Can I get real for a moment? You see, I can wax poetic about the merits of convertible cruising under a cloudless sky, the radiance of a razor sharp icicle and the first toe-curlingly fragrant whiff of fresh-cut lilacs in spring, but I must be frank: fall is the season for which I live. It is the apple cider in my mug, the pile of leaves in which I roll (ticks be damned), and celebrated annually with a rapt viewing of Rushmore while wearing a jaunty beret, à la Max Fischer. As a salute to the beginning of nippy temperatures and covered legs, I've put together a collection of my Top 10 fall ensembles, for your wardrobe's pleasure.

I'm ready to dig out all my cozy vintage wool sweaters & scarves. Love shawl collars, hoodies, Cowichans, timeless Fair Isle and Scandinavian patterns. I knit them too, when time allows. Good hiking boots are requisite for those nature walks so I'd love to see more handmade hiking socks as the season moves on. Layering & more layering. May it be a very long & gorgeous autumn! Great piece, Allison!
