A Farewell to Summer & Trusting the Seasons of Your Life


Well here we are, the weekend after Labor Day - one week closer to fall and one week further from the end of summer. This time of year, a brief transitional period between the end of what we know as summer and the official beginning Fall, is always bittersweet. While it is of course exciting that Fall is just around the corner, I can't help but always feel a bit sad when summer says adieu. It stems from moving on from the wonderful memories made, and I'm sure I can speak for many when I say that endings are just not my thing, regardless of how much finality they carry. Twenty-three years of life and the end of summer is just as bittersweet now as it was as a kid trading in bathing suits for back-packs. At this point I've accepted that it likely always will be, and that's okay. But I've also come to accept that the seasons will always change - we are never stuck in one, nor do we get to stay in the good ones for ever. Such is life.

J.Crew Fall New Arrivals

I took a stroll through J.Crew last week, and was so impressed with just about all of their new arrivals for fall. If I'm being honest, over the summer I was (do I dare say) disappointed with some of their line. It wasn't awful by any means, but it just wasn't the J. Crew I know and love. This fall line however, is amazing. J.Crew you've redeemed yourself.

I want to share it all with you, which isn't possible, so instead I've rounded up a few pieces that I am absolutely loving. You know the ones that you see and just know you need..? Yeah, these are them for me. I don't think my (or your!) fall wardrobe will be complete without them! Check out my favorites below, and be sure to take a look at all the new fall arrivals here. Enjoy!

What are some of your favorites from above? Leave a comment below to let me know, I'd love to hear!
