late autumn light

Those who celebrated: was your Thanksgiving good?  Mine was very nice.  This Thomas Keller leek bread pudding was my favorite part of the meal (along with leftover turkey/cranberry sandwiches).   

Our friend Stephani came to visit, and we checked out the very cool Warrington Colescott exhibit at the Grand Rapids Art Museum.  I love this wool cape Stephani is wearing...it didn't come from Small Earth Vintage, but her shoes did.  My outfit is all old stuff, but the vintage fur collar and gray wool jacket are newer acquisitions.  

I love how the light and shadows looked outside the museum on the afternoon we were there.

You'll see in the next photo why we look all squinty here.  The fur collar is (only partially) due to my Game of Thrones obsession.  We spent the holiday drinking Manhattans and watching GoT, which Stephani hadn't seen.  I was in nerd heaven.

Speaking of Game of Thrones and fashion (well, hipsters, anyway)...

Goodness, I love Hipster Jon Snow!

house of stark a/w 2011

Ha ha ha!  That title is a Game of Thrones inside joke.  Did you House Stark fans freak out when you read it?  Well, now is the time of year when I start to think about about fall and winter fashion.  And of course, the HBO's production of Game of Thrones has been one of my big inspirations. That's Arya Stark, my favorite character, above.

The women of House Stark are an obvious choice, since, as residents of Winterfell in the North they wear lots of layers, fur, and amazing cloaks.

Pet wolves make nice accessories.  Sansa is kind of an annoying brat, but I love the neckline on this dress.

Here are some looks from this year's autumn and winter collections that I'm liking.
