its coming.

oh blessed be that very first day when you can walk to class without the texas sunshine beating the l i v i n ‘ daylights out of you, that first day when the crisp, cool nostalgic breeze brings to mind the memories of rusty leaves and worn in cords, that first day when you detect that slightest suggestion that autumn is on its way, when you walk outta CVS with a thick, fat September issue of Vogue, clutching it to your torso so as not to let the brilliant bright pages of fab fall fashion slip out and blow away in the blustery breeze–

i love fall.

clearly.

a few days ago, Austin was graced with a cold front. thats right my friends, today is a high of 95, low of 65; Im sitting outside right now in sub-zero temperatures at approximately 87 degrees. So if you ever doubted my love for you, think of the wind chill and frost bitten appendages I am suffering through to draft this post.

every year about this time, I am infected with an unmitigated itch for fall ready to wear. And believe you me, I am ready to wear riding boots, ready to embrace cashmere like a long lost sister, and ready to encase adorable outfits in equally  adorable outerwear.

I mean, I want to go to an office supply store and buy an economy sized pack of yellow number 2 pencils! And I feel this irrepressible need to order a powerful cup of joe at the local coffee shop with all the hipsters and construct some kind of diagram or read my man James Joyce. 

To conlcude, I’m super ready to go to school and get good grades.

mom, dad, santa are you reading?

And its all thanks to this incredible weather!

so in the spirit of the first day of fall, I give you….

my fall wish list*

*mind you, this is more like a ifiwonthelotteryfivetimes/gettinganyoneoftheseitemsisaboutaslikelyasfinidingaunicorn** kind of wishlist.

**for the record, I still have my fingers crossed about that unicorn. and also Hogwarts for that matter.

hello there, you incredbile, reality defying Gucci dress.

what is up, you sumptious, supple sensational boots – fyi I’ve been admiring you from afar for a while now…. perhaps this christmas is the  christmas.

(mom/dad I hope you’re reading this..)

and what is this? only the most gorgeous coat I have yet to encounter (excepting, of course my princess coat/prized possession at age 12 - similar to this).

 oh to wrap myself up in its sweet, golden (literally, figuratively, etc) embrace would be a toasty, cozy heaven in a field of marigolds. 

god bless you, ms. sander. 

woah nellie.

ahh Celine, why do you continue to tease me with your wildly over-priced, yet still entirely covetable, practically necessary luxury items? (Classic Medium Flap Bag in Box Lagoon, im talkin to YOU!)
