the most wonderful time of the year

mary's blog has been updated with photos, stories, thoughts and lots of love from her travels of the world, thus far. today, she leaves for south east asia, so her european adventure is over. stop by and at least look at the gorgeous views from greece, turkey, budapest and everywhere else in europe. she's been gone for two months, and has seriously seen more and done more then people see and do in a year. lovin' it.

fall is among us, and i am going to be brave and finally break out my boots today. i have been waiting patiently for this season to come for a few reasons.

a.) boots. yes yes yes. i love my boots! boots with tights, boots with straight leg jeans, boots with anything. i am all about boots.

b.) concerts. the three biggest: jason mraz with eric in october. girl talk with george, aaron & co in november. (ps: girl talk's one show date was so popular he added two more dates in nyc!). and lastly (the favourite!) vampire weekend in december with the same gang that saw them in central park this spring. (ps: they also added a second date!). every month there is a new exciting concert to look forward to and i will be there! (in boots).

c.) candy corn. this says it all.

d.) the events coming up at catherine sheridan house. autumn parties. pumpkin carving. thanksgiving lunch. trim-a-tree tea. you name it, we're celebrating it!

e.) a fall vineyard tour with stephen for his birthday. mmmm.

f.) the holiday collection gap and jcrew put out hits stores in two weeks. (cordoury! velvets! burnt orange!).

and lastly -

g.) SCARFS! (as if i was going to say something different?).
