Good evening and a happy September to you, it seems strange to be typing that when it is still 92 and blistering hot. As much as I am looking forward to Fall I want to enjoy these beautiful sunny days.

I hope that you have had a wonderful weekend. I am happy to have an extra day to relax, there has not been much of that with contractors in the house most of the week remodeling the mud room and the in-laws bathroom suite.

There are so many great sales this weekend, as I mentioned I am already shopping for the holidays. Here are a few of my favorite finds from J.Crew, each of these pieces is on sale for 40% off!

Happy September, Elizabeth, but how can it be September???? It was kind of a gloomy day that was somewhere in between summer and fall today, and I will be glad to wear some fall fashion. Do the models on J. Crew look a little strange to you at all? Not sure if you ever saw #drunkjcrew memes from a couple years back, but now the models look seriously ticked off with their scowls! Ha! Happy weekend, friend.
I'm thrilled to note that tweed/check blazers are back – a classic item which I've missed for a long while. I especially love herringbone. Nice thing is I've also seen some heavy knit fabric versions. I think they would be so comfortable, with a bit of stretch – easier to wear with today's trouser styles and loafers/sneakers perhaps. I'm going shopping to try one on! My cashmere sweaters are still in great shape and I have several – but of course there's always room for one more!!! I'd like a chunky one with a mock neck and really long sleeves, perhaps in a cable pattern. When in England in May I bought new trousers and can't wait to wear them this Fall – they have the cut I like, above the ankle and deep pockets for one's hands.
I'm ready to pack away the linens and bring out the wools! I've even started knitting again now it's a bit cooler.
