Autumn in New York

Autumn in New York
Why does it seem so inviting?
Autumn in New York
It spells the thrill of first-nighting

Glittering crowds and shimmering clouds
In canyons of steel
They're making me feel
I'm home

It's autumn in New York
That brings the promise of new love
Autumn in New York
Is often mingled with pain

Dreamers with empty hands
May sigh for exotic lands
It's autumn in New York
It's good to live it again

Lovers that bless the dark
On benches in Central Park
It's autumn in New York
It's good to live it again

Styled to Perfection

One of my readers asked me where to find the ivory cableknit sweater in my November post and I realized that I forgot to credit Emeron Fry. While I on their site looking for the link to send her, I noticed some lovely new images for fall/winter 2013. As you know, I love fashion shoots styled in interesting interiors and it makes me wonder if this is Emerson's own home.  The best creative people are those who are creative in every part of their life and it's clear why Emerson Fry is so chic.

The Windmills of Your Mind

The 1968 version of The Thomas Crown Affair was on TCM last night.  I always think of the theme song The Windmills of Your Mind every fall. I wish it looked a bit more like autumn in New York.  The leaves turn so late here but I know the wait will be worth it.  Until then, I'll make do with these online images. 

Why did summer go so quickly
Was it something that I said
Lovers walking along the shore
Leave their footprints in the sand
Was the sound of distant drumming
Just the fingers of your hand
Pictures hanging in a hallway
And a fragment of this song
Half remembered names and faces
But to whom do they belong
When you knew that it was over
Were you suddenly aware
That the autumn leaves were turning
To the color of her hair

- The Windmills of Your Mind

Grey Days

As soon as the weather turns grey and chilly like today, I start pulling out my grey clothes.  It's become my go since it's less harsh than black and is the perfect complement to my hair color. As we know, it's also a popular choice of paint color and plays well with almost every other color. I'm especially loving grey kitchens but as much as love the color, I hope the sun comes back out soon. Enjoy.
