</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"> in all honesty, part of me has missed having this space. it feels great to have left behind the pressures of posting, but my eye keeps catching things that i want to share. not sure this will be a return to the blog, but i thought i would post a few of the ensembles that have caught my eye. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"> color blocking is obviously very on-trend, and has been for quite awhile, and there are a number of pairings that i think have been done again and again in editorials and on the runway. above are a few outfits that i thought reinterpreted the color blocking trend. a pale shade of coral and dark shade of green? who would have thought? these pairings have all made me rethink some of my own pieces and i hope they do the same for you. now is the time to try the partnering of colors you may never have thought to couple before.</div><div style="text-align: center;">what colors do you love together?</div>wileyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10033944575965693275noreply@blogger.com16tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1848564667654871763.post-90200668125413029292011-09-29T21:45:00.000-04:002011-09-29T21:45:53.901-04:00style scout: friday date night.<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjm_24SOKbARX69Xg31cXtRnxzbSYNqrJcuLbF7iCBfwDuU2H3ul52P9Hqm0nLaTBpzjHzLu_9Q2zqUK2sN3F6LG23lNZ3hj2nyrID3HHNdMJTwNflUwJTm8Wo2cyOcSmVZ8i0r_e9iy9rx/s1600/110819cableknitminidress.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjm_24SOKbARX69Xg31cXtRnxzbSYNqrJcuLbF7iCBfwDuU2H3ul52P9Hqm0nLaTBpzjHzLu_9Q2zqUK2sN3F6LG23lNZ3hj2nyrID3HHNdMJTwNflUwJTm8Wo2cyOcSmVZ8i0r_e9iy9rx/s640/110819cableknitminidress.jpg" width="420" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgwECZdsAyUOPmbQXR34Vytepcg3iWZG2fBtUv5r0FKruDeKHjS_AGL9P6UrgrplzIcDQ5uu-14q48VvAhWxgsdd2tGYWBWkUF9poUTkotjXy6D1_U3FzrlFt7MaonG6-ay0ZQ5THr4bPAJ/s1600/198058386_4TJv2uDe_c.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgwECZdsAyUOPmbQXR34Vytepcg3iWZG2fBtUv5r0FKruDeKHjS_AGL9P6UrgrplzIcDQ5uu-14q48VvAhWxgsdd2tGYWBWkUF9poUTkotjXy6D1_U3FzrlFt7MaonG6-ay0ZQ5THr4bPAJ/s640/198058386_4TJv2uDe_c.jpg" width="424" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi2MU_OwXuCR-yTZGKR48cieoP_PftLCw2fmLn61bPrMSSiSUHhKXIa7rvl67B6EG8jkbv71zbq_iMJQRPhx5mb3hV8fHdgGQS-RpUGsuve9iDGxhbNmhZNGOep1s15oga26yXlF8Mp2a2T/s1600/213973762_7Ncnav4G_c.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi2MU_OwXuCR-yTZGKR48cieoP_PftLCw2fmLn61bPrMSSiSUHhKXIa7rvl67B6EG8jkbv71zbq_iMJQRPhx5mb3hV8fHdgGQS-RpUGsuve9iDGxhbNmhZNGOep1s15oga26yXlF8Mp2a2T/s640/213973762_7Ncnav4G_c.jpg" width="426" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh3NZOO6V9XS9keTHnyodMUYzPBQxrTXVn3GM5z_61J0rKEhXCBu8HyhNR0iqMTX69OiWYdjjTJT0hfkvdZ64o0ieP9nmQNjwSln6ii9KhcOJGdjOWwO7WzJOtU2DN5mShlU6nUJcGsHPhM/s1600/Franziska1-488x735.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh3NZOO6V9XS9keTHnyodMUYzPBQxrTXVn3GM5z_61J0rKEhXCBu8HyhNR0iqMTX69OiWYdjjTJT0hfkvdZ64o0ieP9nmQNjwSln6ii9KhcOJGdjOWwO7WzJOtU2DN5mShlU6nUJcGsHPhM/s640/Franziska1-488x735.jpg" width="424" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiHnYUs2XwS6wlajsKml4XpcN9VXFSzUJR_1MG6gTJempFyS8dsMTnKSUXjDjUNj88G3E57ydDXrgO2b7X0Hcz_WRwyf3Rokht5c6ioNOvABP55P-AmEcJ44JcmZVaTlKMRgTWHeknj-owm/s1600/104239_1288364263.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiHnYUs2XwS6wlajsKml4XpcN9VXFSzUJR_1MG6gTJempFyS8dsMTnKSUXjDjUNj88G3E57ydDXrgO2b7X0Hcz_WRwyf3Rokht5c6ioNOvABP55P-AmEcJ44JcmZVaTlKMRgTWHeknj-owm/s640/104239_1288364263.jpg" width="426" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://www.fashionising.com/pictures/b--cable-knit-mini-dress-9202.html">1. cable knit mini dress, cheetah print belt and heels, leather clutch</a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://www.refinery29.com/ny-fashion-week-street-style/slideshow#slide-4">2. vintage navy blazer, plaid top, skinny jeans, structured rucksack</a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://nymag.com/daily/fashion/2011/09/london_fashion_week_street_style.html#photo=25x00018">3. red pleated skirt, white camisole, nude blazer, cheetah print loafers</a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://thelocals.dk/berlin-berlin-2/">4. structured mini, loose cotton tee, silver beaded necklace, ankle boots</a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://www.stylecaster.com/fashion/street-style/9704/paris-street-style-leather-jacket#109332">5. leather bomber, white tee, neutral maxi skirt, vintage leather tote</a></div><div style="text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: left;"> fall is the one season that i think i love being in love the most. i adore both ends of the autumn spectrum; cozy nights indoors and exciting outdoor adventures. walking around the city on fall evenings is the absolute best, so i thought it only made sense to pick some outfits for my favorite fall activity. friday date nights. after a long week of work it feels great to throw on something a little extra special and hit up a local favorite spot for dinner and wine.</div><div style="text-align: left;"> i wanted to pick looks that could easily transition from a day at the office to a night on the town. each of these outfits could evolve from day to night with the right shoes or accessories. i lean towards more feminine pieces for nights out with jeb, so skirts and dresses are a must. i will admit that the second look has me inspired to try some dressier looks with jeans. </div><div style="text-align: left;"><br />

