We love getting to put on warm boots, dressed up birkenstock inspired slide-ons and suede tennies (we had to include the always reasonable and chic checkered Vans slip on, which cost $50 rather than $500+ pictured next to). Here, we juxtapose beautiful fall food colors with items found while engaging in a little retail therapy.
Krystal Chang is a writer, architect, floral and landscape designer. She lives and works in Santa Monica, over the hill from where she grew up in the San Fernando Valley reading books for the food bits.
