The First Day of Summer and Fall Fashion

It is in the 90s. Usually I'd be jumping for joy, but not now. I'm cranky as hell. I want out, out, out of summer or DC, either one would work. It just seems so damn silly to hang out in the heat when there ain't crap around here to do to cool off---no pools, lakes, or ocean, just lots of pavement and the craptastic Potomac River.

July and August were most definitely my favorite months in New Hampshire. I miss burning my legs on a hot dock, and running across sand that is so hot it's unbearable. These are a very small price to pay because nothing in the world beats dozing off while watching the waves come in or dipping your feet into a lake so crystal clear that you can inspect the rocks and pebbles below. I miss it so much, I could buy a plane ticket right now and pack nothing but swim suits!

I'm not going to New Hampshire now though, and probably won't be going back for awhile. Oh, boo. So what are my favorite months in DC? My favorite months in DC are September and October. The weather cools off a bit and the city has a few less tourists meandering around. You can actually enjoy yourself outside.

So I've taken my dreams of lakes and the ocean and buried them, buried them with my swim suits and beach towel. And I've moved onto more hopeful things, like fall fashion. And I love boots!

I think a shorter boot is going to be all the rage this fall and winter. They really are flattering. Make sure they have heel though. They will make your legs look slim and long. And they are easier to put on!

Here's a pair I found online that not only look super cute, but also warm and comfortable!
