Fall is one of my favorite seasons, by far. I love when the leaves start to turn color; the cool breeze on my face; the smells of baking cookies, hot apple cider and pumpkin lattes; wearing comfy, knit sweaters; TV show season premieres; not to mention it's great sleeping weather. You can throw on a light sweater, a scarf, or in my case a faux fur collar with a classic button down and look polished and chic. But one other reason I look forward to Fall is that I can break out my tights. I have a huge collection of tights and I buy new ones every year. It's something I've been doing for years. I love to buy ones with different patterns, zig zags, stripes, polka dots, in fashion colors and whatever strikes my eye. These fun leopard tights are just another addition to my ever growing collection; I'm already thinking of the many ways to transition them into the coming winter months. They can turn an otherwise simple outfit and make it pop. Fashion should be fun. Don't take it too seriously.

The hubs and I had no set plans this past Saturday (very rare for us) and with the weather being the perfect picture of Fall, we opted to do one of our favorite activities - trek around the city in search of a great brunch spot. I normally populate my iPhone's Notes with a list of places to try out, and have had Clinton St. Baking Company on said list since I can remember. We've attempted to eat here a few times in the recent past but the restaurant's normal 1 1/2 hour wait never really agreed with our hungry bellies. This past weekend my craving for blueberry pancakes won out, so we bit the bullet, and headed to see what all the rave was about. They are known for the best blueberry pancakes in the city and let me just say, they totally live up to the hype and were so worth the wait! Their portions are very generous; Hubs had their drool-worthy Brioche French Toast so needless to say we didn't have an appetite until well into dinner time. The weather was perfect, the company was amazing, and my indigo colored denim fit the occasion perfectly.
