will travel for Fall

The Daily Doodle: Is it bootie-time yet? The never ending summer in Southern California means I'm still in flip-flops semi-eagerly awaiting a fall wardrobe change. Brussel sprouts, butternut squash soup, baked apples, fresh figs, and pumpkin bread have all made it into our lives... but bikinis reign over the wetsuit still. I'm not complaining. Louboutin Egoutina 70 Spiked Suede Knee Boots above.
