Sweater Weather

This weekend we're supposed to have cool, fall weather, and when that happens my first thought always turns towards a great fall sweater. Here are some of the sweaters I am lusting over this fall.

The color, buttons, and elbow patches on this sweater are perfect for work or weekends!

I love this season's trend of maxi cardigans - and this Free People one is amazing!
(found here) (or Get the Look for Less here!)
This Rag and Bone 'Columbia' Cardigan is a great take on the classic school sweater, with a more gown-up feel to it.

Diane von Furstenberg has proven to me once again with this sweater that she can do no wrong.

And the sweater that I have been dreaming about for months...

How fun and dramatic is this!?!?! I would live in it - I might just have to give in already.

Do you have a favorite go-to fall sweater?

NYC Weekends

It has been a very busy summer and I have been traveling a lot, so I have not spent a weekend in the city in a long time. Although I love going to NJ to see my family, it was nice to spend some time at home and do some things around the city. I hope you all had lovely weekends too.

Friday after work I got a drink with some coworkers at the Mermaid Oyster Bar. I have wanted to try this place out for a while - the ambience was so cute and the food and drinks were amazing. I had the Mermaid Mary (bloody mary with old bay) and the Lobster & Truffle Mac and Cheese - if you're in the Village you have to try it!
On Saturday night we took in the views of the city...The Empire State Building
and the 9/11 Tribute in Light on the eve of the 10 year anniversary. (It's not the best picture, but it
was hard to capture on my iphone - as I did not have my camera with me).
On Sunday, Nic and I got brunch at our favorite place in the neighborhood, Uptown, to celebrate 23 months of dating (I celebrate every milestone). I had their amazing banana brioche french toast and of course a mimosa!

 Happy Monday Lovelies!

Home Office

Happy Friday lovelies! I live in an apartment in Manhattan which has always been a dream of mine - the only downside - so little space. Lately I've been dreaming of what a luxury it would be to have room for a beautiful home office such as one of these...

Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week - Spring 2012

Welcome to the start of Fashion Week lovelies! This is one of the most exciting weeks in NYC.  I love watching all of the beautiful, inspiring clothing coming down the runway. Unfortunately I'm not going to be able to watch the live streams of the shows today as I have a big work event, but I can't wait to look tonight and see what BCBGMAXAZRIA, Porter Grey, Tadashi Shoji, and others had to show! Follow their shows today and others all week here!

For those of you in the city and not working tomorrow night check out Fashion's Night Out!
