Lily + Jae Autumn/Winter 2010

I recently came across Lily + Jae's Autumn/Winter 2010 life style shots online and think it is pretty fantastic. The outerwear is perfect for the chilly weather ahead. There was frost on my windshield the other morning and its pretty safe to say that Winter is on its way. Yikes. Regardless, I figured it would be fun to share these pretty photos and almost cannot wait to tromp through snowy fields.

Runaway Train

I have heard that 'Runaway train never coming back, runaway on a one-way track....' song like twice in the past two days and yes you're welcome! I just got it stuck in your head right? Well, why exactly is this relevant? Because Anja from Clever Nettle posted these pics of the Ralph Lauren Line “New American Traditional” clothing recently. The editorial was featured in the April issue of Fudge Magazine and let me tell you I just adore them, I've been feeling particularly itchy to hop on a one-way train to anywhere, just to mix it up a little. If I were to hitch a ride, oh you could bet I would wear these clothes! The mix of masculine and feminine old-school Americana vintage is fantastic!

No more teacher's dirty looks

Yeah so what if it's going to hit 90 degrees later this week? All I know is that I better look like this girl from Keller's Fall 2010 Lookbook come this Fall.

Jill of all Trades

This girl can literally do it all. Alexa Chung you are my hero. I think I could literally gush about Alexa Chung for Madewell Fall 2010 for hours. It is so sweet and romantic with the perfect amount of tomboy. I am sligtly reminiscent of my childhood with the most adorable Osh Kosh B'gosh overalls made for big girls. ( I think I am most excited for the overall dresses, they are so comfy!). The highwaisted jeans need to be in my closet right this moment! I am so over my butt crack hanging out when I wear jeans!

And the shooooooes. They are all so perfect. And its settled, I'm wearing my gray knit socks today!
As far as pricing goes, I'm familiar with Madewell's crazy idea of how much clothing should cost. I was in a store a mere week ago and found myself ooggling over a pair of shoes for $150 and a mini skirt, which was probably less than a yard of fabric for $80. Luckily these items look easily thriftable. Salvation Army, here I come! Somebody point me in the direction of the Osh Kosh B'gosh!

In-spring-ational

Since the northeast is anticipating a MAJOR snowstorm today, I feel it is only appropriate to go fake Springtime shopping online. Two designers who have been really influencing my Springtime looks are A.P.C. and Orla Kiely SS2010(Yes I am aware that these two designers have been blogged and blogged about. I don't care, I also think they're fantastic.).

A.P.C is perfectly pulling off a seventies vibe which is making me want to trade in my skinny jeans for bell-bottoms and my flats for some clunky clogs.

Orla Keily SS 2010 has this simple vintage thing going on which I am loving. These mint green hues make me want to just frolic in fields of dandelions. By the way, I love how the last girl's skirt clearly looks like she is one of the Von Trapp children with her skirt made out of curtain! I want one!

Sorry to torture you all, I just needed a little escape! For all of you who are about to get snowed in, or for those of you who already are...stay warm and drink some hot cocoa with fluff! I know I will! Cheers!
