My Fall Fashion Finds
I really don’t go shopping that often. Only a couple of times a year. However, my closets and dresser (and yes, even under my bed) are jammed with skirts, dresses, shoes, jeans and even some of those college greek t-shirts. Some things dressy, some things tailored but it’s all things I’ve accumulated over time and because I really only buy things I love, I don’t throw a lot of things out.
However, I had reached a point where I was saving things that I knew I hadn’t worn in years and in an old Georgetown row house like mine, storage space is precious. So, I tackled some much-needed fall cleaning. Then last weekend, I did some shopping and filled most of the space I had cleared. I was feeling gross and dreading the cooler weather because I never feel like my clothes are as cute as in the summer. It is so nice in the warmer months to just be able to throw on a dress and head out. In the winter, it is much more complicated to combine form and function. You can be warm, but you will be frumpy. Or you can look cute, but be guaranteed to freeze. So I did some strolling to see if I could find a few winter pieces to add to my wardrobe, that will get me through the depressing months ahead!
Below are some of my finds…
Alexa Chung for Madewell Dress
LL Bean (Yes, you heard me right) Oxford Heels
Jcrew Black and Gold Skirt
Jcrew Black Denim Jeans

Friday Find: Etsy Shop
So a have a small collection of milk glass pieces that I have received from my Nonni (Italian Grandmother) and other family over the last several years. At first I didn’t think I like milk glass that much, but it has grown on me and now I’m thinking of other pieces I can add.
Most recently, I found on Etsy a milk glass cream and sugar set. 
Mostly I just love cream and white pottery and serve ware. I hope to have a collection like this one day: 
Happy Friday!!! The weather is great in DC, I have pulled out the summer dresses and no more tights or scarves! I hope to wander some antique shops this weekend too!

Milly Forever!
If I could wear one brand for the rest of my life it would be Milly!
I love the brand so much-all the tailored details of each piece, the colors and fabrics. I always feel great wearing Milly. These are two pieces from her resort/pre-spring collection that I picked up at Bergdorf while I was in New York last weekend. If only I could afford the whole collection!
Italian Jacquard Sailor Dress
Tweed Toggle Jacket

Back from The City
Hello All-
Well, I spent the long weekend in New York City (and I night in the Berkshires as well). My sister recently got engaged before Christmas and so my mom, sister and a few friends met up in New York City to do some wedding dress shopping.
View from Top Of The Rock
I still feel like I am recovering from the exhausting weekend. Some highlights from the weekend:
1. Trip to Kleinfield’s- the wedding mega-store featured on “Say Yes To The Dress.”
2. Lunch and afternoon drinks at The Plaza
3. Shopping at Bergdorf Goodman- Where Anna found her dream dress- it’s beautiful!
4. Broadway Show, “Fimian’s Rainbow“
5. The Berkshires – the slow fall of the snow and white wonderland was beautiful despite the cold weather!
