falling and laughing

This collection has been posted by everyone and their grandma's pet goldfish, but I've waited until now to gush over how obsessed I am with Alexa Chung for Madewell because it's a) seasonally appropriate and b) available beginning this week (Sept 9). I love and would wear everything here, as the collection is not too juvenile in it's sweetness nor lacking in sexier short hems I am fond of. My favorite piece is the brown velvet dress which looks so cozy I might be tempted to hibernate in it all winter.

Similar to half the universe, I really love a lot of what Alexa Chung wears. I try not to reblog much of this type of thing simply because a million others do it better than me, but those velvet shorts (part of her amazing collection for Madewell) are too good for words. It saddens me that such fabrics all but disappear in warm weather, though perhaps these floral booties could remedy that.
