with leggings, a turtleneck, and top it off with a scarf.

Ikat coat. Ikat is a style of weaving meaning to tie or bind. Using a resist dying process that is similar to tie-dye on the warp or weft before the threads are woven to create a pattern on the fabric. I love these Ikat coats, very innovative and bright. The coat says it all.

Studded rocker booties. The studded detail and buckles have a great edge. Wear them with your skinny's, leggings, or tights.

Plaid A-line coat. Classic black and white with cropped sleeves. Show off your cozy sweater underneath or wear high leather or knit gloves for a chic NY look.

Mustard cardigan with feminine detail. What a lovely layering piece for any occasion.

Mustard silk dress and red lipstick. Classic and chic for a fancy evening.

The Mod turtleneck dress. A must have for any women's closet. Wear it casual with a vest, dress it up with tights and a belt, or make it cozy with flat boots and a scarf.

Hunters plaid. This plaid is great on almost anything. Hats, mittens, skirts, jackets and scarfs, find your must have.
Funky shoes! How delightful, if you are a shoe fanatic these are a must!

Plaid blazers. Looking for something new to add to your closet, try something like this with a basic tee, skinny jeans or leggings for an overall great casual look.

Plaid dresses are still in. I love this dress. The drape on the neckline is very mod and refreshing.

Suits your fancy. The detail on this top is very pleasing. Wear it with jeans or dress it up with a pencil skirt. Very chic!
Retro clutch. Great art-deco detail with suede insets.

The cute ugly sweater.
