Autumn in New York...

Each time I have visited New York, it has always been in the spring. Don’t get me wrong, the spring is lovely in New York, cherry blossoms and all, but Autumn in the New York…. well that is something special to see.

I just returned from a visit to the stylish city and hung out with some of my favorite ladies and favorite places.....and as usual instagram documented it all.

 From left to right:

Insta-Life {summer edition} so far....

Just another round of recent musings captured through Instagram! 

The summer is definitely in full effect....

Summer nights, Arizona style...

The top goes down...

The red guts are exposed.

All day, everyday.

Ready for a dip.

It's not summer without indulging in your favorite flavor, mine is pistachio almond!

Summer evenings spent out on the baseball field, my little is #1.

My "it's already 102 degrees outside at 11:00am", Sunday morning brunch face.

French pancakes from La Grande Orange.

A new pair of summer sandals.

Sherbert colored tops and straw bags.

A night out on the town and a messy bedroom to boot.

Morning coffee in pretty cups.

My favorite summer snack, strawberries + sugar.

The projects that were supposed to get worked on this summer, it's a slow moving process...

The highlight of my summer trip to New York. It was so beautiful, I wanted to cry....

Insta-Life!

Just another peek into the current happenings of my life, through the eyes of none other than Instagram!

Pre-showtime drinks!

Proudly wearing my dancing shoes for a night of frolicking around with Edward Sharpe and the Magnetic Zeros!

A little spring gardening date with my Mom, I do well with succulents.

Food truck time.

A dweller of the desert. Can you believe it's already up to the late 90's here in Tucson, AZ. I have no problem wearing sandals!

Just a little kitchen shelving and painting project I started. Looking forward to the organization in my life.

Comes home from baseball practice and then whips out his guitar, what a stud.

The beautiful garden location for one of my recent style editorials.

Shoot day organization.

Sneakie peakie.

Another shooting day and my awesome, dedicated crew of talents. 

Taking a break at home with the hubby, then maybe a siesta.

It's that time of year again!

A car in the shop that I wish was in my possession.

Easter Sunday 2012.

Ready for a thrifting date with Mom.

A stop at the local Parisian Cafe.

Well lookie what I found thrifting! A WWII era occupied "Free France" silk scarf.

BIG

Big hair and a big bag is how I rolled today. I picked this darling dress out, when I was on vacation in Austin Texas, and it has turned out to be a favorite of mine. It's a sweet 1960s Lane label piece, with a brown, cream and black plaid pattern and a cute little neck tie attached to it.

I had a good hair day today, and I was pleasantly surprised with the wind capture in the photo.

A little catching up to do….

How are you my lovely blogger friends, I hope your new year is kicking off to a sweet start!

I have been out of the blog groove for a week or so, so today I spent some time catching up with all of my favorite reads and made some time for a quick catch-up post. My recent outfit of the day posts, care of the ever so handy Instagram application for the i-phone-genious! My style moods obviously ran wild and I changed things up quite a bit....

I recently re-discovered this cute argyle vest in the back of my closet (love it when that happens!)  I gave it a new life with this lovely yellow top I thrifted a few months back and my bright blue 1950s cigarette pants!

An equestrian feeling.....

brown tweed blazer: vintage

brown knit tie top blouse: thrifted

 jersey knit leggings: target {an updated comfortable alternative to jodphurs, for about town}

brown riding boots: vince camuto

A pair of loved and well broken in, red vintage cowboy boots. Comfortable, colorful and warm.

One of my favorite staples to "throw on"- the beret. Read all about this favorite little hat of mine in an article I wrote a while back for the Zocalo Magazine.
