thinking of fall: rachel comey

Boatneck swing pullover, La Garconne

Dahlia dress, La Garconne

Cabot coat, La Garconne

rachel comey's coats never disappoint. i always love the deep forest greens and aubergines of fall, and the loose easy shapes of her fall-winter collection are just what i'm looking for. also on my radar for fall--pip-squeak chapeau.

Rachel Comey dinner pants in peony print

Suno dress

Suno dress

the rachel comey silk dinner pants fit beautifully and are as comfortable as pajamas. i paired it with a T by Alexander Wang top. it's better to go with a really lightweight fabric, especially if you're tucking it in. i tried on a small, but would be more comfortable in a medium. the elastic waistband is forgiving, though.

although i love pretty much everything from rachel comey's fall collection, suno was the standout label for me. the fabric is just heavy enough to drape beautifully. the prints are so stunning, too. the dresses are $500-600, so not exactly peanuts. i'm leaning toward the blue and red print dress, which is so slouchy and easy to wear.

i also tried on the rachel comey ruse dress, which is surprisingly comfortable for such an elegant dress, and the gary graham wrap cardigan, which can be worn a million ways and is like wearing a duvet--but nicer, of course.

first day of class. i'll start teaching in a week, so for now i get to sit and take notes.

i'm trying to figure my way to a more grown-up wardrobe for teaching while still retaining a sense of me (comfort, comfort, comfort). i desperately need new shoes and a backpack. a blazer would be lovely, as would a pair or two of trousers. and pretty much everything in rachel comey's fall collection.

rachel comey fall

saw this rachel comey dealer top on frances may's blog the other day. the print and bands of grey create such an interesting optical effect, but the little details are what get me every time. in this case, the pleats in the back.

habitat shoes...bensimon, rachel comey, frye, et al.

habitat shoes is having a buy one, get the second pair half off until may 9 ("momrocks").
i wish i hadn't bought my lace-up bensimons yesterday!

paris

renee has been posting photos of her honeymoon in paris. i know exactly where i want to be right now....tsumori chisato, isabel marant, and pain au chocolat.

sorry for the lack of posts. it's been tough these past few weeks getting the place ready to sell, and now we spend our days cleaning and waiting. as a treat, i've been buying flowers every few days to brighten up the place.

dreaming of rachel comey shoes, which are very soft but still too narrow.

i can't decide if i want these or not. knowing my history with rachel comey shoes, they probably wouldn't be the most comfortable pair for me. but i just can't stop myself from looking!
