an LA girl can dream of Autumn...

But in Oregon, they really do have seasons! All of them! In the Fall, leaves change colors, the air gets crisp, and people wear scarves... and I don't mean scarves with a tank top.  Every Fall, I lust after the wonderfully preppy and chic new fashion lines (ahem, J. Crew), knowing that I'll probably just wear sandals again tomorrow. If I go up to my parents' house, though, I get to wear cords, and tweed, and herringbone! And boots because they're functional and not just because they're cute! Ok, ok, I know this is not a fashion blog, so I will quit my rambling and be content with my sandals and light sweaters. I will, however, daydream about coming home to this:

and then sitting here with a good book:

or wandering along this:

While wearing these... Le sigh!
