As M and I were leaving New York City yesterday afternoon, we drove down Broome Street, through the outskirts of Chinatown, past what remains of Little Italy, and into Soho. The car had stopped at the light and I glanced over to him in the driver’s seat when suddenly something caught my eye: a pink dress in the Nanette Lepore storefront. I momentarily wanted to bound out of the car, weave my way through traffic (which technically had stopped), and stare at the dress up close. But the cars started to move and we were speeding off toward the Holland Tunnel before I could even fully process what I had seen.
Nanette has been a favorite designer for some time: her careful details, bright colors, and feminine lines make her pieces hard to resist. And her fall/winter 2010 collection is exceptionally delicious. But the crown jewel for me? This amazing ensemble below.
This, I’m certain of it, needs to be my fall uniform. And that includes the hair.

And her lips and her smokey blue eyes…
Seriously, my fall uniform will be that ensemble also. Which will be really weird when we meet each other for the first time and see that we’re wearing the same thing.
IHOD — You have no idea how tempted I am to go into the store, pick up the items without even looking at the price tags, and just hand over my credit card.
Katrina — The scarf is my favorite part!
Dancing Branflake — That would be awesome and hysterical.
Wow…thanks for introducing me to a new designer =) Are those velvet pants in the last image? A-mazing =) Happy Monday, Brandi!
delish is a perfect description. the last outfit is also my fave. the hair is relaxed and put together at the same time. the scarf and blazer are so lush. yay fall!

I love this collection! it’s perfect! I also love the hair, looks so healthy and perfect
Happy week!
That big chunky scarf is to die for. Almost makes me less sad that summer is over. Almost.
I love her stuff… somehow i don’t own any of her pieces but always drool when i pass by them!
i concur! love that last outfit – and the fact that she makes clothing i would actually wear
Wow, I agree that the final outfit is a complete gem!
Thanks for your super-sweet comment on my spread the love post, and I majorly appreciate your compliment on the nerd napkins, too!
That outfit is perfect! cozy and chic at the same time- no small feat.
I’m still having a hard time thinking about fall- it’s just so hot- but these clothes are getting me in the mood!
These are so lovely- I really love the last outfit- it just screams autumn!
Oh my gosh, I want that last outfit for my permanent autumn look as well! That hair! The colours (olive green and bright blue – drool!)… I’m in love. I’ve always loved Nanette Lepore’s designs as well. Very overlooked, I find.
