The weather is beautiful!  Some of you have warned me not to wish cold weather here too soon, but I love the cool weather because I love corduroy, blazers, scarfs, boots and, of course, layers!

I am so excited to finally have the opportunity to wear this fabulous new scarf from Blue Onion Marketplace.  The color is perfect and the texture and shine make it different from any of my other scarves.   I think I will be getting a lot of wear out of this little piece.

Just as S. did yesterday with the fabulous etsy shop Vintage Threadz, I have to take a minute to gush over the great online boutique Blue Onion Marketplace.  The three of us are lucky enough to have some lovely items from this little gem of a shop, including the Dulken & Derrick vintage flowers, which we have used to decorate bags and clutches, and to create belts, this purple ripple scarf and S.’s orange version, and the wonder wrap S. sported last week.  E. and I have wonder wraps too that we will be pulling out soon, now that the weather has cooled off, and we all have a few more flowers to play with.

We will also be doing our first Academichic giveaway which will be generously sponsored by Blue Onion Marketplace, so be sure to check back soon for that!    A.

   That maroon and purple color combo looks gorgeous on you! Especially with that orange plant blooming in the background.

   I love the outfit! I am only recently discovering that pink and purple can go well together, and this is a great example!

   I only found your blog a few days ago, but I am already having lots of fun following you!

   I have a funny feeling I am going to LOVE all of your Autumn outfits. Autumn fashion is the best. I love pashminas and boots and tights and hats and jackets. Woohoo!

   I just finisdhed my Ode to Autumn post, kind of ironic.
