Opa Gingham Style

Posted on February 27, 2013 by soanthro

Lauren Puffer Vest, Lilly Pulitzer // Gingham Shirt, Vineyard Vines // Jeans, American Eagle // Starfish Headband, Vineyard Vines // Bracelets, Lilly Pulitzer; Kiel James Patrick, Alex & Ani // Desert Boots, Wild Diva [similar]

Pink puffer vest strikes again! Bright pinks like this and cheery blue gingham like this are the only things getting me through this horrid winter (ie. the only days it’s not snowing it’s raining with 40 mph wind instead). I’m looking forward to spring more than I can express in words, so right now I’ll let the vibrant colors and picnic-ready patterns do the talking…!

Nemo has come and gone. It wasn’t all fun + games but we survived and even got to enjoy some snowy playtime once the blizzard winds died down :) Hope you all stayed safe + warm throughout the storm!

Buttons and Bows

Evie Dress, Lilly Pulitzer // Cardigan, J.Crew [similar] // Pearls, Lauren Ralph Lauren [similar] // Bow, American Apparel // Rope bracelet, Kiel James Patrick // Boots, Lauren Ralph Lauren [similar]

If this isn’t my personal style wrapped up into an outfit, I’m not sure what is. A whimsy printed dress, navy blue + kelly green color combo, pearls, bows, and Lilly? If my life were an occupation, this would be the uniform.

après-ski

Posted on February 1, 2013 by soanthro

I’m not much of a skier, yet all winter I’ve been itching to get away up North and spend a weekend in a cozy ski town. Bundling up by the fire in a snowy lodge? That is one great think New England winters have to offer as severance pay…!

[ Lauren Puffer Vest, Lilly Pulitzer, $188 ]
[ Hastelow Lounge Leggings, Jack Wills, $49.50 ]
[ A Good Ternion Bag, ModCloth, $33 ]
[ All The Trimmings Hinged Bangle, Kate Spade, $78 ]

Have you been skiing yet this winter?

LWD

Posted on January 16, 2013 by soanthro

Last week we talked LBDs, but this week it’s Little White Dresses I have on my mind.

When the weather is warm, I just love slipping into easy breezy little white dresses [see here and here for past instances!]. Until summer hits, many choose to avoid white, though I fully believe LWDs can certainly still work in chillier months. I’ve seen a ton about winter white lately, and I’m a huge advocate for it, especially in dress form. A higher neckline, purer shade of crisp snow white, and wintery details all help with winter LWD’s case. French Connection has an overwhelming supply of women’s dresses, and I’ve pulled a few of my favorites.

Arabelle Jersey Dress // Gigliolia Moments Dress // Crystalised Cotton Dress

And at the same time, it is January. Which means we are in the deepest part of winter and yet the fashion world is busy thinking about way warmer temperatures! So for dreaming of months ahead…

Denise Crepe Dress // Lisellla Lace Shift Dress // Summer Bug Collar Dress

Are you a fan of winter white, or do you prefer to wait until Labor Day?

New England was blessed with a very mild winter last year, with really our only snowstorm being on Halloween(!). This year though, I’m ready for the snow– bring on the crunch under my boots and the layers of sweaters to stay warm!

Of Wolves and Knits

Posted on December 13, 2012 by soanthro

I’m still a teensy bit obsessed with pretty much any and all clothes // accessories sporting animal motifs. And while none of these knits are obviously holiday-themed, they all just seem so appropriate for this time of year. Pair a warm animal-printed jumper with leggings, boots, and hot chocolate, and you’ve got yourself a perfect winter wonderland look.

(1) Miss Selfridge, $65
(2) Warehouse, $80
(3) ModCloth, $100 [in red]
(4) Modcloth, $75
(5) Topshop, $100

(7) Jack Wills, $148
(8) Jack Wills, $128

And while we’re on the subject of cozy knits, can we talk about the never-ending selection of knitware from online retailer Warehouse? I want to curl up in these jumpers and cardigans and not come out until it has reached at least 60 degrees again. Crushing on these gold buttons, striped sleeves, and fairisle.
