I've been completely obsessed with the Dries Van Noten Fall 2010 collection for an unhealthy number of months, so when it came time to select a few pieces for Fall and Winter, I found myself gravitating towards military, khaki, and skirts with hemlines that dropped below the knee. One of the items I selected was this washed-out olive-y skirt. And how nifty is it? The length is magical (meaning it hides, what I believe, the ugliest part of the female body, including mine--KNEES!) and the massive pockets are the closest I've come to wearing cargo pants in skirt form. I can easily hide some change, my cellphone, sunnies and a couple of snacks for the road. These are all very good things.

In other news, I've been mocking up some redesigns for this site and have decided on one. It'll be coded up in no time. It's a cleaner and classier aesthetic that I hope you'll enjoy. In terms of content, I'm pushing to update more, not specifically outfit posts (I'm feeling a bit 'been-there-done-that' with those), but with design projects, general inspiration, and tutorials. Trust me, you don't want to see more outfit posts with my mug. They'll end up something like this: Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday (when I'm feeling especially audacious). FUN.

I'm back in Boston! It feels like I have never left but also like I have been away for ages. Coming back has been very bittersweet. I feel fully awake again and ready to conquer, but I've left so many new friends and memories in Florida, too. Here's a quick photo log of a day in Boston. Missing all of you!

Photos: Me in H&M trench, Salvatore Ferragamo Vara's, scalloped blazer, the huge pile of WWDs I'll be catching up on, coffee from one of my favorite places in the South End, and lunching at home.
