A Walk in the Park

Every once in a while a Brooklyn girl makes it out to Manhattan (on the weekend). This day in Central Park, my location wasn't the only thing a bit topsy-turvy.

Feminine florals paired so sweetly with the ultimate in "boyfriend" jeans: hand-me-downs from my husband.

This sweater is definitely a Mister, but he didn't seem to mind taking a stroll with two ladylike patterns.

Gotta make the socks worth a look if you're gonna show 'em. I loved the contrast between this cozy Fair Isle-esqe pattern and the patent leather shine of the shoes.

Along with mixing masculine vs feminine pieces, I combined a variety of textures and patterns.

A slouchy silhouette with heels and enough color to keep things interesting—it all came together for an easy and playful weekend look.

Happy Holidays!

Merry Christmas from the north country!  The Adirondacks were kind enough to order up a White Christmas.  Took advantage of a bit of downtime and sunlight to get out for a Christmas Eve walk.  This is my favorite place in the world.  Gathering with family in a special place makes for a pretty perfect holiday season.

 Layers are a must, temperatures didn't go far above the teens all day.

 I stole the scarf from my husband, super soft and great colors!

 Warm hats are a necessity.

 Bean Duck boots.  Adirondack staple.

May your days be merry and bright.  And may all your Christmases be white!

Happy holidays to all (whatever you may celebrate!)!

POP!

I love an unexpected pop of color or pattern, whether on the side of a building, bright lipstick, stitching on a scarf, lining of a jacket, or on a pair of socks sticking out of a pair of boots.  Adds a bit of something to an otherwise mono-chromatic ensemble...or overcast afternoon.
