Party season is starting --- holidays, birthdays, that sorta thing... and when that happens, the air is crisper and the nights are getting colder. Admittedly, I used to be most excited about Autumn because it meant a new coat. Coats were my reason for looking forward to back to school shopping. 

And when I got older, coats were one of the mainstays on wishlists for Christmas/birthday presents. While browsing my new favourite shopping site, I'm seriously considering Rachel Comey's Second Husband Coat. The name alone is worth it. Not convinced? Check out the pictures of the coat... the back of the coat looks AMAZING. Honestly.

But I can't just go to a party/gathering in an awesome coat alone... If I do, I won't have to worry about going to anymore of these shindigs. I won't knock anyone who still swears by a signature LBD but sometimes (really, most times) I think I get more bang for my buck with separates. And now, I find an interesting pair of pants trumps a skirt any day.

But FYI: I would not turn down a printed dress.

Rachel Comey, stop making porn

(shoe porn, that is). 

I used to say that I didn't like shoes anymore than I like other articles of clothing/accessories. But you know, considering most posts are about shoes or allude to them, I won't insult your intelligence: I like shoes. Okay. I love shoes. There. I said it (although, I've admitted it before).

Rachel Comey and I are a team - a super team. She makes beautiful shoes and I buy 'em. I window-shopped my way through many-a-pair and found my favourites for FW10.

rc's barbaro via la garconne

RC had a version of the Penpal that was in black croc but the bootie was higher and I just found it a little too much for me. But when done in a shorter boot, it kind of tones down the bling. You know what I mean.

rc's beaufort clog via la garconne

Clogs are okay. But when RC does a clog, I can't help but feel it's allure. I'm so lame. (But c'mon, with the perfect wool socks, in grey, these would be perfect fall shoes!)

rc linden via le train bleu

 2 words: granny chic.
1 word: penniless. (Me).

rc mars via la garconne

Yeah. I have a thing for booties. Also: I can never say no to pebbled leather. Well. Almost never.

Suede is never a good idea but... the heel really got me. Ugh.

I might not be willing to wear head to toe nude but I can definitely wear nude boots. They're muted in the most perfect way, no?
