Plunge Into Sublime Seas
I've had these shoes for years now, but I don't wear them much because they're like little straightjackets for your feet. The ideal style for your feet is bare; I don't even want to wander around my house in socks. But since that's usually rather unrealistic, we must don shoes; even so shouldn't we be able to escape these shoes in a timely manner? I like to think so. Still, I'm a sucker for these lace-ups because really anything that seems ballet inspired is aesthetic perfection.

Into The Wild
This lookbook by the Herschel Supply Co is a little more rugged and tomboyish than my personal style, but it certainly makes me want to put on some sensible boots and wander through woods and along rugged shores with someone tall, dark, and handsome...herschel supply lookbook

Traveling Down The Tracks
The shirt and pants felt very Funny Face to me (in the beginning before Audrey is transformed from beatnik to model), but that whole silhouette and feel ended up getting drowned in knits--which isn't a bad way to go, if you think about it. I've really been forcing myself to wear more pants this fall. It's funny how quietly restricting dresses and skirts can be and I never notice until I put on pants or shorts again. I have a friend who claims she can't wear dresses because her body is almost constantly in a comfortable sprawl that would be rather exposing if she was wearing dresses. I don't even notice the way I cross my legs when sitting, or how I'll casually brush my hand against my skirt while walking to make certain it isn't riding up--it all comes naturally at this point. Then I put on a pair of pants and suddenly I feel like I should be climbing over fences (although climbing a fence is how I ripped my favorite pair of jeans--be wary of stray wires with pointy ends)...

See The Sunlight Admist The Mountains
These head-to-toe outfits aren't exactly my cup of tea, but I love the relaxed and rugged vibe from Cardigan's fall lookbook. I admire camping much more in photographs than reality. Their sweaters are certainly covetable though and would translate nicely into every day outfits.cardigan fall 2011 lookbook

Old Haunts
I paid a visit to the old base where I lived until this summer, so I naturally had to take a few pictures in the moat wall. The base has gotten even quieter than it was before, looking quite like a ghost town now and I was able to wander through all my old haunts completely undisturbed. It was such a fascinating and pretty place to live I'm rather sad I had to move, but I'm still close enough that I can venture back whenever I feel the need for a change of pace.

The Waves Of Fashion And Latest Novelties
The sun was warm, but you could feel fall's chill in the sand and water. Even though our days remain clear and bright, the nights and mornings grow ever colder. This will probably be the last time this year to visit the beach with bare legs and chase the surf. This lightweight and prettily embroidered dress is certainly better suited for summer days.
