Phoenix Boutique

Went on an impromptu shopping trip a few Saturdays a go and took some dressing-room selfies. You may recall my post about Pavement. From there I stepped over to Phoenix Boutique a high end consignment store in Lawrenceville. 


This top still had the tags, from C/MEO Collective (more options here and the same top over at Poshmark) original price--$150(!) so a huge deal at $30. I didn't get the skirt because I have similar skirts and I don't wear a ton of skirts. This top will probably become a regular player with the upcoming warmer weather. As you can see I kept my hiking sweat pants and sneakers on for these try-ons because I'm classy like that! 


Anthropologie (similar here, here, and here)

Played around with layering this sheer turtleneck under a cropped, boxy top, not really feeling it. This tweedy, fringed piece stayed at the store. 

Look at her in leather! Bit of a struggle to get this off, she also stayed at the store.



Another NWT item from Nordstrom (similar here and here) so sleek, so cool, this could top off just about any office outfit. A chic third piece for sure! 

A great sweater from "Lara Knit" more options here. The elbow patches really make it! And don't think it won't get worn this month, spring is also sweater weather season in my book. 

And something for fun! Not really my style, but cute and maybe if I hadn't found the grey cardigan above, it could have gone home with me. 

The dressing room is a great place to experiment and try-on outside of your usual comfort zone/personal style. I love creating outfits from pieces in the store, but also being mindful of how I can incorporate individual pieces with what I have hanging at home. Highly recommend Phoenix Boutique

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 ...
