Black, Nude, Silver and White

There are always fantastic editorials floating around come September, but this particular editorial has been tacked up on my inspiration board for the last two months. It showed up quietly in the July issue of Marie Claire and it captures so many things that I love. 

The palette of coal black, blushing nude, silver and winter white, a Moodboard favorite, gorgeous in stand alone pieces. I love that the styling allowed the clothing to shine on their own without excess clutter. And can we talk about how ethereal model Fatima Siad looks? Ah, those gorgeous curls!

Thanks to this editorial I have a new found obsession with the Elsa Peretti Bone Cuff. I'm also wanting everything in the Lover collection, particularly all the white lace dresses.

Mint Green Love

Mint green is my favorite color, and I'm so glad it is popping up for spring. Luckily, you can always count on finding 500 things in the same color at J.Crew.

1. J.Crew Ruffled Spring Celosia Cardigan 2. J.Crew Seraphina Dress 3. J.Crew Light Blade Shorts 4. Anthropologie Double Torsade Necklace

 

Stripes, Plaid and Red Just to Mix it Up

 

I almost spit out my hot cocoa, when I saw this picture on the Sartorialist. Not only do I adore this outfit, but I thought for a moment he was wearing my vintage coat. 

 

That outfit also reminded me of a brand I keep seeing pop on Net-a-Porter, Aubin & Wills. It is a sister line to Jack Wills, which looks like a British version of Abercrombie & Fitch. For a British line, they actually have perfect French style stripe tees that are all the rage right now. Act fast though, their pieces don't seem to last long on the site before they sell out.

1. Rayser Tee, $158 2. Pearton Striped Tee, $80 3.Bankfield Wool Cape, $485

Disclosure: If anyone was wondering, I don't get paid to promote certain lines. I post what I love at the moment, which would be that striped boat neck tee above. POCKETS! Though I want the tee next just as much. Sigh.

Color Inspiration: Grey & Caramel

 

I'm obsessing over grey and caramel combinations in my home and fashion. Jamie Theakston's living room manages to look crisp and warm at the same time. The gorgeous rug is from Habitat and I need it.
