A New Way To Walk

DSC_0128DSC_0127DSC_0156DSC_0143

Sometimes the vibe of an outfit is JUST RIGHT. It’s all about the moment– your mood, the weather, the motion of the day. All RIGHT!

I have to say that I’ve gotten loads of wear out of these flares and the options are limitless. They are the pant that keeps on giving. Be aware that they do run LONG, as in I always have to wear a heel with these– whether the outfit calls for sandals or boots.

And here’s my new-again camel coat. I absolutely love it when a piece of clothing goes from simply being cherished (as in it was a thing of the past) to becoming the thing you most reach for in your closet.

Here’s to shopping your closet, recycling your own wardrobe, and tweaking those classics you just wish you wore more often! Cheers to Thursday, friends!

Frozen Blues

Now when taking outfit photos we have started to play a game called “Find the Best Snow Heap”. Extra points for height, whiteness, and accessibility to the road. 🙂 This pile is my favorite so far!

These boyfriend jeans are a staple in my closet. Purchased on super sale at J.Crew nearly seven years ago, I reach for them constantly! I’ve been on the hunt for another pair as I am always afraid that ripped knee may give out entirely. Here are a few of my current favorites in the boyfriend denim realm: here, here, here, here, here.

I always dig denim on denim, especially when you can lux it up with leather extras. If I’m not mistaken this look takes us through a Tuesday that feels like a Monday! So hang in there, lovely readers!!! And Happy Tuesday.

Saturday Night Special

DSC_0157DSC_0154DSC_0118

We’ll be eating out as a family this Valentine’s day, but I couldn’t resist posting a date-night look for those of you who will be hitting the town tomorrow (or tonight).

It stands to reason that I always opt for the most unreasonable, unseasonable clothing for date nights. In this case, probably the skirt. You know what Cake says, “Short skirt, long jacket.”

And speaking of jackets, I’ve had this baby since college and I just gave her a refresh with all new buttons last week. What do you think? I’ve linked some other camel coats below in the details as this one’s time stamp makes it a true vintage piece.

May your Saturday be full of happiness!

I saw that L.A. was somewhere in the 80 and 90 degree range these past few weeks. WHAT?!? I realize it’s supposed to be cooling off for you all this week, but some of us who have sun with snow are still amazed.

Maybe one of the most difficult parts of winter is keeping your outerwear interesting. I’ve spoken about this before, but for me the solution to a coat that you reach for day after day in cold winter climates is COLOR.

This oxblood ultralight down hoody from Patagonia has been a lifesaver. The aubergine tone helps me mix and match it like a cardigan, and that Patagonia tech keeps me warm and toasty even on the days we hit sub zeros.

Huge fan, here, if you couldn’t tell– here are a couple similar posts regarding outerwear from last year around this time– here, and here. I’ve shopped some other fun outerwear options here: this, thisthisthis, this, this, save, save, save, save, save, save. A couple of those coats are some spring trench options I’ve been eyeing. But the rest are hard core warm plus hard core stylish. Perfect for sub zeros and all.

Have a glorious Thursday, friends!

Love Stripes, Love Leopard

Valentine’s dressing doesn’t have to be all hearts, kisses, pink-n-red. Why not just grab your personal favorites for a fun mash-up. Longtime stripe and leopard aficionado here!

Plus, white jeans are a fun way to Spring-ify an outfit, even if the coat you’re wearing still has to be lined in Thinsulate (yes, my coat is!!! Find it here).

I also received a fabulous cut from my stylist Micall Owens at Elevate Salon. She does an incredible job both with the cut and with the fact that I vacillate continuously between “let’s grow it out” and “let’s chop it all off”!

I went for “chop it off” this time, and I LOVE the results. What does this Tuesday hold for you? A haircut? A client meeting? A trip to Costco? A walk at the park? A carpool? Whatever your plans, I hope your day is GGGGGGGGREAT!
