L’Ecole Des Femmes – Normandie

May 14, 2013November 11, 2014Leave a comment

I only very recently came across L’Ecole Des Femmes. I had been browsing lookbooks trying to get a feel for Larkspur’s upcoming Summer one, and I was pleasantly surprised when I found these images. I can confidently say, almost all their lookbooks are captivating. They have a knack for picking the right photographer, location and models, mashing all those things together and creating images that are utterly breathtaking. This particular one was shot by David Shama in Paris and Normandy (actually click the link, he’s amazing!!!). Model, Adeline Jouan could have one of my favourite faces. I have a soft spot for any girl with a gap tooth and a face that is stunning without copious amounts of make-up (curse you!). Jessica Pare, meet your blonde doppelganger and my new girl crush.

Even if naughty professor and school girl attire is not your cup of tea, I highly suggest checking out L’Ecole Des Femmes. If only for the decades past vibes and some artistic inspiration vibes.

Lauren Moffatt (belated) SS13

May 6, 2013Leave a comment

There couldn’t be a collection more suited to my idea of Spring and Summer than Lauren Moffatt’s SS13 collection. Perfect outfits for date nights to ice cream shops, sangria in the park, outdoor movies, lakeside bike rides and girls nights eating oysters & drinking champagne on a patio somewhere.

I’m well aware how late I am on posting this, but until recently there was no point torturing myself with Spring/Summer collections at all. But it’s warm now, and with my first sunburn of the season, comes my first post about Summer clothes. So bear with me while I make my way through all the amazing collections that have already been covered by every other blog out there!

My best friend Stef and I finally got our act together this year, and planned our first ever friend-vacation in the 15 years we’ve known each other! We’ve got a pretty awesome long weekend booked at The Graham & Co. in the Catskills, NY, where we intend on doing a lot of hiking, poolside lounging, funky antique hunting and coffee/cocktail drinking. It’s a little under two months away, which feels like an eternity at this point, but I have no doubt with the weather getting nicer, that the time will fly by and we’ll be sipping mojitos by the fireside before we know it.

In the freaky little daydream montage that loops in my head when I think about the trip – these are the outfits I would be wearing!!

1. Lauren Moffatt Cannonball Bikini… 2. J Crew Marina Mini Wedge Espadrilles in Chambray… 3. Steven Alan Sunhat… 4. J Crew Tartine Tote… 5. Essie “Tart Deco” Nailpolish

Orla Kiely A/W 2013

April 2, 2013November 11, 2014Leave a comment

It is no surprise that I am always pretty smitten with Orla Kiely’s collections. With a nod to decades past, it’s right up my alley. Her presentation for A/W 2013 collection could have been lifted straight from a scene of Mad Men. Watching the video made me wish I worked in an office in the 1960’s, full of beehives, cat-eye glasses, a-line silhouettes and plenty of pointed collars. This was one of those collections I had a hard time not including every look. With every scroll of the mouse my eyes would widen and I’d find my fingers saving every image. Like a kid in a candy shop. Or in my case, like Alex visiting a chocolatier.

This is another infinitely wearable collection, that if I had any money at all, I would like to own pretty well every piece (squirrel embroidery!!!). But alas my pockets do not runneth over.

Listen to the wind blow

I think this may have been the first weekend in a long time that I did not have to set my alarm. ~~I still did though.~~ Sleeping in was a much welcomed event at the Gus & Alex Everglades Residence.

Olivia was in town this weekend, so Meg and I spent some time with her, eating Pho (surprise, surprise), having drinks and never making it out to bars because we were too chatty. In between fun with Olivia and Meaghan’s new love for yoga, we found some time to thrift for the shop. We are both pretty excited about our finds! There are a few things that may need to be pried from my hands. This floral dress I’m wearing being one of them. Expect to see it in the shop in the next coming weeks.
