On Wednesday I went downtown to check out the new fall arrivals at the beautiful shops A Mano and Tulip, and I fell head over heels in love! Just walking in the door of each store filled me with glee about the change in season. Rich, heavy fabrics, deep, dark colors; I couldn’t have been happier. Two of my favorites were from the lineLoeffler Randall- these “Lux”  black and taupe python flats at A Mano and this wool fraulein dress at Tulip knocked me off my feet. They are both officially on my wish list!

Another thing I loved seeing was the fall trend of gray, gray, gray. It has such a look of sophistication and tailoring, but with a little edge of toughness at the same time. Brilliant! Here are some of my favorite gray looks from the fall runways on Style.com.
