Fashionista Fall Shopping

While I absolutely love seasonal shopping features, I don't often find full looks that fit my style. A great bag here, a cute dress there is fine, but strong full looks are more rare than you would think. This is why I am obsessed with Fashionista's fall shopping feature. Especially the picks by Lauren and Dhani. Lauren gets the fun side of fashion (major fashion like Proenza and Givenchy) that is chic and never stuffy. Dhani's look is more ladylike, but still young. I could see wearing these pieces from the weekend into the office for years. And that coat is just perfection. Props to J.Crew for the (not so) subtle product placement as well.

A.P.C. Quilts: How to Make a French-American Quilt

I love everything about A.P.C.'s quilts. I love that they remind me of the quilts my mom made when I was growing up. I love the classic American craft patterns. I love that the simple blocked patchwork feels decidedly modern. I love that A.P.C. can mix heritage, their archive, and history and actually feel sincere. I really love how cozy it would be to cuddle under one.

Finally, my years of going to quilt fairs feels a little cool and the sewing machine in my closet might get some use.
