 Happy Valentine's Day!

“I love the Autumn, And yet I cannot say All the thoughts and things That make me feel this way. I love walking on the angry shore, To watch the angry sea; Where summer people were before, But now there's only me. I love wood fires at night That have a ruddy glow. I stare at the flames And think of long ago. I love the feeling down inside me That says to run away To come and be a gypsy And laugh the gypsy way. The tangy taste of apples, The snowy mist at morn, The wanderlust inside you When you hear the huntsman's horn. Nostalgia - that's the Autumn, Dreaming through September Just a million lovely things I always will remember.”

Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis

“I don't understand how a woman can leave the house without fixing herself up a little - if only out of politeness. And then, you never know, maybe that's the day she has a date with destiny. And it's best to be as pretty as possible for destiny.”

Winter White- Steer away from your darks this autumn by embracing this light trend, but make sure your whites are seasonable and appropriate. Try a cozy knit, or a jean jacket and break free from the rules by keeping your white jeans out this fall. White is no longer for the summer only; designers such as Derek Lam, Proenza Schouler, and Tommy Hilfiger brought white into their Fall ’13 lines.Embrace this wearable trend by layering head to toe whites for a chic, easy to assemble (at any price) look.

Leather Leather has always found its way onto the runway but this fall, its as versatile as denim and appeared in everything from skirts, shirts, pants, jackets and dresses. We challenge you to rethink your leather pieces this season by adding some colored leather, adding a punk twist and embracing your inner rebel. This trend rocked the runways of Lacoste, Donna Karen, Rodarte and Calvin Klein. Leather can fit any look, sporty, edgy, or feminine depending on how its styled. Try something new this fall with leather bottoms or leather shirts. But don’t get rid of that leather coat just yet, it will serve as an essential for autumn nights.
