Man am I ever ready for Fall!  Unfortunately around these parts Mother Nature seems to be a bit confused.  Today it was 103F and on Saturday it was up to 109F... ack!  Here's hoping this display of Fall-ish lovelies will encourage a bit of a (much needed) seasonal change. 

What signs of Fall (or Spring) are you having in your neck of the woods... I need to live vicariously through you all!

Featured (top image): Polka Dot Jacket, Rib Sleeve Cardigan, Charmane Cotton Jacket & Abby Cotton Coat... all sweet and affordable from Forever 21.  (lower image): Lolla Flats by Gabriella Rocha, Polette Peep Toe Heels by Vaneli, Celine Riding-Inspired Boots, Ambry Ankle Boots by Report... all at Zappos.

Wren Clothing Line

In Refinery29's newsletter I discovered Wren... a new clothing brand launched by Melissa Coker.  The brand's name is derived from "Dickens' Jenny Wren, a crippled doll dressmaker with a pure
heart." Melissa says the line is "prone to a bit of subtle, old-world
romanticism, and the name befits that feeling."  If you like what you see here, click here for more pieces from the current Wren collection.
