The Faces of Autumn
The blog title doesn't make much sense, but I'm still groggy from the creeping death so I'm not going to be too hard on myself. We explored the gorgeous campus of SMU during our glorious Thanksgiving weekend to more fully enjoy the autumnimity.
The photo above makes me laugh. I was just talking with a friend of mine about the awkwardness of posing for pictures because generally you forget what to do with your face. She still looks pretty in her pictures, if wearing maybe an expression slightly different from her usual one. I somehow end up with cartoonish expressions of exaggerated emotion. The one above is "actor in an 80s television drama portraying a spy playing it cool". Anyway, it was a gorgeous day.

Being
I am currently ill with a something or other and my mind is about as sharp and focused as an undercooked pancake, so I won't inflict the results of my addled brain-matter on you too much. (I assume most people are like me and are mentally flat-lining/easily distracted whilst sick, on top of being irrationally cranky. I have been trying to motivate myself to make chicken soup out of our Thanksgiving leftovers for dinner and just realized that instead I have spent almost the past six hours lumbering through the internet. I need to make tea and go to bed with a Wodehouse novel before I implode with frustrated intentions.) (Omg, I just realized my apartment complex shut off the water, because I needed something else to make me feel gross and deprived.) (This can make me a better person. Calmete.)
Regardless of my current health conditions, I wanted to share some lovely things with you on this final day of November. When I met my friend Maggie, one of the first things I noticed looking around her dorm room was that she has killer taste, sort of an effortless barometer for chic while mixing it up with modern and otherwise. She also had the coolest vintage Guinness ad I have seen to this date, apropos of nothing. Anyway, this preface is to explain why it is that I keep filching from neat things she sends me. Observe: Wrist Worms, also featured on Sacramento Street weird name, cool product. Hand-crocheted by Sandra Juto in Sweden of 100% wool, and her website is full of lovely photography!

Essence of Autumn
My first outfit post is part of Kristy of Vogue Gone Rogue's The Essence of Autumn contest. I was planning on being all well-prepared and what not and do this weeks ahead of time, but of course the delinquent in me twisted this and finagled that (I am actually just crap at planning) so that naturally I just met the deadline much like the term papers I squeezed under college profs doors back in the day. Autumn brings out the academic in me naturally so let's just say it was a piece of performance art. Aren't you impressed?
Autumn is a bewitching season, and stands apart from the others. In spring, summer and winter you can find the broad analogies of the three ages of men: the innocence and struggles of childhood, the intoxicating freedom of youth, and the slowing maturity of experience. Autumn stands apart because she shakes us loose with hauntings of memory. It is feverish with dreams. Even here in a region without seasons, Autumn is still here; the ghosts are in the scents.
