shoes + more at NY fashion week, fall 2011

the shows and the new designs at any fashion week are, of course, the real stars, but the editors shine pretty bright, too. especially their shoes! imagine eye-catching footwear to get to and from the shows...it would definitely put an extra pep in my step.

but back to the shows -- i've been browsing through the collections on style.com, and i have many loves & likes. lots of cozy-furry-layering happening, which really makes me feel all warm and fuzzy inside. it looks so good and is perfect for fall. hope you're enjoying seeing all the looks from NY fashion week, fall 2011, as much as me.

after all the madness calms, and all the coverage is done, we'll get to see what the strongest trends were...and how they are interpreted by some great style-setters.

that's when the real fun begins!

food.

i usually make the same thing over and over again, so where else to look for ideas but food porn daily? exciting name, i know, but even more exciting images. check out this drool-worthy picture of "pistachio, chorizo, and chipotle crusted mahi w/ apple-chorizo braised red cabbage & carrot moroccan pancakes." how good, good, goooood does that sound? also sounds hard to make. but hey, that's inspiration for ya.

i also "tweeted" about food today -- a delicious (and easy) recipe of brie, apple, and arugula quesadillas, from the atlantis home blog. you can follow me at twitter.com/greychiffon.

pink inspiration

i normally hate the color pink -- not sure why, but it just doesn't do anything for me. lately, however, i've been oddly drawn to images loaded with the candy-floss hue. i've found myself saving those images to go back to for style (whether it's personal or home) inspiration. above are a few of those images!

pink also represents breast cancer awareness, and october is breast cancer awareness month. if you'd like to make a donation, please visit the susan g. komen for the cure website.
