A Bit of a Spring Awakening

Hello! Oh my, winter is rough and life has been busy, and at the same time the days move at a glacier's pace. Yes, it has been quite some time since my last post, which if we're being honest, was a bit lack luster. And probably no one may even be reading this, but it was a gorgeous over this past weekend, I wore this dress and coat combo and got some pictures! 
















Wind Gust!

I picked this dress up on boxing day, aka December 26th at my local Nordstrom Rack. I posted about that excursion on Instagram for those who follow me there. I love how this works as both a winter and spring look with the black background of the floral. So far the handful of times I've worn this frock I've coordinated the styling in black, but there are other tones in the pattern, like the pastel pinks and blues, or the more acidy yellow that could be striking on the accessories front as the season transitions. I'm also loving the plaid coat with the floral. 

Hopefully, with the warmer weather I'll be able to get pics and post more often as we roll into spring. Thanks for reading!

  1. I love the floral print, gathering, and styling at the neckline of that very pretty dress from Nordstrom Rack,
    the styling of the belt from Gap that you cinched it in at the waist with,
    and the jewellery you accessorised it with.
    You look fabulous wearing it styled with the coat from H+M.
    Best wishes for a fashiontastic Spring!

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!    

Nasty Gal

Since the weather has been horrible I've been consoling myself with online shopping. And have made my first purchase with Nasty Gal : Lacy Chiffon Blouse Yuma Studded Blouse Alva Knit Dotted Stud Blouse Apparently I'm having a button-up shirt craving. I think all three of these shirts could work with the sweater, which is an alternative to your basic pull-over and may be a bit too edgy for work. But, I'm thinking a conservative wool trousers would nicely balance it out.  And in writing this I've come to the realization that my work "uniform" for the rest of the winter will focus on mixing edgy pieces, (or items with unexpected details) with conservative basics.  That might not always actually happen, but it's a good starting off point in planning a week's office wear.  Okay, enough of my pontificating, go check out the sale over at Nasty Gal there are some great deals to be had.

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
