Just as the West Coast is finally getting a real taste of summer, the rain has rolled in here on the East Coast. The temperatures have dropped a bit and it feels like fall. I’m ready for warmer clothes.
It’s almost as if the fog has rolled in, and suddenly, I find myself longing for a trip to England.
Walking around old parts of London, grabbing a cup of tea in the middle of the afternoon, people watching, and running in the rain (I hear they have lots of rain there)…
I would bring skirts and dresses into the fall by adding tights and boots.
And scarves. I started wearing one regularly after being advised to do so by Miss Hannah, my high school voice teacher. It was better for the voice and helped prevent illness, she claimed. Miss Hannah had a cute English accent and a lightness about her that I looked forward to every week, and she spoke about England like it was some utterly charming place.
Don’t you suddenly want to spend a week or two (or several) in foggy England?

Am there right now! And yes, it does rain a lot. Even in the summer. The other afternoon I was walking down Oxford Street and got a photo of some lamps (on old fashioned lamp posts) all lit up in the dim light of the dark clouds. Very autumn-ish, and just like I read about in all my English novels growing up!
These photos are amazing I love Cabbage and Roses and I love those black boots! I am still worrying that I might never get to wear boots again. Pain.
Enjoy the rain, friend!

Ooh, I especially love the outfit where her hair is in a bun! Casual cool.
I love the look and feel of these photos.
Don’t you just love the changing of seasons! It always gives me bursts of motivation to try new things… and buy new things;) he he

summer used to be my favorite season but i think it is fall now! the hot weather has got me sweating like a pig all the time and it’s not good for my hair! i can’t wait to bust out those cardigans and knit sweaters!
This post feels seriously dreamy, but I’m not looking forward to fall or fog or rain – those days will be the end of my life! And I LOVE scarves! So great to read to ‘healthy’ they are besides being so stylish! xo
Oh gosh, no fog yet, we just got some sun…although it’s apparently going away again by the weekend, but seeing it’s So Cal it should be back till Oct…I’d love to go to London then! xo
P.S. Cute looks!
I love this! I would totally fit in England because my favorite clothes are jackets boots. Love it!
i love the fog and drama of a fall wardrobe. i’ve started making my personal look book + list of must haves. definitely keeping these looks in mind. *sigh* lovely.
These pictures are so chilly and dreamy looking. It almost makes me look forward to cardigan and socks weather.
London sounds so dreamy right now…It sure has warmed up here in So Cal, but I’m so ready for the fall. Can’t wait for tights, boots, scarves, jackets, and layers. =)
I love this whole collection. I am definitely ready for fall and wish i was wearing any of those jackets!
I hate it that in here we won’t be able to wear even a long sleeve T-shirt until Dec… I’d love to be able to ear some warm clothes!!! enjoy ur last days at home!
I’m ready for fall too and these clothes are just what I need. Though I love the sunshine I’ll always be a tights and coats kind of girl.

those are beautiful photos! but i can’t imagine fall ever existing right now since it’s so freakin hot! (whenever i get really hot on a daily basis, i get extra dramatic and lie around the house with my hand over my forehead saying, “why?! why so hot?!”). but i love fall and i can’t wait to roast pumpkin seeds and wear scarves!
mmm, yes please.
I love the warm weather but I start missing my fall clothes. I can’t wait to wear my cardigans and boot again.
These pictures make me want to get some earl grey and curl up with a book book. I love slightly cool, foggy weather.
Ok this post is almost making me long for fall!! There is something to be said about a nice rainy day where you can curl up inside with a good book. And I love pairing tights and boots – so fun. These pictures are just taking me away – to where I dream of going – England!
ohmygoodness!!! love everything! i want fall to come now!
Yes. Oh, YES. I’ve never been to England, but one of my friends stayed there for a year to study and the pictures are AWESOME.
London sounds wonderful right now. It is 100+ degree weather here in Texas. Dreaming of fall is getting me through.
I always want to spend much more than a week or two in foggy England, but especially after seeing these lovely photos! I’ve been really enjoying the weather this week but they say it will be in the nineties again by the weekend. Big boo to that, I want fall NOW!
Beautiful pics Brandi, although the thought of wearing tights is almost unthinkable at the moment
Wish it were cooler here!!! And you must try and make the next fashion blogger get-together, that would be soooo fun!

Although the grace kelly photos made me want it to be late summer forever, I am dying for fall! I love fall colors, and rainy days that call for wool tights and high boots. Sigh. These photos remind me I need to do some serious back to school shopping!
I spent a lovely several months in England. I loved the cool weather. My hair didn’t, but I certainly did. I stayed near the Lake District where it virtually rains/mists most of the winter. But very lovely.
PS- Thanks for the lovely comment about my crane project.
I would love to England, I haven’t been there for a long long time.
Nah, I’m not too fond of England. Maybe a day or two in London. Would LOVE to go Spain though. And Croatia.
i love that first shot! it’s so crazy hot out here right now! fog sounds awesome!
I’m really ready for fall. I want the cozy clothes and the crisp skies and the changing leaves.
love these but I’m not sure I’m ready for fall just yet. though a pumpkin spice latte does sound pretty good right now.
Ooo, I wish someone had called me to create handbags for this photo shoot – a soft wintery aesthetic is right up my alley:
