Summer Flashback

jeanshorts2

jeanshorts1

Flashback: Mid-August on a carefree afternoon in Seattle. (Photos taken in my parent’s lovely backyard.) The temperature oustide was in the high-70s with sunshine and a light breeze.

Current day: Mid-October on a dreary afternoon in New York. The temperature outside is in the low 40s with rain and wind.

I was out in this rainy weather all morning and was finally able to come home this afternoon, take a hot shower, and make a fresh cup of coffee. I put on my comfy clothes, which at the moment, consists of a white furry hooded zip-up vest, a deep purple jersey dress-turned-nightgown, and bunny slippers. I must be channeling Jessica here! Anyway, as I got up to change my music selection from Frank Sinatra to Michael Buble, I pulled up my blinds for a moment and stared out at the rain coming down. I immediately thought back to my lovely summer at home in Seattle, and that’s when I remembered these photos. I had been holding on to them for a moment just like this. A moment where you need to be reminded that sun does exist, what it’s like to be dry when walking outside, and what it’s like to go barefoot in your backyard. These photos make me so happy, so I hope by sharing them with you, that the lighthearted energy behind each photograph shines through, and that the sun peeking through the back garden gate might add a little extra cheer to your day. xoxo

My Outfit: Feeling Patriotic

IMG_1276

Untitled-1

Folks, it’s official. I finally bought my very own pair of red tights! I have been searching for a pair for quite some time and then as I walked past an American Apparel last night and found exactly what I was looking for. As you know, I have been having the best time remixing this dress, so I of course had to immediately try the two of them together. What a smashing contrast! I borrowed my roommates new coat/trench and accented with my mustard-colored purse. Don’t you think the headscarf and over-sized glasses give it a 1950s/politician’s wife feel? Very patriotic, indeed!

My Outfit:
Scarf: NafNaf in Paris
Sunglasses: Vintage, 20twenty in Ballard
Coat: Roomies!
Dress: Vintage, thrifted from Buffalo Exchange
Belt: Thrifted, somewhere in the west village (?)
Necklace: Grandmother’s vintage watch on chain
Tights: American Apparel
Shoes: Jenni Kayne, gift from BFF
Bag: Coach

Dear Seattle, I will miss you. Love, Me

I flew out yesterday, back to NYC, and said a very tearful goodbye to my family. But, before I left, we had a lovely dinner right on the water—here are some fun photos to share with you!

Inspired by the weather.

So it seems like it is pretty hot in New York right now, but Seattle has been having a bit of a cool streak compared to the extreme heat wave that took place when I first arrived in late July. And, I gotta say, the crisper weather has definitely been having an effect on me. I am already starting to think about what I am going to wear this fall.  Plus, NY fashion week is soon to be upon us, so it is inevitable! What is the weather like where you are? Are you in full summer mode or are you dreaming of September?

My Outfit: DIY Dress-Two in One!

Me and Faye

As many of you may or may not know, I work as a personal stylist and wardrobe consultant. Last week, I wore this dress (original length in top photos) on a shopping outing with Faye who is a client of mine. I tried it on with the white blazer vest and then the jean jacket, which I liked the best, but was put off by the length of the dress. So, I merely grabbed my scissors and snipped away. I took off enough fabric to now have my very own circle scarf, similar to those in American Apparel! So, if you have a jersey knit dress or skirt, which is easiest to trim yourself, just figure out where you want the hem to fall, mark it and then cut it! I must say I was extremely pleased with the end result. So much cuter when shorter!

More photos to come of Faye in her various clothing and outfits that I styled!

Happy Monday!
