the september issues...

...always bring me such joy...thought i would share my pile of wonderful reading material for september...full of all the fall trends...as we know...september is the january in fashion...and being that fall is my most favorite season...when it comes to fashion...well you can imagine how thrilled i am with my current reading selection...vogue alone is 916 pages...

i really must do something for my mailman...who so faithfully carried these heavy magazines to me... =)  

stay tuned faithful readers...i will be sharing all that is fall this year...in the next few weeks...

you had me at hello: golden...

i'm finally making a point and looking back on all the pages in the september issue of vogue...and all the other september magazines frankly...that i had marked as the pages "to go back to"...there are lots =)

this beauty had me at hello...was it the gold? the texture? the combination of the two? who cares...all i know is that i absolutely love this dress...

are you thinking of bringing some metallic into your fall wardrobe?

what i love about this time of year...

...would be...mostly the gorgeous weather...but when it comes to fashion...this is the time that all the lovely thick september issues start arriving at my door...thank goodness my mailman likes me...because these babies are heavy! and he is getting an arm workout...

vogue 726+ pages
instyle 600+ pages
harper's bazaar 508+ pages
marie claire 296+ pages (wimpy wimpy wimpy is playing in my head)

still waiting on a few more...obviously...where's my elle??

point being...that my lovely mailman delivers these heavy thick mags (most of which won't fit in my mailbox) to my door...

and inside these beauties?? my favorite time of year for shopping...i am definately a summer girl for weather...and a fall girl for fashion...

and as so eloquently stated in "the september issue" - the documentary following vogue editor-in-chief anna wintour's preparation for the 2007 issue...
"september is the january of fashion"

and i'm lovin the fall fashions this year...
