Sneak Peek: Fall ’12

Every June, when summer is ripe as a cherry and full of carefree possibilities, I dream about living the rest of my life in a floral printed caftan with a minimal beauty regime of wavy hair and a dab of cheek bronzer. Beach trips, sunsets and gallons of rose stretch out before me, and I sing to myself, how can it get any better than this?! Then, my August issues start to arrive…Vogue, ELLE, Bazaar…and as I’m tearsheeting head to toe leather looks and fur embellished pieces, that endless summer feeling, well, ends. And all I can think about is fashion week, crisp fall nights and bottles of pinot noir.

The grass is always greener, right? Just like the seasons, with fashion, there’s always something to look forward to. Here are a few fall teaser images to help you transition out of that caftan.

American Pie

It’s the dead of summer, and we’re longing for a crisp New England lake, a raft with some built in cup holders, beverages for those cup holders, and a handful of our fave friends – preferably one with a chic lake house. Here’s what’s inspiring us on this sweltering Tuesday:

MM6 lands at LN!

MM6 Maison Martin Margiela has arrived at Les Nouvelles for fall 2012. We’re die hard fans of the Margiela label, but it’s always been on a rack that’s just beyond our financial reaches. When we saw MM6, the Belgian house’s diffusion line, we FLIPPED out over the chic and highly versatile staples that held the same deeply cool and minimalist allure as Margiela but at a price that we could get our hands on. Shop the new collection now!
