A part of our exploring our new neighborhood landed us at Stagioni's the other night to celebrate Scott's birthday.  The restaurant group which owns Stagioni's comes with a lot of hype and I have to say that Stagioni's totally lived up to their name.  We noshed on pork belly meatballs, mussels, and scrumptious pastas.  Even Liam enjoyed the ambiance - which is a tall order for a wiggly toddler.



As I've alluded to, I'm itchy to break out the fall fabrics and so with just enough chill in the air, I grabbed this leather skirt, which continues to be a favorite in my closet.  Another love of mine are the silk blouses from JCrew; I have several iterations and I find them so versatile - from jeans to skirts and pretty much in all weather.
