favorite fall things!

In commemoration of the Autumnal Equinox, I present to you my favorite things about fall. Admittedly, the end of summer and those wonderful warm nights is all kinds of depressing. No longer can you get away with a cute summer dress and sandals for a day out. It means the end of lazy days...back to work, back to school, and getting serious.

But it's not all doom and gloom for the next 7 or so months! You get so many of those bright, sunny days that aren't blazing hot towards the beginning of autumn. The fall foliage is truly something to be seen (we're determined to get to Central Park while the leaves are still beautiful). And what's better than sleeping with the windows open and a slight chill in the air!

And now, on with the fall faves!

Thanksgiving dinner. Mmm trytophan. Comfort foods in all their glory...sweet potatoes, turkey, gravy, stuffing. Followed up with a nap and football. Yum!


Pumpkin. This really signals fall for me. Pumpkin lattes, pumpkin pie, pumpkin-laced green monsters, pumpkin butter, pumpkin ice cream. I love it all!


College Football! Watching the games takes me back to those amazing Saturdays, surrounded by thousands of fans, or tailgating in front of the stadium. This year is shaping up to be an exciting season!


Fall Fashion! Blazers, scarves, boots, tights, texture...layers, layers, layers. I love it all! Unlike winter, during which most NYC gals are swathed in huge, down, black parkas...you can still look super stylish and chic during fall. Here are some inspiration pics from a recent piece in Page Six Mag:
