some things I DO like for fall and some we need
I don't want you all to think there's nothing I like in the way of fall fashions -
there are quite a few items I'm fond of...
I am in love with this cardigan from the Sundance catalogue (in Storm, in regular, medium, if anyone is, you know, interested) - but I would wear it with a longer tee shirt.
I can see myself wearing this sweater all the time - with everything. Just not with my six pack showing. (I'm cracking myself up.)
I think this is a great special dress. I don't have anywhere special to go, and I would wear it with that tee shirt underneath it...
The outfit on the left is very me. And, with my new short hair, very butch I suppose. I wore it yesterday, in black and white.
Gorgeous wrap. Probably meant as a throw...but I just love it.
I still have no winter jacket...
and I was contemplating this - but I just cannot do it.
I've decided I won't have a 'parka.'
And I'm okay with it.
I don't really have a parka lifestyle.
But this is tempting...
A snappy twist on the peacoat. Who showed me a peacoat to die for? Vickee who is no longer an internet person?
Here's the one that got away -
an Agnes B dress on ebay. I missed the end of the auction somehow and it went for twenty or thirty dollars. A shame.
As for things we NEED -
I've decided to do the bathroom upstairs in Pottery Barn stuff.
This Pottery Barn stuff.
(and we are one year into renovating it fyi)
I WILL have a Le Creuset round dutch oven.
In red.
I just can't figure out if we need the 5 or 6 quart. Jo? Joke?
Too many pieces of our flatware have been roughed up in the disposal.
And I need a change -
These shall be mine.
We've needed new pillows (three of us) for a couple of years.
I won't publicly discuss the condition of the ones we have - suffice to say: when hotel pillows are more appealing than ones own, something must be done.
We are thinking of throwing a stay in a tower in Positano on the list of necessities too...

love the peacoat. want most things in the sundance catalogue. perhaps someday when they actually ave a size i could fit in...*sigh*
And the peacoat? How soon you forget;). You were going to track it down for us at a discount. Remember?
I have the Le Creuset pot (sorry, can't call it a Dutch oven, it makes me giggle uncontrollably like a 6 year old), in the larger size, in blue. I swear everything that I cook in it tastes better than it did in my manky old pots.
I'll have that holiday in Positano too thanks.
I love your posts like these because I can go off exploring web catalogues - an area in Oz we are SO far behind in.
Can we meet you in Positano?
I hear you on the pillows.
I'd add new linen - bedding and towelling to our list...
I crave a Le Creuset - get the bigger one.
There's a pottery barn stand that has coat hooks and baskets for storage adn the like - I'm trying to convince my FIL to build it for me. He keeps offering me money to buy something from Ikea instead. :(
And also I will have new pillows, but that will take more doing as I am extremely picky where pillows are concerned.
Have you considered space foam pillows? The first night I slept on mine I thought it was like a boulder but now I can't sleep without it.

Vox populi, vox dei. The 6 qt. is key. You will NEVER say "Damn! Look at all this extra capacity going to waste!" but you might say "ARGH! DAMMIT! Too small!"
Get the 6 qt.
I did.
(At the LC outlet. $29.99, because the knob was missing.)

The tower looks nice.
We also have a Le Creuset pot, a big one, but I don't know the size. Love it, Love it! Go for the biggest you can get, that's my motto (nudge, nudge, wink, wink).
-J.
The only reason to get the smaller one is if you would only rarely need a bigger size. I find that because they are so heavy, I always reach for the smallest one that will do the job. So for everyday cooking, if it were me, I'd get the smaller. For once-in-awhile gigantic braises etc., though, I sometimes long for a bigger one because I have to use 2 pots.
TMI??? Just trying to be helpful, LOL. Broadway Panhandler has good prices and selection, as does Zabar's. Nothing like 29.99, alas. xox Kay
