Inspiration: 10/25 Halloween & Contrast

What to Wear: Pumpkin Carving or Apple Picking

As fall seems to be parting with us quickly after its short visit, we must soak the weather up now when we can and enjoy those classic autumn activities we so cherish in New England. Though I didn't make it out apple picking this year, I'm happy to say that I am definitely getting a pumpkin this weekend and am actually looking forward more walking around the farm to the choosing of the pumpkin, than the carving of it. I want my clothing to be warm, functional, and festive, but better-yet: fall-fabulous.

1. ASOS Sweatshirt with Ghost Print - $44
2. Frye Sabrina 6g Lace Up - $248
3. Free People Printed Cord Skinny - $78
4. ASOS Ribbon Mixed Knit Snood - $44

5. Free People Knit Hooded Twill Jacket - $168
6. Urban Outfitters Furry Leather Fingerless Gloves - $29

Personally, I've been super stoked about these Sabrina Lace Up Fryes for fall since I saw them recently - they have a heel to set them apart from the countless (and amazing) Timbs I have, yet a rubber bottom to be practical in Vermont fall through spring.

What's your wishlist fall necessity?

A Trip to Montreal

Montreal was beautiful with October foliage, our hotel room was amazing, my first gin & tonic at a bar was delicious, and I only wish we had had more time to wander the city! One day is definitely not long enough to explore Montreal, but the short time we had there was wonderful.

Dog for Designer - Golden Retrievers

Being the forth most popular dog in the United States, the Golden Retriever is common to find walking on the street - and for good reason. The canine's reliability, kindness, loyalty and happiness gives it the All-American, L.L. Bean title. Not only do Golden owners find that their pets are easy to train and impossible to disappoint, but somewhere along the way they become Golden Retriever owners forever. The Goldens' attitude and reputation undeniably honor them the Tommy Hilfiger title. Creating lifetime consumers with their preppy, American, and simple demeanor Golden Retrievers have found their designer soul mate.

Admittedly I am totally more excited for spring styles than  fall in light of Paris Fashion Week and in wake of NYFW, MFW, and LFW; however, we must bring our heads back to the season we are actually entering. Scouring Fall 2012 RTW collections, Proenza Schouler sparked my interest with this '90s-meets-the-East collection. Jack McCollough and Lazaro Hernandez's Himalayan vacation clearly inspired the protective shapes and crisp design of the pieces. Their journey takes us through casual cotton miniskirts and over-sized tops to samurai fighter-esque quilted  biker jackets and leather to formal and delicately silk pieces embroidered landscapes, peacocks, and pheasants and obi belts. Personally, I am now obsessed with quilted fabric and over-sized sweaters with miniskirts (probably paired with some sweater tights) this fall.

What inspiration do you take from Proenza Schouler's collection into this fall?
