Had my eye on this Gentle Fawn chambray jacket for some time now. And then couldn’t be happier when it arrived to perfectly timed Spring weather (amidst some colder days). Love the way this jacket served as a statement piece when paired against a simple white summer dress. Completed the look with neutral accessories, lace up flats, and gold-toned bohemian jewelry.
Enjoy your week xo

Never have been a huge celebrator of Valentines Day due to the belief that love should be celebrated every day. Although it is nice to have an excuse for an extra special night with your loved one. If you are celebrating V-Day, whether with your boo or besties, I’ve put together a look for Valentine’s night.
I tend to prefer pinks over reds, and so I’ve revived this vintage fuschia pink silk pussy bow blouse, styled with lace and flower print stockings. I kept the skirt to a minimalistic black mini so as not to detract from the detailing of the blouse or hosiery. And of course I had to layer a chunky knit cape to offset the delicates of the silk blouse, and added a statement knit headband to throw everything together. Hope you like the look, and find your own way to celebrate love in style.

Faux fur coat, H&M (old). Knit, Garage. Jeans, Flats, Zara. Clutch, c/o Pinkstix. Sunnies, Foster Grant. Ring, Samantha Wills.
Wearing a (what I will call vintage) faux fur coat from H&M. Styled with skinny jeans and lace up flats overtop a crochet crop layered over a long sleeve tee. I’ve had this coat for a very long time and only worn it a handful of times. But it’s a piece I’ve come to enjoy more over the years. Having learned the very hard way (and having lost some great vintage pieces along the way) that everything comes back into style. Therefore now I make it a habit to keep pieces and re-introduce them into my wardrobe when the time calls for it.
One of the things I like about recycling vintage pieces is having a unique garment amongst other mass produced items of their time. While still representing the season’s most coveted feature in your own unique way. One thing to keep in mind when purchasing said items (like say a faux fur coat or even OTK boots) is to capture the unique trend without going overboard. This will make your piece a timeless classic.
We took these photos after running errands downtown then stopping in for cappuccino at Liberty Village thanks to the Ritual app. Which kept us on schedule. Bypass the lineup with this little beauty and get straight to your coffee (or other treats as ordered) when you walk in.
