Sweater Weather

There is a real chill in the air in New York now.  Time to finally pull the sweaters out of the closet.  I love how everything comes alive in the spring but autumn is definitely this city's best season. It's also nice not to be sweating the minute you step out the door and the good hair weather makes every woman happy, and probably a lot of men too. Make sure you get out and enjoy it while it lasts. I'm sure we'll be complaining about winter before you know it.

Ode to Autumn

Harper's Bazaar Executive Editor Laura Brown tweeted yesterday, "Summer, I moved on emotionally weeks ago." I couldn't agree more.  I'm ready for crisp, cool weather, cashmere sweaters, and changing leaves. Let's be clear, I am not ready for winter.  Even though my grey mink coat makes it slightly more bearable, it is not fun.  But I digress. I know many of you feel the same way so here's a little inspiration to get us all in the mood. 

By all these lovely tokens
September days are here,
With summer’s best of weather
And autumn’s best of cheer.
