October | 2015 | Today, I wore black.

Earlier this month, I was raving about the Margaux flats. But the temperatures have since dropped and we have now officially entered boot season – which brings me to the newest item on my wish list: the Lowland boot by Stuart Weitzman.

Lowland – Stuart Weitzman

I own the 5050 boot in black Napa and really thought that they were perfection – great with dresses, skirts, skinny jeans and leggings – until I saw the Lowland. It could have to do with its almond toe-shape or its back tie. It could also simply have to do with the fact that I don’t own a pair. Yet. In any case, I’m getting more and more obsessed with the Lowland and I’m (not-so) secretly trying to find a way to destroy/lose/give away my 5050 so I can have a reason to purchase them…

As for you, I strongly suggested that you take a look at Stuart Weitzman’s Fall Boot Guide: it’ll definitely make you appreciate – if not look forward to October and November.

Oh, by the way, deep down inside I really want these boots:

But nothing about them say “Hi! I’m your kid’s French teacher.” Nothing.

Happy shopping everyone!

It looks like the Banana Republic’s Spring 2016 Ready-to-Wear collection was Marissa Webb’s swan song, as it was announced today that she will no longer be their creative director. It’s quite a sad new because she had managed to push Banana Republic – a store that was synonymous with entry-level suits – in a fresher, more contemporary direction, all the while retaining its understated, clean look.

Rumors has it that Gap Inc has chosen to replace Webb, not by a single person but rather by design team – just as they did Gap. My only hope is that going that route will have better consequences on the esthetics of Banana Republic’s future collections than it has had on Gap’s latest collections…

Regardless, at least I have these pieces to look forward to:
