What a stunning fall we are having in northern California. I am amazed the trees are so vibrant considering temperatures don’t seem to have dropped enough to turn them. Today it is sunny and in the mid 80’s.

Fall is traditionally the busiest time of year for designers but yesterday I took some time off after lunch to shoot the pistachio and maple trees downtown.

This weekend David and I are attending a housewarming party in Sacramento for my younger cousin Rich and his wife Danna. It is their first house and we are so happy for them! I am going to wear something yummy for autumn: a fitted lambswool cardigan with a three quarter sleeve, a tie belt, and a beautiful faux mink stole. All I need to go with it is a pair of brown leather skinny jeans.

Last weekend David put the last of the upper garden furniture away for winter. I am sad to see it leave but at least we are still able to enjoy the great California outdoors. I hope you are too.
