Hit the Pavement.

I can’t think of anything better to break up the bleak, gray cold of the outside. Electric blue, and just the right size. Rapture - Upcycled bright blue leather bag from Hoakon/Helga. 

One of my absolute favorite blogs to follow is The Sartorialist. Started by Scott Schuman, a veteran of the fashion industry, it chronicles the very best of day-to-day street style from around the world. Aside from the refreshingly minimal layout of the blog itself (no flashing ads or distracting content filling every margin of the page), Schuman’s pictures manage to successfully capture a completely different mood than a more traditional fashion magazine. For the most part, The Sartorialist features regular, every day people that choose to maintain an inspired wardrobe. As you scan the images, you begin to notice the care that goes into even the smallest detail. It motivated me to pull together a collection of some of my favorite inspired pieces for fall…

Dapper and svelte. Military jacket from Big Brother Vintage.

Protect yourself from SARS and look good doing it. SARS Guard Hoodie by Ruffeoheartslilsnotty. 

Stylish and functional, these are the perfect boots for fall. Vintage pale gray slouchy boots from Dear Golden Vintage.

One of my favorite finds this season. Cranberry/Taupe Cowl Neck Warmer by Trucks & Pearls.

The most beautiful ascots, necklaces, and kerchiefs from silk neckties, breathing a feminine new life into vintage men’s accessories. Upcycled Neck Kerchief by Lilian Asterfield.

Sleek new take on a cold weather classic.  A perfect version of the peacoat for those of us in the pacific northwest, complete with a cozy hood to keep the rain at bay. The Peahoodie in Heather Grey by Abigail Adams.
