Not So Fast — Summer is Still Here!

Our weather got very exciting, aka cooler, and I was loving throwing on a sweater in the evening. Considering we’re still “in summer” even though Labor Day Weekend has passed, it was premature for me to think that it would stay cooler. Sure enough, the heat and humidity came back with a vengeance and it’s back-to-summer wear. 

We are fortunate though that we get to experience all four seasons in Alexandria. As we draw closer to October, our thoughts turn to fall and all it has to offer. One way to add a little fall flavor to your outfits is with jewelry. Julie Vos introduced tortoise shell pieces and Capucine de Wulf has incorporated teak with gold. There are also pieces with deep labradorite blue which go with everything. See the gallery:

You can also add fall flare to your interior with darker colors and  warm brass:

Let’s enjoy the last days of summer (we have until Sunday, September 22!) and visit us at Patina to get ready for all the fall festivities!

Patina Polished Living was created 10 years ago by friends Amanda Mertins and Kimberly Weiler. 

Amanda Mertins was born in Ohio and graduated the University of Maryland with a degree in Economics. She started moving and editing furniture and accessories while in grade school and hasn’t stopped since. She enjoys baking desserts and playing with her grandchildren.

Kim Weiler was born in Pennsylvania and graduated the University of the Arts with a degree in graphic design. Upon graduating, she was immediately hired by one of her professors at the Katz Wheeler Design firm. She loves design, gardening, sweet tea and all French bulldogs.

Amanda and Kim are excellent complements to one another-one could even say the Yin and Yang of design. Being very different people but with interconnected forces is the reason their partnership continues to flourish.
