Last week I re-made my Acorn bracelet as a Collection piece. You may remember I discontinued the costume/gold plated version. The bracelet turned out so cute in 14k gold filled. I am totally jealous that I had to send it off to the customer instead of keeping it for myself lol. I must re-do my original bracelet now. It just so pretty on the new parallel curb chain and with the softer gold stardust beads.


Yesterday I worked on some Peony twig earrings. Which reminded me how much I miss wearing my dark peony cashmere sweater. I wore the heck out of that thing last winter and believe it or not, it still looks decent.


Both of these designs with their deep colors and nature themes, got me eager for Fall. I am so over summer, already. Seems like we saw nothing but washed out colors the whole season. While pale neutrals certainly have their place, an over abundance of them leaves me very blah. The only thing that is even tempting me from JC’s current offerings is the Warm shell silk linen sweater jacket and unlike the J.Crew styling, I don’t wear sweater jackets with shorts (what’s up with that anyway?). So, I think I can wait a bit for that one.

I took another peek at our J.Crew fall preview and while I am still not digging the furry jacket, I can’t wait for the first Fall roll out Aug 2nd. I am loving the tee in pic #1 and the jacket in #2. Although the overall looks are still too bland for my taste. They need a pop of color.




I’m sure there are loads of cute pieces coming our way. I think J.Crew really does Fall best. I am completely in love with the camel pants, striped top, and scarf look above. I think my Acorn bracelet is going to look fab with that outfit. Must have it!
Unfortunately, I still have not received my Fall look book. I’m getting quite grumbly about that!

What do you think? Are you still shopping for summer? Are planning out your Fall wardrobe yet?
