This past Saturday, I spent some time on a cloudy New York day to wander around SoHo, planning to pop into a few shops that we don't have at home (like Uniqlo + Topshop) to check them out before I leave next weekend.  Of course, I ended up "popping in" to a whole bunch of other stores - though I did refrain from even trying things on, considering I know I'll be right back in them on the other side on the country at some point next week.  However, I made note of lots of lovely lovely things that I want in my closet for this upcoming fall.  I'm thinking shift dresses, black and white, soft t-shirts, army green, chambray, boho dresses, fit+flare skirts, and graphic gold jewelry. 

Can't wait to go home and do some serious damage!!

P.S. I've been on the hunt for long time for a good knockoff Isbael Marant-style bootie that doesn't cost an arm and a leg and doesn't make me look like I have cankles (easier said than done - my ankles are not naturally slim).  These Mango booties, with their perfectly taupey suede, the slight stacked wood heel, and the perfect dip in the front that flatters the less-than-slim ankles, might be exactly what I've been looking for all my life. (AKA the last two seasons).
