ankles in bloom

i am obsessed with these shoes.  also with these socks.  i am loving the booties w/ socks trend that is popping up everywhere for the fall and i am finally ready to embrace it fully -- so this weekend a visiting friend and i set out on a sock mission.  i assumed every store we walked into would have a large display of the perfect length socks in the perfect fabric.  boy was i wrong!  it took 3 stores to finally find some (2 pair) acceptable ones (at LF of course) and then another 24 hours to find another bunch (6 pair) that i could actually see myself wearing.  anyway, these are the ones i wore today and they were as comfy as tennis shoes!

i know i have already gushed about these shoes but i just can't get over how fierce they are and i also wore them all weekend so i feel they need more attention!  happy sunday! xx

it seems particularly fitting that the last day of summer in the northern hemisphere would be a gloomy cloud-saturated day. this year seems to have passed with brief periods of sun threatened by the onset of moisture. this weekend i spent some time just south of San Francisco and as the weather gods would have it, it was fantastically sunny and beautiful. just my luck.

yesterday i attended the NFL monday night football game with brad and his dad at candlestick park.  i love football season - the changing of the air, the idea of going back to school after a lazy summer and the festivities that come with the games. anyway, it was the first professional football game i have ever been to and i am happy to say i came away with a stomach full of beer and soft pretzel and a WIN! (woohoo SAINTS!) 

my one cell phone shot!

i am also a new convert to LACE UP BOOTS - they have ceased reminding me of the "punk" movement in high school and have transcended to an all new level in my closet. i found these steve madden PERRIN boots last weekend and after wearing them ALL weekend i will share them with all!

these have two sets of hooks in between a center lace up section and a neat red backing on the zipper. im smitten.

ps - who else has jumped on the BOARDWALK EMPIRE bandwagon? you should, its good.
