Admiral and Tea

January 2012

[Excitement, snow day, painted nails, drinks, new shoes, the beach, coziness]

Late-Winter Weekends

Casual and easy, for going out for breakfast, shopping downtown and walking along the water.

Dressy Holiday Outfit

Because the holidays are the best (and most socially acceptable) time to simultaneously wear a fancy dress, sparkly heels, and faux-fur!

Mid-December Outfit

Pair with jeans and get to tree-picking, hot chocolate-drinking, gift-buying, movie-watching, and friend-visiting!

Fall outfit inspiration

I love this look by Erin of Calivintage. Cute but warm and menswear-inspired but just feminine enough.

Here's my take: sweater from Madewell, Franco Sarto "Patriot" boots, flannel shirt from American Eagle, jeans from A&F.

Madewell fall looks

The current Madewell lookbook is so perfect for right now- the layering is cozy and practical and the colours are amazing. I love when I come across looks that make me feel excited about getting dressed and about the cooler weather. Sorry- I tried to edit down these images but I just love them all too much.
