so long...farewell...auf wiedersehen...

as of 5:17 PM this evening summer 2009 is officially over, so please, please, PLEASE put away your white jeans, tank tops and flip flops. we understand that transitioning from season to season can be difficult--especially in the south where the thermometer hovers in the mid-80's throughout the month of september--but we have a couple pointers that will help navigate the way through your closet.






#1: flirty + hardcore = transitional bliss

take sienna miller in this feminine dress paired with motorcycle boots and a leather jacket. the look is flawless and expertly melds a summer wardrobe into fall. to make this look your own, chose your favorite flowy dress from summer (liberty prints work especially well), dust off your ankle boots from last fall and invest in a great leather jacket that will carry you through the season.





#2: one part summer + two parts fall = the recipe for total togetherness

victoria beckham shows us that shorts and boots can happily coexist when blended with a tailored blazer. instead of switching your closet over from summer to fall this year, try something new with a "grab-and-go" approach. think of each item in your closet as either a "summer" or "fall" item. summer would include shorts and tees, while fall would include blazers and boots. when you're looking for that perfect transitional outfit, grab one summer item, two fall and voila: total togetherness!


for more inspiration on how to blend summer and fall, stop by poole shop to see our new collection from wren that includes a lightweight blazer and adorable plaid tunic. we dressed this little darling in wren's corduroy blazer and silk mini skirt for a great summer-meets-fall look. when the weather cools down even more, throw on a pair of colorful see by chloe tights and knee-high isabel marant boots for the total fall package.
