Fall Prep with the Tannery Continued....

The makings of a fun afternoon with my new besties YSL and Sea.

Mackage jacket/vest, ALC top, Alexander Wang skirt with Rag and Bone boots. Yes please.

The delightful Talal, half of the brotherly duo behind the Tannery.

It's a jacket. No wait, it's a vest. Double your pleasure for one investment piece.

My back against the wall. Wearing under.ligne dress, 

Etten Eller nekclace and Jimmy Choo heels.

My big tattoo reveal! Brownie points to anyone who knows the artist and painting!

Last but not least, the lovely Brittney Rothweiler, Tannery buyer and chic lady about town.

The Tannery started in retail roughly 40 years ago, initially providing footwear to well healed Bostonians. Fast forward to today- the burgeoning empire now includes new locations in Harvard Square, downtown, the Concepts store, as well as the original locations on Boylston and Cambridge. I love to shop and support local, and best of all this is a family business folks, run by the visionary and ever stylish brothers, Talal and Tarek.

For those of us who have shopped the Tannery long enough (ahem, I won't reveal just how long I have been shopping there), you will have noticed the subtle transition from our basic Clarks to our shiny, heeled favourites Jimmy Choo and YSL. I welcome them with open arms.

I would be remiss not to mention the new labels they have been steadily stocking for clothing: Porter Grey, Opening Ceremony, Surface to Air and Edun to name drop a few more.

Yes, I confess I did take something home with me from the shoot, and no it wasn't the Jimmy Choos, though goodness they were a temptation I had to resist! I ventured back and picked up a pair of Sea pants, in the same print and style as the jumpsuit. I had a moment of sensibility, rare to me, and thought they might see more action than the full jumpsuit......while coming in well under budget from those Choos (something husband appreciates).

What are you favourite items from the shoot?
