Dear Nnenna,
It’s officially fall, although lately the weather seems to be swinging back and forth between summer and freezing. I actually love fall clothing, so even when it’s a warm fall I try to incorporate elements of dressing for the change of season. This dress is done in deep red and black, but it’s an airy chiffon that still keeps me cooler on hot days.

Dear Silvergirl,
Sometimes it can be hard to dress for fall when the weather is definitely favoring summer. I rolled up the sleeves of my blouse to try to keep cool, but I definitely still ended up melting in the humidity. I even pulled my hair back because it became too fluffy. …
Dear Francy,
As much as summer dresses are great, my preference is actually for fall clothing… the layers, the scarves, the textures– so much potential! During the summer I tend to dress extremely simply, so I try to add interest with color and pattern.
I’m finding myself ready for fall as August comes to a close. The extreme heat wave we had earlier this summer seems to have depleted all of my summer style inspiration, so I’ve been looking at how to wear Fall 2013 color trends right now while it’s still a little steamy out. The Pre-Fall collections I’ve seen are gorgeous, but it’s still early days here and on the warm side for the trends involving jackets and layers….
Well it’s certainly been cold and windy here lately. Winter is setting in. There’s also been a bit of snow, which you probably know that I love. All those winter sports as a child… I should never have stopped figure skating. That was one of my favorites.
Von Vonni was kind enough to send me this wintry patterned floral dress with long sleeves, which I just adore. I think that long sleeves are so underused on dresses.…
My name is Alex and I have been blogging in some form or another since 1998. I’m a former Manhattanite now living the quieter life in Brooklyn. I like outerwear and red lipstick.
When I was younger, I was let loose in a GAP Kids one too many times, resulting in many of the fashion choices you see here in my photos. I also read, traveled, and took cooking and art classes. Art eventually led me around to photography, and to this day I do enjoy a good brunch.
