Happy Thursday all! We have more lovely items to share with you today. More 70’s vibes, which comes as no surprise I’m sure. Pop (click) on by the shop and take a look-see.
1990’s High-Waisted Floral Circle Skirt
1970’s Striped Short Sleeve Collared Shirt
1970’s Burnt Orange High-Waisted Trousers
1990’s Plaid High-Waisted Pencil Skirt
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.

1970’s Floral Shirtwaist Dress
We’ve got a little 50’s, 70’s and 90’s for ya in the shop today!! It may still be cold in some places around the world (cough, Toronto), but it is not too early to buy some cheerful Spring/Summer fun, and dream of riding bikes around and laying in parks with the sun shining down.
1950’s Black and White Gingham Jumper
1970’s White Linen Peasant Blouse
1990’s Navy Pleated Mini Skirt
Well, as I stated in yesterday’s post, we’ve all got a little case of S.A.D. these days around the Larkspur HQ. So, mostly, all we’ve been up to – when work and dance aren’t keeping us busy – is hanging with our dogs, reading, cooking giant pots of chili-that-last-for-weeks, and gazing sadly out the window, as it continues to snow and be grey. At least we have the shop to keep us busy! We’re into the planning stages of a Spring/Summer lookbook, which (hopefully) will make the warm weather come faster!
(I was the lucky winner of a recent Stay Home Club giveaway, and I don’t think I’ve left the house without my tote since I got it in the mail last week!)
(I went through a huge Capra phase a few years ago, but I just started this biography – and it’s making me love him all over again!)

1. Acne blouse, sweater & blue jeans …. 2. Madewell bag, necklace & mini wedges
We’ve made it to the middle of another endless March – when Winter promises to make everyone lose their minds. This time of year always makes me extra dramatic, and on my two-block-trek -through -blowing-snow to a bus stop, I start to imagine myself as a Willa Cather character – plowing a field by hand, in the middle of Winter, in the Midwest, at the turn of the century – and it toughens me up a little. The best I can do to stay positive at this time of year, is to tell myself “it could be worse”, and then compare myself to a character in a book – like the one I recently finished: Ann-Marie Macdonald’s “Fall on your Knees”, which I mostly liked because of Frances, the sassy middle child who reminds me of pre-code film, impish female leads and Marlene Dietrich.
But, I digress. None of these books have much of anything to do with this post, unless maybe I subconsciously created outfits that the sisters in Fall on Your Knees would wear if they were modern day girls (but I doubt it). These are just a few transitional outfits I would wear, if my mornings could be spent pretending I was in a Nancy Mitford novel instead of dark depressing ones (even though they’re my favorite ones to read).
Here’s hoping you have nicer weather than here, wherever you are!
