Whichgoose Autumn Lookbook

Well, this poor blog has been so neglected this year ... but I've made an exception to my pregnancy laziness and HAD to post some pictures from the recent photo shoot with PPS.

I'm calling it "A walk in autumn woods" .... with gorgeous photos by Pretty Petal Studio and crowns by Whichgoose.

Thanks to model Kate and assistant extraordinaire Lalania! 

autumn essentials

Something about humid, disgusting late-summer days make me dream of fall. 

And autumn makes me think of new clothes!!! I think this stems from the days of back-to-school shopping and that possibility of starting anew. 

In any event, I'm sure I will not be able to wait and will be wearing sweaters in 75 degree weather.  

Here are some definite possibilities:

cowl from thisolthing

She also has SUPER cute hats, of which I have bought two! :)

hat by ileaiye

Here's another hat option--- love the color.

boots from spirocreations

These are a bit pricey, but so cute! I also love the little yellow shoes in their shop. drool.

Clogs from Birkenstock

But, to maintain tradition, I will most likely buy a pair of Birks. I usually get a new Birk sandal in the summertime, and a new clog in the fall. Tradition .. or fashion rut!?

Autumn's a-coming! - ideas for the shop

I haven't done a truly "whichgoose-related" post in a while ... been so busy with the vacation and the move. And here we are, almost AUGUST. Sometimes it's good to write down your goals and ideas -- it's like saying them out loud to see if they make sense...

I had been planning, but this time of year, to have:

1.) My Christmas shopping done.

2.) My tires rotated and my oil changed.

3.) My files organized and real book-keeping implemented

4.) Quit my day job

Alas, none of these goals have come to pass. 

But I remain hopeful for the final months of 2009. 

Here are some business goals:

1.) Product branding  .... doing something with the logo ... magnets maybe?

2.) Line of bouquets

3.) Line of smaller flower-girl crowns and accessories.

4.) Make-your-own boutonniere listing (Like, a $20 flat fee with a bunch of options??)

And personal goals:

1.) Make time for friends.

2.) Make time for exercise/eat better.

3.) Stress out less.

I'll think of this as an early start for a 2010 resolution. Gotta stay ahead of the game! :)

quest for the perfect boots: UPDATE

Okay okay. I know I was looking for vintage boots, but, sometimes it's just better to buy new! Sure--they are not original, and sure, there will be a million other girls wearing them.....but they're clean and smell nice and are comfy! :)

So I'm going with it. The only downside--the name of them is "hobbit"---so that is so not sexy. Oh well. This is a HUGE departure for me with my fall footwear--which has always been sneakers or Birkenstock clogs. 

All well. Out with the old, in with the new.

quest for the perfect boots

Yesterday, I smelled it: AUTUMN! It was very faint--but still--it was the subtle, crisp air smell, with just a hint of dried leaves....

My FAVORITE. 

So, in honor of the coming season, I am hunting for the perfect pair of fall boots. 

Here are some idears: From etsy.com, of course!
