Easy Weekend Wear

I tend to go through a few casual-weekend uniforms a year, depending on the season. In early spring, I’m all about showing some leg + even open toes, while staying warm in the breeze with layers on top. I don’t think it’s possible to own too many comfy high-waisted skirts, and I have been living in my denim jacket this month!

[ Well Balanced Sweater, Sugarhill Boutique, $75 ]
[ Linen-Cotton Mini, J.Crew Factory, $50 ]
[ Faux Leather Mid-Wedges, Old Navy, $30 ]
[ The Jean Jacket, Madewell, $94.50 (sale!) ]
[ The Lovelock Minibag, Madewell, $98 (sale!) ]
[ Carousel Bangle, Kate Spade, $250 ]
[ Barrington Spinnaker Bracelet, Kiel James Patrick, $38 ]

What’s your go-to weekend look?

Sweater Weather

After a mild October up here in New England, it is now officially sweater weather. Here are some knits I’d be perfectly happy cozying up in as the temperature continues to drop…

(1) Frenchie Sweater, J.Crew, $98
(2) Peckson Cable Sweater, Jack Wills, $99
(3) Solid Varsity Cardigan, Delia’s, $36
(4) Swan Sweater, Miss Selfridge, $68

Now a real question I’ve been debating all season: what do you think is the appropriate amount of money to spend on a sweater?

Anchors Aweigh

Anchor dress; pearls, J.Crew // Belt, Aldo [similar] // Bracelets, Bfrend; vintage // Bow, unknown [similar] // Boat shoes, Sperry Top-Sider

How excited was I to wake up a few weeks ago to find a J.Crew dress I had been eyeing forever on sale?

Very excited. I plan to wear it inappropriate amounts. Not accepting the fact that summer is over and bare legs are soon to be a thing of the past.

Anchor Cardigan, J.Crew // Shorts, H&M // Belt, vintage // Pearls, vintage // Watch, GUESS [similar] // Bracelets, Kiel James Patrick, GLITTERBOX Jewelry, Alex & Ani, Bfrend // Striped Satchel, American Eagle // Shoes, Lacoste [similar]

I wore this Jackie-O-esque outfit on Labor Day… to savor the last few hours of white shorts being acceptable… and to prove that Taylor Swift isn’t the only one who is inspired by her style… :)

Gingham Gorg

I’ll be the first to admit that I’ve never been a huge fan of gingham. Shocking, right, considering my tendencies to lean toward vintage-y preppy granny looks at times? But I am attempting it today, in honor of Friday’s Fancies, and actually am growing quite smitten with this particular little frock. Perfect for the dog days of summer.

Sabrina Dress, Altuzarra for J.Crew, $100 (sale!)
Bee Studs, BaubleBar, $24
Coated Canvas Weekender, Anthropologie, $150 (sale!)
Levona Sandals, Fitzwell, $48 (sale!)

Picnic, anyone?

A Royal Blue

Oh, I’m sorry, have we not discussed my love for all things related to Kate Middleton’s style lately? You’re in luck today then.

James Whatling / Splash News

Ever since the Duchess donned this sky blue Stella McCartney during a visit to the National Portrait Gallery last week, I’ve had the color on my mind. You can still find the actual dress here for a pretty penny, but below are a few more affordable options in this glowing hue…

(1) Tiered Vest Dress by Boutique, Topshop, $150
(2) Plenty by Tracy Reese Everyday Royalty Dress, ModCloth, $268
(3) Stretch Silk-Blend Dress, DKNY, $118 (sale!)
(4) Flocked Cobalt Dress, Anthropologie, $188
(5) Duck Print Skater Dress, ASOS, $36
(6) Maritime Dress in Skinny Stripe, J.Crew, $60 (sale!)

Are there any famous figure influencing your style lately? Colors you’ve been craving?

Wedding Wear

One thing I didn’t even realize until I got into my twenties was that there is a very clear and distinct wedding season, and we are right in the midst of it! I already showed off what I’ll be wearing to one wedding this summer, but here’s another dreamy wedding guest look I have in mind, this one for a more formal affair:

Bow Monde Dress in Silk Taffeta, J. Crew, $250
Petal to the Metal Clutch, Marc by Marc Jacobs, $238
Knotty Bangle, Lilly Pulitzer, $28
Chunky Chain Cuff, BaubleBar, $24
Sawyer Heels, Kate Spade New York, $328

This is my absolute favorite J. Crew dress… in the history of J. Crew dresses. My friend Natasha wore it to our graduation last May, and they keep bringing it back with more and more colors! Heck if it’s still available by the time some poor soul decides to marry me, you can be sure that my bridesmaids will be wearing it :)

How many weddings will you be dressing up for this season?

Nautical Nights

I’d happily wear nautical all year round, especially living up here along the water, but thank goodness for summer when it seems to be the style on everyone’s mind and is so readily available! Some of my current favorite pieces…