(the sentences are long, the characters quite unlikeable and the attempts at telling a fluid story are sometimes lacking.) i have to agree with most of these ascertains, but in the end i did find myself connecting to two of the main characters..although it did feel too late in the game to really change my mind after abhorring these same two characters for the most of the book. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><i>the solitude of prime numbers</i> by pablo giordano ::: another novel about teen angst and another book i was warned i may find depressing. in this novel's sadness was a great deal of beauty. the book begins with chapters describing the events that stunt mattia and alice's psychological growth and ability to connect with others. jumping ahead to their awkward teenage years, mattia and alice become close friends, forming an alliance over their childhood experiences. the novel follows the two from childhood to adulthood and explores the way the two characters can never escape their circumstances. giordano's background in mathematics shines through the novel, as mattia is a mathematical genius, but it never became too abstract for a 'words girl' like me. i really enjoyed this novel and though giordano did a wonderful job of fleshing out the two main characters so that the reader feels their shared pain.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br />

<i>the art of racing in the rain</i> by garth stein ::: i would not describe myself as a 'dog person.' don't get me wrong, i love dogs, especially duncan and molly, but i typically don't pick up novels about dogs, and most definitely not novels told from the perspective of a dog. i absolutely loved this book. it was equal parts sweet and funny and equal parts sad and thoughtful. stein does an incredible job of writing through the eyes of enzo, the lovable pet of the swift family. i may never look at a dog the same way again. (i compare these feelings to those i felt after reading <i>watership down</i>.) i encourage anyone who is an animal lover to pick this book up. i don't want to give away a second of this sweet read.<br />
<br />
<i>everything changes</i> by jonathan tropper ::: my obsession with jonathan tropper continues. by the end of fall i will have completed all of his novels and i can already see that i will be left craving more. i see that tropper is often compared to nick hornby, and i do agree with this to a certain extent, although i think that tropper is quite a bit more witty, and says the things that hornby never would. if you are a hornby fan, i would say give tropper a try. <i> everything changes</i> sticks to what tropper is great at; telling the story of a messed-up man in his early thirties. zack king's life is crumbling around him and hilarious hijinks ensue. zack's family and best friends are one hysterical cast of characters who keep the laughs coming, but still feel very relatable because they each face their own struggles. i fell in love with zack like i do with each of tropper's main characters. his struggles and triumphs are told through a voice that sounds so much like someone i've known my entire life. if you aren't on the tropper bandwagon yet, it's time.wileyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10033944575965693275noreply@blogger.com4tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1848564667654871763.post-82469274622140183762011-09-20T20:11:00.000-04:002011-09-20T20:11:40.326-04:00jean jacket.<div class="separator" style="clear: both;

<i>one day</i> by david nicholls ::: the novel that everyone has been talking about. i read this after lin texted me over and over again as she read, completely in love with the book. i have to say that i really did love this novel, and especially the way nicholls writes about the same date each day for twenty years. it gives a great perspective on emma and dexter, the book's protagonists. i'll admit that for the first few chapters i felt as though i had a lot in common with emma. (i later came to realize she is a much better person than i am. ha.) the way the conversation between these two very different individuals evolves over two decades is beautiful and well thought out. i think nicholls did a great job of writing from dual perspectives while showing the changes of one's personality as they move through their lives. this is a love story, a comedy, and mostly, a type of tragic tale. i would liken this to 'when harry met sally,' but with more heart and a little less curly hair.<br />
<br />
<i>who will run the frog hospital?</i> by lorrie moore ::: do i admit when i really didn't enjoy a book? i think since this is my personal forum, i can be honest. i didn't <i>love</i> this book. i didn't stop reading it either, but my feelings are still up in the air. i found moore's writing to be a bit to descriptive and i left the book without either having any real feelings about either of the main characters. perhaps if i had similar experiences to the two teenage girls the novel focuses on, my feelings may be different. in general i found the storyline to be disconnected: a grown woman in paris realizes her marriage is a failure and remembers the days she spent with her wild bestfriend in her teens. i don't think i quite understood how one brought up the other. i will say that i loved the references to a place called storyland, which sounds a heck of a lot like storyland in new hampshire.<br />

