Mid-Week Inspiration: Vintage Sweaters

Believe it or not, with this humidity, fall is fast on it's way! There are so many vintage knitting and crochet patterns out there that I would love to stitch up. Here are a few that are perfect for transitional weather.

How perfect is this for cold mornings and warm afternoons? Love the yellow, too.

So glamorous and I'm dying over that sleeve.
Unfortunately, this pattern has sold. Do you know of one similar? 

I absolutely love this! Love the cuffs, the two tone, keyhole, and her smirk!

Now to only get my knitting up to speed!

My View: Green-Wood Cemetery

Yesterday my husband and I took a lovely Autumn stroll through the nearby Green-Wood Cemetery here in Brooklyn. Founded in 1838, Green-Wood quickly became the place to be buried and to visit in Victorian era New York City. As the New York Times wrote in 1866, "It is the ambitions of the New Yorker to live upon Fifth Avenue, to take his airings in the (Central) Park, and to sleep with his fathers in Green-Wood."

It really is a beautiful place to visit with ornate monuments, peaceful hills, and views of Manhattan. Enjoy my shots below.

More Inspiration: PHI Fall 2009

With so many images from the NY Fashion Week to pour over, I simply can't wait until next Wednesday to post another Mid-Week Inspiration. I am having 50 heart attacks over the PHI Fall 2009 Collection as I was over their Fall 2008 Collection. But this time they have taken it to a whole other level. There were too many pics I had chosen as my favorites to post, so please check out the complete collection. I seriously need all of these items shown here. I especially love the short sleeve jackets and sweaters worn with long opera length leather gloves. I am completely inspired to rock that look this fall with my vintage gloves. I will have to search for more. In the meantime, I will be saving up for those hot lace up velvet leggings, the silver sequin bomber jacket mini skirt, and that black sequin dress.

Mid-Week Inspiration: Alberta Ferretti

This past week has been really stressful and to top it off I have a mild sinus infection. So as I try to get back on my blogging schedule I am inspired by Alberta Ferretti's Fall ad campaign. It features slouchy overtired models in the subway, still looking fabulous. Thank you for making tired so fashionable!
