Short-Sleeved Sweater







I got a manicure on vacation, a rarity indeed, it's been like 5 years(!!!!) since my last one. 
This is a scarf/vest hybrid type of garment, last seen here. 






jacket-Mikkat Marget(similar here), sweater-BCBG via Le Tote, scarf-BCBG(similar here), pants-Gap, necklace-Forever 21(similar here), watch-Nixon via Urban Outfitters, ring-Jewel Mint bracelet-Le Tote
Yes, this is the same jacket from yesterday's post, BUT that doesn't mean I wore it for two outfits in a row. Come on, I'm no outfitting amateur over here. Anyway, I love the idea of a short-sleeved sweater for fall, great for wearing under jackets and blazers without feeling too bulky, and even though this was a Le Tote piece I've decided to keep it. I'm thinking it would work well over LBDs and button-down shirts later in the season. 

 Also, I think this fall is going to be strong on black, white, grey, and beige for me. I've been reading about this season's trends and there's an emphasize on metallic florals and rave prints, but I'm not feeling it. Instead I plan on riding my normcore wave a bit longer leaning toward more neutral and minimalist looks.  

 What are you outfitting plans for Fall '14?

40 Year Old Cottagecore

  dress-Anthropologie(more options here ), sunnies- DIFF Eyewear , necklace- Benevolence LA , bag-- Shiraleah , sandals- Born I first became aware of Cottagecore earlier this summer and found it to be an aesthetic I can appreciate and find aspirational , but was not necessarily a style that aligned with my wheelhouse. Well as I've been growing my hair during covid quarantine and having picked up this dress as seen here , I felt that I was ready to tackle #cottagecore here on my 40th birthday!!! Yep, that's right today I turn 40 (but I don't look it). And while it's been a year like no other, I feel excited for my next year, decade, chapter of my life. I think it's fair to say I'm done having babies and ready to move on from the chaos of very little children to the chaos of big kids.  I no longer feel like I have something to proof in my work, writing, sense of self. I'm just going to enjoy and be grateful for the many blessings of family, friends, health, a...

Two Things

First: Isabel Marant's collocation for H&M debuts today in select stores AND online at noon, so you may want to get up on that.  Here are a few looks I'm lusting after. Hello mixed patterns!   Love the oversized coat and the detail on these jeans.   Patterned blazer, cropped colorful trousers, yes please!   Of course, I cannot partake in this collection with my Year Of No Shopping, but that doesn't mean you shouldn't. So get ready to go by noon because I'm sure this noise will sell out fast.   Number Two: I'm thinking about a new haircut.  Something along the lines of Tilda Swinton .     What do we think? I'm not going to go blond, but I like the shorter/buzzed sides and back with length on the top. Mr. Keller is hesitant, he thinks it's too masculine, but I'm kind of in the mood to go a bit edgy and I've had the same cut now for two-ish years...  FYI: Tilda Swinton is my spirit animal!   ...

Gift Guide Part 3--Literature

So far I've covered beauty products and socks in this year's round of gift guides, which are prefect gift categories for the coming winter. To add to that list--reading! Here are a few books from my Books Worth Reading Pinterest board, first up--poetry! James Allen Hall's "I Liked You Better Before I Knew You So Well" from the CSU Poetry Center I LOVED Hall's 1st book   Now You're the Enemy , which won awards from the Texas Institute of Letters, the Lambda Literary Foundation, and the Fellowship of Southern Writers. So this is on my personal wish list to read here during the snowy days to come.  Anthology from Mason Jar Press "The Black Ladies Brunch Collective’s Poetry Anthology,  Not Without Our Laughter ,  is a collection of humorous and joyful poems, riffing on Langston Hughes’s novel  Not Without Laughter . It explores topics of family, work, love and sexuality. The women of BLBC believe, like Hughes, that even in these ...
