These shots make us think of that certain time of year when we're so excited to wear Fall clothes already but the weather is still not cool enough... Holding your new leather blazer can help!

The one thing we always keep in mind with vintage is that the sizes are very unique.  Sometimes completely off, but usually somewhere along the line of modern sizes.  For the shoot we put together a range of different looks, and we were a little worried about them all fitting properly on our model. But, lucky us, our model Megan has a magic body and she fit perfectly into every single piece. What a relief.

Walking down Madison Avenue on the night of FNO, we snapped a few shots on our phones to give you an idea of what the scene was like... After checking in at a few of the boutique festivities, dodging video-cameras and crazy costumes in the name of fashion, we ducked into Nello's for a drink with some friends.

We're hooked on light purple nails, it's such a pretty twist on traditional variations of pink and red nail polish color.  Get OPI "Do You Lilac It?" or "Done Out In Deco." Looks perfect with the variations of dark green on this year's Fall palette.

Devi Kroell, Fall 2011

Is it just me or is there snakeskin everywhere? The queen of this trend is obviously Devi Kroell, but Zara definitely got the memo. I love these tall boots (shopping online now open in the US!) and this vintage belt, are both the perfect accessories to play up a minimalist outfit.

We shot our Fall Lookbook on the Upper East Side's Lenox Hill neighborhood, right near Central Park.  This part of the city always looks perfect in the Fall and we love the streets with rows and rows of gorgeous townhouses, high fashion boutiques, and charming cafes.  Our model is wearing a vintage cardigan and skirt, loafers, Oliver Peoples vintage frames, and Linda Bernell Jewelry's cuffs.

 Linda Bernell Jewelry recently came out with these simple stingray skin cuffs, decked with a critter gem.

We love the way she balances the strength and boldness of a cuff with a delicate sparkling ornament.  And how cute are those little bugs?

One of our favorite Fall Collections from new, up and coming Katie Ermilio, easily feminine, well-contained frills in all the right places.

Of all the menswear inspired things I've seen flooding the fashion scene, I can't stop thinking about these loafers.  They are so menswear-inspired yet they have just the right amount of feminine flair.  A lot of designers go too far when feminizing menswear and add too many  frills or flowers that overpower the original design.  Not this pair.  And it's J.Crew, so go find me a reason NOT to like it.