i've decided to do a 'wily wiley reads' post once a week and focus on two books, rather than four. i think this will give me an opportunity to do what i love a little more often. i always look forward to all of the recommendations you all give me, so i think getting those more often will be excellent as well.<br />
<br />
<i>the disappeared</i> by kim echlin ::: i think this is one of the best love stories i have read in a long time. also one of the saddest and most difficult to read. set during the cambodian genocide, echlin tells the story of a young canadian girl and a cambodian musician. when the cambodian border opens up again serey decides to return and find out what has become of his family. anne stays behind and for eleven years hears nothing from the man she loves. eventually anne realizes that she cannot live without serey and travels to cambodia to search for him and reclaim the love she has lost. this novel was incredibly moving and it made we want to do some further reading on what happened in cambodia in the 1970s. highly recommend.<br />
<br />
<i>my name is memory</i> by ann brashares ::: another love story of sorts. this one is a bit confusing, and it took me a little while to wrap my head around the plot. in <i>my name is memory</i>, the concept is that every person has lived multiple lives. the catch; only a few remember these past lives. daniel remembers his past lives and in each one he has been in love with sophia. set in modern day, sophia is now a teenage girl named lucy. daniel's goal is to remind lucy of her past lives and make her fall in love with him again. the story travels through the many lives of daniel and lucy and i really enjoyed the constant changes of scenery. this is apparently the first novel in a trilogy and i will definitely be reading the second and thrid novel.<br />

</div><div style="text-align: left;"> i wanted to compile a few of my favorite looks for fall into a new series called 'style scout'. i have been missing a weekly feature and all the fabulous inspiration it brings. after all the time i've spent sending inspiration to friends and family for different occasions, i thought i would bring some of that fun to my blog. each week i will pick an event or trip and focus on a few pieces of inspiration to show you the things that i would wear. i'd love to hear if you have any sartorial conundrums.<br />
above are six looks that incorporate pieces that are easy to come by, many that i already own, and a few new pieces that need to make their way into my wardrobe a.s.a.p! (i'm talking about those gorgeous bell bottoms!) i picked looks that would be perfect for those upcoming autumn weekends spent in the city. if you've been struggling to find transitional pieces for fall, follow the lists above and you'll be outfitted like a pro in no time.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />

<i>the book of joe</i> by jonathan tropper ::: joe is a writer. joe writes a bestseller about his small hometown and then tries to avoid said hometown for life. unfortunately for joe, his father gets sick and he has to return to a town who's secrets he turned into millions. jonathan tropper is quickly becoming my favorite author. this was the second book of his that i have gotten the chance to read and i cannot say enough good things about his writing style, humor and character development. this book made me laugh out loud and cry even more loudly. please go read this. i'm already waiting for another of his books to arrive in the mail this week.<br />
<br />
<i>drowning ruth</i> by christina schwarz ::: if you like stories of messy family tragedies with a bit of a pyschological thriller thrown in, then this book may be for you. schwarz does a wonderful job of creating characters who, while often mysterious, are also likable. the novel describes the mystery behind the death of amanda's younger sister, mathilde. with twists and turns i promise you won't figure out what is going to happen next.<br />
<br />
<i>the happiness project</i> by gretchen rubin ::: wow, i loved this book. beyond just reading rubin's own story on her year working towards personal happiness, i found so my great bits of information and happiness-inducing ideas. her own journey made me recognize some of the traits i see in myself, that might be changed for a more peaceful existence. reading this book made me want to be a better daughter, friend, partner and sister. if you're having a week where you're feeling down, pick this up.<br />
<br />
<i>the tipping point</i> by malcolm gladwell ::: here's another that's been on the shelves and bestseller lists for years. i, of course, only got to read it last week. i had a lot of ideas about what this book would look like and i had heard a lot of things, both good and bad. gladwell's book is built around case studies. from airwalks, to hushpuppies, or teenage suicide in micronesia to teenage cigarette smoking in the u.s. gladwell offers a great deal of information on all these topics and describes the exact moment when something becomes a trend or fad as "the tipping point." for those of you interested in psychology, i think you'll find gladwell's theories fascinating.<br />
<br />
i thought i'd start the week out with some book reviews and do an outfit post tomorrow. hopefully that rain will stop long enough for me to get in a few good shots. i also have two more wily wiley reads posts coming up, but i think i'll stick to just one a week. i'd love to hear your thoughts on what you like best of the blog. i am going to be changing content just a bit, and would love your input.<br />
