Buttoned Up

 

Whenever I’m feeling uninspired, I throw on a cardigan as a sweater. It’s simple and chic and shows a sliver more skin than my typical crewnecks do. Look for an oversized style or size up to eliminate the risk of anything showing through the button gaps.

Le Weekend XLIV

 

I’m on the hunt for a perfect jewelry catchall – any suggestions? This image of The Half Moon Bag by The Row has me swooning. I recently watched Pamela, A Love Story on Netflix and thought it was very well done – I highly recommend. Have a great weekend, all.

The Beginning

 

I consider this image the beginning – the start of my love of simple, minimal, Scandinavian style. Stumbling across this image of Elin Kling and Linn Hagglund on Pinterest about a decade ago opened my eyes to the fact that simple is usually better. I used to dress to stand out and always looked for pieces with an extra detail that no one else would have – which quickly lead to a closet full of clothes with nothing to wear. Ever since then I’ve been striving to buy less and buy better. Focus on the classics and you’ll never go out of style. I’m still searching for Linn’s gorgeous Bottega Veneta slingbacks ten years later.

Le Weekend XLIII

 

A typical weekend coming up – grocery shopping, errands and spending time with family. Looking forward to watching the big game with some delicious snacks on Sunday. I’ve been binging the Smartless podcast; it’s hosted by Jason Bateman, Sean Hayes and Will Arnett. Their interesting guests and funny banter is a joy to listen to.

Isabel Marant

 

Isabel Marant’s signature style is laid back and slouchy chic. Per her website, Isabel dresses women for their real lives – walking down the street or zipping off on a scooter. Not a single item leaves her workshop without first being tried on. A happy mixture of unbridled creativity, selfless seduction and a tireless pursuit of pleasure, Isabel Marant’s Maison is an ode to the sublime chaos of life.
