I love the transition my wardrobe makes in-between summer (which lasted much longer than I would have liked this year) and my favorite season, autumn. Everything gets a little cozier in the fall and, since I'm no longer confined to sandals, I'm able to have so much more fun with shoes! Off Broadway was incredibly generous and allowed me to style four of my favorite trends for the season and where better to start than the ankle boot?

I usually rock ankle boots all year long because they look amazing with just about every outfit in my closet. Skinny jeans? Perfect. A sun dress? Awesome! Ankle boots instantly lend a little casual edge and cool-girl style to everything and I'm practically smitten these days.

I want to know, what's your favorite way to wear ankle boots?

Happy Friday friends! This week started out a little stormy (literally... we spent Monday waiting out the tornado sirens) but things quickly improved. We're finally feeling at home in our routine again and have been working on fun projects left and right. This week included a couple of fall crafts,  some exploring and tonight we have plans to attend an outdoor concert with our little tribe of friends. Don't forget to sneak in a little extra Fall this weekend, we're halfway through one of the best months of the year!

Here's what I loved reading this week:

Denise Bovee's beautiful family via Zara
a tour of Nili Lotan's studio on the J.Crew blog
Treasure & Travels decorates their studio for fall
an interview with Free People's stylist of the week and one of my favorite daily reads, New Darlings
& a little reminder to "not give a shit"

Today I'm appearing on my good friend Sara's blog, A Dose of Pretty. When Sara approached me to participate in her "Mommies Behind the Blog" series I was flattered. A longtime fan of the feature, I've taken so much inspiration and reassurance from other creative mommas and their unique stories. Whats more, the post finally gave me an excuse to play dress up in a giant dreamy cotton field (be still my styling heart!) with Lorelai. It's such a blessing to capture Lo as she is during this fun and special age of three!

A huge thank you to Sara for having me on her truly beautiful site! To read about motherhood, life and the future of Chelsea & The City, please check out the interview here.
