The title of this post derives from a pair of T-strap sandals from Seychelles. They were ivory in color and it was the first time I saw something online that I wanted to buy and just wasn’t able to. They just did not have them in a size 6…anywhere. Believe me, I looked. I went so far as to even email customer service at Seychelles and they didn’t have them. I was thinking about that very pair of shoes the last few days while online browsing (at work) recently. The shoes remind me of Fall and despite it still being very warm here in Santa Barbara, I’m already excited for Fall and all that it entails. Cooler weather, darker nail polish, wool coats, and hot chocolate. I drink tea almost daily, but hot chocolate feels right only when it’s cold. I also get paid next week and right on schedule, I’m already mentally spending it. Below are a few things that have caught my eye.
top row l-r: kate moss for mango jacket. chanel nail polish. looks from mango’s 2012 fall catalog.
second row l-r: monogrammed tea cups, anthropologie. sequined peter pan collars, H&M fall 2012. proenza schouler ps1 bag.
third row: boots and coat collars, mango’s fall 2012 lookbook. trumpet glass candle holder, c.wonder. sofia coppola for louis vuitton bag in calf leather.
bottom row l-r: kate iphone case in ivory, tipilly. sweater, mango 2012. deborah lipmann nail polish in billionaire.
I actually bought the monogrammed cup from Anthro for my friend Karen’s birthday (“K” of course). They really are adorable and a steal at $6! And as much as I want to start painting my nails in deep burgundies and autumn colors, I think I’m going to get as much mileage out of the sea greens and bright blues I bought for summer.
