Raspberries, Blueberries, Gingham... It's a Picnic!

Prior to shopping for the next lookbook pieces, I picked up the bestie {who had the day off, unexpectedly. HOORAY!}.   

Her wardrobe, and I mean everything in her closet, is near 98% vintage: circa 1920 - 1950.   

Today's ensemble played well with others, mine in particular.   

So 

...

let the photos commence!

Have Another Cup of Teal

 

Desired attire & accessories conjured up over some afternoon tea, musing over a Teal Tourmaline ring I stumbled upon during yesterday's outings {hint, hint Mr. Right} and this Emerald dream of a jumpsuit by Catherine Malandrino


I have to say I'm feeling a bit blue, and a bit green {with envy, of course} that all of these items are not in my closet.

* The KATE by Remix Classic Vintage Footwear 

* The EVA by Remix Classic Vintage Footwear  

* Teal Topaz Ring by R. Klein         

(they have the most incredible art deco jewelry EVER!) see: La Metrop - Paris  

* Straw Mohawk Minaudiere by BCBG  

Icy blue winter is still in the air, but birds are chirping and the sun is brightening our days.  Spring is only a hop, step and a skip away.  Saddle up with a warm cup of teal and let her colorful accents inspire a gemstone wardrobe.

Shop Girl Feature

So, this blog is more of a day-by-day/ short story fairytale meets fashion and inspiration.  However, today I came across some incredible finds that I HAVE to share with you.


This FRIENDLY FEATURE is Shop FRANKIE's

The Cropped Shearling Jacket is the bees knees!  I’ve been wanting a cropped aviator, but I’ve had a really hard time finding one that’s vegan AND still fancy-pants.  This one is!

This Oversized Wide Neck Tee & the Striped Batwing Sweater are two go-to pieces & must haves! They’re season-versatile and can be mixed n’matched for day or evening wear!

Their many colors of Tissue Knit Infinity Scarfs are fantastic.  I’m so obsessed with these right now b/c they double as hoods when the wind picks up at night {& every girl looks adorable with a little hood framing her face}.

 AND how sweet is this little Leopard Dress!  I’m not a big animal prints wearer but this piece is subtle w/ only the black & white print {hints of gold underneath} and the tan blocked-in. It reminds me of a vintage BCBG blue & gold tea-dress I have.  Also, the leather straps are faux {vegan-fashion-lovers alert}!

Way to go Frankie’s! Simple & Classy.
