If, like me, you’ve noticed a change when strolling by a Gap storefront, you are witnessing the rebranding or reenergizing (as in returning to the very iconic and diverse identity the store achieved 40+ years ago). And if, like me, you were drawn into the store, you would not be disappointed with the quality of fit, the feel of fabrics, and the same price-value you remember from years ago when you last shopped there. “Fashion is entertainment. It’s also art, innovation, and culture,” says Richard Dickson, the current CEO. I could not agree more. Having Zac Posen, coming directly from his success with Barbie, leading the creative future for Gap is another big win for the company. So, how about it? Dare to venture back inside everyone’s favorite store from eons ago, not necessarily for the khakis, but certainly for a super comfortable “feels like Gap” moment.

New York Fashion Week might be winding down, but we are still digesting images of the gorgeous textures of Nanette Lepore’s collection, Anna Sui’s brilliantly blended era’s of the 40s and the 70s, the feathers of Marchesa’s embroidered gowns, Jason Wu’s reinvented suits and Michael Kors’ Fall line which reflects a new maturity with his posh patterns and relaxed styling.

Autumn is upon us, with flooding sunshine and falling leaves and dropping temperatures. This is a favorite time of year because of the blast of color and treats of harvest, after all, who doesn’t love all shades orange or every apple recipe? As I moved summer lightweights to the back of my closet and woolen garments to the front, I made another adjustment, the shift from sandals to boots! Perhaps more than ever boots are everywhere, from the runway to the street, lace-up to zip-up, ankle height to over-the-knee, suede to shiny and in every hue. For this shoot, I dug up a favorite pair from last year and donned new favorites, but each one is a walkable boot–my main criteria. After all, we need to keep moving with all this brilliance around us! Joined by my kitty we danced about in the foliage for a brilliant afternoon.
