Autumn Inspiration

The weather in New York has turned from summer to autumn overnight.  Unfortunately, it's not the sunny and warm autumn that I was dreaming about but a cold and damp one.  I hope it clears up soon so I can wear all my new clothes without covering them up with a trench.  It's definitely making it difficult to plan outfits for fashion week. I'm also thinking about any changes I can make to my new apartment to prepare for the change of season.  If you're in need of wardrobe or home inspiration for autumn, hopefully this post will give you some ideas.

Photos: Many of the design photos were found on tumblr without credits or The Life of Polarn Per.  Most of the fashion street images are by Tommy Ton.  The rest are unknown.

Beautiful Backdrop

I thought the house in the Upstairs Downstairs feature in the September issue of Harper's Bazaar looked familiar. Turns out it's Chateau de Groussay that I posted about here and here.  As I've stated before, I love fashion shoots that are shot in beautiful homes and this one includes a few rooms that I've never seen before.  Besides the gorgeous gowns, I'm now dreaming about those red upholstered French chairs and that blue settee.  What was most exciting besides the house is that it was photographed by Karl Lagerfeld.  I can only imagine the glamour factor on set the day of the shoot. More importantly, I wonder if Karl needs a photo assistant.
