All About Olive

Fall is my favorite season, by far. There are so many things I love about this time of year. From the crispness in the air, which demands a re-assessment of our wardrobe (Hello, boots and scarves!), to the always-mesmerizing color changes. More than any other, this season reminds me to embrace change.

As I was thinking about a collection for fall I became somewhat fixated on olive hues. I was seeing them everywhere! The trees began their annual change from muted greens to golden, and I found myself subconsciously incorporating that ombré effect into my designs. Olive also seemed the perfect accompaniment to the fall fashions I was lusting after. So, in the end, this collection truly is "All About Olive".
