Transition to Fall

As we make the transition towards fall, all I can think about is the crisp air, cozy sweaters, and a warm cup of coffee in hand (preferably while perusing a bookstore or antique shop). 

These are the classic essentials that are on my radar for fall: 

a cozy cable knit sweater, a favorite pair of jeans, a chic hat to hide the lazy hair days (we all have them!), a comfortable pair of boots, and a classic black leather strap timepiece and handbag. Can we just talk about this manhattan zip code scarf? And don’t you just love the juxtaposition of these fabulous earrings with said leather baseball cap? Certainly tomboy chic, no?

Baseball Mom

This style board was extra special for me to put together, due to my life connection with baseball. I wear many hats, baseball mom is one of them, (read below if you are interested to know the details...)

So, this is a version of the baseball uniform and essentials that often visit the park with me to my son's games, but you definitely don't have to be a baseball mom to wear this look. It's just one of those great all around classic style looks, for those days when you just feel like being casually tomboy chic. Oh, and I wouldn't mind having that Coach  baseball glove to play catch with at all!

Some Fun Facts:

1. I grew up listening to baseball games on the radio with my grandpa, so this pastime is pretty close to home for me. 

2. I have been a legit baseball mom for almost ten years now, since my son was a tee-baller. He is now a Little League Major, All-Star 2nd basemen (time flies).

3. I will gladly kick my heels off and put a baseball glove on to play catch with my son (you better believe I know how to throw a baseball).

4.The Sandlot is still one of our favorite family movies to cuddle up with and watch, we have been indulging in this tradition since my son was three years old (you are never to old to cuddle with your mom).

5.There is no crying in baseball!

a holiday wish list

Ahhh... It is nice to sit down with a cup of tea, relax, and check in with you all. Over the last week I had many projects brewing that kept me away from my computer. I needed to take a little break and stay heavily focused. Needless to say, I have returned with a holiday wishlist of things I now have my eye on! Isn’t the collar on that vivetta top just delicious?

ten timeless coats

Investing in a good coat is something every lady must do! I must admit, coats are a bit of a fixation of mine. I start longing to wear them right about August, (totally inappropriate for my homeland of Arizona).  I just love the cozy feeling of bundling up under a coat and sipping on a cup of joe; while headed out for a day of treasure hunting or book store hopping. Not to mention, in a hurry, if you have the right coat on, it can just pull everything together beautifully (instant gratification!). Sometimes, it doesn’t even matter what you are wearing underneath. Vintage coats are a lovely staple, unique and fun to add to a growing collection, plus they are still very easy to find in good condition. However, if you are looking to invest in a new coat with vintage appeal, here are ten chic and timeless coats that I have had my eye on this fall!
