Predilections for Fall
Two themes dominate my fashion predilections for fall: Avant-garde and Lady.
The Avant-garde impulse began in May with a trip to Barney’s. The sales associates had to mop up the puddle of duel I left in front of the, spring collection. Thanks to my darling husband, I am now the owner of two pieces from the cacophony collection.

And I just nabbed full-length Anita Karthaus overcoat in black cotton yesterday. Pictures are forthcoming and this item is on lay-away. If anyone has a sense of how this Polish/German designer plays on the other side of the Atlantic, please let me know.
The Lady look, of course, is inspired by Princess Diana and by my late grandmother, and by the vibe I am getting as I look at the fall RTW collections.
To pull the two themes together, I am saving my pennies for an Hermes cape cod watch with the double Martin Margiela band. I have a little savings account set aside for this baby. Twenty dollars here, fifty dollars there, and by my birthday I should be ready.
