Fall Dreaming

The fast approaching fall means that it's almost time for Fui and I to head back to New York and begin our new school term. Fui's a rising sophomore while I'm a rising junior. Heading back to New York also means that it's time to update my wardrobe for the cooler months. Here's what I currently have my eye on.-Hairin

1. Flat ankle boots like these from Chanel, Alaia, Frye and Dillard's for everyday use.

2. A pair of heeled boots like these from Sergio Rossi x Puma. Or this pair of Chloe Silverado wedges that I've been relentlessly searching for online in a size 40.5 since last year when I passed them up 3 years ago. Never again.

3. Dark straight-legged jeans are an essential for school. I tried on a brilliant pair from ksubi at Inhabit yesterday which I may go buy this weekend. These are from Earnest Sewn and Current/Elliot which would also work as well.

4. A fitted black dress from either Alex Wang or Herve Leger. Alexa Chung also pulled off this Lover dress with aplomb during her show this week.

5. More tee shirts for school from wherever really, but those from T by Alex Wang, Kain or AA would always work

6. I'm also looking for a new bag. I'm flirting with the idea of a new Balenciaga in black or a brown one with giant gold studs but I also currently the look of this distressed Donna hobo from Alex Wang. This Prada bag from last fall would also take any basic outfit up a notch and Sofia Coppola's Speedy for Louis Vuitton is practical and understated. Nothing really stops my heart yet though.
