Ok, so its still not super hot where I am, dunno what the deal is. Today its supposed to actually go over 70 degrees, but today is also the day I want to wear my boots. Why do these things always clash?! The day I want to wear a fun sundress I freeze, and the day I feel the need to layer and bust out the boots it’s hot. Ah well, there’s always this lass who seems to have both camps covered:
P.S. how cute is the jewelry holder on the wall?!
love this no-fear combo! I’m always a sucker for gingham, even tho it’s so picnic. Maybe that’s why I like it - I always think of summer outdoors!
thx to DW’s photostream on Flickr!
Dear Coveters,
Recently we were lucky enough to have a lovely Emilio Pucci for Formfit Rogers bell sleeve beauty in an AMAZING shade of coral! Well, we are pleased to say this rare Pucci has found a new home! An avid and obviously elegant collector was very happy to be the one to snap it up! She shared with us a lovely story about the meaning and milestones that clothing can mark in our lives…
She writes “…it is a rare print to find indeed. My grandparents owned a winter home in Palm Springs from 1975-1986. It was my favorite place to visit and I have always adopted my Grandmother’s style and taste in clothes and furniture. (Mid-Century Modern)
…and waiting and waiting here. I actually had to break out a cashmere sweater today. IT IS JUNE, people! How can this be? Well, ok, I am known to have hands straight from the morguedrawer even on an 80 degree day, I run a bit chill all the time, and a small breeze makes me run for a scarf no matter what, but still!
In any event, there’s a tag-party going ’round some of my fav blogrs where you list your own wardrobe basics. This cashmere sweater would be one. I always try to stock up on larger size slouchy vintage men’s cashmere V-necks at the thrift store. You’d be surprised what decent quality ones I have found, older vintage ones from the 60s are great. They are usually so reasonably priced I end up using them in place of the ubiquitous sweatshirt everyone else wears. And they can be washed in cold water and layed out to dry like any other sweater, I find. I like to pair them with some dark bootcut jeans, a bit of silver jewelry and some interesting boots. No, not earth-shattering, but super comfy and just a bit slouchy-cool…
