New England gave us the nicest gift this weekend, 86 degrees in October. And even better that this year’s indian summer fell on Columbus Day weekend!
Did anyone else get to experience weirdly warm weather this week?

I am so excited about this week’s Friday’s Francies theme since blazers are my favorite fall pieces [good choice {av}!]. I especially love the look of boyfriend blazers (like this one from Jack Wills), because they have a bit more of a laid-back feeling but are still chic and professional. J Crew also has some in a ton of cute colors this season… loving this pink one!
Only problem I have with blazers is there gets to be a time in New England’s fall–>winter when they are not enough of a jacket, but also feel too bulky under anything else! How do you all do with wearing them under coats? Or do you just layer under the blazer to stay warm?
Renshaw Boyfriend Blazer, Jack Wills, £229
Accordion Pleat Chiffon Skirt, Forever 21, $15.80
Aoxi Heeled Oxfords, Anthropologie, $198
Bloomfield Headband, Jack Wills, £19
Mod in Mauve Clutch, ModCloth, $50 (sale!)
All Wrapped Up Pearl Earrings, Kate Spade New York, $68
Snake Chain Bracelet, J Crew, $58
Hang in There Glasses Pendant Necklace, Kate Spade New York, $148
Happy weekend everyone!! xxÂ

I’d just like to take a moment first to recognize Steve Jobs. The world lost an amazing person and incredible visionary yesterday. I was more shocked and saddened to hear about his death than any other celebrity we have lost over the past few years. But I’m going to continue with today’s post as normal, because I’m writing it on an Apple computer. Because I edited the picture with iPhoto. Because I’m listening to iTunes through this all. I can do all of that because of Steve Jobs. And I thank him for that. Rest in peace.
Awkward:
-I have somehow convinced myself that my life resembles many Taylor Swift and/or Backstreet Boys songs (yeah still listening to that playlist..).
-My friend and I thought we were so classy wearing blazers to this casual after-work bar last weekend…until we ended up at a club immediately after…Â aka wrong attire.
-Businesses that are cash only!! It is so awkward to pull out your card and have the cashier give you the “no, we only take cash.” And this really bothers me. And I am totally a new-age brat for admitting that.
-Saw my ex-boyfriend’s father this weekend. He didn’t remember me. Great.
Awesome:
-Had a dream this week that John Krasinski totally wanted me and we were running off to London together. I think I’ve watched Something Borrowed a few too many times.
-I’m dancing again. And it feels so. dang. good.
-My company worked on a holiday routine last night… which meant lots of Christmas music… which I thought would make me throw up. But I actually got super crazy excited 🙂
-Sassy Girl Book Club tonight!!
–These statements.
Today is the 50th anniversary of my favorite classic movie, Breakfast at Tiffany’s. I don’t remember how old I was when I first watched Holly Golightly stroll down 5th Avenue with her pastry (the taste of which Audrey actually hated!), but I do know she has been my style icon ever since.
Hope everyone is rocking their LBDs in this film’s honor today!!

One great thing about postgrad life is I finally have a little more time for TV. Pretty sure for the last four years all I watched was Gossip Girl, plus Lost reruns over winter and summer breaks. But now with no homework, no meetings, and no fewer rehearsals, I have some weeknights back. And the show I took on: New Girl!
I’ve always loved Zooey Deschanel, and as much as I hate to admit it, I see myself relating an eensy bitsy bit (ok a lot) to her character here. So, what task to take on but to channel her style?
Sweater, J Crew
Pleated skirt, &M
Tights, Express
Ballet flats, Steve Madden
How’d I do? Do you watch New Girl?

Linking up with the loveliest {av} again for my second Friday’s Fancies!
This week’s theme: Crazy about Boots…
Halima Riding Boot, Lauren by Ralph Lauren, originally $198
Tangerine Flicker Dress, Anthropologie, $358
Deux Lux Snake Chain Crossbody Bag, Urban Outfitters, $49
Jezebel Bronze Butterfly Necklace, CatBird, $220 (fifty percent of proceeds go to charity)
Poly Canvas Bow Hair Clip, American Apparel, $14
I cannot get this burnt orange color out of my head this fall! I’ve never craved orange, but lately I can’t get enough of it. I actually own those Lauren by Ralph Lauren boots (and I am crazy about them– took me forever to find the perfect pair but I finally did last winter), and I love pairing them with this tangerine shade.
And in the spirit of this beautiful pair of brown and orange, check out this photo my godmother snapped from her back porch of a sunrise this week:
Happy Friday everyone! Have a lovely fall weekend!
