Stooped

St. Patrick's Day fell on a Sunday this year -- which means I sort of forgot about any sort of celebration.  But I was pleasantly surprised when as I walked out of the apartment I noticed I was wearing quite a bit of green without even realizing it (I had a green shirt on under my coat as well)! Unfortunately I spent the rest of the day doing less than celebratory things (work and chores and other Sunday sort of things) -- but at least I was wearing green!

Welcome back, Spring!  I'm ready for you to warm up the weather anytime.

Season's Greetings

Made it up to the North Country in time for Christmas (and promptly changed my shoes, skirt, gloves and lack of hat!).  It's been a true white Christmas - complete with multiple snow sports and lots of food and family.  Here's to wishing you and yours a wonderful and happy holiday season!

XOXO, Sarah and Sam

Seeing Red

I love pairing these pants with easy, classic pieces.  Since bright red pants can be a bit loud so toning them down with white and blue kept things weekend appropriate.

A down vest is the perfect solution for days that are cool but not cold enough for a winter jacket.

I mean...Chanel goes with everything, right?

I've slowly been unpacking my winter accessories - including my favorite red leather gloves.

I have to wear my highest shoes with these pants (since they're so long).  Hidden heels - an excellent trick to looking extra tall!

Such a beautiful day in a beautiful spot.

Sea Side

We made our annual trek to Cape Cod to spend Thanksgiving with family.  It's a nice change to visit the beach without worrying about bathing suits or sun screen.  It was beautiful and peaceful.  A nice long walk on the beach was perfect for working up an appetite.

This was my go-to jacket for the weekend.  Not too warm, not too cold and easy to layer.  The perfect jacket for weather that can't decide if it wants to be fall or winter.

I'm still figuring out exactly how to manage my (not so new anymore) bangs.  It's been a fun challenge. An easy way to change things up without losing overall length - something I'm definitely not ready for!

I layered a sheer polka-dot shirt over a chambray button down.  It made for a subtle pattern play.

The polka dots on this shirt are velvet!  It's such a cool and unexpected 3-D take on an old favorite.

It was great to enjoy a peaceful view before the hustle and bustle of the holiday season set in.

Autumn

It was totally by accident that my outfit ended up perfectly matching my background!  The foliage in upstate New York was absolutely beautiful the last time I was up there.   Can't beat these views!

Casual Details

I tend to keep it pretty casual on the weekends - especially if I am spending the weekend outside of the city.  That doesn't stop me from mixing in some fun details to keep an otherwise simple outfit interesting.

It was pretty chilly all weekend so I kept my vintage army jacket on hand whenever I was outside.

I dressed up my striped thermal and cashmere sweater with a fabric flower pin.  Super simple and pretty.

I have been wearing these jeans a lot lately.  I love the zipper and moto-style details.

This polka dot hat has become a favorite.  I love how adds a bit of whimsey to any outfit.

Tasseled loafers in a fun forest green color rounded out the look.  And they matched my surroundings quite nicely!

Breezy

Using the remnants of an old dress that didn't fit quite right, I made a super easy and comfortable skirt. The flower pattern worked quite nicely with a casual grey tee for the weekend.  It was super hot again, so I kept accessories to a minimum.

In retrospect, I might advise to think twice about wearing a short, flippy skirt on a breezy day!

Candy Color

After a great weekend visiting a friend in North Carolina, I was happy to spend Sunday afternoon enjoying the Brooklyn waterfront.

I found this necklace while in NC.  I love how the chains are all different colors.  I thought it worked nicely with my polka dot shirt.

I love these untraditional, candy colored polka dots.

Boots are my go to for cooler weather months.  These shoes are great because they have the feel of booties, but the cut outs make them much more manageable for hotter months.

It was great to be back in Brooklyn!

Mad Hatter

Being that we're getting close to the end of "winter," I've been on the look out for alternatives to the usual knit caps.  I found this hat in a little shop outside of Bodega Bay, California.

I've had to restrain myself from wearing this belt every single day, I've got it down to about every other.  It adds such a great pop of color, especially among neutral, safe colors.

They weren't selling these Target boots online, I had my sister keep a lookout for them at her local Target.  I was lucky that she found them - and they were on sale!

The women who sold me this hat told me I looked like an Amish school girl.  I'm pretty sure she meant it as a compliment (...I think).  I couldn't resist the challenge of making it work.

Though I may wait for a slightly less windy day for the next outing.

After a warm weekend in California and a warmer than usual week in NYC - it was back to winter jackets and layers on a cold and blustery day.  But I know Spring isn't too far off at this point!
