Is there a color you feel most you in? For me it's always a shade of blue. There are other colors that feel too boring or too bright but blue is almost always just right. Tell me I'm not the only one!
HAPPY FRIDAY!
Can you believe it's the last weekend in September? I plan to treat myself to a few fresh blooms before we shift focus to carving pumpkins. Who's with me?

J.CREW SALE PICKS
J.Crew is offering 25% off and free shipping with code STYLE25 at checkout through Sunday! This is the perfect time to invest in a few staples and refresh your closet for fall (or get ahead on holiday shopping). The monogrammed pullover and this quilted vest are headed my way! What's in your shopping cart? Do tell!
OUTFIT PLANNING
J.Crew striped sweater // J.Crew quilted vest (obsessed!) // AG skinny jeans
I swear it went from summer to winter in less than a week! It was forty degrees when I woke up yesterday, so naturally I broke out the faux fur... until it hit seventy-five in the afternoon. Here's a look I plan to wear well through fall: a lightweight sweater and jeans with a cute vest I can ditch once it warms up.
P.S. J.Crew is offering 25% off and free shipping with code STYLE25 at checkout!
P.P.S. Michael was game to participate in Victoria's hilarious "The Man Behind The Blog" feature! Click on over to find out when I told him I'd started a blog, what he likes about dating a blogger, and what he still totally doesn't get about girls in high heels ;)
A FEW FAVORITE ROOMS...
I'll never tire of classic white interiors with blue accents. The last space makes me so happy — the books, the fabrics, the layout! Find more interior inspiration here.

AN OUTFIT FOR A RAINY DAY
Tomorrow marks the official first day of fall but here in Connecticut we've had the weather to prove it all week. We decided to let Rory play in the river before it gets too cold and I'm pretty sure it was the best afternoon of his life. Is it starting to feel like fall where you are? Time for me to switch over to hot lattés in the morning :)
P.S. I'm sharing a few tidbits about organization on Lexi's blog today if you'd like to check it out!
101 IN 1001 UPDATE
Later this month is the one-year mark until the end of my 101 in 1001 list and suffice it to say I have a lot of things to cross off in the final 365 days! Because I'm addicted to making lists it can be a little overwhelming to look at all my uncompleted tasks at once, here's a mini list of tasks I'd like to cross off before the end of 2012.
19. Drink eight glasses of water every day for one week.
Why oh why is this so hard for me?
39. Ride on a sailboat.
Preferably in September or October...
41. Try acupuncture.
So looking forward to this one.
44. Throw a murder mystery party.
Hello, Halloween!
55. See a comedy show.
Any recommendations?
60. Read every Jane Austen novel.
Three down, three to go!
74. Find my signature scent.
Time to shop! ;)
87. See a double feature.
Maybe at Christmastime?
95. See five Audrey Hepburn films.
Thanks to my Aunt Jill for helping this one along!
101. Continue to put $10 into savings for every goal accomplished.
Cha-ching!
What's one thing you hope to accomplish before the end of 2012?!
BOOKWORM
Everything about fall makes me want to curl up in a comfy chair with a good book (or a pink leather dictionary, as the case may be). What's your favorite classic read?
P.S. A few cute new arrivals in the boutique!
A FEW UPDATES...
I'm working hard to add new products to the boutique as often as possible! Did you see these cosmetic bags? I'm smitten with the blue set.
We sold through two of the new trays but we still have two of the tan zebra! I hope to have the others back in stock later this week. Isn't this pretty with the tortoiseshell glasses? *UPDATE: All trays are sold out but will be back in stock asap.
I wore my favorite peplum tank with new leopard flats for a dinner date — gotta wear those summer clothes before it's too late! ;)
The horn sculpture is back in stock! I love it atop a stack of books or hanging out on a bedside table. And I never tire of these pretty little matches!
My parents moved this campaign dresser (a favorite Craigslist find!) into my workspace to house some of the smaller items for the boutique. Functional and pretty makes me happy.
A few favorite baubles on my bathroom counter... Asha turquoise studs, Loren Hope earrings and necklace, Kenneth Jay Lane cocktail ring (similar), and Design Darling stripe bangle and tortoiseshell bangles.
I celebrated a friend's birthday brunch in my Zara peplum jacket, J.Crew signet ring (similar), tortoiseshell bangles (can you tell I never take them off?), and tortoiseshell cuff. Also can you believe there are less than 100 days until Christmas? I know I'm getting ahead of myself but stay tuned for lots of new arrivals (including gift cards, wooohooo!) as well as gift guides here on the blog. Every year I say I'll get my shopping finished early... ;)
