Trend: Boat Shoes in the Fall

Falmouth Boat Shoe 

Just because summer is over does not mean it is time to put those boat shoes away! Boat shoes are the perfect finishing touch on any of the current menswear-inspired fall looks and are easy to transition into the fall season!

Pair with a chunky grandpa sweater like the Nightfall Zip Cardigan and fun socks for a cozy feel!

For a layered look, wear with a tee, cardigan, your fav boyfriend jeans and a blazer like our Pendleton Josephine Blazer or Zane Leather Lapel Blazer!

Style Inspiration: Downton Abbey

I fell in love with the show Downton Abbey during Hurricane Sandy . It made my few days trapped in the house fly by. The costumes are unbelievable! I want to watch the episodes again just to take pictures of all my favorite outfits. 


The show’s fashion has received so much attention that its fashion designer, Susannah Buxton, was nominated for an Emmy Award this year. Anna Wintour has given the show her seal of approval; and even Pippa Middleton is a fan, visiting the set with her parents last season for a guided tour. “I explained to her that the costume tries to reflect personality and class of each character, and she was really interested,” Buxton says.
