I know I’m rushing you, but fall is right around the corner even if you can’t feel it. How much are you going to wish you had scooped up this ensemble, for a mere hundred and seventy-five bucks – including shoes – come September? Food for thought.

That’s right, I said the F word – in July. Probably because I awoke to rainy weather, in the mid-fifties, on July 6th in Hollywood. Unheard of. It’s something I go through every season, after the initial thisiswhatshotrightnow fashion hype dies down and I’m in the throes of mid-season barren sales racks and redundant looks. Regardless, check out this (super) early sneak peek for Fall 2010 – that rabbit shrug is my new boyfriend.

Klein Canvas and Naugahyde Tool Bag $54.96

Wally 'Day At The Beach' Board Shorts $57

Smith + Butler Trace Carrier Buckle Belt $88

Alternative Apparel Army Twill Mash Field Jacket $100

Bed Stu Black Earnest Lace Boot $148

Boy am I hearting these picks for the fashionable (or not so) Dad or dude! Even if he isn’t super handy, I cannot get enough of both the cost and chic factor of the Klein Canvas Bag (which could easily double as an overnight or carry-on) – unless of course it was the ‘aeriel view’ of the beach printed on those board shorts. How crazy cute?!

I’m thinking about the Smith + Butler belt for J (unread that J), since I’ve long been on the hunt for a black belt that could be either dressy or casual and doesn’t look like every other flatrectanglebrushedsteel piece of crap out there. The jacket is a classic no-brainer, and the boots? Let’s just say I first noticed them on my much younger, kinda (unbelievably) cute neighbor and shook him down for the detes. I’ve adored them ever since…

Newport News Black Satin Ankle Bootie $25

Yes, really. I went back to these on the Newport News site countless times, only to bail pre-Add-To-Cart thinking, “It’s freaking Newport News…” And then I’d go back. And then I got over myself. I figured that for twenty-five bucks (plus one of the eight skillion discounts codes they send you, which brought them down to like twenty-three, including shipping) if they completely suck I’ll just send them back, not to mention N.N. has been cropping up more and more in the ‘Editor’s Picks’ section of my mags.

So what gives? They’re actually pretty damn cute for what they are. Yes, they have the dreaded (in my world) black PVC bottoms, but it’s not like the upper part is vinyl – it’s satin and velvet. I must admit that I was pleasantly surprised when I removed them from the box, and even more so upon trying them on. Keepers from Newport News? Who knew…?

(Sidebar: There is an outside chance that between these and the numerous Target collabs, I’m potentially developing a creepy cheap shoe fetish. Perish the thought.)

Spool No. 72 'Flea Market' Dress $64

Amazing. This is the perfect summer dress for a myriad of reasons; sure it’s eyelet (let’s all beat a dead horse, shall we?) and reminds me of a pinafore dress that I had in the 70′s, but in a good ‘Virgin Suicides’ kind of way. The off-the-shoulder thing is huge too, making room for ethnic inspired beaded earrings and necklaces like this, and although your instinct may be to grab those metallic flat sandals of seasons past? I’d make this frilly frock a bit less precious with motorcycle or cowboy boots (yes, really). Too much? Try a brown or neutral colored chunky leather sandal…like these or their cheaper counterpart, these…

Thomas Wylde Skull-Studded Boots $1925

I don’t give a crap that summer is just around around the corner and these would make my feet sweat like William Hurt in Broadcast News. I don’t care that  for that money they could clean my house for twenty Saturdays in a row and do my laundry. I want them, and I would wear them proudly and oh-so-blissfully, year round, on my sweaty, broke-ass feet…

Aside from the fact that I kinda want to live here? The shoe selection is ridiculous (think Vivienne Westwood, Proenza Schouler, and Dries Van Noten). A must-see if you’re in NYC, but if not? Surf a little shoe porn in the meantime…
