Palettes with a Pop

September 18, 2013 by Emily Leave a Comment

I have a tendency to stick to one color palette with my outfits [right down to the nail polish— today’s is After School Boy Blazer by Essie], to the point where it almost becomes matchy-matchy. I put this outfit on other day, realized I was giving into my bad habit, and therefore decided to add a pop of pattern and additional color with my new Merona leopard pumps from Target. Much better.

And why yes! My legs are that pale. Any hint of a summer bronze is long gone for this girl!

How do you add fun pops to your everyday outfits?

Growing up, I spent every August in a New England beach town. I remember the first year I visited in the fall, when the temperature had dropped significantly, the wind had picked up, and the summer crowds were long gone. It was incredibly quiet and chilly, a different world from the harbor town I had grown up with, but so beautiful and peaceful. Now I make a point to take beach walks throughout the fall and winter, to savor the lack of crowds and brisk, but still salty, breeze.

Peter Pan Collar

Sweater, H&M [similar] // Peter Pan Collar c/o Sincerely Sweet Boutique // Denim cutoffs, Forever 21 // Bow earrings, BCBG [similar 1; 2] // Swiss Dot Tights, Kate Spade // Clutch, Garance Dore for Kate Spade [shape; print] // Patent flats, Urban Outfitters [similar 1; 2]

I have just loved the peter pan collar trend that’s been gaining traction over the last year, but have always been too shy to try it– until I received this dainty little one from Sincerely Sweet Boutique. It was just the right amount of statement and fit easily with this oversized knit, and had a vintage feel without being too in-your-face, or little girl-ish. I also love their Timeless Addendum and Austen Society Lace Trim Vintage Collars– such sweet little touches to add to outfits!

Last Saturday may or may not have been the most perfect fall day in Boston. One of those days when you curse the sun for setting so early, and you have no shame prancing around in a tulle skirt with pearl details out of pure happiness– in this case, one that is attached to an adorable navy sweater that forms to make the most perfect little dress. I found this little gem at Sincerely Sweet Boutique— an online retailer based out of Orange County, CA with an endless supply of feminine, vintage-inspired, and downright sweet fashions and accessories. I also snagged this Peter Pan statement collar and cannot wait to pair it with a number of chunky knits this winter!

Lighthouse Road

As much as I love my New England summers, I can’t deny how beautiful a crisp fall day along the water can be as well. This Lighthouse is my happy place, has been since I was a little girl, and is during all seasons.

And do you love this Pride & Prejudice tote?? Sometimes working in publishing definitely has its perks… 🙂

I’m a little bit in love with mixing fancy skirts wine comfy knits lately. They help tone down the flashiness of the outfit, making daytime sequins all the more appropriate!

Do you rock sequins during the day?

Jeans + boots + oxford shirts have quickly become my fall go-to uniform, but does that really surprise anyone…?

All-American Fall

Cardigan, H&M [similar] // AG Stevie Polka Dot Pants, Anthropologie [similar] // Pearls, J.Crew // Bracelets, Alex & Ani; Kiel James Patrick // Le Pliage Tote, Longchamp // Flats, Lacoste [similar]

I feel fortunate to be one of those lucky New England residents who get Columbus Day off from work. I spent this year’s Monday holiday, appropriately yet not intentionally, dressed in rather American colors, walking around a small Massachusetts town and finally having a chance to breathe and appreciate the beauty of early autumn.

Hunting Season

Bow skirt, Urban Outfitters [similar] // Cardigan, H&M [similar] // Tank, Anthropologie // Necklace, J.Crew // Around the World Watch, Urban Outfitters // Bow clip, American Apparel // Tote, Jack Wills [similar 1; 2] // Wellies, Hunter

Not that the rain ever really stopped here, but I do like waiting for fall to break out my pillar box red Hunter Wellies. Funny how you can get so sick of something in your closet, like riding boots… a camel coat… mittens, and then find a renewed love for them after a few months off!

Meant To Be

Once upon a time, there was an affair that brought maidens from all over to an enchanted land…

The Anthropologie 50% Off Sale.

And in a dark corner in that crowded sale room, I found one single pair of my long-lusted-after Bowed Lacerta Mary Janes.

And I just couldn’t say no. We are now living happily ever after.
