Heidi Merrick Fall Collection

Today is an important and critical day in US and I'm sick to my stomach for not being there and play my roll, seriously?  For those of you who think that one vote does not make a difference, you should watch this video.  Go out and make yourself count! Vote!

That jacket on the right; God that jacket on the right! eh?

On a side note I wanted to share with you one of my latest obsessions in fashion, Heidi Merrick.  Her clothes are feminine, chic and modern with a flowing and delicate influence.  I loved every piece from her Spring 2012 collection but, her Fall 2012 one got me at Hello!!.  The clothes are made in downtown Los Angeles.  One more reason to love them even more.

Welcome Autumn

We spent the weekend in NYC where it was 77 on Saturday.  Now here in MD it's 56 and honestly feels even cooler.  The cloudy sky and yellow leaves only add to the atmosphere of fall.

How to wear a Trench Coat fashionalby

Having moved to Sao Paulo during the beginning of Spring has helped me skip all the heavy clothes and coats.  I've been relying on my trench coat for the evenings and lighter clothes during the days' warmer hours.
Since many other ladies count on this iconic piece for Autumn on the other side of the hemisphere as well, it's a good idea to show a few fashionable ways to use a trench coat.  I personally like to wear it with the collar up, like Jackie above; I think I invented this whole collar thing in my previous life. ;) I also like to roll up my sleeves a bit and use the belt instead of buttoning up.  
Whether you want to thank Pink Panther or Burberry for this fashion and classic stable, it's one that, regardless of the very specific-look, can be worn in many deferent ways.  Enjoy!

Love this effortlessly chic way of carrying it, like above.  My mom used to wear her blazers as capes when young.  I like this too.

In a Spring mood with short and pastel colors.  Adore the photo below of those two cutie ones.  Get them ready for the world of fashion.  Yes, it's important too.

wear it almost like a dress like Victoria Beckham.
