As we turn the corner into fall, the countdown on the last 25% of this year has begun and my schedule seems to have naturally gone into overdrive. I spent part of last week in New York, creative directed my first shoot back in LA yesterday and will be on set all day tomorrow styling for one of my favorite brands. I’m pretty sure things will only speed up as the holidays inch closer and everyone scrambles to complete shoots by year’s end. After downshifting for much of this year after having Parker, I’m embracing the craziness, feeling more creative than ever, and ready to take on what the rest of this year brings my way!

Nothing says “I mean business” like a boucle skirt, am I right?  The knotted tee keeps it more fun and playful than a button down or blazer would. While we are still battling some less than fall feeling temperatures here in LA, I’m imagining this with opaque Wolford tights, chunky heeled boots, and a trench coat in a couple of months. Fingers crossed!

It’s fun to imagine walking in and out of these caves where lions and tigers and bears once laid their heads… oh my! Plus it seems pretty fitting for a post about getting back into work at full-speed. After all, it’s a jungle out there.
