I've probably posted some of these photos here before, a long time ago. They were all taken by my grandfather, he was always taking awesome pictures of pretty much everything. Today was his funeral and it was so sad! I could not stop crying. Afterwards at my grandma's house she showed us their wedding album, it was full of pictures of them getting married in the 1940s in the very same church that the funeral was just held today. Everything was sad but the part where you place a flower on the casket at the graveyard right before they lower it down, I think that was the saddest part. Anyways here are some of his awesome photos. The ones I scanned are mostly of my mom and aunt, they went camping a lot. The tenth photo down is of the first poodle I ever had, Leo. His poodle name was "Stormy Lane Summer Wine" which always fascinated me when I was little.

A Fall shop update! I think this is my favorite time of year to pick out clothes and shoes for the shop. I haven't been around here much lately, I guess a lot has been going on. I've been trying to decide if I should move or not, away from the city. I feel so confused about it though. New York is so expensive, it is really hard to live here as a single person, paying rent on an apartment by myself.  I have this dream of having a big garden and owning my own washing machine, those things are not possible here. On the other hand if I move to New England I am afraid of being totally isolated, I dont know anyone there hardly at all besides my family. Another con is that there are no restaurants out there, nothing besides weird chain restaurants in close proximity to malls. I could always just drive a couple of hours into the city for the day I suppose, it wouldn't be that far away. I know it wouldn't be the same though, I just really don't know what to do. It's so hard to even think about it! When I talk about it my friends eye me warily which stirs up more doubt. I guess I do know that I could always just move back if I don't like it. I have a lot of deciding to do. 

This is a post about stuff I really like for Fall. It's mostly all super expensive so I'm not exactly like rushing to the stores right now,  just admiring it all from afar. The current Tocca line is designed by Emma Fletcher, when I used to work at Barneys I would regularly stalk the Lyell rack to see what was new, it was magical to me. I'm way obsessed with the new Fall line, it is really beautiful. You can view the whole look book here.

Then there is this gorgeous sweater by Etoile Isabel Marant from Steven Alan which you can view here.

 This dress from the Fall Orla Kiely look book is so rad, I found this image here.

The Samantha Pleet for Wolverine collection, I am swooning over these two pairs the most. You can check them out here.

Liberty print plus a sweetheart neckline! This Chloe Sevigny dress is from here.

I am not usually a fan of American Apparel but this cable knit top is pretty cute.

And as for for some beauty products, I recently found this super cute Etsy shop called Marble and Milkweed, her products are really nicely made, simple and natural. You can visit this shop here.

 I just discovered this lipstick, Chanel Rouge Allure Velvet. Today is my birthday (I feel way old!) so I bought myself the color "La Ravissante." It is pretty fancy and super amazing. 

So that is all I can think of at the moment. Yeah, so it's my birthday! I spent the day with my friend Valerie, we went to my favorite restaurant ever which is on the upper east side, Candle Cafe. I just love that place. I never drink coffee but since today was special I got a mocha latte to go, it was this insane soy ice cream / chocolate / coffee drink, so delicious. The weather was so nice, we spent most of the day hanging out outside, it was great.

All new in the shop! Besides updating the shop I got some sad news today, my friend Bree is moving away! Far away, all the way to Canada. You may have seen her tumblr before, its really good, its called ###. I am so blue about it. I will miss her and her husband Pat so much, I just dont know where I will find new friends as cool as them. 

My friend Josh created this really cool iron-on patch, if you need a new patch for your jean jacket you can check it out here!

I will be selling  at this flea market this weekend, stop by and say hello!

(The Van-Onderdonk house is really cool, it is the oldest Dutch Colonial stone house in New York City, check it out here.)
