Perfect Fall Boots

Sugar Maple Boot, watercolor & ink, copyright Erin Rogers Pickering

The leaves are starting to fall, winds are picking up, the tops of trees are kissed with the first signs of gold, orange & red, and even the heat kicked on this morning!  Autumn is taking over and pushing out the last warm days of Indian Summer.

For me the season changes are all about the shoes, most times it comes down to - "Is it sandal weather or boot weather?"  (sometimes in the-between-the-season times I can be found wearing closed toe shoes, but without socks!)

So today with our morning temperature of 44 I was inspired to get my boots in order - and I am itching to wear them.  But, since we should see 70 by this afternoon I will surely be out and about in sandals. 

What to Wear Wednesday... Spice

Variety is the spice of life.  And - so are shoes!!


Preparing to ship a large order of 11x14 prints.  They looked so bright and lively spread out on the table - they just lit up the room!  My client will be selling these as framed prints... and they will certainly light up any space.


I hung a test print of one in my studio - and am loving having it here.

What to Wear... to the French Court

Thinking of dressing up as Marie Antoinette for Halloween!  I've never done it but would love to.  All those delicious clothes, shoes, wigs would be SO much fun!

What to Wear... Leaf Peeping

These boots were made for walking - these boots were made for Autumn!  
The leaves may still be green today but before I know it the rich, warm colors will be all around. And, most especially the spectacular, and very old, sugar maple in our yard.
I'll be standing by in my boots, with rake, camera and candy corn at the ready.


Happy Fall!

What to wear to the beach...

I know it is still February in New Jersey and the beach is a long way off... but the incredibly bright sunshine today has me dreaming of powder soft sand, turquoise water, and lazily collecting shells.


I put these towels in the kitchen today as I fantasize about summer.

What to Wear to a summer picnic...

Ok, so it is January in New Jersey and it continues to snow, and snow, and snow some more, but I am dreaming of summer picnics, bright warm sunshine, bbqs on the deck, icy drinks, and - refreshing, sweet watermelon wedges.

Not sure if its the thought of that juicy watermelon - or wearing these shoes, but my mouth is watering.

Happy Gluten Free New Year!

Wishing everyone a Sparkling, Joyful and HEALTHY New Year!!!

What to Wear after Labor Day...
