Everywhere you turn people are talking about fall. And while the stores are stocked with lush {and lovely} fall duds, if you attempt to put them on you will most certainly be a giant sweaty mess within minutes. It seems like the serious summer heat wave rolled in just as back-to-school, fall fever is kicking off.

I may be browsing for new fall additions but I’m still sticking with shorts for now (in an attempt to not be super sticky in all the humidity) – especially this paisley pair that always keep me from feeling too predictable.

I’m heading to Ikea today to do some shopping for my new office. It’s been a while since I’ve disappeared within those giant blue walls, so I’m pretty excited.

p.s. – I announced the winner of the Pencil Shavings Studio giveaway – Congrats Manda!

Shorts: J.Crew Factory; Silk Top: LOFT (old and thrifted); Watch: Timex; Necklace: 31 Bits (love this company – jewelry is all handmade in Africa); Bag: Coach
